The medical director of the Allergy and Asthma Clinic in San Mateo, California, since 1987, Dr. Andrew Engler is experienced in treating asthma, allergies, and other related conditions. A member of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, Dr. Andrew Engler keeps up to date with the current trends and research in immunotherapy. Immunotherapy involves treating allergic diseases by activating or suppressing the body's immune system
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology has released new research showing that patients who suffer from multiple food allergies can combine treatments to create a single oral immunotherapy course. Traditionally, patients with multiple food allergies cycle through treatments, each one dealing with a different allergy. As part of the study, patients were given treatments that on average combined 2.4 different food allergens.
The study concluded that while there were no significant differences in the safety or effectiveness of either treatment, the multi-food approach allowed treatments to be administered more quickly and efficiently, and was more flexible, giving patients with multiple allergies more options about their treatment plans.
