Immunotherapy, anyone have luck with it?

September 25, 2005

Hi Group,

Just had two trips to the emergency room with my six year old son

who has asthma on Thursday night and Friday morning and he is much

better now, I call them hell nights, had a few this spring.

I happened to talk to someone on Friday who said her daughter worked

in a radio station with mold and has been in poor health and had her

call me since she had found some improvement at an allergy center.

She has the same problems my son has and he was referred to this

place in LaCrosse WI and she says it has helped her greatly. She

has had the same story of going to doctors who want to put her on

anti-depressants because they think it is all in her head, but we

know better. I am afraid of immunotherapy because they give small

doses of the mold which I would think he gets everytime he steps

outside, especially this time of year.

This person who worked at the radio station was referred to LaCrosse

by a doctor who is in the same clinic as my son's doctor. I asked

him about it and he pooh poohed the approach and said it was too

experimental. He said the book I had of Mold Warriors was along the

same lines only to be corrected by me in that Dr.Shoemaker uses

things to clear mold and toxins out as opposed to immunotherapy

which puts molds in to desensitize the mold. The doctor then said

our best course is to just stay on steroids and maybe go to the

emergency room once a month and he may outgrow it enough later to be

an emergency room visit once every six months. I could not believe

my ears. That is not an acceptable life my my son, a life of

steroids and emergency room visits is not my definition of a life.

Could those who have seen Dr.Shoemaker please give some updates for

our forum?

Here is the LaCrosse link:

Anyone familiar with this?
