“Eliminating Allergies Permanently With a Single Needle”

SAAT is a single procedure that often completely clears or significantly (80-90%) reduces a very specific health concern.

As you may know, Louisville is #6 on the top-10 list of the most challenging cities to live in with allergies (AAFA). SAAT can offer relief for seasonal allergies as well as other environmental allergies.

Both western and eastern doctors agree that allergic responses of all kinds develop from an overly sensitive, “malfunctioning” immune system. While western doctors mainly address allergies by suppressing the immune response, eastern medicine, in this case, SAAT, works to address the immune system’s negative response to an allergen.

SAAT essentially “reprograms” your immune system to stop over reacting to allergens. If the body has the ability and power to develop the overactive immune response, it has the ability to reverse it as well.

Mateo was trained and certified in Soliman’s Auricular Allergy Treatment by Dr. Nader Soliman, a pioneer in auricular acupuncture, who completed years of clinical study on thousands of allergy sufferers. Through his refined method of SAAT, individuals now experience elimination or severe reduction in their allergy symptoms.

Most people with mild or moderate allergic reactions benefit tremendously from this technique. However, we at CSAcu follow the recommendations of Dr. Soliman for patients with severe anaphalactic reactions to substances – they may be treated with SAAT but the strong suggestion is to continue to avoid exposure if possible. The SAAT treatment may help to minimize symptoms of accidental exposure to such substances.

Alpha-gal Syndrome: Why Can’t I Eat Meat?

Interview with Mateo Bernal, OMD/DOM, LAc, and Martin Huecker, MD, discuss alpha-gal syndrome.

SAAT is capable of addressing almost any negative immune-response allergy/sensitivity, including, but not limited to:

Food Sensitivities

Fruits, vegetables, nuts, wheat, gluten, dairy, sugar, preservatives, meat(alpha-gal) and more!

Home & Environment

Dog, cat, & other animals, dust and dust mites, trees, pollen of specific species, grasses, poison ivy, latex & more

Seasonal

Grasses, weeds, pollens, trees, etc.

SAAT At Our Clinic Includes:

  • Auricular Medicine Bio-Energetic Testing

    We treat allergies in two basic ways –

    1. – If you’ve already identified your allergen via testing (skin prick or blood) or other method, you should indicate that in your initial phone call with the provider. We will order a homeopathic vial with the particular energetic signature (frequency) of your particular allergen(s) if we have yet to treat it at our clinic. When you are in the office we do a series of tests (called applied kinesiology) to determine your sensitivity to the allergen.
    2. If you aren’t sure of your allergen we will spend time in the office to determine what it is exactly your immune system seems to be responding to. In this case, we may be able to perform the treatment on the same day as the testing, but if we do not have the precise homeopathic solution in stock at the clinic, we will need to order and have you return to complete the process.

    After we’ve determined your sensitivity, we find an extremely precise location for needle treatment of that particular allergen for YOUR body. This location is identified by finding the most electrically conductive location in your ear using a specialized volt meter. This procedure was built on the work of Dr. Paul Nogier in France in the 1960s and refined by Dr. Nader Soliman.

  • Auricular Allergy Acupuncture

    A single 3mm tiny specialized ear acupuncture needle inserted per allergen. Each needle is covered by a small piece of medical adhesive tape, and worn for 21 days, and then removed at our clinic. 1-3 specific allergens may be addressed per treatment.

  • Typical SAAT Results

    In our experience, SAAT has been remarkably effective in minimizing allergy symptoms or removing them altogether. This follows Dr. Soliman’s results over his 10 years clinical experience as well. Many people get relief from symptoms such as:

    • gastrointestinal distress from particular foods
    • swelling/itchy mouth from particular food consumption
    • itchy/watery eyes, sneezing
    • runny nose
    • chest tightness and coughing when exposed to a particular animal (esp dog or cat)
    • contact dermatological reactions (latex, poison ivy) to name the few common ones

    SAAT may also result in a severe reduction in symptoms, where patients may still experience a tiny residue of a symptom(s) but they report that their symptoms are 80, 90, or 95% improved.

    We would like to share that Dr. Soliman notes that in 10 years of practicing SAAT, no reoccurrence of the same allergy has been reported, with the exception of those that occurred due to hormonal shifts in the individual (i.e. puberty, pregnancy, menopause etc).

    If you still experience some type of symptom after treatment, it is most likely due to the fact that the body is responding to an additional allergy that has yet to be identified and treated. For example, a patient may not only be allergic to apples, he/she may also be allergic to the food grade wax or pesticide residue on the apple. In this case, treating for apple may greatly reduce the allergy, but only 100% clearing will result when ALL aspects the client is sensitive to are treated.

    This is important to also keep in mind when addressing outdoor allergies. While we are capable of treating particular tree/grass/other plant species, identification of all outdoor allergies can sometimes be challenging. Paying attention to the time of year as well as the environment you are in when allergies are triggered are a necessity.

    If you suspect you have a food allergy but have not identified it yet, food logs and elimination diets can help us identify your suspected food allergen(s).

    We strongly recommend that you work with an allergist to determine your allergens.

    It is extremely important to keep in mind that the success of your treatment depends greatly on identification of all food and environmental allergies.

Mateo is so wonderful. He has helped heal my mold allergies, gluten allergies, all autoimmunity and MCAS. His level of intelligence and knowledge is above par compared to other Accupuncture around us. He is constantly increasing his knowledge and level of skill in all areas. He has so much compassion, empathy and intuition in what he does. He truly cares about his patients and genuinely wants to see you heal. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, if you have health conditions you can’t get to the bottom of, please go see them!

I had actually came here to see what I had written about their review and found out I never have reviewed CSAcu. Its crazy because I've been going here for years. 90% of the time I'm having injuries treated, I've also have had Thyroid treatment. Mateo is caring, Mateo is thoughtful, and probably most important, he listens. I have been in and out of his office for years and he has always treated me with respect and more importantly and individual and an equal. Mateo provides a comfortable, safe environment for you to feel at ease with your treatment. I was definitely worried about the needles, but with Mateos expertise, he show and explains the procedure to you and demonstrates in a way that puts me(and hopefully you too) at ease. CSAcu is an essential supplement to you everyday wellbeing. I can't recommend him enough.
