Lidia M. Epp is a molecular biologist who discovered that the symptoms of Parkinson's disease she began to experience were related to an overgrowth of candida in her body. Lidia explains how she drew this conclusion after conducting a systematic investigation of the research on Parkinson's and candida. Her symptoms resolved after getting a series of treatments for her candida. Robert Rodgers PhD from Parkinsons Recovery interviews Lidia Epp about her research discovery on the connection between candida and Parkinson's disease and her subsequent return to health and wellness. This interview was originally included as one of the chapters in Pioneers of Recovery published by Parkinsons Recovery. Lidia M. Epp is a molecular biologist and lives in the Virginia countryside with her husband. For over twenty years she has been employed by several universities, where she has participated in research projects dealing with the molecular aspects of disease detection and diagnosis. For ten of those twenty years she served as a research specialist in the clinical molecular diagnostics laboratory at the Medical College of Virginia. Currently, Lidia works at the Biology Department of the College of William and Mary, where she coordinates the activities of the departmental molecular core laboratory. In her spare time, she is an avid organic gardener. Lidia and her husband Bob enjoy spending time aboard their sailboat cruising the Chesapeake Bay. Robert Rodgers, PhD is the founder of Parkinsons Recovery which provides support, information and resources to persons who currently experience the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease.
