Alpha Gal Protocol

 A lone star tick bite can cause alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) by transferring a sugar molecule called "alpha-gal" from its saliva into a person's bloodstream, which can then trigger an allergic reaction when that person is exposed or consumes mammal products; this is the primary way people develop alpha-gal syndrome in the United States.

Skin: Itchy rash, hives, flushing, or red, itchy patches of skin 

Gastrointestinal: Stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, or indigestion 

Respiratory: Cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, or chest tightness 

Swelling: Swelling of the lips, face, tongue, throat, or other body parts 

Other: Dizziness, faintness, drop in blood pressure, fatigue, anxiety, depression, poor memory, or irritability

 When Treating Alpha gal the most common technique that comes up in a Google search is the SAAT ear staple technique. This is basically Ear acupuncture protocol for an allergic response. At Pure we do the Ear Acupuncture but typically this is not the only nor MOST effective way to treat Alpha gal.

Depending on each individual the treatment will vary.  In our experience multiple modalities are the most effective way for relief. These modalities include: Ear Acupuncture, Body Acupuncture, and Herbal supplements.
