Dr. Anthony Gordon, a listed certified SAAT provider in North New Hyde Park, NY, offers SAAT, an ear acupuncture technique, for people with alpha-gal syndrome, alongside the care of their allergist.
-- NORTH NEW HYDE PARK, NY. Dr. Anthony Gordon Acupuncture offers SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment) for alpha-gal syndrome at 1508 Union Turnpike, Suite 133. Dr. Gordon is a listed certified SAAT provider on Dr. Nader Soliman's official practitioner list.
Alpha-gal syndrome is an allergy to alpha-gal, a sugar molecule found in most mammals but not in humans. In the United States it is mainly linked to lone star tick bites. After a bite, some people begin reacting to beef, pork, lamb and other mammal products they used to eat without trouble. Reactions often begin 2 to 6 hours after eating, which makes them easy to miss. Suffolk County had more suspected cases from 2017 to 2022 than any other county in the country, according to a CDC analysis.
What SAAT involves
SAAT is an ear acupuncture technique developed by Dr. Soliman. While the patient holds a sealed vial of the allergen, Dr. Gordon scans the ear's allergy zone with a point finder; the allergen is not given. One to six tiny implants, each about 3 mm long, are placed under skin-colored bandages and stay in for about three weeks. Most patients need one or two treatments.
How SAAT works is not yet known. The only published study is a 2021 case series with no comparison group, and results vary from person to person.
"SAAT does not replace allergist care. Patients keep carrying epinephrine and talk with their allergist before reintroducing any trigger food," said Dr. Gordon.
A severe reaction is an emergency: use epinephrine as directed and call 911. Anyone not yet diagnosed should see a physician first.
