Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy if struggling to conceive
Question
My husband and I have been struggling to conceive for almost five years and have completed a round of IVF that was unsuccessful. We are now looking at next steps to try and expand our family. My question is about LIT therapy. LIT therapy is Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy and I believe it is used as a type of fertility treatment. There is a clinic in Greece that I am looking into doing some further testing with, and they offer this if one of the tests they do comes up with results where basically the husband and wife’s DNA attacks each other and thinks it is a foreign body so does not allow the body to accept implantation. So, they draw blood from the husband, isolate the white blood cells from his blood and form it into an injection, and then this is injected into the wife to encourage her body to accept the husband’s DNA. Is this type of therapy allowed? This is a link to the therapy itself with the clinic I am looking at visiting: https://www.fertilysis.com/services/lymphocyte-immunization-therapy.
