There's no reason for you to be allergic to things. The way we treat allergies today, with antihistamines and nasal spray doesn't solve the underlying problem; it just tries to cover it up. Accessible allergy immunotherapy is the future. And in the future, taking antihistamines for allergies is going to seem like taking a painkiller for an ear infection. Why would you treat the symptoms when you could treat the root cause?
Feedback on your website: you could make it more clear that you are not targeting food allergies. The info is there, but it's hard to find. Related: if you can ever figure out a way to eliminate food allergies, I, and many others, would send you a nontrivial percentage of my monthly income for life.
Wow, very cool! We're doing SLIT for my toddler's food allergies right now, and I agree a lot more people should be doing it. It's a huge pain dealing with the doctor for updosing and getting bottles, super inefficient and frustrating like everything else in medicine these days, so if you can fix that you're a hero to me.
I've concluded from recent research that SLIT is clearly far more effective and safer when started super early, ideally before age 3 and even before 1 if possible. And with so many kids having life-threatening food allergies these days, that seems like a big opportunity both from a business perspective and a helping people perspective. What are your barriers to offering treatment for food allergies, and to very young children?
We don't treat food allergies because there's no consensus on how to effectively treat food allergies through remote medicine.
I defer to my cofounder, Dr. Manan Shah, on our medical practices. My understanding is we follow the clinical guidelines to follow the standard of care established by state medical boards and the professional academies.
Also, medicine is slow to adapt to new standards, usually. The risk of a hastily adopted new standard can be life or death, literally. The industry, and us too, veer toward caution.
Wow this is very interesting. I suffer every spring due to pollen and I grew allergic to cats in adulthood which has been a shame. I've been contemplating the allergy shots for years, but it seemed like an annoying process for something with seemingly mixed results. I'll have to take a serious look at this, it could be actually life changing.
