**8.4 Unproven and ineffective treatments**

In some of the recent studies, an enzyme potentiated desensitization (EPD), experimental treatment has been tried and had not produced any promising results. Many hypoallergic food preparation now follow the same strategy. The treatment approach but failed to convince and had not accepted as effective [50]. EPD uses dilutions of allergen with an enzyme, beta-glucuronidase, that changes the allergen nature and polarize T-regulatory lymphocytes which favor desensitization, or down-regulate IgE induction and prevent allergic reactions.
