Department of Allergy & Sinus · East to West Wellness Center
Allergies or sinus trouble that return every season?
Antihistamines and nasal sprays may calm the reaction. But when symptoms return every year, you may still have no answer for why your immune system reacts so strongly.
Sound familiar?
If this is you, you’re in the right place
- Allergy seasons seem worse each year
- Sinus congestion or pressure never fully clears
- Food sensitivities or reactions keep changing
- Hives, flushing or histamine reactions appear
- Antihistamines help, but symptoms return
What medicine does well, and what it wasn’t built for
Why it keeps coming back
Antihistamines block the reaction, and that is useful. But they do not change why the immune system is reacting so strongly. The pattern can involve the gut, how the body clears histamine and immune organs that are not supporting tolerance well.
That’s the part we work on. We don’t replace your doctor. We optimize the systems underneath, your metabolism, mitochondria and immune response, so your body can do what it’s built to do: heal and stay well.
Systems biology, applied to Allergy & Sinus
The three systems we see most often
Poor detoxification pathways
When the body clears histamine and other triggers slowly, reactions can build up.
Gut inflammation and dysbiosis
Most of the immune system lives in the gut, and an inflamed gut can prime it to overreact.
Low spleen and thymus function
In our clinic we often see the immune organs that train tolerance running low.
Systems we check in every allergy & sinus evaluation:
Diagnosis decides what we fix. If a system tests fine, we leave it alone and put your time and money where it matters.
How we fix it
In the order that matters
Calm the reaction
Support symptom control and reduce the immediate inflammatory load.
Calm the gut
Address gut inflammation and dysbiosis.
Support clearance
Review pathways involved in clearing histamine and other triggers.
Build tolerance
Support a more balanced immune response.
What we measure
Your numbers, re-tested
We only order what would change your plan, and we tell you up front which tests may be covered.
Our tools
Acupuncture and electroacupuncture, clinical nutrition, medical-grade supplements and herbal prescriptions, moxibustion and red light. When you need more, our physician partners and your own specialists are part of the plan.
What patients say
★★★★★Greg is an amazing Acupuncturist. I came to him with several issues and he’s addressed them all. I used to have migraine headache and now thanks to him they’re gone. Allergies are a thing of the past! He’s so talented, bright and down to earth. He’s always been honest with me. A practitioner with integrity. He genuinely wants to heal people. I wish I started sooner!!

Our offer
A personalized care plan, backed by your own markers
Every department offers the same thing: a time-based plan built for your issue. Testing, mapping where the problem started, a written plan, treatments, clinical nutrition, and supplement and herbal prescriptions, all aimed at your issue instead of piecemeal visits. Acupuncture is our super-specialty, and many plans work with or without it.
| East to West care plan | One-size protocol | |
|---|---|---|
| How it’s built | From your testing and your history | The same steps for everyone with the same complaint |
| What it targets | The systems underneath, in the order that matters for you | The symptom you walked in with |
| How you know it’s working | Markers agreed up front, re-tested | You guess |
| What backs it | Progress Guarantee tied to those markers | Nothing |
| What you take home | A System Map and a roadmap for you and your doctors | A product list |
Every plan comes with our Progress Guarantee. Before we start, we agree on the markers we’ll track: your symptom score plus two or three lab or clinical markers that can realistically change. If you’ve done your part and we haven’t hit them in your plan’s time frame, we keep working with you at a reduced rate or add complimentary care. We promise the work and the measurement, not a cure.

The one place to start
Plans, not protocols. It starts with your Systems Biology Evaluation.
You know you have the problem. What nobody has shown you is how your symptom ties back to your metabolism, inflammation and immune system. That connection is our specialty.
- We map your chief complaint back to every system driving it.
- We decide which tests you actually need, and tell you which may be covered and which aren’t.
- We lay out your plan and timeline, with options for how many treatments and how long.
- You leave with your one-page System Map: where the problem sits, which systems are involved, and how we’ll address each one, in order.
Sometimes the answer is simple. If it’s a local problem, you may only need acupuncture, and we’ll tell you that.

Allergy & Sinus questions
Do I need to stop antihistamines?
No. Never stop or change medication without your prescriber. We build around the care that is already helping.
What testing may be reviewed?
We may review hsCRP, vitamin D, ferritin, IgE where useful, gut microbiome and metatranscriptome testing, and a liver panel.
Do you replace an allergist or ENT?
No. We work alongside your medical providers and refer when specialist care is needed.
When is this an emergency?
Swelling of the lips or throat, trouble breathing or a severe reaction is an emergency. Use your EpiPen if prescribed and call 911.
What happens at the Systems Biology Evaluation?
In 30 to 60 minutes we map your chief complaint to the systems driving it, decide which tests you actually need, and lay out your plan and timeline. You leave with a one-page System Map. It’s a $350 evaluation, $100 to start.
