As more people are affected by food and environmental allergies, the need for disease modifying treatment that does more than temporarily relieve symptoms becomes increasingly important. Immunotherapy, the only disease modifying treatment, is expected to grow through both injection immunotherapy and sublingual immunotherapy in coming years.

Sublingual immunotherapy, commonly referred to as allergy drops, is expected to rise to the challenge as a highly effective, safe, easy to administer, and affordable treatment approach that offers hope to a wider array of allergy sufferers. For more than 40 years, Allergychoices’ founders have been at the forefront of this treatment approach, and are widely recognized for helping hundreds of physicians from around the country safely and effectively integrate this approach into their clinical practices. Our Medical Advisor, Dr. Mary Morris, and Allergychoices physician clients have been interviewed about allergy drops and featured in publications and media outlets including National Geographic Adventure, Family Circle, Parenting, Prevention, Women's Health, Allergymoms.com, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Providence Journal, Atlanta Journal Constitution, St. Paul Pioneer Press, WCCO-TV of Minneapolis-St.Paul, and WGN-Chicago, among others.
