Even our pets can have acute allergic reactions and chronic allergies, too. The types of allergies that can trouble our pets are not much different from those that bother us humans. Dogs and cats alike can experience allergy symptoms including digestive problems, ear infections, vomiting, picky appetite, dermatitis, and respiratory conditions such as asthma. These problems often become life-long issues that require ongoing veterinary monitoring and medication. Accelerated Intolerance Elimination Technique (AIET) is a revolutionary, holistic approach to allergy treatment that is giving many pets a healthier life.

What is an allergy?

An allergy is a body’s reaction to substances known as allergens. These substances can be toxins, such as cigarette smoke or pesticide; or non-toxins, such as pollen or a type of food.

Why does my pet have allergic reactions?

If a body interprets allergens as ‘threatening,’ it launches an immune response against them. When exposed to an allergen both humans and pets develop an excess of an antibody called Immunoglobulin E (IgE). These antibodies react with the ‘threatening allergens’ to release histamines from specialized cells. That response generates the symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, coughing, rash, headache, and even serious respiratory reactions.

What is Advanced Intolerance Elimination Technique for Allergies?

Accelerated Intolerance Elimination Technique is a natural, drugless, and non-invasive treatment system for eliminating allergies. The techniques were devised by Devi Nambudripad, a California-based chiropractor and acupuncturist. AIET is an approach that is based on theories and principles adapted and combined from applied kinesiology, acupuncture, acupressure, nutrition, and chiropractic. All of these holistic treatment modalities focus on retraining the brain and nervous system to no longer respond allergically to an allergen.

How does Accelerated Intolerance Elimination Technique Alleviate Allergies?

A series of AIET treatments ‘re-educates’ the body so that the immune system stops reacting defensively to allergens and accepts them as neutral substances. This is accomplished by stimulating certain acupuncture points in the body. Sensitivities to allergens are cleared one at a time with this technique and best results are obtained if allergens are cleared in a specific sequence. Depending on the individual’s tolerance, one or more items are cleared on a given day. Some people are highly sensitive and may sometimes require additional combination clearings.

Does AIET use needles like conventional allergy testing?

No. AIET is a natural, drugless, painless and non-invasive approach. It has been used on people of all ages and is now available for treating pets with allergies. We stimulate the acupuncture points associated with specific allergies with cold light lasers.

How do I know if Accelerated Intolerance Elimination Technique will Help My Pet?

At Main Street Veterinarians at Stone Mountain, we find that AIET leads to lasting and medication-free elimination of many types of allergies. You might consider your pet a candidate for AIET if you answer ‘yes’ to any of the following questions.

  • Does your pet routinely have problems with food or environmental allergies?
  • Have you tried other types of conventional or alternative health treatments for allergies, but had little success?
  • Does your pet seem to get better for a while, only to get worse again?

AEIT doesn’t just relieve or suppress the symptoms the way medications do. Rather, AEIT gets to the root cause of the allergic reaction and reverses it but teaching the body a new way of responding to the offensive substance. AEIT and related techniques have helped many pets live healthier, fuller lives.

If allergies have been interfering with your pet’s quality of life, and you have tried everything to give them relief, we invite you to contact our office to set-up a consultation. We will educate you about AEIT, address your concerns, answer your questions, and identify the holistic veterinary approaches that may be appropriate for your dog or cat.

Holistic Treatments Available at Main Street Vets of Stone Mountain

In addition to AEIT, Main Street Vets of Stone Mountain offers a variety of holistic veterinary treatments for your family pet.

Veterinarian Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM) is a holistic therapy that targets regions of the nervous system that are not communicating effectively with each other. A non-invasive approach, VOM works by re-establishing nerve communication. This holistic modality can be an appropriate treatment approach when a pet suffers an injury or for a pet that has a degenerative health condition. VOM is particularly helpful for managing and alleviating pain, which can change an animal’s quality of life and even their personality. VOM treatments can quickly and thoroughly facilitate your pet’s recovery.

Animal Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) was first developed for use in people and is now applied to animals. Another non-invasive, holistic approach, Nutrition Response Testing, involves an analysis of your pet’s health by testing neurological reflexes and acupressure points. The nutrition response testing is a study of how these reflexive points on the surface of the body relate to the state of health and flow of energy in each organ and body function. This testing will indicate the energy or lack of energy in your pet’s specific organs, tissues, or body functions.Nutrition Response Testing tells us when, how many, and what to use to bring about the desired result. Nutrition is healthier and longer lasting than synthetic drugs, and also tends to cost less than drugs. Nutrition interventions act as preventatives and help protect against future serious health issues.
