About Egg Allergy
Eggs are one of the most common food allergens. People with an allergy to chicken eggs may also be allergic to other types of eggs, such as goose, duck, turkey or quail. The most common allergenic proteins in eggs are ovomucoid and ovalbumin, found in the egg white.
Treatment for Egg Allergy
At Franklin Acupuncture, we specialize in a treatment for egg allergy called Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT). SAAT was developed by Dr. Nader Soliman, an innovator in the field of auricular (ear) acupuncture. Compared to immunotherapies and other holistic therapies, SAAT has been found to provide the most effective results. Ultimately, the outcome of receiving SAAT for egg allergy is complete elimination of the allergic reactions. We provide egg allergy treatment for patients in Tennessee and surrounding areas such as Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, and Illinois.
In conventional medicine, there are several options to mitigate the severity of reactions, such as avoidance, immunotherapy (oral immunotherapy, sublingual immunotherapy), epinephrine, over-the-counter antihistamines (Allegra, Claritin, Benadryl, etc) and prescribed antihistamines (Xolair). Immunotherapies for egg allergy require an extended period of time to desensitize the patient. They also require that the patient is exposed to egg at small incremental doses. Epinephrine is intended to stop severe reactions once they have begun; it does not stop the reactions from occurring in the first place.
Elimination of egg allergy utilizing SAAT does not require the patient to be exposed to the allergen. SAAT also does not require an extended period of time to address the egg allergy. Depending on what is found at the initial evaluation, the length of treatment is three to ten weeks.
