WHAT IS ALPHA-GAL?
Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS) — also called red meat immune reaction or tick bite food sensitivity — is triggered by a lone star tick or chigger bite. It causes an IgE immune response to a sugar molecule (galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose) found in mammalian products such as beef, pork, dairy, and many hidden everyday products.
Many patients experience:
- Delayed sensitivity reactions
- Digestive issues
- Skin reactions (hives, itching)
- Fatigue or brain fog
- Sensitivity to cross-contamination
👉 Reactions can feel unpredictable, even when you’re being careful.
WHAT IS SAAT TREATMENT?
SAAT (Soliman Auricular Treatment) is a specialized auricular acupuncture technique designed by Dr. Nader Soliman to help reduce the body's response to specific triggers. Used for Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS), MCAS, and other food or environmental sensitivities. Serving patients near Charlottesville VA, Lynchburg VA, and throughout Central Virginia.
- A small, sterile needle is placed in the ear
- The needle remains in place for about 3 weeks
- After removal, your response is reassessed
👉 Many patients report improvement in how their body responds to exposures over time.
HOW OUR PROCESS WORKS
Consultation & Screening
We review your history, symptoms, and sensitivities to determine if you’re a good candidate.
Targeted SAAT Placement
Precise ear point/s are identified and treated using a small retained needle.
Follow-Up & Reassessment
After ~3 weeks, (4 weeks for MCAS) the needle is removed and your response is evaluated.
👉 Additional points (such as histamine or related sensitivities) may be addressed if needed.
