•  Ensuring pre-infusion safety protocols like
                       antihistamine premedication or blood pressure
                       checks.
                   •  Managing immediate reactions—from mild
                       flushing to full-blown anaphylaxis.
                   •  Documenting and justifying every dose for
                       insurance reimbursement.


               This system makes physicians managers of risk—
               navigators of complexity—not always healers in the
               holistic sense. Their clinical energy is often consumed not
               by patient insight, but by orchestration.


               But edible biologics, particularly those formulated for
               mucosal tolerance and immune retraining, upend that
               framework. They eliminate the infusion chair, reduce
               procedural requirements, and minimize acute immune
               complications. Suddenly, the doctor's value shifts—not
               because it decreases, but because it evolves.




               The Rise of the Therapeutic Strategist


               Without the procedural burden, the physician’s role
               becomes more longitudinal, more analytical, and more
               relational. They’re no longer managing a series of acute
               touchpoints. Instead, they’re shaping a multi-year strategy
               of immune modulation.

               In this new model, the physician:

               • Monitors disease progression with immune literacy.
               They don't just track symptom flares—they read deeper
               into cytokine patterns, mucosal integrity, tolerance
               markers, and microbiome shifts. They understand how
