Allergy Testing and Treatment
Your allergy treatment plan is individualized based on your test results and may include avoidance of suspected allergens (common when treating food allergy), and/or environmental and lifestyle modifications. Some allergies can be controlled by nutritional supplements such as quercetin or the hormone cortisol. Many allergens such as dust, mold and pollen are unavoidable and often require specific treatment (immunotherapy), where small amounts of the offending allergen are given over a period of time, usually building up the body’s tolerance to that allergen. Immunotherapy is given the following way:LDA (low dose allergens), an enhanced low-dose enzyme-enhanced immunotherapy, an updated version of the European treatment EPD (Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization). This method works well for all types of allergies, sensitivities and intolerances to inhalants (dust, mites, molds, pollens, etc), foods, chemicals and bacteria. It is administered by intradermal injections which are given every two months to start and less frequently as tolerance is achieved.
