Yes, TIP is the safest food allergy treatment program available. Unlike exposure therapy (also known as Oral Immunotherapy), which exposes patients directly to foods they are severely allergic to, TIP never begins by introducing patients directly to their allergens. Instead, TIP uses foods similar in structure to an allergen (biosimilar proteins) to retrain the immune system and safely develop tolerance. This method has allowed us to achieve an adverse event rate of less than 1%.*
*The adverse event rate is defined as epinephrine usage.
