Allergy Relief with Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI)
Dec 10, 2025

Are allergies silently draining your energy, wearing down your immune system, and keeping you stuck in a cycle of chronic symptoms? Allergies aren’t just seasonal annoyances, they are abnormal immune reactions to everyday substances like pollens, molds, dust mites, animal dander, and even foods. When your body misidentifies these normal particles as threats, it triggers inflammation, congestion, infections, fatigue, skin issues, and respiratory problems that can worsen over time. Many people turn to antihistamines, decongestants, or steroids, but these only mask symptoms rather than address the root cause.

In this episode, Dr. Hotze breaks down how al...

Aug 23, 2023

Did you know that fluoride is a toxic element that you and your family are exposed to every day? Have you ever wondered why there is a warning to contact the poison control center if you swallow your toothpaste?
