Immunotherapy for food allergies involves administering small, gradually increasing doses of the allergen orally to retrain the immune system.

“as peanut allergy but given that it is for immunotherapy like we said you give small amounts of that specific allergen back to the patient whether or not it be a shot for environmental allergies or whether not it be orally for a food allergy you give it back in small amounts you start with a small spec that you can hardly see and then you increase that dose by 25% every two weeks but you're giving it every day and then you increase it step by step every two weeks you increase the dose but you're giving it daily”

“what you do in immunotherapy at the very basic level is give the person back the very same thing that they're allergic to”

“now luckily with therapy there's a way to retrain your immune system but that takes regular interaction with the food every day not every week if you take it every week it actually boosts your immune system to become more allergic take it every day so there's something to the Circadian rhythm and the dial cycle which we haven't talked about this yet but what I love about the immune system is it can be trained and you just need to know how to train it and you can train it away from becoming allergic and and train it into becoming more protective”

“you give it back in small amounts you start with a small spec that you can hardly see and then you increase that dose by 25% every two weeks but you're giving it every day and then you increase it step by step every two weeks you increase the dose but you're giving it daily and you want to do that in a doctor's office”
