You can become desenstised to an allergen by regular, increasing strength doeses of the allergen. The body comes to recognise the allergen and not react so violently when it comes into contact with it. This is not a cure (patient cannot become unallergic), it just dampens down the reaction so that it isnt at a life threatening level...;

Yes. I was allergic to anything and everything for many years since I was a kid. I was taking both Zyrtec and Allegra on a daily basis plus getting shots twice a week. I visited a natural medicine doctor and he put me a detox diet and in 7 days I got rid of all my allergies. That was 4 years ago and i am still allergy free. So it is possible and I recommend doing it the natural way. Allergy shots and medicines only cover up the problem but it doesn't eliminate it.

Yes by submitting the body to doses of what it is allergic to. But this only works sometimes and would not be tried in certain cases.
To those who say you can't become unallergic to something, I have. I used to have really severe hayfever and was miserable from May to September every year, even resorting to steriod injections to see if they would help. Then I was pregnant with my son and all that summer I didn't have a single sneeze or sniffle, and I never have in the 16 years since. No idea how it happened, I assume some change in my system triggered by my pregnancy.

Yes, my Mother had a cat and I had permanent flu like symptoms when staying at home - runny nose & itchy eyes. Someone bought me 2 kittens as a moving in present when I bought my own place. I was terrified I would have to give them away. I was fine and now 14 years later still have them!

I believe that if you expose yourself to what you are allergic to little and often your body builds up resistance, ie: our son was away at school and on his return for holidays used to have an allergic reaction to our dog and had both itching and a rash plus his eyes used to swell and close up. but after exposure daily the itching etc had almost gone. just my observation I'm not a doctor.

I don't know of anything you can do to "become unallergic" as you put it...but I have always heard that you can outgrow an allergy...I guess sometimes in some cases your body adjusts to the allergy.
