How A.R.T. Works
Identify The Toxins And Other Stressors
The process kicks off with a 90-minute initial evaluation. After a general health history assessment, we use a non-invasive machine to identify the toxins and other stressors that are overloading the immune system. That information allows us to determine the best approach for strengthening the persons immune system, so allergic responses to foods or other benign substances can be detected.
Strengthen The Immune System
Throughout the rest of the process there are mandatory weekly 30-minute follow up visits, where we continue to work on strengthening and resetting the individuals immune system. As the system’s balance is being restored, we also evaluate its response to the five priority allergens (mold, dust, additives, chemicals and sugars) and perform a non-invasive sensitivity screening for more than 200 food allergies. This enables us to identify and address any additional underlying sensitivities contributing to the immune systems overload.
Alleviate The Fear
We also use mind-body techniques to alleviate the fear of another allergic reaction. This is especially important for individuals who previously experienced the trauma of an anaphylactic reaction to food. Just the thought of eating (or even touching) the food can set off a severe anxiety response, which triggers the same mechanism in the brain as an allergy response. If someone is too afraid to eat the food, their food will be too hyper vigilant to call off the allergy response.
Reintroduce The Allergen
Once we strengthen the immune system and can calm the anxiety response, we can slowly and safely reintroduce foods or resolve other immune conditions and ultimately, enable the person to eat freely and live fully.
