We believe that in order to be WELL, we have to treat the CELL.  This means identifying common and not-so common culprits that slow down healthy cellular processes, and address these with a multimodal approach. 

The mitochondria are the powerhouses, or the POWERPLANT of each and every cell. When these powerhouses are overwhelmed or burdened or "inflammed", the entire cell slows down. We call this "aging" or "disease". We will work on restoring proper functioning and be able to treat and reverse multiple chronic conditions including:

• Allergy occurs when the immune system no longer tolerates the external environment

• Autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system no longer tolerates the internal environment of the body.

• LDA helps restore immune tolerance to the environment outside and inside the body.

Low Dose Allergy Immunotherapy (LDA) is a safe and effective procedure for relief of immune reactions including:

• Environmental Inhalant Allergies (Dog, Dust, Hay fever, Mold etc.) and Chemical Sensitivities (fragrance/perfumes etc)
• Food Allergies (IgE / non IgE)
• Food and Inhalant Related conditions
  • IBS, Inflammatory Bowel (Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis)
  • Other Colitis.
  • Autism Spectrum
  • ADHD Spectrum
  • Chronic Ear Infections, Tonsillitis
  • Dermatitis, Eczema, Psoriasis, Rosacea,Hives
  • Asthma, Pharyngitis, Rhinitis, Sinusitis, nasal polyps
  • Food triggered Headaches and Migraines.
• Auto Immune Diseases: Inflammatory Bowel, Inflammatory Arthritis, Reactive Arthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis, HLA-B27 or HLA-D+, ITP (immune thrombocytopenic purpura), Interstitial cystitis, Auto immune thyroiditis (Hashimotos), SLE (lupus).
• Other Conditions:

• Endometriosis
• Mast Cell disorder
• Chronic Fatigue, CFIDS, CFS or ME (Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome)
• Fibromyalgia
• Lyme disease
• Chronic Joint and Muscle Pain

WHAT IS LDA?

LDA is a method of restoring immune regulation using combinations of a very large variety of extremely low dose allergens (1 part in 10 million to 1 part in 1 quadrillion). This ultra low-dose mixture of antigens is given with a minute dose of beta glucuronidase. 

Beta glucuronidase is an immune modulator found in all of our cells. 

Together this combination stimulates production of activated T-regulator cells, which then "turn off" T-helper cells that are mistakenly causing the body to overreact to normal substances. LDA treatment works differently than classic immunotherapy. Classic immunotherapy is largely antibody-mediated, while LDA is cell-mediated, mostly acting on immune regulating T cells.

LDA includes mixtures of over 300 allergens that act "universally". Patients who have extensive allergies causing a wide diversity of symptoms usually respond favorably to the treatment. The LDA mixtures include pollens, animal danders, dust and dust mites, fungi, Candida, molds, foods, food additives, perfumes and common chemicals (not pesticides and herbicides).

LDA is administered by injection into the forearm immediately after mixing at the doctor's office. A total volume 0.05 ml is injected, which feels like a bee sting for less than a minute. There may be anywhere from 1-3 injections each visit depending on the complexity of the allergies and sensitivities of the patient. 

Following the injection there may be an area of redness and swelling at the injection site that resolves fairly quickly, but sometimes lasts for a day or more. This is not harmful and can actually be a good sign that the injection "took".

LDA treatments need only be given every 2 months at first and gradually less often. Generally patients are treated every 2 months about 6-8 times. After that, treatments usually decrease to every 3-6 months and gradually less frequently until no longer needed.  Occasionally some patients may return a few years later for a few injections. 

 LDA injections cannot be given more often than every 7-8 weeks. When a favorable response has been well-established, generally between the sixth to eighth dose (fewer doses in children), the frequency of treatment for most conditions can usually be decreased to between 2-4 times per year.
