With nearly 500,000 Americans now affected by tick-induced meat allergy, a peer-reviewed study reports almost unbelievable results using a little-known form of ear acupuncture.
Its the same thing with medical doctors. You don't know if your new doctor graduated 400th out of his class of 400!
I tried three chiropractors until I found my right one, and he aligned my spine, put it back where its meant to be, and I feel like I did when I was in high school!
As a botanical-medicine clinician who works with folks afflicted with tick-transmitted infections, I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see this study! Thank you so very, VERY much, Nic!
Your Substack newsletter has been my favorite among the many to which I subscribe and I frequently link your fine research on my clinic Facebook page. (Your previous reference to the study showing colostrum is superior to the flu shot was priceless--life-saving, to be sure--just like your present post.) Keep up the fantastic work!
Great information! I became curious about acupunture when my mother has gall stone surgery and the forward thinking hospital told her she could have medication for pain or acupunture. She said it was amazing." They put needles in my shin and took away pain in my gut." When I moved to a cold damp climate and developed sinus problem I was continuously on antibiotics. I knew that was not a good route. So I found an acupunturist. Needles in the face, needles in the back and some powder that was lit on fire. About six treatments over six weeks. That was 40 years ago. Never had a problem again. How does it work? Energy lines that run through our body? I am not so concerned about how it works. There is so much in the world I don't understand. Older cultures, ancient wisdom, certainly worth looking into.
Touching the exterior of a vial of al-Gal allergen is very unlikely to transmit any material information to the body of the toucher.
So, absent any material transmission of information, how does a portion of the ear become reactive? And why the ear?
I'm not one to dispute the evidence of case studies, but am not disposed to accept magic.
Nic Hulscher offered no plausible mechanism of action.
Perhaps there's some sort of psychosomatic transition following the acupuncture that attenuates the allergic response. Maybe a bit of metal oxide dissolves into the plasma off the acupuncture needle, over its 3 weeks of residence, that somehow modifies the allergic response.
It'd be nice if there were some sort of objective before/after test showing a physical change, e.g., in some immunoglobulin titer, preceding the perceived loss of allergy to mammalian food products.
That's a strange cure that makes me want to know more, like how and why it works. There's a lot we don't know yet about the incredible biology and systems that give us life.
With a very quick analysis the homeopathic remedy that seems most appropriate is Arsenicum album. It sounds like what it is, a remedy made from Arsenic, which seems crazy but every conventional drug has "side effects" (i.e. effects) that match its indications (i.e. what it is prescribed for). For example they use Ritalin, an upper, to treat hyperactive kids. Con-med is only matching on a few symptoms. Whereas Homeopathy cures a condition with a remedy that will cause the full constellation of mental, emotional and physical symptoms that the patient is experiencing. Its best that you go to a homeopathic prescriber for this serious condition but in the mean time you can try this remedy once or twice in a 30c or 200c potency and determine if it is beneficial.
Thank you so much for this valuable information!
There's a reason acupuncture has been used for centuries, because it works!
If only we had the first idea of how or why, and a consistent way to identify the different schools and practices of acupuncture.
It clearly has an effect. Unfortunately it's like chiropractors and practitioners and effects at hit and miss.
If only there were private accreditation firms, instead of government enforced monopolies.
Its the same thing with medical doctors. You don't know if your new doctor graduated 400th out of his class of 400!

Why do you say Ouch when someone steps on your toe? The whole body is connected. We are not biochemical meat machines.
That answer doesn't provide any factual information or resolve any of the questions.
How does the patient touching the label of a bottle make a difference?
What is the root cause of this and how do we stop it?
That's a strange cure that makes me want to know more, like how and why it works. There's a lot we don't know yet about the incredible biology and systems that give us life.
There's hope for those who are not plant-free, carnivores. You don't have to worry about Alpha-Gal if you don't eat plants, which are all poisonous.
I have indigestion all the time due to gastroparesis. I wonder if this would help people like me.

Amazing! 👏👏👏
It is for projects like this, I feel, that the NIH is perfectly suited:
RCT or other adapted experiment to back this up.
-- no profit incentivized corporation cares to drop dime #1 on this
-- a great change of scenery for them, away from vaccine "approvers" and colluders.
