Our Inspiration:
Tale Of The Little Girl
Because a little girl almost died of allergy medication (steroid) side effects (see non-profit website macisteams.org) (see link to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article: http://www.post-gazette.com/news/health/2015/01/26/Study-indicates-use-of-nasal-steroids-can-stunt-growth-in-children/stories/201501230204 ).
Tale of The Little Tablet
The FDA approved a new tablet that made it easy to treat children with medication-sparing, all-natural allergen immunotherapy in the comfort and convenience of home (rather than allergy shots in the office) (see link to New York Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/06/business/treating-allergies-with-pills-or-drops-instead-of-shots.html).
Our Goals:
Reduce or eliminate the need to use side effect-producing nasal and inhaled corticosteroids to control symptoms of environmental allergy and asthma through the use of preventative, customized, non-steroidal allergen immunotherapy, which can now be received with convenience and comfort at home.
Increase the convenience of diagnostic testing for environmental and food allergies.
