Allergy Testing

A New Approach to Chronic Allergies

Allergies affect millions of Americans, yet many are left treating only the symptoms. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond surface-level solutions. Our integrative allergy care combines conventional testing, holistic healing, and functional medicine to uncover the root causes of your allergic reactions—and help your body heal naturally.
We treat the whole person—not just the immune system.

What Are Allergies?

Allergies are hypersensitive immune responses to substances that are typically harmless—such as pollen, pet dander, food, or dust mites. When your body perceives these as threats, it reacts with inflammation, congestion, digestive upset, or even anaphylaxis.

Common Allergy Symptoms

Many people suffer for years before identifying the root of their allergies. Watch for these common signs:

If you experience any of these, especially seasonally or after meals, allergy testing is essential.

Root Causes: Why Do You Have Allergies?

In functional medicine, we dig deeper than “what are you allergic to?”—we ask “why is your immune system overreacting?”

Here are common root contributors:

Real Case Study: David’s Journey to Relief

David, age 35, came in with year-round sinus pressure, itchy skin, and fatigue. He’d been using antihistamines daily for 5 years.
Testing revealed food sensitivities, leaky gut, and high histamine levels.

We created a 12-week integrative plan:

  • Gut healing protocol with L-glutamine & probiotics
  • Low-histamine elimination diet
  • Vitamin C and quercetin support
  • IV therapy every 2 weeks
  • Stress reduction coaching

By week 10, David was off all antihistamines. His energy improved, his skin cleared, and he no longer dreaded allergy season.
