Local Ojai, California area allergy relief is within your reach. Robin A. Bernhoft, M.D.‘s Low Dose Allergen Therapy protocol has helped hundreds of California patients beat their reactions and live healthy and active lifestyles.
Whether it’s something in the air or something in your food, allergies can drastically alter your lifestyle and, in some cases, the lifestyles of those around you as well. So what are allergies? Simply put, an allergy is a response to an allergen. One person’s body may not have a problem with a certain substance, however, an entirely different person’s immune system may declare the same substance as potentially hazardous.
When the immune system kicks in, it will create antibodies that trigger the production and release of histamines. These histamines are what cause the bodily reactions, the teary-eyes, runny nose, coughing, that which attempts to rid your body of its invaders.
Robin A. Bernhoft, M.D. provides Low Dose Antigen Therapy, or LDA, to help patients with multiple allergies and symptoms related to autoimmune distresses. While allergy medications and other therapies may provide relief from the symptoms of their triggers, LDA Therapy targets the root cause: the imbalanced cells. Robin A. Bernhoft, M.D. will help regulate these cells, rebalancing the immune system without compromising immunities that are working correctly.

Low Dose Antigen Therapy for Allergies
Low Dose Antigen Therapy, or LDA is a customized treatment option for patients suffering from mild to severe allergies.
LDA combines small samples of the allergens (in doses that do not cause severe side effects) that are affecting an individual with an enzyme called beta-glucuronidase, which stimulates the immunologic response that reduces the body’s reactions to allergens.
This therapy stimulates an increase in the T-regulator cells, which are the regulatory cells that suppress immune responses, in other words: preventing your immune system from attacking benign intruders.
With Robin A. Bernhoft, M.D.‘s help, Ojai, California patients are discovering customized LDA therapy to help their bodies rebalance their immune response and are living their best symptom-free lives.

What are the risk factors for allergies?
When it comes to the risk factors for allergies, there are host factors and environmental factors.
The host factors for certain allergies are sex, ethnicity, age, and the most telling, family history.
Environmental factors are where and how a person lives. These include:
- exercise and diet
- geography
- preexisting conditions
- heavy metal exposure
- exposure to certain illnesses
- alcohol consumption
- smoke exposure (especially during childhood)
Complications of Allergies
Unresolved allergies can lead to increased health risks that may present an immediate danger, such as anaphylaxis (a severe and sometimes life-threatening reaction), ear and lung infections, and fungal infections, to name a few.
Allergies left untreated may also cause long term complications, such as a higher risk for developing asthma, and decreased immune responses that would fight off infections or illness. Allergies may also become worse with time.
