Riley
Riley was diagnosed with Alpha-gal last fall. She experienced hives that would not go away after eating beef one day. Shortly after she tested positive for the tick-borne illness.
She completed her SAAT therapy by having a tiny needle in her ear for three weeks. She can now, if she chooses, slowly start reintroducing mammal products into her diet while watching her symptoms. She can worry less about cross contamination when she eats out. She hopes to be in full remission!!!!

Update on Riley
“I am so happy to announce that after following a slow reintroduction following my needle removal I have been able to enjoy any food that I like. I have had no reactions at all. Before I would experience hives, itchy throat and racing heart. I have enjoyed beef, pork, deer and dairy with zero issues! I am so thankful for Dr. Josh and this treatment so I can be a normal college student again. I will continue to monitor my reactions and carry my epi-pen for safety. Thank you Vance Chiropractic!!!”
We are so excited for Riley! We always advise our patients to continue to follow all of their restrictions and keep their epi-pen. SAAT is used to reduce reactions to cross contamination and accidental exposure to your allergen. SAAT is used to treat Alpha-gal along with other allergies.
We are taking appointments now for SAAT. Give our office a call at 417-732-4000.
Josh
This happy young man is Josh! His dad shared his story on Facebook to help others who may be in the same situation.
“Josh recently got the SAAT treatment for his allergies, including Alpha Gal, from Vance Chiropractic & Wellness. Listen… I know non-FDA treatments can seem like a hoax. But this stuff truly works! No reactions to not just red meat but several other things caused by Mass Cell Activation Syndrome and a high Histamine intolerance. He is like a completely different kid. His energy is way up, his mental health is so much better, he isn’t constantly pale, and he doesn’t always feel sick. Pictured is his first time having steak post treatment. If you are struggling with Alpha Gal or other allergies I highly recommend considering SAAT treatments! We gave it a shot after hearing several other success stories from people we know and trust, not just random facebook post. Now we get to be one of them!”
Layton
Meet Layton! His dad asked us to share his success story to help others who may be in the same situation. Layton was diagnosed with Alpha Gal last year. His family came to see Dr Josh for SAAT.
SAAT is a one time treatment for allergies. It has been very successful in treating Alpha Gal a tick borne allergy to mammal products.
Check out the following update from Layton’s dad!
“Early April Layton had the needles removed. I’m not going to lie or sugar coat it, we dove in pretty quick in getting him back to meat. Right after we left, Layton had a bite of steak at Flat Creek. After about 48 hours and no issues, we tried a few pieces of summer sausage. 48 hours later, I decided to give it a go and he ate a whole cheeseburger. So far, about 2 months after the needles, we have had 0 issues. Layton is eating freely and has enjoyed the promises that we made to him, including jalepeno cheese summer sausage and an entire fresh steak. I can’t thank y’all enough for this and Layton is doing fantastic! He was also treated for a cedar allergy at the same time and it seems that he no longer reacts to those either!”
We love to hear success stories just like this! We treat children as young as 4 years old with this specialized acupuncture treatment.

I was shocked that this worked for me! After almost 3 years of Alpha Gal, I decided to give SAAT a try.It was the craziest way to be diagnosed and I was treated with acupuncture for 4 weeks. I’m not eating meat all the time but able to handle it from time to time. The best part is that I’m no longer afraid of cross contamination. Thank you to Dr. Vance and his staff!
After 4 years with no smell, I asked Vance if they could help restore my smell after I heard testimonies on other issues being solved with acupuncture! Though it would be worth a shot! After 2 weeks 70% restored and 4 weeks 100% restored! Thank you so much! Plus they can do so much more than just smell!
I had very severe symptoms of alpha gal, hives, vomiting, diarrhea, for 4 years and heard about Dr. Vance. Made an appointment for testing and confirmed AlphaGal histamine and Mast Cell. Dr Vance inserted 3 needles one for each and I have had no issues with any of the 3 since. I highly recommend this procedure for anyone suffering from this type of issue. Great doctor and staff.
I cannot praise Dr. Vance and his staff enough! I was so frustrated with my Alpha-Gal diagnosis and my dramatic weight loss. After my SAAT procedure I’m eating mammalian products again and am feeling so much healthier. I’m gaining weight and whole-heartedly believe in Dr. Vance and his procedures. I cannot recommend Dr. Vance enough. Thank you!
I was allergic to everything it seemed. I had alpha-gal, mast cell, & high histamine. Had problems with dairy and constant gastric problems. Constant inflammation. We did 4 needles for 4 weeks & I’m testing negative for everything we treated. Another month later, I’m still negative!
Thanksgiving 2021 I began to have symptoms of facial swelling, joint pain, and brain fog along with constant diarrhea and headaches. I was diagnosed with Alpha-Gal syndrome and restricted to a red meat and dairy free diet that eliminated most everything from grocery shelves and I was still sick from hidden food ingredients and cross contamination. Dr. Vance treated me with two needles in the SAAT treatment and after one month removed them. My goal was to stop getting sick but have found that I can now eat anything I wish without problems and my mind is clear without any symptoms at all! The treatment has worked 100% for me and worth everything. Thanks Dr. Vance!
