Comprehensive Allergy Testing
We provide extensive testing for IgE allergens and IgG food sensitivities, covering every single allergen available. Our thorough testing process includes:
- Skin Scratch Allergy Testing: Identifies specific environmental allergens affecting you.
- IgE Testing: Tests for immediate allergic reactions to environmental factors such as pollen, pet dander, and dust mites.
- IgG Food Sensitivity Testing: Evaluates delayed reactions to various foods, helping identify intolerances.
This comprehensive approach allows us to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.
What is Sublingual Immunotherapy?
Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) is a highly effective, non-invasive therapy for environmental and seasonal allergies. Supported by extensive research, SLIT is widely accepted and practiced.
How SLIT Works:
- Testing: First, you will undergo allergy testing conducted by our Naturopathic Doctor at Noble.
- Allergen Preparation: Following testing, allergen extracts are compounded into liquid drops through Quantum Allergy, tailored specifically for you.
- At-Home Administration: Patients administer daily drops under the tongue, following a prescribed dosing schedule.
Therapeutic Phases:
- Build-Up Phase: Gradually increasing doses of allergens are introduced once per day.
- Maintenance Phase: Once the effective maintenance dose is reached, you will continue this regimen, typically for three to five years, to develop lasting immunity.
Expected Outcomes:
- Easing of allergic symptoms often begins early in treatment, with significant improvement typically occurring after three months on the maintenance dose.
- Long-term treatment can lead to prolonged relief from allergic symptoms, often lasting 8-10 years after discontinuation.
Side Effects: While side effects such as mild itching or stomach issues can occur, they are rare and usually resolve with dosage adjustments. Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) are exceptionally rare.
