Low Dose Allergen (LDA) immunotherapy, sometimes called ultra-low dose activated immunotherapy, is a method of treating allergies and allergic related diseases.
It uses a method or low dose allergens enhanced by a minute dose of the enzyme, beta-glucuronidase. The beta-glucuronidase stimulates the production of T-suppressor cells. These cells actively “switch off” helper cells that are erroneously causing patients to be ill my misidentifying normal substances in the body to be allergens. T-cells may live for long periods in the bloodstream, so LDA needs to be administered only every 2 months at first and then less often as time passes. The injections are given with very tiny intradermal needles on the inner aspect of the forearm.
LDA is used to treat all types of allergy, sensitivity, and intolerance to inhalants (pollens, dust, mites, danders, etc.), foods and chemicals. It is used to treat such conditions as seasonal and perennial hay fever, asthma, all types of food allergy and many other medical conditions including a number of autoimmune diseases (see detailed list below).
Below is a list of problems that can be treated with LDA immunotherapy. The list is a fairly complete compilation of conditions that have been shown to respond and improve with LDA therapy.

Perennial allergies (year around runny nose, nasal congestion)
Nasal polyps
Allergic conjunctivitis
Asthma
Chronic sinusitis

Other treatments may be needed in conjunction with LDA to achieve the best results. Low dose allergen (LDA) immunotherapy may be the ONLY way to permanently resolve your food, inhaled or chemical allergies forever!
