If you have food allergies or sensitivities, you’ll know that ensuring you consistently eat healthy balanced meals is very difficult.
Allergies and sensitivities to perfumes, chemicals, cigarettes, and other inhalents can turn any outting into a nightmare.
Breakspear Medical Group has been specialising in allergy and environmental medicine for over 25 years. We employ fully qualified doctors and nurses to ensure the best treatments are given.
The treatment of allergy, intolerance and sensitivity using the technique of
low-dose
immunotherapy
is one of Breakspear Medical Groups’s areas of expertise. The technique is entirely safe in our experienced hands, and employs intradermal skin tests and regular low-dose desensitisation treatment. To understand how the
low-dose immunotherapy antigen
vaccines work, click here.
The result of our
low-dose immunotherapy
is that many of our patients can eat and enjoy foods that previously caused them discomfort and be exposed to inhalants, which previously caused serious reactions.

After the patient’s initial consultation
with a doctor, specially trained nurses start allergy and sensitivity
testing and may advise on which substances to test, in the light
of the doctor's recommendations and treatment plan.
The time required
for allergy and sensitivity testing depends on the number of items tested and how sensitive
a patient is. Usually the broader the range of allergies and sensitivities covered,
the better the results. Patients will require varying amounts of
allergy/sensitivity testing time, as the programme provides individualised therapy.
We use a holistic approach to treatment and avoid drug therapy programmes where
possible. We carefully examine our patient’s diet, living and working environment, and life experiences to create recommendations to provide our patients with a better life. We provide dietary and nutritional supplementation recommendations formulated on an individual bases in addition to our allergy/sensitivity desensitisation programme.
We strive to help our patients build stronger immune systems, which will help them gain control of their allergies and sensitivities.
The antigen vaccines which are part of the allergy programme help to stabilise the responses
of the body when exposed to provoking foods, chemicals or inhalants,
and have no deleterious effects on thinking or concentrating abilities.
This is also the first-line treatment of allergy by members of
the American Academy of Otolaryngology (ear, nose & throat
doctors).
Breakspear Medical Group has been using this technique of
low-dose immunotherapy
for the treatment of allergies and sensitivities
for over two decades. Our staff is thoroughly trained in the testing
methods and we manufacture the allergy vaccines on site in our licensed
facilities.
All members of Breakspear’s medical team are trained as first responders in the unlikely event of a medical emergency. The clinic has all required emergency equipment and all clinical team members receive annual refresher training for essential emergency procedures including re-certification in CPR and use of the clinic’s Automatic External Defibrillator. It is also Breakspear Medical Group’s strict policy not to conduct any clinical procedures without the supervision of an appropriate physician.
