Immunotherapy Naturopathic Doctor in Fairfield, CT
Naturopathic Immunotherapy and Immune System Support
When your immune system is overreacting, underperforming, or stuck fighting a chronic infection, generic immune boosters won’t fix it. As an immunotherapy specialist practice, we use targeted therapies like SLIT and LDI to retrain your immune response instead of just suppressing symptoms.
What Is Naturopathic Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy works by gradually adjusting how your immune system responds to specific triggers, whether that’s allergens, chronic infections, or immune dysregulation tied to conditions like Lyme disease and autoimmune disorders. Rather than masking a reaction after it happens, immunotherapy trains your immune system to stop overreacting in the first place.
Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) in Fairfield, CT
SLIT delivers small, controlled doses of allergens under the tongue to gradually reduce your body’s allergic response. It’s a needle-free alternative to traditional allergy shots and can be used to treat environmental allergies, food sensitivities, and related immune reactions.
Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI) in Fairfield, CT
LDI uses extremely diluted doses of antigens to help regulate an overactive or dysfunctional immune response. We use LDI for patients dealing with chronic Lyme disease, tick-borne co-infections, autoimmune conditions, and unresolved chronic illness where the immune system needs to be recalibrated, not just suppressed.
Since LDI is often used alongside Lyme disease protocols, patients dealing with chronic or post-treatment Lyme symptoms frequently benefit from combining the two. Explore our Lyme Disease treatment.
Who Benefits From Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy may help if you’re dealing with:
- Chronic environmental or food allergies that haven’t responded to standard treatment
- Chronic Lyme disease or tick-borne co-infections
- Autoimmune conditions involving immune dysregulation
- Recurring infections tied to a weakened immune response
- Immune symptoms that flare without a clear, consistent trigger
Autoimmune conditions in particular often involve an immune system that’s both overactive in some areas and underperforming in others. If that describes your case, our Autoimmune Conditions care works closely alongside immunotherapy treatment.
Immune System Support Built Around Your Case
As a naturopathic immunotherapy provider, we start with testing to understand what’s actually happening with your immune system, not a standard allergy panel alone. From there, we build a treatment plan that may include SLIT, LDI, nutritional support, and lifestyle adjustments designed to restore balanced immune function over time.

SLIT is a needle-free allergy treatment that uses small doses of allergens placed under the tongue to gradually reduce your immune system’s reaction over time.
What is low dose immunotherapy (LDI)?
LDI uses highly diluted antigen doses to help regulate an overactive or dysfunctional immune response, often used for chronic Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, and unresolved chronic illness.

Yes. LDI is often used as part of chronic Lyme disease treatment to help regulate immune response and support recovery alongside other Lyme-specific protocols.
