Diseases like Lyme disease, Babesia and Alpha Gal unfortunately are on the rise in locations throughout the East coast, causing severe symptoms in those unfortunate to be infected, including neurological disorders, visual impairment, chronic joint pain, neck and back pain and more. Many people afflicted with tick born illnesses are not even aware of the source of their pain, as testing for tick-born illnesses in Western Medicine typically only focuses on a selection of potential antibodies that lead to this diagnosis. Furthermore, treatment with antibiotics which is the most common course of action, is only effective for acute Lyme.
Alpha Gal is an acquired allergy to red meat and other mammalian products that occurs after a bite from the lonestar tick. It can cause minor to serious allergies to products such as red meat and pork, dairy, gelatin, and even certain products that are processed with mammalian products such as certain clothing and alcohol. Patients who are infected with Alpha Gal may have a secondhand exposure such as through fumes at a barbecue, then two hours later they develop debilitating symptoms such as nausea and vomiting or even anaphylaxis.
The Western Medical protocol for treating Lyme disease and other tick born illnesses is typically a 3-6 week course of doxycycline soon after infection, a powerful antibiotic that may wipe out the bacteria before it spreads. However, if the window of opportunity is missed, antibiotics are unlikely to lead to symptom relief the patient is seeking and furthermore, it is a detriment to the patient to clear out the healthy gut flora without reinnoculation of healthy flora, an important step that is very often missed and can lead to further complications.
So what is a person to do if they suspect they have Lyme disease or other tick-born illnesses? Dr. Molly Hutto of Annapolis Family Acupuncture has been studying with a world-renowned doctor, Dr. Nader Soliman, for the past year, where she has learned a great deal about treating these pesky diseases. Two protocols in particular stand out for patients who are trying to find effective ways to treat these ailments. The SAAT allergy technique which was invented by Dr. Soliman, has been clinically proven to eradicate allergies, including Alpha Gal. SAAT has exceedingly high success rates and involves the insertion of very small needles into the hemiconcha of the outer ear, specifically in a location that correlates to the patient’s allergens, found using a contraption called an electric point finder which measures the electrical frequency being released from the ear which is a microsystem the brain releases electrical charges through when we are exposed to different pathogens, as a form of maintaining homeostaisis.

Auricular Medicine is a more comprehensive technique involving two primary phases of treatment with homeopathic remedies that are carefully crafted to course toxins out of the body including the Borelia, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Through the course of completing the auricular medicine protocol over 4-6 months, a patient’s entire immune system is reset through detoxing, balancing of the immune system, clearing of neurological distress and rebalancing gut health by clearing bacterial, parasitic, fungal and viral infections the body is holding onto chronically. While a patient may begin Auricular Medicine with a specific intended goal such as clearing Lyme disease from their body, this exhaustive system of medicine innately addresses every aspect of one’s health and patients report an overall decrease in inflammation and pain, less brain fog, greater energy, stronger immune system, clearer skin, better mental health and more. It truly is a complete system that has the potential to reset one’s health trajectory.
We find the patients that do best with auricular medicine are those patients who have suffered for a long time without clear diagnoses or with a multiplicity of diagnoses. Auricular medicine works wonders for clearing Lyme disease and other tick born illnesses. It addresses inflammation at its root cause, so relief patients experience is long-lasting and sustainable. Furthermore, while a patient may come in with a specific concern or complaint, auricular medicine addresses the whole body and person, and therefore tends to deliver a long list of unexpected but welcome shifts towards greater health.
