Alpha-gal allergy, also known as Alpha-gal syndrome, is a unique form of food allergy triggered by the bite of lone star ticks or related species. The condition is characterized by an IgE immune system response to a sugar molecule called alpha-gal, found in red meat such as beef, pork, and lamb.
Unlike typical food allergies, symptoms of Alpha-gal allergy manifest several hours after consuming the allergen and may include hives, itching, abdominal pain, and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. The link to tick bites, particularly in regions with lone star tick prevalence, distinguishes Alpha-gal syndrome. Diagnosis involves blood tests to detect specific antibodies, and management primarily revolves around strict avoidance of red meat and alpha-gal-containing products.
The risk of Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is associated with exposure to lone star ticks, which are commonly found in the mid-south; therefore, an increased infection rate has been shown in this area of the US.
Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT), as it is known, is a simple technique using only one needle and requires only one treatment. This technique has proven to provide the strongest relief from alpha gal allergy symptoms among all known acupuncture techniques.
Typically requiring only one to three sessions, the SAAT treatment is simple, economical, and has no known side effects. A study published in the American Journal of Biomedical and Life Sciences affirms its effectiveness, stating, "The response was of groundbreaking statistical significance; the success rate for this first wave of follow-up responding participants who completed the treatment was 94.8%."
SAAT leverages the interconnected nature of the ear to the brain in neurological, embryological, and electromagnetic ways. This acupuncture treatment triggers the body to naturally recede allergies or sensitivities.
The treatment involves electronic detection of an active point on the ear while in contact with the substance being tested. A small 3mm needle is then inserted into the active point and secured with a sterile adhesive patch for 3 weeks to desensitize the patient to the allergen. Strict allergen avoidance is recommended during this period.
