134 | ALPHA GAL – EPISODE 3: TREATMENT, TOLERANCE, AND THE EAR NEEDLE EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT

<p>You&#39;ve been diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome — now what? In the final episode of the series, Andrea and Ashley get into the practical side: how to actually manage this thing, from individualized avoidance and tick-bite prevention (yes, that&#39;s part of treatment too) to emergency planning, symptom management, and the emerging — and genuinely interesting — question of whether desensitization is possible. They also dig into SAAT, Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment, the specialized auricular acupuncture protocol generating serious buzz in the alpha-gal community, where a tiny semi-permanent needle in your ear may lead to eating a burger again. A 2021 case series reported a 96% symptom resolution rate — so what do we actually make of that?</p><p>This episode doesn&#39;t oversell anything. It also doesn&#39;t dismiss anything. It&#39;s an honest look at where the science is, what patients are reporting, and how to think about reintroduction safely — especially if your history includes anaphylaxis.</p><p>📬 <strong>Reach us:</strong><br>Andrea – <a href="mailto:andrea@rmhealthpartners.com">andrea@rmhealthpartners.com</a> | <a href="http://www.rmhealthpartners.com">www.rmhealthpartners.com</a><br>Ashley – <a href="mailto:ashley@karvefitness.co">ashley@karvefitness.co</a> | <a href="http://www.karvefitness.co">www.karvefitness.co</a></p>
