Allergy Desensitization

At Natural Solace we are proud to offer Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT) for allergy relief.

This unique approach developed by Dr. Nader Soliman is a simple technique involving placement of one tiny hair-thin acupuncture needle.  The needle is left in the ear for a specified amount of time, which resets the immune response to the allergen.

Once the needles are removed, desensitization will continue, requiring only one single treatment. This proven technique provides the strongest relief from allergy  symptoms among all known acupuncture techniques. 

Alpha-gal syndrome is a food allergy to the meat of mammals such as beef, pork, lamb, and venison among others, that develops after a tick bite. However, not everyone experiences a reaction to alpha-gal after a bite, as there are many factors involved in the development of the sensitivity.

To date, the lone star tick has been identified as the vector responsible in the transmission.  Still, others such as chiggers and mosquitoes are currently being investigated as a possible link to this syndrome.

Signs and symptoms of alpha-gal allergic reactions are delayed compared with other food sensitivities.  In Alpha gal Syndrome symptoms typically don’t appear until 3-8 hours after eating red meat.  In contrast, reactions to most foods such as peanuts, gluten, or shellfish, typically start rapidly or immediately upon exposure. 

Food allergies are typically triggered by proteins, however, alpha-gal is different as it is a sugar or carbohydrate molecule.  This explains  why red meat allergy sufferers are able to eat seafood, chicken, turkey, fish and eggs.
