If you are searching for acupuncture for alpha-gal syndrome in Peachtree City, you may already know how isolating this condition can feel. Many people across Georgia, including those in Fayetteville, Tyrone, Senoia, Newnan and beyond, live with it for months or years and keep hearing the same advice: just avoid meat. Alan's story is a different kind of conversation.

Life before: "I couldn't eat meat"

Alan B. had alpha-gal syndrome once before. This time, he says, it was worse, and his IgE score was higher. Eating mammal meat led to anaphylaxis. In his words, "I couldn't eat meat." That is a frightening way to live, and it touches every meal, every cookout and every trip to the grocery store.

Alan drives in from Peachtree Corners to see us. He made the trip to Peachtree City because he wanted to try something new.

What treatment looked like

Alan saw Dr. Harris for 6 visits over 4 months. Visits were spaced about every 3 weeks. His treatment was a form of ear acupuncture for alpha-gal syndrome.

Asked about the experience itself, Alan said:

"treatment is super easy, painless."

He also had kind words for the whole team: "the staff at Peachtree City Acupuncture has been tremendous."

Life now

Near the end of his course of care, Alan shared this:

"this past week I had a bacon wrapped filet with no issues. Life is good."

He says he can eat red meat and interact with his cat, and that life at home is much better. He calls it "quite the miracle," and he says, "I would highly recommend it." Those are Alan's words and Alan's experience.

Who this story is for

If you are a hunter, a gardener or someone who loves being outdoors, and you are tired of being told to avoid meat and just be careful, this story is for you. It is also for the spouse, parent or friend who has been watching someone they love read every label twice. If that is you, please pass Alan's story along.

Acupuncture is not a replacement for the guidance of your allergist or your doctor. It can be part of your care, and we are glad to work alongside the people already helping you.
