Alpha-Gal Syndrome: SAAT Treatment Across Florida

SAAT for Alpha-Gal Syndrome: learn about the retained ear-needle protocol, limited evidence, and safety questions at Acupuncture of West Florida in Clearwater.

May 18, 2026 8 min read By Dr. Kim Windschauer, AP
Quick answer
  • • SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment) is a retained ear-needle protocol. Evidence is limited and does not establish a cure, reliable success rate, or predictable individual benefit for Alpha-Gal Syndrome.
  • • Dr. Kim Windschauer is one of a small number of SAAT-certified practitioners in Florida.
  • • Most patients travel to Clearwater from across Florida for a single 60–90 minute treatment.

What SAAT is (and isn't)

SAAT was developed by Dr. Nader Soliman and uses a single, precisely placed auricular needle retained for several weeks. It is not the same as ear seeds, NAET, or standard auricular acupuncture. Certification requires direct training with the Soliman institute.

Frequently asked

What is SAAT for Alpha-Gal Syndrome?+

SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment) involves a needle placed at a specific ear point and retained for approximately three weeks. Limited reports describe symptom changes, but do not establish effectiveness or predict individual results. Continue allergist-directed care and allergy precautions.

Does SAAT actually cure Alpha-Gal Syndrome?+

SAAT is not an established cure for Alpha-Gal Syndrome. Published case reports and case series cannot establish a cure or a reliable success rate. Continue trigger avoidance and prescribed emergency medication, and do not reintroduce mammalian foods or products without your allergist's guidance.

How much does SAAT cost in Florida?+

SAAT at Acupuncture of West Florida is a flat-fee protocol including the treatment and retention-period follow-up. Any food reintroduction should be guided by your allergist. Contact us at 727-490-6060 for current pricing.
