FAQs What is OMIT? OMIT stands for Oral Mucosal Immunotherapy. It is a patented product by Allovate Therapuetics known as Allerdent. Allerdent is a specialized toothpaste formulated to incorporate and stabilize immunotherapeutic agents.

FAQs Is OMIT Effective? Is this a Vaccine? Yes. Oral Mucosa is a Natural Site of Immune Tolerance, and is Effective in Binding Antigenic Serum in Toothpaste without Hypersensitivity Reactions as Side Effects. Is this a Vaccine? No. This is not a Viral Antigen. The Antigens are a Biological source, completely Natural and Safe.

FAQs Can this Replace Normal Toothpaste? Is it Safe? Yes. Contains same Ingredients (No Fluoride). Acts, Tastes (Berry or Mint) & Smells the same. Is it Safe? Yes. Oral Langerhans cells Latch onto Allergens and Connect for 20 Hours in the Mucosa. Cannot Intake too much as Receptors are already Bound (ex. if brushed 2 or 3 times in a day vs. once).

FAQs What Happens if another Child Uses the Toothpaste? No Harm. They will simply Receive some Allergens to which they are Not Allergic. What is in the Toothpaste? The Allergens Prescribed by the Physician to Treat the Non-Food Allergies Found in the Blood Test.

FAQs Are there Side Effects? No. The Biological Allergens are completely Natural. Is there a Limit on How Long I can Use the Toothpaste? No. Most Regimens take 3-5 Years. Completely Safe to use until Test Results show an Immunity to Allergens.

FAQs When will I See Results? Can I Buildup a Tolerance? OMIT (toothpaste) is so Effective, Treatment Begins at Full Maintenance Level; most Patients Notice a vast Reduction in Symptoms in just 6 Weeks. However, Most Regimes take 3-5 years to build up Immunity to Allergies. Can I Buildup a Tolerance? No. Completely Natural.

FAQs Why is Toothpaste (OMIT) More Effective than Shots (SCIT)? Shots travel through the Blood. Therefore, the Serum must be Titrated Up Weekly over 6-9 Months just to reach the Maintenance Level. It takes much Longer to have an Effect on Symptoms. OMIT goes Directly to the Mucosa; therefore, the Regime Begins at the Maintenance Level.

FAQs Is there Research? Yes. Over 150 Articles. The Johns Hopkins Study concluded that SLIT is More Effective than SCIT (Effective and Safe for Pediatrics), and another Study concluded OMIT Increased in Adherence and Serum Levels over SLIT. Toothpaste is the Safest and most Effective Natural Treatment Available.

CONCLUSION OMIT WORKS SAFE AFFORDABLE GREAT ANCILLARY Based on Science Effective for Pediatrics AFFORDABLE $99 a month vs. copays $60-$200 GREAT ANCILLARY New Revenue for Practice
