A sensitivity or inappropriate reaction can trigger symptoms in any organ system of the body. While certain systems are more likely to react to specific families of allergens or substances—such as the respiratory system reaction to pollen— any substance can potentially affect any organ system, leading to a wide range of symptoms that vary from person to person. For instance, a reaction to wheat may cause hives in one individual, digestive issues in another, and fatigue, wheezing or acid reflux in others. We target the specific organ systems affected by the allergen or offending substance.

What Can We Treat?

  • Digestive System

    Symptoms include reflux, heartburn, abdominal and intestinal pain, cramping, gas, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. These symptoms are primarily caused by reactions to food or other ingestants.

  • Respiratory System

    Symptoms include sneezing, congestion, runny nose, wheezing, shortness of breath, coughs, postnasal drip, skin conditions, rashes, and itchy, watery eyes. Reactions may be associated with pollens, dust, food, chemicals, animals (including dog and cat dander and bird feathers), airborne substances, and contactants.

  • Tiredness and Fatigue

    Many reactions result in lethargy and feelings of fatigue. Tiredness can also occur at certain times of the day, such as in the afternoon after eating.

  • Headaches and Migraines

    These may be caused by reactions to food, such as chocolate and caffeine, airborne irritants like pollens, and chemicals including household cleaners, perfumes and vehicle fumes.

  • Dermatological

    Symptoms may include red, itchy, or scaly skin rashes, blisters with oozing and crusting, dry leathery patches, or hives. The main cause of dermatological reactions can be a reaction to food, but they can also be caused by plants, contactants, and chemicals. Skin conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis, and hives are commonly associated with the symptoms of an allergy or sensitivity.

  • Multiple Systems

    Symptoms may affect multiple systems in the body, resulting in headaches, irritability, hyperactivity, mood swings, fatigue, tachycardia, or inflammation.

  • General

    Chemicals— household cleaners, perfumes, building materials, washing detergent, pesticides

    Occupational sensitivities such as latex or building materials such as paints, glues, carpets, woods or varnishes

    Animals

    Heat, cold and humidity/dampness
