I heard about him from a good friend who is presently receiving LDA immunotherapy for a wide range of dermal and gastrointestinal problems. His case is interesting because no doctors (even alternative medicine docs) have been successful with him over the past 20 years or so, but he's been working with Dr. Shrader since November 2007 and he says he's very pleased with the progress he's made so far. He's been able to eat food that he hasn't been able to eat in years. You can probably find out a bit more about the success rate of LDA with Crohn's by calling their office (the number is available at http://www.drshrader.com/). An extensive study was done on EPD treatment (the UK predecessor of LDA) several years ago and Crohn's was one of the conditions treated. You can see the results of that test at the following URL: http://drshrader.com/pr03.htm Dr. Shrader's CV is on the site also, so you can see exactly where he "comes from". Unfortunately I can't give you a whole lot of detailed information yet as we have only had one phone conversation with the doctor. My wife's first appointment is next week, so after that I'll know a bit more about what we're looking at there. Be aware that the process of LDA is relatively long (you have to plan to stick with it for at least a year for sure), but from what I've been told the outlook for IBD-type patients on LDA is very good. I hope this helps! I understand what a rough ride these sorts of diseases are. If you want to read more about connections made between diet and disease, see if you can find a copy of Rinkel's book on Allergy (it's out of print now, from the 1950's) and, more recently, Theron Randolph's book, and Nikki Dumke's books. There's a LOT more out there. Remember that if you're going to go down this road, you and your daughter have to be committed to the long haul. Food intolerance is complicated at best.

Where did you hear about him and what is his success rate? My daughter has Crohn's and I'm always on the lookout for something positive.
