Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is an effective way of modifying or avoiding disease by influencing the immune system. It is essentially a reinforcement of the body's own defence mechanisms. In Allergy Immunotherapy (Also known as specific or desensitization therapy) the mechanism is regarded as a correction of the immune system towards the way in which a no-allergic person would deal with the allergen.
Allergy Immunotherapy attacks the underlying cause of the problem and provides a patient benefit wich is usually long lasting. Immunotherapy is generally applied in multiple gradually increasing doses, most frequently as injections under the skin. Oral vaccines are also produced.
