No other method of food allergy testing is nearly as successful. If symptoms develop, a weaker dilution is used until a neutralizing dose is found. Sublingual Allergy Testing is also utilized for inhalant, food and hormone sensitivities if the physician believes the individual patient would benefit from this technique. We have had significant success with our sublingual immunotherapy treatment. With sublingual immunotherapy, individualized treatment is prepared.
Patients merely have to place drops of the solution under their tongue daily.
Results are noted immediately. This approach to treating allergies, in contrast to allergy injections, is particularly beneficial because it results in fewer side effects, can be effective quite rapidly and does not require frequent medical visits to the physician's office for the injections. Not all physicians offer sublingual immunotherapy. This may be due in part to the fact that they are not aware of studies which have demonstrated its effectiveness. While more studies need to be conducted concerning both injection and sublingual immunotherapy, we are confident in being able to provide the sublingual treatment because of the consistent positive effects it has had on our patients.
