The protocol basically revolves around a few principles.

A puppy is fully protected by it's mother's colostrum until it reaches 8 weeks of age. Many Vets will argue that this protection extends weeks beyond this point.

Can my dentist follow Huggins protocol?

Huggins Applied Healing | FAQ's
Your dentist can take the training and follow the Protocol. This protocol is not taught in dental school, for schools teach that mercury is safe in the mouth, root canals are "Preventive dentistry", and that cavitations do not exist. By not following the Protocol, a dentist is apt to make the mistakes that Huggins made back in the 60's. Others can learn by his experience.

What is EPD? How does it work?

EPD FAQ (Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization FAQ)
Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization (EPD) is an administration, via skin injection, of a beta glucuronidase enzyme and minute doses of mixed allergens. The enzyme is used at levels already found present in the body and the allergens are used in quantities much less than in conventional desensitizing treatments (allergy shots). The treatment is safer than conventional desensitizing treatments due to the low volumes of the agents.

Can any doctor administer EPD?

EPD FAQ (Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization FAQ)
No. Physicians need to participate in a short, but very important course of training before they can obtain the necessary supplies. Doctors doing food and chemical EPD need additional training in dietary considerations and gut preparations in addition to the EPD training. Prospective patients will have to continue to seek a doctor that they can get to, who is trained in the technique.

Is there an EPD doctor near my town?

EPD FAQ (Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization FAQ)

In 2001 all treatment in the USA were stopped until the FDA paperwork was completed to the satisfaction of the FDA. The EPD approach is unique enough that it apparently doesn't fit the existing paperwork structures well.

EPD FAQ (Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization FAQ)
On 11 Jun 1996, MARTHA RALL <mrall at kumc.edu> said: EPD should not interfere with your ability to work, unless you get some unusually SEVERE side effects with it.

Do I have to go through a lot of testing before beginning EPD?

EPD FAQ (Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization FAQ)
Most doctors will do some testing and will certainly record your history to determine if indeed you have allergies to pollens, foods, and/or chemicals. Generally, it need not define all the specifics but simply determine categories so he can pick the EPD serums for your case. Traditional tests may be used where available. Alternative tests are possible if desired. Much of this depends on the doctor and how much he wants to document.

What can you tell me about the actual EPD injection?

EPD FAQ (Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization FAQ)
In the U.S. EPD is generally administered by a shot injected sideways just under the skin on the inside of the forearm. The needle is inserted sideways, so the shaft is almost laying flat on the skin. The serum is injected just under the skin. This leaves a welt not unlike a large mosquito bite which subsides in a half hour or so. The needle is quite small and feels like a mosquito bite or a bit worse.

He's now a normal almost-four-year-old, and I believe he gets about 3 shots a year. So the pesky protocol inconveniences his life only a few weeks per year.

Will EPD fix my CFS?

EPD FAQ (Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization FAQ)
CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) is a tough nut to crack. A number of EPD Mailing List members report that EPD has not (as yet anyway) been fully effective against CFS. However, EPD has made enough difference in food, inhalant, and chemical side issues to be worthwhile. Even though EPD does not appear to be a CFS cure, it has reportedly been very beneficial at regaining strength and regaining a more normal lifestyle.

What can I do to convince my insurance to cover EPD?

EPD FAQ (Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization FAQ)
Consider that the insurance company already has your money (premiums paid), they make the rules on what is covered, they likely have no clue about what EPD is, and you want some of your money back. A suggested approach likely should include kind communications and education (loud voices and mean letters can always be used as a follow-up, but rarely does the soft sell approach work after they are put on the defensive).
