Can AAT Help with Seasonal Allergy Symptoms?

Yes! AAT gets excellent results with seasonal symptoms. Symptoms associated with allergies can manifest during different seasons, depending on the specific type of pollen to which an individual reacts and the time of year.

​

  • Spring – Trees

  • Summer – Grasses

  • Fall - Weeds 

  • Common Seasonal Allergy Symptoms

  • Seasonal allergies may cause symptoms such as a runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, congestion, headaches, fatigue, and coughing.

  • 5.2 million children were diagnosed with hay fever within the past 12 months.

Can AAT Help with Chronic Sinusitis?

Yes, AAT can achieve excellent results in treating chronic sinusitis. Allergies often contribute to persistent inflammation of the sinuses and mucus lining, increasing susceptibility to sinus issues and chronic sinusitis.

Common Triggers Include: Dust, molds, fungus, pets, fragrances, and environmental allergens.
 

  • According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 40 million Americans are affected by sinusitis every year, with 33 million cases of chronic sinusitis reported annually.

  • Nearly one in three Americans, or 90 million people, is affected when sinusitis is considered together with allergic rhinitis, asthma, and chronic bronchitis.

  • A clinic could specialize in treating sinusitis alone with great success.

  • There are over 2.7 million visits to doctor’s offices each year for sinusitis.

  • 28.9% of adults are diagnosed with sinusitis.

Can AAT Help with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?

Yes, AAT has excellent results in treating IBS. Hidden food allergies and sensitivities often play a significant role in the development and exacerbation of IBS. The primary medical treatment typically involves dietary modification and avoiding offending foods, which can be very challenging, and many people continue to suffer from symptoms. AAT directly addresses these symptoms.

 

IBS is one of the most seen conditions by medical doctors, and effective treatments are very limited. AAT consistently provides excellent results in resolving IBS.

​

Common Triggers Include: Dairy, wheat, sugar, yeast, salicylates, corn, soy, and various food components.

·      IBS affects between 25 and 45 million people in the U.S.

·      About 2 in 3 IBS sufferers are female.

Can AAT Help with Asthma?

AAT can effectively treat many irritants contributing to asthmatic symptoms. Allergy-induced asthma symptoms are very common and respond well to AAT treatments.

Common Triggers Include: Molds, dust, dust mites, pet dander, grass, pollens, fragrances, and chemicals.

 

  • 8% of adults suffer from asthma.

  • 6.5% of children suffer from asthma.

However, exercise-induced asthma is difficult to treat with AAT as it does not stem from an error.

Can AAT Help with Eczema or Skin Conditions?

Yes! AAT can be highly effective for many skin conditions and symptoms arising from allergies and sensitivities. If sensitivities are contributing to the condition, AAT can provide significant relief. However, in more severe cases, other factors may be involved, resulting in only partial improvement. Skin conditions that have shown improvement with AAT include urticaria (hives), eczema, contact dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis.

Common Triggers for Skin Symptoms: Foods, nickel, pet dander, fragrances, grass, and chemicals in personal care products.

  • In the past 12 months, there have been 9.2 million reported cases of skin allergies in children.

  • Hives affect approximately 20% of the population at some point in their lives.

Can AAT Help with Acid Reflux Symptoms?

Yes, AAT can achieve excellent results in alleviating acid reflux symptoms. Acid reflux can occur at any time but is often experienced after a meal. Medications for acid reflux are among the top sellers, alongside allergy medications. With so many cases, AAT can effectively address the underlying triggers.

Common Triggers Include: Spicy foods, onions, citrus, tomatoes, fatty or fried foods, alcohol, and carbonated beverages.

·       20% of the U.S. population suffers from acid reflux.

·       Allergies can potentially trigger or exacerbate reflux symptoms.

·       The #1 drug seller (along with allergy medication) is for acid reflux.

Can AAT Help with Food Sensitivity Symptoms?

Absolutely! AAT achieves excellent results in alleviating the various symptoms caused by food sensitivities. These sensitivities are widespread and can contribute to a broad spectrum of issues, including digestive, respiratory, skin, headaches, behavioral problems, and inflammation.

Common Triggers for Food Sensitivities include: Dairy, sugar, wheat, soy, corn, nuts, food components, food additives, alcohol, and coffee.

 

  • Approximately 32 million people in the U.S. have food allergies.

  • This includes 10.8% of adults and 7.6% of children.

How many AAT treatments are Required?

AAT treats one allergen family at a time, so the number of treatments depends on the number of allergen families involved in the reaction. However, within each allergen family, the specificity is identified down to the protein molecule, making each treatment extremely comprehensive. 

 

For instance, an allergen family could be something like dust, dairy, or grasses. Within each of these allergen families, we strive to identify all the components within the item that is causing a reaction, resulting in an exceptional and results-driven treatment. 

 

Most of the time, a single allergen family will respond to treatment within a single visit, but it may require multiple visits per family. Conditions such as chronic sinusitis or IBS typically require between 5 and 12 treatments, depending on how many allergen families are contributing to the condition.

Is there an age restriction for the AAT treatments?

No. All ages may be treated, including infants.

How long do I have to wait before having contact with the item that was treated in my session?

Following a session, a patient should avoid the substance that was treated for 2 hours, if possible. Depending on the item addressed, avoidance is not always possible. It is recommended that the patient not have excessive contact with the item until the following day.

Do You Accept Health Insurance for AAT Treatments?

AAT treatments are not covered by insurance because there is no diagnostic code for the treatment. However, they are eligible for coverage through a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), allowing patients to utilize these options.
