Allergy Elimination

If you've ever thought "I'd love to be QUIT of these allergies!" then allergy elimination may be a good choice for you. Acupuncture improves allergic complaints by putting your body back into homeostasis so you are less likely to react to allergens. A good diet with appropriate nutrients, enzymes and herbs can also go far in reducing symptoms. But someday you may want to directly address the particular substances that set you off--that's when you sign up for allergy elimination.

In the last 20+ years a number of insightful people have developed several methods to minimize hypersensitivity reactions. I have received advanced training a particular system called BioSET(TM) developed by Ellen Cutler, DC, MD. This system combines insights from acupressure, acupuncture, chiropractic, and bioenergetics. One idea behind this system is that if a substance causes your muscles to weaken, then it is not good for your body. If, subsequent to treatment, the same substance does not weaken your muscles, then you can safely use it or be in its presence. The treatment involves tapping along the spine, followed by acupuncture, while you hold test substances. It's suitable for all ages, though children do not receive needling. For many people this system can yield permanent improvements, such as the ability to eat foods that formerly made them sick, or to be around cats or dogs or birds, to take walks in high-pollen seasons, or to ride in airplanes without developing sinus complaints from pressure changes.
