Our Approach
Allergies are the immune system’s adverse reaction to a foreign substance, treating it as a foe even if it’s not. The immune system is designed to produce antibodies that protect the body from harmful invaders, such as the flu virus, but allergic reactions happen when antibodies are sent to fight nonlethal substances (allergens) that are misidentified as lethal.
There are many types of allergies with varying degrees of severity; allergic reactions can be mere annoyances (sneezing) or they can be life-threatening (anaphylaxis). While they cannot be cured, they can be managed through treatment.
