  Allergy Desensitization Technique
  From a medical perspective, an allergy is an overreaction by the immune system. This heightened sensitivity to the allergic substance (allergens) in the allergic person is viewed as a threat to the body's well-being. Sensitivities can include foods, vitamins, toxins, pollens, solvents, fabrics, animal dander, plants and trees, insect bites, pollutants, building materials, bacteria / viruses, actually anything can be suspect and therefore testable. When left untreated, allergies and their emotional charge may appear in the form of an illness, pain, inflammation, fever and various physical, physiological and psychological discomforts.
  Methods for Treatment of Sensitivities
  The standard treatment of a body's sensitivities or allergies is drug therapy using either antihistamines or steroids to control allergic symptoms. The most effective treatment option until now has been complete avoidance of the offending allergen(s). This can be difficult and in some cases impossible.
  As an alternative approach, Dr. Hoover uses an Allergy Desensitization Technique that is non-invasive, drug free, natural solution to minimize your allergic response. One allergen is treated at a time – often your sensitivity to an allergen can be addressed in less than 15 minutes. The doctor will identify the sensitivity to a particular substance(s) kinesiologically, and then reprogram the body to reduce and relieve your symptoms. While no technique may completely address your allergic response, this procedure when paired with the "Home Run Formula" is particularly powerful in reducing the "emotional charge" often accompanying the severe allergic response (e.g., anaphylactic response).
