Rich, Histamine desentization is an OLD treatment. Probably (the only one I know of) that does this is the Diamond Clinic in Chicago. They claim an 80% success rate in achieving remissions. I was referred there by the Mayo Clinic. Mayo was unable to help me and thought why not try. Mayo hasn't done the treatment in many years; as they do not feel it is beneficial. Anyway, I did go there and was a patient for the IV treatment over 11 days. Unfortunately, I did not respond to it. I did talk with several gentlemen that have had marked success with this. They achieved remissions for years. Diamond is currently managing me; with improvement. There is MINIMAL literature ought there on this. Should you want more information, please e-mail me. Good Luck! irene
