What is an allergy?

An allergy by definition is the body's inappropriate reaction to an otherwise harmless substance. Your body sees an ordinary substance as foreign and attacks it, sending you into an allergic reaction (red, itchy eyes, a scratchy throat, trouble breathing etc)

What is the LZR-7 and what does it do?

LZR7 combines the best of the 3,000 year old principles of Eastern medicine (acupuncture), the latest western knowledge in human biology and physiology with 21 century computer soft ware and laser technology to eliminate the bodies inappropriate reaction to otherwise harmless substances and thereby eliminating the symptoms caused by: Pet Allergies (cats, dogs, horses, and rabbits)
Environmental Allergies (mold, mildew, dust, perfumes, metals, pollutants and chemicals)
Seasonal Allergies (grasses, trees, plants, pollen, etc.)
Food Allergies (dairy, wheat, sugar, fruits, nuts, etc.)
Skin conditions (Eczema, psoriasis, rashes)

Can the LZR7 really eliminate all types of allergies?

Yes! Through a process called Immune Conditioning the LZR7 re-educates the immune system and eliminates the bodies inappropriate (allergic) reactions to all types of allergens.

Are there any side effects?

No long term side effects have been reported. A small percentage of patients report slight flushing or congestion for a short time (one hour or so) after their session, but this is actually a sign that the body is detoxifying (a good thing). This process is safe, fast, non-invasive, and painless.

Is this therapy safe for children?

Yes! It is safe for people of all ages

How long is a typical doctors appointment?

A typical Doctors appointment following the initial consultation visit will take an average of about 15-20 minutes.

How many visits does typical treatment require?

This therapy typically consists of 12 treatments. One or two additional treatments may be required in an especially difficult case. (This is a big improvement over other devices considered state of the art just a couple years ago which would take 24 or more treatments for difficult cases). This represents a big savings in both time and money for you.

When do patients notice improvement in their allergy symptoms?

Many people notice a diminishing of symptoms after their first of second visit. Individual timetables to achieve symptomatic relief will vary based on the individual's severity of conditions and state of overall health.

Does Insurance cover assessment and therapy.

If you have a Health Saving Account, you may be eligible for reimbursement. Otherwise this is currently considered an elective procedure similar to Lasik Eye Surgery and many dental procedures. It has benefited thousands and thousands of people and could potentially benefit almost everyone who suffers yet insurance companies don't cover the therapy. The good news is that the sessions are less than what an average person would spend in one year on allergy medications, a special allergen removing vacuum, tissues and air purifier. And the best part of all is that the benefits of this allergy relief can be permanent and may last a lifetime. No maintenance and no future checkups.

What does a typical full course of therapy cost?

Call for current fee schedule.

What is LZR7 success rate in treating allergies?

Doctors using this system nationwide treat thousands of patients all report 90 percent success rates and some even a little higher. Not everyone will respond due to the vast amount of variables in human physiology as well as the complexities of allergens; however, the overall success rate is extremely high, particularly compared to other forms of allergy treatment.

How long does symptom relief last?

Clinically it has been noted that you do not see a recurrence of allergies from a successfully treated allergen. but it does depend upon a person's lifestyle, work environment, medications, stress levels, diet, etc. Allergies are an error message- the body perceives something as harmful when it isn't. A new allergy can occur or old one can come back if the situation that caused the allergy to begin is present. The good news is that for most people the results appear to be permanent and if the allergy does reoccur it should only take one re treatment for that particular allergen family.

Why should I choose LZR7 treatment at the Laser Allergy Relief Center of Schererville over conventional allergy treatments?

At the Spine Institute of Schererville, we believe your quality of life is just as important as your allergy treatments. We specialize in LZR7 immune conditioning treatments because it is able to quickly relieve the reactions caused by an allergy or sensitivities, allowing the patient to be exposed to the substance without any of the allergic reactions they had previously suffered and without any side effects that may come with other treatments.

