Conditions treated with ATT

Sinusitis

  • Sinusitis is the most commonly reported chronic disease, affecting nearly 32 million Americans
  • There are very few treatments available that can successfully treat sinusitis
  • Drug therapy temporarily reduces symptoms
  • Most AAT patients report temporary relief after opting for a surgical procedure to correct a deviated septum. Results were typically followed by an eventual return of the symptoms.
  • AAT maintains a high success rate in the treatment of sinusitis

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome is a disorder characterized most commonly by cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea

As many as 20 percent of the adult population, or one in five Americans, has symptoms of IBS

  • One of the most common disorders diagnosed by doctors
  • Etiology unknown in conventional medicine
  • AAT maintains a high success rate in the treatment of IBS

Acid Reflux

  • Acid Reflux (GERD) affects nearly one third of the adult population of the United States to some degree at least once a month
  • Almost 10% of adults experience acid reflux weekly or daily. Infants and children can have acid reflux
  • Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) act by irreversibly blocking the proton pump of the gastric parietal cell

PPI drugs are among the most widely-selling drugs in the world

By 2000, Prilosec was the most prescribed drug in the world, with annual global sales reaching $6 billion

Once treatment for GERD is begun it usually will need to be continued indefinitely

  • Most commonly caused by allergies or sensitivities
  • Successfully treated with AAT (if physiological impairment not a causative factor)
  • No surgery, drugs or side effects

Hidden Allergies

  • A significant number of conditions and undiagnosed symptoms are caused by hidden allergies
  • AAT protocols assist in identifying the substances responsible for hidden allergies
  • A broad range of symptoms may be addressed

Case Study: 43 year-old woman experienced shortness of breath, wheezing and fatigue

  • The patient was asked when the onset of symptoms occurred
  • Patient reported that the symptoms began five months prior after being ill with the flu
  • Further query focused on medications or remedies that were taken at that time
  • Patient was treated for a prolonged reaction to antibiotics
  • Patient reported that debilitating symptoms had resolved within 24 hours after treatment
  • Allopathic recommendation for the condition: stronger antibiotics

Allergies vs Sensitivities

  • True food allergies are based on a reaction to a specific protein of a food
  • True food allergies are estimated to affect less than 2 percent of adults and 4 to 8 percent of young children and infants
  • Food sensitivities are much more common
  • Sensitivities are abnormal reactions to food or food components that do not involve the immune system, but involve the body as a whole
  • Sensitivities involve non-IgE mediated allergic diseases and pseudo-allergic reactions

Metabolic Food Disorder

  • Occurs when a person is genetically unable to properly or fully metabolize a food component
  • Lactose intolerance (inability to metabolize lactose)
  • Favism (genetic deficiency causing a sensitivity to a chemical in fava beans)

Food Idiosyncrasy

  • Abnormal response to a food or food component
  • Mechanism for the response is unknown
  • Symptoms can resemble those of an allergy and can be either severe or mild

Anaphylactoid Response

  • Elicits the same release of histamine as a true food allergy
  • Does not involve the immune system
  • The specific substance that causes this reaction has not yet been identified by allopathic medicine
  • The response is not the same as anaphylaxis

Food Sensitivities

  • Lack of scientific research on food sensitivities and other sensitivities
  • Statistics are misleading that only 2-8% of the population has food allergies
  • Food sensitivities are on par with the global rise in allergies in developed countries
  • No medical treatment available
