If an allergy is not detected and treated in time, it can lead to long-term consequences: neurodermatitis in children can develop into allergic rhinitis (hay fever) over the years and into allergic asthma at a later stage. This phenomenon is known as “allergic march” or “progression”. In order to curb this march, the underlying cause of allergy needs to be addressed. Micro-immunotherapy targets the root of the problem, as it directly addresses the immune system.

A cancer diagnosis is shocking news that unfortunately many people receive in their lifetime. However, one is not completely defenceless against cancer. Through an integrated, multimodal treatment programme, much can be done to work towards a cure or remission or gain more quality of life. Micro-immunotherapy is one of the cornerstones in cancer treatment, as it supports the immune system in the defence against cancer cells.

We have all experienced it: the day after being pricked with a rose or stepping on a rusty nail, the affected area starts to hurt, it gets thick, red and warm. These are all signs of inflammation. We know the same effect from the reddened nose during a cold and the swollen tonsils in sore throat. Inflammation, if very pronounced, may even come along with fever. It is a normal reaction of the body‘s own defence system aimed at protecting the organism from external disruptive factors (e.g. pathogens) and preventing tissue damage.

As the cold season draws closer, many of us suffer from frequent respiratory infections. A stuffy or runny nose, coughs, sore throat or fatigue are some of the annoying symptoms that keep coming back year after year. Even though we are permanently exposed to pathogens, autumn and winter’s low temperatures make it easier for some viruses to spread1. Yet, how is it that some people enjoy good health during the cold season and others do not? How can we actively prevent infections? It is all about keeping the immune system in shape!

Everybody has to deal with stress in life. Pressure to perform well, deadlines, combining work and family life, conflicts in relationships, severe disease, death of a family member, worries or anxiety about the future are some of the many daunting burdens to confront.

Micro-immunotherapy makes use of the same messengers as the immune system (e.g. cytokines, growth factors, hormones), which are given sublingually in low doses. These substances are responsible for the communication between the cells and other elements involved in immune responses.

More and more people are suffering from persistent and largely unexplained symptoms such as chronic malaise accompanied by fatigue, recurrent sore throat, partly swollen cervical (neck) lymph nodes, migratory joint and muscle pain and unexplained temperature spikes.
