LDA Therapy, Low Dose Allergen Immunotherapy

Low Dose Allergen, or LDA therapy, is a safe and effective immunotherapy used to treat food allergies, environmental allergies, and autoimmune conditions.  This is a safe option for children of any age as there are no side effects.

LDA treatment involves very low dose combinations of allergens along with an enzyme, beta-glucuronidase. The critical component of this enzyme is that it attracts specific white blood cells (T-regulator cells) involved in the immune response and makes them pay attention to the allergens included with the enzyme. This causes a down-regulation or calming of the reaction of the part of the immune system that was reacting to the allergens in the first place. In other words, LDA works to shut off the adverse or allergenic response and positively affect the immune system. This is also why it works well for most autoimmune conditions where the body is attacking itself.

How Does LDA therapy Differ from Conventional Allergy Treatments?

Conventional allergy medications work on blocking the histamine response, helping only when taken (and requiring patients to take medication indefinitely). Allergy shots and allergy drops work with the immune system to gradually build a tolerance to specific allergens. LDA treats multiple (over 300) foods or inhalant allergies in a single treatment. It also works for resetting the immune system’s response, rather than just working to build up a tolerance. It can also be used for more than just allergies because of how it works for resetting the immune system. LDA is less expensive and requires much less treatment – once every two months versus weekly allergy shots or daily allergy drops.  Positive results can be seen immediately, but plan on two to three shots per year for 3 years.

LDA Benefits Compared to Conventional Allergy Treatments:

  • Quick results (most patients see improvements within 1-3 treatments)
  • Long-lasting effects for a wide range of allergens
  • Less frequent treatments (once every 2 months initially, then less frequent)
  • Less expensive than conventional allergy therapy

Frequently Treated Conditions with LDA therapy:

  • Autoimmune Diseases: Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Lupus (SLE), Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Environmental Allergies, Asthma, Sinusitis
  • Food Allergies & Sensitivities
  • GI Issues: Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis
  • Lyme Disease
  • Skin Conditions: Dermatitis, Eczema, Psoriasis, Rosacea

What does LDA therapy involve?

During an office visit, we will determine if LDA is a suitable treatment for a patient and then put an order for a specific injection. Patients will get one injection every two months, with each treatment building on the next to restore natural immune tolerance. Gradually the interval between injections is extended until they are taken at yearly intervals. Most patients can either go a long time between injections or stop entirely after about 16 to 18 injections, with most patients noticing improvement within the first three doses.

What is MRT?
Mediator Release Testing (MRT) is the primary food sensitivity testing used when a person’s symptoms are caused by foods they are eating which causes a peripheral immunocyte response.

What does it do to me?
Improve the lives of tens of thousands of IBS, migraine, fibromyalgia, and other patients suffering the negative effects of diet-induced inflammation.

Why you need it now?
Your body must gain homeostasis (balance) in order to have the optimal metabolic results. This is a big detail missed by healthcare providers when assessing your health. It’s affordable.
