Achieve Optimal Wellness with SAAT and Auricular Medicine

SAAT

SAAT is Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment. A ground-breaking, patented acupuncture technique developed by Dr. Nader Soliman MD; based upon earlier work of the French Physician Dr. Paul Nogier MD. 

A tiny 3 mm semipermanent needle is inserted in the ear for three to four weeks to calm the storm of allergic response.

Alpha-gal Syndrome, Mold sensitivity, MCAS, environmental and food allergies, all can be treated with SAAT and AM.

Auricular Medicine (ear acupuncture)

 Is Auricular Medicine Right for You?

Use this checklist to see if your symptoms align with the advanced desensitization and neurological protocols offered in our Bloomington office.


1. Specialized Allergy Remission (SAAT)

  • Alpha-Gal Syndrome: Do you experience delayed allergic reactions (hives, GI distress, or anaphylaxis) after eating red meat or mammalian products?
  • Food Sensitivities: Do dairy, gluten, nuts, or shellfish cause recurring inflammation or discomfort?
  • Environmental Triggers: Are you struggling with seasonal pollens, MOLD, dust mites, or pet dander?
  • Chemical & Medication Reactions: Do you have sensitivities to fragrances, latex, or specific pharmaceuticals?


2. Chronic Pain & Neurological Support

  • Headaches & Migraines: Are you seeking a non-pharmaceutical way to reduce the frequency and intensity of severe headaches?
  • Nerve & Joint Pain: Do you deal with sciatica, low back pain, or persistent joint discomfort?
  • Post-Viral Issues: Are you managing long-term symptoms like "brain fog" or fatigue following a viral illness?


3.  Internal & Systemic Health

  • Digestive Disorders: Do you experience recurring GI distress, such as IBS symptoms or acid reflux?
  • Sleep & Stress: Are insomnia, chronic anxiety, or high stress levels impacting your quality of life?
  • Hormonal & Metabolic Balance: Are you looking for support with menstrual irregularities or metabolic regulation?


Why do these conditions respond to Auricular Medicine?

The ear is a "neurological microsystem," stimulating specific points can directly influence the brain's regulation of your body's systems. With 30 years of clinical experience and specialized certification in SAAT, I use these precise, yet variable "ear maps" to help your body stop overreacting to harmless triggers and return to a state of balance.

 MEET THE PRACTITIONER:

 Dr. Julie Salzbrunn BS DC


  • 30 years of clinical experience as a board-certified Chiropractor and Acupuncturist; since 2021 I have been a certified practitioner of Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT). Additional and ongoing study of comprehensive Auricular Therapy (AT) and Auricular Medicine (AM) enables the treatment of allergies, MCAS, MOLD sensitivity and systemic dysfunction.
  • A Shift in Focus: In 2021, I transitioned my practice to focus exclusively on the Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT) and Auricular Medicine.
  • Specialized Training: Beyond allergy desensitization, my advanced training in auricular therapy allows me to treat the whole person by utilizing the ear as a neurological gateway to the entire body.


TREATMENTS:

               

  • SAAT for Allergies: Long-term remission for Alpha-Gal Syndrome, food sensitivities (gluten, dairy, nuts), and environmental triggers.
  • Chronic Pain & Neurological Issues: Relief for migraines, sciatica, and joint discomfort.
  • Systemic & Functional Disorders: Addressing insomnia, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalances.
  • Stress & Emotional Health: Targeted protocols for anxiety, PTSD, and addiction recovery.


The Science: Why the Ear?


  • A Neurological Micro-System: The ear contains a map of the entire body. By stimulating precise points, we can "reprogram" the autonomic nervous system to stop overreacting to allergens or to regulate organ function.
  • Auricular Medicine vs. Standard Acupuncture 


While traditional acupuncture follows meridians, Auricular Medicine targets specific projection sites on the ear that correspond directly to affected tissues and organs.


5. What to Expect


  • Precision Testing: We identify active points through bioenergetic testing and electrical detection.
  • Minimal Intervention: Treatment involves a single, tiny (3mm) needle or semi-permanent "seeds" that stay in place for several weeks to provide continuous stimulation.
  • Sustained Relief: Most patients experience significant, long-lasting reduction in symptoms with a single procedure per trigger.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome MCAS

MCAS: Mast Cell Activation Syndrome may be detected with specialized bio energetic testing. SAAT addresses MCAS by calming the storm of histamine sensitivity. A tiny semi-permanent needle, 3mm, is inserted painlessly into the outer ear and stays put for four weeks. Along with bio-energetic sprays, the SAAT treatment calms the histamine storm and gives relief from allergy symptoms. MCAS is often a co-morbidity for other conditions, such as tick borne disease diseases like Lyme and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, as well as connective tissue disorders, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hyper mobility. The overactive immune system can be calmed with SAAT and the underlying disease can be addressed by Auricular Medicine to help restore a natural balance to histamine function.



REVIEWS


 

“Dr. Julie Salzbrunn treated me for Alpha Gal with SAAT acupuncture.  Dr. Julie is an excellent caring doctor and I highly recommend her.  The procedure is virtually painless and easy to follow.  I have suffered from Alpha Gal syndrome for over 30 years.  Since I had the procedure about 2 years ago, I have not had another flare up.  Before when I had an attack of Alpha Gal poisoning, I knew it right away.  It was horrible:  severe cramping, severe diarrhea, etc.  I had avoided beef and still would get accidentally poisoned by well meaning people.  I thank Dr. Salzbrunn for your treatment.  I rate Dr. Julie 5 out of 5 stars!!”
