CANADIAN, Texas, July 7 /PRNewswire/ — Research presented at this year’s annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology has shown that sublingual immunotherapy, or placing drops under the tongue, can be a highly effective approach to administering allergy medications and is safe and effective in children under 5.
A group of Italian researchers found that over a 3-year study period, a significant reduction in nasal obstruction, itching and cough, and a decreased need for symptom-relief medications in patients treated with sublingual immunotherapy compared with those treated with standard medications for allergic rhinitis and asthma.
“The clinical efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy has been previously established in pollen, but not dust-mite allergy,” said lead author Carlo Lombardi, M.D., citing the results of the extensive research project.
Another unrelated Italian research group found sublingual immunotherapy to be safe and effective in children younger than 5 years — a group considered ideal for early allergy intervention, according to Italian researchers.
“Immunotherapy has been shown to prevent the onset of asthma in allergic patients…Therefore, children are optimal candidates,” said Giovanni Passalacqua, M.D., professor of allergy and immunology at the University of Genoa, Italy.
He said concerns about the safety of subcutaneously administered allergy immunotherapy in children make the prospect of sublingual administration particularly appealing.
“Subcutaneous immunotherapy injections can provoke systemic urticaria, angioedema, asthma, or even anaphylaxis — all of which are more difficult to manage in children, compared with adults,” he explained.
The Italian studies confirm what homeopathic medicine has long recognized, which is that administering immunotherapy treatments for allergies using drops under the tongue can be highly effective and safer than other approaches.
All of this is good news for Dr. Abraham’s Allernon, the fastest growing sublingual homeopathic allergy relief product on the market.
Dr. Abraham’s Allernon uses a homeopathic immunotherapy approach to treating a broad range of allergies. The basic Allernon formula incorporates a combination of weed, trees, and grass pollens, molds, household dusts, and bacteria that have been shown to cause upper respiratory infections. Through the use of drops under the tongue (sublingual administration) Allernon introduces minute amounts of allergens and bacteria into the body that stimulate the immune system to build natural defenses against attacks by allergens and bacteria. The immune system then develops antibodies that help desensitize the body from allergens and bacteria. The fending off of allergens and bacteria allows the body to function higher on an overall level because it is not fighting off sickness.
A graduate of Southwestern Medical School, Malouf Abraham, M.D. received a Commendation with the Strategic Air Command Force for running an Allergy Clinic that treated returning soldiers from Vietnam and their dependents. After serving his country he returned to his hometown of Canadian, Texas and built one of the largest practices in the Texas, treating over 45,000 people and becoming one of the most trusted M.D.’s in West Texas. For over thirty years Dr. Abraham further refined his treatments by using minute amounts of substances that seemed to be root causes of certain allergies and maladies in his patients.
In 2003, Dr. Abraham began working closely with one of the top FDA approved homeopathic laboratories in the United States to create a line of health products based on his many years of experience treating patients with severe allergies and upper respiratory illnesses. His concern for the high medical costs that families face today and his belief that he could make a positive difference in their quality of life led Dr. Abraham to release his Dr. Abraham’s Allernon and Dr. Abraham’s Immuna-Flu into retail stores in 2004.
Dr. Abraham’s Allernon is now one of the top selling products in the West Texas area and is now available at pharmacies supermarkets, and health food stores throughout the Southwest United States.
