Immunotherapy for Allergies

This content will discuss the use of immunotherapy to fight the disease state known as allergies.

More than 40 percent of adults & 30 percent of children have allergies.

Do I need to be an Allergist?

No. AllergyFree is designed for clinicians of all specialties who see patients suffering from inhalant allergies, but do not have thee proper tools to do anything about it, including:

• Family Practice
• General Practice
• Functional Medicine
• Urgent Care
• Osteopathic
• OBGYN
• Pediatrics  
• Dermatology
• Gastroenterology

Providing Options

Most patients, and even clinicians, are unaware that there are options for treating their allergies.  While subcutaneous (shots) is widely used by allergists, its reported issues has lead to the development and increasing use of sublingual.

Sublingual

Allergy drops are the preferred method of immunotherapy in Europe and have proven to be the safer and more effective immunotherapy solution (no recorded fatalities in the world).

Allergy Drops are considered “off label” use of FDA approved antigens and can be prescribed by any clinician with prescription writing licenses.

In a nutshell, micro-dosing prescription strength sublingual drops used under the tongue daily allows antigen extracts to slowly be absorbed through specialized cells into the blood stream. This exposure helps the immune system increase tolerance to the proteins that would normally trigger your allergic reaction. Each 30-day dropper contains doses that increase in quantity and concentration weekly until “Maintenance Dose” is reached at 5 months and is continued for the rest of the year.

At the end of the year, another testing is provided to compare to the testing results from the previous year. If the test results come back as negative and the patient is no longer symptomatic, then you have safely and effectively “eliminated” the patient’s inhalant allergies…making them AllergyFree!

Subcutaneous

Allergy shots are a common form of immunotherapy in the United States because it is reimbursed by insurance carriers to doctors (cha-ching). Although allergy shots are covered by insurance carriers, patients only have a 25% compliance because it still costs money and time to go back to the doctor’s office for weekly shot visits.

Allergy shots were outlawed in Great Britain in 1985 due to the high risk/low value ratio risk associated with shots. Specifically, allergy shots have been linked with deadly anaphylaxis.

Additionally, there is a limit to the number of antigens that can be put into the patient-specific immunotherapy shot – which means the coverage is not as comprehensive as the proprietary universal vaccine formulation found in AllergyFree drops. This also means allergy shots are limited to one of nine regions in the US, and if your patient travels for work, it makes it really tough to keep them compliant with their therapy.

Allergy shots are “prescription only” meaning that doctors will send their test results to a pharmacy which will prepare and send to the doctor’s office for mixing. This allows doctors to administer allergy shots in their offices.
