Well, Doc, I don't know what to say to that except that SRT has worked very well for me and my entire family. I used to be sick with allergies of one sort or another 9 months out of the year. That was in spite of getting allergy shots every 2 weeks for over a dozen years. 10 years after I gave up on that, I took Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization treatments, which gave me about 75% relief. About 5 years later I started on sporadic SRT treatments. Now I hardly ever have any problems with allergies and when I do, it only lasts a couple days as opposed to months.
Elimination/avoidance is fine if you are only allergic to a couple things, but if you have hives like the OP is talking about, you are allergic to life!
Traditional allergy shots are a hoax and only "treat" what you've been tested for.
Have you ever tried SRT?
