Extensive functional assessment for allergy and sensitivity conditions through Precision Medicine, NAET®, and Functional & Integrative approaches.
Allergies: Symptoms, Triggers, and Our Approach
Allergies are an abnormal reaction by a person's immune system to a certain substance that does not cause any reaction in others. The human body produces antibodies, and when a person has allergies the body's immune system identifies a normally nontoxic substance as a harmful invader and reacts accordingly.
The reactions can vary from mild itchiness and rash to life-threatening anaphylactic shock. There are many different types of allergens and each can cause a reaction in its own way. The type of reaction that occurs depends on the substance and the manner it was introduced to the body.
Types of Allergic Reactions
Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever)
Can cause an itchy, runny nose; sneezing; and watery, red eyes.
Shellfish / Contact Allergies
Touching may cause blisters; consuming can cause airway swelling requiring emergency treatment or EpiPen.
Food Allergies
Immediate tingling of lips and mouth; swelling around eyes, lips, and tongue; hives; and possibly anaphylaxis.
Insect Sting Allergies
Large swelling at sting site, itching, hives, coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, and potentially anaphylaxis.
Drug Allergies
Typical allergy signs and symptoms; can be fatal if not caught and given proper medical attention in time.
Anaphylaxis: A Medical Emergency
Anaphylaxis, the worst reaction to an allergy, can cause a person to go into shock. If not treated immediately, anaphylaxis can lead to death.
Ways to Avoid an Allergic Reaction
Keeping a journal can make all the difference in learning as much as possible about what sets off a reaction.
Allergy Management Options
Our clinic offers multiple advanced approaches to identify and treat allergies at their root cause.
Precision Medicine
Advanced diagnostic testing to identify the exact allergens and immune pathways involved in your reactions.
Functional & Integrative Medicine
Root-cause approach to strengthen immune tolerance and reduce overall allergic burden.
ALCAT Food Sensitivity Testing
Comprehensive testing to identify food sensitivities that may be contributing to chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction.
NAET® (Allergy Elimination Technique)
Non-invasive technique that uses acupressure and energy balancing to retrain the body's response to allergens.
