Unlocking Relief: SAAT Treatment for Alpha-Gal Allergy
Living with allergies can be frustrating and life-altering, but for those with Alpha-Gal Syndrome—an allergy to red meat and mammal products—the challenge is especially unique. Triggered by a tick bite, Alpha-Gal Syndrome causes the immune system to react to a sugar molecule (alpha-gal) found in red meat, pork, lamb, and sometimes even dairy. Symptoms can range from mild hives to severe, delayed anaphylaxis, making every meal a source of stress.
At Acupuncture of West Florida, we offer a powerful, drug-free solution: Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT).
What is SAAT?
SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment) is an advanced form of ear acupuncture designed to help patients reset their immune system’s overreaction to allergens. Using just one tiny, semi-permanent needle placed in the outer ear, SAAT works with the nervous system to desensitize the body to a specific allergen—like alpha-gal.
-
One needle per allergen
-
Quick, virtually painless treatment
-
Needle remains in place for 3–4 weeks
-
Long-lasting results—often after just one cycle
How SAAT Helps Alpha-Gal Patients
For Alpha-Gal sufferers, avoiding hidden mammal products in food, medications, and personal care items can feel overwhelming. SAAT offers a breakthrough approach by reducing or eliminating the allergic response itself.
Patients treated with SAAT for Alpha-Gal Syndrome have reported:
✔ Fewer or no allergic reactions to accidental exposures
✔ Greater peace of mind when dining out or traveling
✔ A restored sense of normalcy and freedom in everyday life
Beyond Alpha-Gal: Other Allergies SAAT Can Treat
While SAAT is particularly effective for Alpha-Gal Syndrome, it can also be used for:
-
Food allergies (peanuts, dairy, gluten, shellfish, etc.)
-
Environmental allergies (pollen, mold, pet dander)
-
Chemical sensitivities (fragrances, cleaning products)
-
Seasonal allergies (sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes)
What to Expect During Your Visit
At Acupuncture of West Florida, your SAAT journey begins with a consultation and allergy review. Dr. Kim will determine which allergens need to be addressed, then place the tiny ear needle(s) accordingly.
-
Step 1: Allergy history + evaluation
-
Step 2: Needle placement (30 minutes or less)
-
Step 3: 3–4 weeks of immune system “reset”
-
Step 4: Follow-up to evaluate results
The treatment is quick, safe, and designed to bring you long-lasting relief.
