Low Dose Immunotherapy: Bringing Back a Healthy Life
W
hat happens when our immune system cannot tolerate what exists in our environment, whether it is externally in our surroundings or internally within our bodies? We begin to develop symptoms, ranging from sneezing, to difficulty breathing, to chronic fatigue and pain. Whether the symptoms are acute or chronic they affect our daily lives, and, at times, can persist for a number of years and become debilitating. For some, prescriptive medications and herbal therapies have offered some relief, however, may not have provided people with the long-term relief they need where they are not constantly taking medications on a daily basis. Low dose immunotherapy is the solution. Low dose immunotherapy (LDI) is a form of immunotherapy that consists of dilute solutions of antigens enhanced by a small amount of beta glucuronidase. LDI stimulates T regulatory cells while suppressing other types of T cells that are on overdrive and causing symptoms that an individual is experiencing. This form of immunotherapy is ultimately restoring immune tolerance and alleviating symptoms that a patient is experiencing.

Natural Nutmeg - January/February 2021
Low dose immunotherapy has been used very successfully since the ‘60s for treating multiple conditions, including autoimmune disorders, Lyme and co-infections, autism, PANDAS, gastrointestinal conditions, food and environmental allergies, skin conditions and more. The dose prescribed for an individual is very specific and varies from person to person and is administered sublingually. Once a dose is found to provide a relief in symptoms it is given every 7 weeks. Symptoms decrease gradually over time, and dosing becomes every few months, then every year. Eventually a patient is no longer in need of it. If a patient experiences any symptoms prior to 7 weeks, a lower dose can be given to help alleviate their symptoms prior to 7 weeks. Low dose immunotherapy is a safe and effective treatment that centers on re-establishing the health of an individual and bringing back a true quality of life. Dr. Veena Verma-Dzik, ND, FIAMA, is a board-certified Naturopathic Physician and certified medical acupuncturist who is highly experienced in treating acute and chronic health conditions. Her specialties include Lyme disease, women’s health, ADD/ ADHD, GI conditions, mood imbalances, allergies, and fatigue. Each patient she sees receives personalized, individual care involving research-based treatments and therapies from her own clinical experience and success. The therapies she prescribes include herbal medicine, nutritional therapeutics, homeopathic medicine, low dose immunotherapy, and acupuncture. She works collaboratively with practitioners and therapists in her office at Insight Counseling in Ridgefield, CT. Vicki Sara Blumberg, M.D., is board certified in Internal Medicine and has over 35 years of experience. She practices Low Dose Immunotherapy, which induces immune tolerance to the allergens or microbial invaders which each individual person may be inappropriately overreacting to. This eliminates symptoms using the body’s own mechanisms of healing, successfully treating allergic, autoimmune, and other chronic diseases such as Lyme disease. 203.431.9726 email:info@insightcounselingllc.com, website:insightcounselingllc.com.
