What is AAT

A Clinically Proven and Safe Therapy

Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT) is a non-invasive therapy with over one million treatments administered, clinically demonstrated through decades of use to help address a wide range of symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities. It was developed through more than 30 years of collaborative research and clinical application by healthcare professionals in the fields of acupuncture, naturopathy, functional medicine, and chiropractic. What makes AAT different is that it does not rely on medication, herbal remedies, or supplements. The approach is non-invasive and gentle, and it is available to people of all ages, allowing a wide range of individuals to benefit from this therapeutic approach.

The AAT method works directly with the relationship between the major organ systems and overreactions to harmless substances. While the immune system is responsible for initiating an immune reaction in the case of true allergies, it is the health and state of the organ systems that often determines the type of symptoms that may arise.

When it comes to sensitivities and allergies, symptoms typically stem from the organ system affected.

When it comes to reactions, using soybeans as an example, symptoms can vary greatly from person to person. For instance, one patient may experience rashes, while another may experience sinus congestion, heartburn, or digestive symptoms commonly associated with IBS. Each of these symptoms represents a different organ system that is involved. By focusing treatment on the specific organ system(s) involved in a reaction, the body is better equipped to respond more appropriately to a substance, which means fewer symptoms.

It’s interesting to note that when it comes to allergic reactions, there can be multiple potential culprits. On one hand, the organ system itself may react, resulting in symptoms associated with that system. On the other hand, mast cells in the tissues may also contribute to a reaction. These mast cells, which play a central role in allergic responses, can be activated by non-IgE triggers such as stress, according to an increasing body of evidence. This means the body may exhibit symptoms similar to those caused by a true allergy, without the involvement of an IgE response. However, in the case of a true allergy, addressing the reactive organs may help reduce associated symptoms.

Understanding The AAT Method

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, treatment methods involve stimulating specific points on the body to directly access and improve each organ system. These points have been successfully used for thousands of years. AAT therapy builds on this approach by utilizing these points in a unique and innovative way that has been clinically demonstrated through decades of use to result in consistent and positive clinical outcomes.

The treatment points are located along both sides of the spine and correspond to the location of the sympathetic chain, which is responsible for the body’s “fight or flight” responses. By targeting reactive organ systems through these points in relation to a specific substance contributing to a reaction, it’s possible to support a shift out of a defensive state and promote a healthier response.

At AAT, we understand that some people may be apprehensive about needles. That’s why our method utilizes a precision-based acupressure technique to support organ system regulation, rather than needles. Our unique approach of addressing defensive physiology has been shown in clinical practice to be effective in supporting changes in the state of the organ systems. The AAT therapy has been developed as an Integrative Medicine and is offered by certified AAT practitioners who come from a variety of backgrounds, including Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Naturopathic Doctors, Osteopaths, Medical Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, and Registered Nurses.

It’s important to note that AAT is exclusively used by licensed healthcare professionals in private practice. Each practitioner combines various modalities from within their scope of practice, and they may offer additional testing or treatment methodologies that align with their unique approach to patient care.

What Happens During an AAT Treatment

During treatment, an AAT practitioner applies gentle pressure to specific points along the spine that correspond with the sympathetic nervous system and the organ systems involved in the reaction. By stimulating these points, a calming effect is created in the body, helping to reduce stress on the affected organ systems.

Simultaneously, a digital representation of the substance being treated is introduced to the skin’s surface through a treatment cuff.

Because the point stimulation and substance exposure occur at the same time, a reconditioning effect can be achieved, allowing the body to create a new association with the substance. By linking a calming physiological response with the substance being treated the body can begin to respond in a more appropriate way, rather than remaining in a defensive state. This process is referred to as Rapid Systems Reconditioning®, the core treatment methodology used within Advanced Allergy Therapeutics.

In the world of holistic medicine, there’s a common understanding that treating the whole body is crucial to achieving optimal health. It’s believed that various forms of stress and interference can disrupt the proper functioning of the body, leading to health issues. By reducing stress and interference, we can support the specific organ system and help the body respond more effectively. Ultimately, this approach supports overall health and wellness.

The Benefits of AAT

At AAT, we understand that every person is unique and will experience different reactions to substances as well as react to different components within the same substance. That’s why all of the AAT treatment protocols are completely customized to suit each person’s specific symptoms and can identify the specific substances or components that are contributing to negative or inappropriate reactions. We’re proud to say that most of our patients continually report significant improvements in their symptoms or even complete resolution, many after just a few sessions with AAT.

At AAT, we believe in providing our clients with safe, natural, and effective therapeutic options for the many symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities. We understand that medications can sometimes cause unwanted side effects and long-term health risks, and that a lifetime of avoidance can be incredibly challenging. That’s why we offer a non-invasive therapy that can help support the body’s ability to regain balance and well-being. Whether you’re dealing with one sensitivity or multiple sensitivities, AAT can be a wonderful option to help reduce your symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.

AAT does not diagnose allergies, sensitivities, or intolerances.

AAT does not test for allergies or sensitivities. AAT simply assesses what may be causing stress to the body.

AAT does not cure allergies, nor does the therapy treat the immune system. AAT is a highly effective treatment that provides long-term relief from symptoms associated with allergies or sensitivities.

AAT does not treat cases of anaphylaxis or life-threatening symptoms. Strict avoidance is always advised in these cases.
