What’s different about our allergy treatment? First, we desensitize you to the allergens to which you are having a reaction. Secondly, we use sublingual allergy drops.
Over 50 million Americans suffer from allergies and the number is growing. Asthma accounts for approximately 10.1 million missed work days for adults annually. Allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic disease in the United States, costing the health care system $18 billion annually.
Allergies can emerge at any age and are especially likely to develop during times of stress, when your body's defenses are lowered, such as after a viral infection, during puberty, during or after pregnancy, after a severe injury or following emotional loss. Allergies can cause a wide variety of symptoms ranging from recurrent sinus infections and skin disorders like eczema to asthma and migraine headaches. If you can track your symptoms on the seasonal calendar you may be one of the many suffering from allergies.
Many allergy patients manage their illnesses with antihistamines, which only mask the symptoms and cause a host of side effects some of which include fatigue, drowsiness, nausea, headaches, and skin rashes. Some choose to deal with symptoms and leave their allergies untreated. Due to the amount of inflammation and stress placed on the body and your immune system from untreated allergies, if you choose to not treat your allergies, your risk for serious illness is increased. Others are treating their allergies with injections.
Our approach to treating your allergies begins with testing to determine the proper dose of the allergen with which to begin treatment - a dose strong enough to produce allergy-blocking antibodies, but not so strong as to cause a full-blown reaction. By treating you with the very allergens to which you react, antibodies are developed which will help block the allergy reaction. This allergy treatment is similar to an immunization, and desensitizes you to the allergens.
Once we have established the dose, we treat with sublingual allergy drops. That's right! There is no longer a need to get allergy shots. Not only do you no longer have to drive to the doctor's office for the weekly allergy shots, but you can just simply put a few drops under your tongue at indicated times during the day and you are finished! Sublingual allergy drops are safe, effective allergy desensitization treatments that are widely used in Europe. In fact, sublingual allergy drops are the only method used in Great Britain. The World Health Organization recognizes sublingual allergy drops as a viable alternative to injections. Allergy drops have little to no significant adverse reactions in comparison to injections which frequently lead to reactions, even some that are fatal.
We have chosen to use sublingual allergy drops at Hotze Health & Wellness Center for one simple reason: they work. Not only are they a safe and convenient treatment, sublingual allergy drops deliver the results that you have been looking for in the elimination of your allergies.
