Desensitization helps you live more comfortable and safely with your allergy or sensitivity. It takes about 45 minutes using the Miller method of rapid oral dosing with a homeopathic series of preparations of the substances. The preparations are made in-house from the testing materials. The drops under the tongue carry increasing amounts of the allergen challenge into the bloodstream to safely condition the body to tolerate that substance.
There has never been a harsh reaction to this procedure. Up to three reactors can be treated in one visit. Avoid the allergens strictly for at least 2 days after desensitization. Take as few medications as possible. Children usually take one treatment, and adults sometimes need two treatments to achieve a comfortable tolerance in about 80% of cases. Booster treatments are recommended as needed and at one year from the first. Many treatments are durable for years.
The fees are partly reimbursed by extended health care plans, and are income tax deductible.
