Have you had success with alternative allergy treatments?
I have tried two holistic allergy treatments: NAET supposedly cures you of each individual allergy by treating your body to tolerate it. Another treatment I participated in involved taking supplements to cure your body of whatever illness caused you to have allergies. I saw limited success, and went through these treatments for a combined 9 months. Should I still be patient?

When i was younger i had really bad asthma, and I was allergic to everything, cats, dogs, trees, grass etc. a couple years ago i started seeing a great doctor who is on the asthma board at yale. He set me up with allergy shots to build up my tolerance. It took over a year for me to start seeing a significant difference. Long story short, I still have asthma and allergies but they are much more controlled. Combined with an overr the counter allergy medication it can be very helpful. I would suggest sticking with it, but make sure your doctor is good and accredited with something. The doctor can make all the difference, and do not be afraid to voice your concerns to him/her.
I dont think nih knows what you mean by exposure. When you treat your body for allergens you are not sitting in a room with cats (if thats what you are allergic too). You get shots with a dose depending on your resistance to the allergen and you build an build a higher tolerance for that allergen. This makes you less likely to suffer an allergy attack from the allergen. Its like a vaccine. When receiving a vaccine you are actually injected with a very weak form of whatever it is, say the flu, so your body can build an immunity to it and so you wont get it in the future. When you get a vaccine you are not more likely to get that illness…
