What is oral desensitization?
Research has shown that similar results can be accomplished by desensitizing with oral drops of serum under the tongue (i.e. sublingually) rather than using shots (see page 4). This decreases costs and increases convenience for the client. In addition, it’s much safer because there is virtually no risk of an anaphylactic reaction. After an initial visit with the doctor, skin testing is performed to establish what you are allergic to. Routine allergy testing stops there, but never tells how allergic you are to each particular allergen. In other words, how strongly do you react to each different pollen? Our method of testing is much more revealing than the conventional approach of just a positive or negative result. By having a measure of the degree of your allergic response to each antigen (known as “end-point titration”), we’re able to choose an appropriate concentration of each allergen to mix into the serum. This is what allows us to use the oral drops effectively. Our testing takes
