Allergies are often a sign of immune imbalance, and lasting relief may require more than symptom suppression by addressing inflammation, gut health, toxic burden, and the body’s histamine response.
Skin and blood tests are utilized to check for IgE-mediated allergies. A Functional Medicine doctor will also test for IgG and IgA-mediated more subtle allergies. Although antihistamines and steroids can give immediate symptomatic relief, they would not enhance immune function and can indeed weaken the immune system.
Our approach is to strengthen your immune system by healing leaky gut syndrome, removing heavy metals, and using vitamin drips such as the Myers’ Cocktail, Glutathione, and IV Vitality. Myers’ Cocktail has magnesium, which will relieve constricted airways in the lungs.
High-dose vitamin C in the Vitality drip will reduce histamine release and make histamine break down faster once it is released. (Vitamin C deficiency can increase blood levels of histamine). N-Acetyl Cysteine is also utilized to stabilize mast cells.