In contrast, conventional allergy treatments can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. For people with multiple allergies/sensitivities, conventional treatment recommends avoiding the allergens. However, particularly with food, that requires a heavily restricted diet. Drugs, such as antihistamines, may relieve symptoms of environmental allergies but do not address the cause of the reaction, so once the sufferer stops using the drugs, the symptoms typically return. Additionally, aside from the short term nature of drug-based treatment, many people suffer side-effects from drug use, whether prescription medications or over the counter drugs. The long term effects of the use of these drugs on the body are unknown.

The other most common conventional allergy therapy involves desensitizing the patient to allergens through a series of injections over many months (at least 6) and sometimes years, often with mixed results. At the Laser Allergy Relief Center of Schererville, our LZR7 treatments results in relief of symptoms within hours of days, not months or years. We want you to enjoy your life symptom free now! What we offer is more relief, faster without the side effects or decrease in quality of life.

Can prescription drugs and allergy shots actually hurt me?

The drug companies do a great job of making their products seem wonderful...and for a quick fix sometimes, they're fine. But the way OTC and prescription drugs work is to disable, for a short time, your body's natural defenses against allergies. It's like sweeping dirt under the rug. You feel better because you can't see the dirt but the actual problem is still there. The only way to fix the problem is to get rid of the dirt, permanently.
Drugs don't do that. But they can cause some unwanted side effects, like drowsiness, addiction, dry sinuses, scratchy throats rapid heartbeats to name a few. Allergy shots offer a longer term solution than OTC and prescription drugs, but they're not permanent, and who wants to keep getting shots on a regular basis? The weekly expense (gas, co-pays, time off work) and wasted time add up quick, and there are still possible side effects, including pain, redness, swelling, hives, sneezing, congestion and more. Also, allergy shots should not be given to kids under 5 years of age (Laser Allergy Group's therapy is completely safe for young children!)

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS ABOUT LASERS AND WRIST CUFF ETC.

What substances can the LZR7 identify as stressors (potential allergens)?

The LZR7 has a data base of over 100,000 potential allergens. This technology can identify almost every known substance that could possibly cause a stress reaction.

How does the wrist cuff measure which digital signals (corresponding to different allergens) my body reacts to?

Using biofeedback the sensors on the wrist cuff measure the Bio-impedance of the skin and SEMG Bio-Coherence to detect reactions of the body as it is being exposed to the digital signal of different allergens. Unlike other devices of this nature which use only one sensor the LZR7 uses 8 sensors each detecting a different component of how the body reacts to each signal.

What are low level lasers? What makes a laser an induction laser?

Low level laser therapy refers to the modality of applying a "low" energy or "low level" laser (coherent light) to tissue that stimulates cellular processes and thereby enhancing biochemical reactions. Because of the low power nature of low level laser, the effects are biochemical and not thermal and cannot cause heating and thereby cannot damage living tissue.

What have studies shown that low level laser does? what beneficial effects does it have?

Four distinct effects are known to occur when using low level laser therapy:
1. Growth factor response within cells and tissue as a result of increased ATP and protein synthesis; improved cell proliferation; change in cell membrane permeability to calcium up-take.
2. Pain relief as a result of increased endorphin and encephalin release; and increased serotonin release this can also have the effect of calming down the nervous system.
3. Strengthening the immune system response via increasing levels of lymphocyte activity and through a newly researched mechanism termed photo-modulation of blood.
4. Cellular communication enhancement through the nervous system

All this laser talk sounds dangerous is it painful?

NO! The Laser that is used as part of the therapy to give you relief is a class 3 induction Laser which means that it is not used to cut or burn. It is an induction laser that was specifically designed to stimulate the nervous system in a non-invasive non-painful way. It is perfectly safe.

Are there any side affects to low level laser used?

There are over 1500 published studies and not one of them mention any negative side effects of semi-conductor diode lasers at the 5 mW range (low level laser). Low Level lasers are safe, non-toxic and non-invasive; there has not been a recorded side effect in over 1700 publications. There are some necessary common sense precautions that need to be considered, such as avoiding pointing the laser directly into the eye and maintaining it there could prove to be damaging to the eye.
