Rapid Allergen Desensitization (RAD)

Rapid desensitization works well because it improves upon an already well-established treatment for allergies called immunotherapy, commonly known as "allergy shots." It is well accepted that immunotherapy works well for allergy sufferers, but it may take a patient up to six months of weekly injections before they experience any relief from their symptoms. This is often too long for many patients to endure. Many patients are simply not willing to make the long-term time commitment. As a result, many patients who could get relief from immunotherapy never receive it benefits.

However, with rapid desensitization, the effective shot dose can be achieved in the first day instead of several months. This is what makes this procedure so exciting. Research shows that this treatment is safe and effective, as well as quick.
