A member asked:
Are there any allergy sufferers who have been truly cured by immunotherapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The allergy cure: Appropriately utilized immunotherapy (allergy injections) can significantly modify the immature immune response that causes ige antibody production to inhaled proteins. In 3/4 of patients on high dose immunotherapy for 3-5 years they can be discontinued with little or no recurrence of symptoms or medication requirements.
