Low Dose Immunotherapy to Help Mom Conquer Allergies

May 9, 2024

Mother’s Day is a special occasion to honor the incredible women in our lives who nurture, love, and sacrifice to ensure the happiness and well-being of their families. While moms are adept at caring for everyone else, they often place their own health and self-care on the back burner. This Mother’s Day, we’re shining a light on a crucial aspect of health that often goes overlooked: successfully managing allergies.

The Silent Burden of Allergies

Allergies are more common than many people realize, affecting millions worldwide. Whether it’s seasonal allergies, food sensitivities, or reactions to environmental substances, the impact on daily life can be significant. Symptoms like sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, sinus infections, fatigue, skin issues such as eczema, and even more severe reactions, can make daily tasks challenging, affecting mom’s ability to care for her family and herself.

Common Allergy Symptoms

  • Fatigue
  • Frequent headaches
  • Sneezing, post nasal drainage or itching of the nose
  • Frequent “colds”
  • Recurrent or chronic sinus infections
  • Recurrent yeast infections, jock itch or athlete’s foot
  • Dizziness
  • Itching, watering, redness or swelling of the eyes
  • Dark circles under the eyes
  • Recurrent ear infections
  • Recurrent cough or bronchitis
  • Tightness in the chest, wheezing or asthma
  • Eczema, skin rashes, itching or hives
  • Indigestion, bloating, diarrhea or constipation

Moms Deserve the Best: Prioritizing Self-Care

This Mother’s Day, let’s encourage all moms to prioritize their health and well-being as diligently as they care for their loved ones. Self-care isn’t just about occasional indulgences; it’s about taking ongoing steps to ensure long-term health and happiness. For moms dealing with allergies, this means finding an effective way to minimize or even eliminate those allergy symptoms.

Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI)

Our innovative approach to managing allergies is Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI). This treatment is designed to help the immune system tolerate substances that previously caused allergic reactions. Unlike traditional treatments that merely suppress symptoms, LDI works to adjust the body’s immune response, potentially reducing or eliminating allergic reactions over time. We administer LDI sublingually (under the tongue), which means you can take your doses at home!

LDI Addresses Over 300 Allergens 

LDI is a unique therapy that has much broader effects, acts faster and is longer lasting than conventional allergy treatments. Rather than the 20–40 inhalant allergens in allergy drops and shots, LDI desensitizes you to more than 300 common airborne irritants, foods and chemicals.

How LDI Works

The allergens and chemical antigens in LDI are administered sublingually in one dose every 7 to 10 weeks. Subsequent doses are titrated with different dilutions, depending on your symptoms, and are continued for an average of 2 ½ years. After that, you may require a booster dose every 12–18 months, although some guests have complete resolution of their symptoms and do not need boosters.

Unlike conventional allergy shots and drops, which stimulate the production of antibodies that block the allergic response, LDI essentially resets your immune system. It activates immune cells called T-regulatory (Treg) cells that shut off excessive immune activity and inflammation characteristic of allergies and hypersensitivities. Tregs remain in your system for a fairly long time; half of them will still be active after 12–16 weeks. The more activated Treg cells in circulation, the longer the response lasts. There is also a cumulative effect, meaning that Tregs build up in your system, and your sensitivity to allergens decreases with each successive treatment.

LDI is Effective for Multiple Conditions

LDI can be used for the treatment of a broad range of allergies, sensitivities and related symptoms, including the following:

  • Respiratory: Hay fever, asthma, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, cough, ear infections and postnasal drip.
  • Skin: Eczema, hives and itchy skin.
  • Food: Immediate and delayed reactions to food allergens.

The success rate for symptom improvement with LDI is approximately 90%, and treatment failures are rare. Because of LDI’s positive effects on the immune system, many guests also experience improvements in headaches, mood disorders, behavior problems, digestive disorders, autoimmune diseases and more.

LDI’s Advantages Over Conventional Allergy Treatments  

Here’s a recap of all the advantages of low dose immunotherapy:

  • Broader coverage: LDI includes 300+ inhalant, food and chemical allergens, compared to 20–40 inhalant allergens in shots and drops.
  • 90% success rate: Treatment failures are rare, including in people who have had little success with other allergy treatments.
  • Faster results: Most people see improvements within the first three treatments, and many have reduced symptoms after the very first treatment.
  • More convenient: Less frequent treatments are required, once every 7–10 weeks for the first year, tapering down in subsequent years and often terminated after about two and a half years with no loss of protection. Sublingual preparations can be shipped to you and administered at home.
  • Exceptionally safe: No serious adverse effects have ever been reported.  It is so safe it has even been used to treat children younger than one year of age.
  • Less expensive: LDI is less expensive than years of weekly or biweekly allergy shots and daily allergy drops.

Making Time for Health

For all the multitasking superhero moms, making time for your own health is the ultimate act of self-care. This Mother’s Day, consider how treatments like Low Dose Immunotherapy can help you manage allergies more effectively, freeing up more time and energy to enjoy life to the fullest.

Motherhood involves incredible devotion, but it’s also important to remember that taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your family. This Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate by supporting the health and well-being of all the wonderful moms out there. After all, a healthy mom is a happy mom!

Encouraging moms to look after their health, especially in managing allergies, not only improves their quality of life but also sets a powerful example for their families about the importance of health and self-care. Let’s make this Mother’s Day the start of a healthier year for all the amazing mothers out there!
