SAAT: A Targeted Approach to Allergy Relief
If you are living with Alpha-gal Syndrome or chronic environmental allergies, you know how much they can dictate your daily life. Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT) is a specialized, minimally invasive acupuncture technique designed to significantly reduce—or even eliminate—your body’s allergic response to specific triggers.
Developed by Dr. Nader Soliman, this procedure is backed by over a decade of clinical success and is widely considered one of the most effective treatments for Alpha-gal patients today. Dr. Jones has learned this technique directly from Dr. Soliman and is now offering treatments right here in Joplin!
How Does SAAT Work?
The treatment is based on the principle that the ear serves as a neurological "map" of the entire body. By identifying the precise point on the ear that corresponds to your specific allergen, we can "reset" the body’s overreactive immune response.
The Process is Simple:
-
Identification: Using specialized testing, we locate the exact point on your ear associated with your allergy (such as mammalian meat for Alpha-gal, or pollen/dander for seasonal allergies).
-
Placement: A tiny, medical-grade acupuncture needle (about the size of a hair) is gently inserted into that specific point.
-
Duration: The needle is covered with a small piece of surgical tape and remains in place for 3 to 4 weeks.
-
Protection: During this time, the needle provides continuous stimulation to the nervous system, essentially "retraining" your immune system to no longer view the substance as a threat.
Why Choose SAAT for Alpha-gal?
Alpha-gal Syndrome—an allergy to mammalian products often triggered by a tick bite—can be incredibly restrictive. SAAT has become a "gold standard" for this condition because:
-
High Success Rate: Many patients report a complete return to a normal diet after the 3-4 week period.
-
Non-Invasive: There are no long-term medications, injections, or lifestyle-altering side effects.
-
Convenience: The procedure is quick, and once the needle is placed, you can go about your daily life as usual.
Note: While SAAT is remarkably effective, it is a specialized procedure. Its success depends on the precise location of the needle, making it a highly customized treatment tailored specifically to your body's needs.
Is SAAT Right for You?
Beyond Alpha-gal, SAAT is highly effective for a wide range of sensitivities, including:
-
Food Allergies (Gluten, Dairy, Soy, Shellfish)
-
Environmental Triggers (Pollen, Dust, Mold)
-
Animal Dander (Cats, Dogs)
