I believe ramping up exposure dose is an important part of the protocol. You don't immediately jump to the highest dose for many drugs. Exposure to large amounts of allergens regularly just trains your immune system to continue responding as if it's being attacked. The point is to introduce doses that don't trigger a strong reaction so the system learns to ignore it, and then ramp up from there.
