FAQ

How many treatments are needed?

• This depends on how many allergies you have. We can generally treat one allergen family per treatment. We find that approximately 80% of cases require only one treatment per allergen family, while 20% of cases require more than one treatment. In some cases, such as a Wheat or Dairy allergy, due to the high number of components, it is not uncommon to split these groups into 2 treatments. A condition, (e.g. hayfever, eczema, asthma) usually has more than one allergen contributing to the symptoms and will require more than one treatment.
• Successful elimination of allergies/sensitivities may require clearing preliminary allergens first. If components of allergens are not cleared the items containing those components will remain allergenic. For example sugar will need to be treated before an allergy to dairy, grains, fruit or alcohol.

 

What if I don't know what I'm reacting to?

• At AAE we use a muscle strength indicator technique to test what you react to. We test against a wide range of food and airborne allergens.
• Our practitioners are trained to take a detailed patient history and have protocols to determine unknown sources of allergic reactions.
• In the initial consultation the practitioner isolates the triceps muscle in your arm and tests for the integrity of that muscle while you are exposed to a safe level of the allergen. Once we know what you are reacting to we can treat one allergen group per treatment.
  

Is there an age restriction for the treatments?

• We can treat any age, including infants.

How much does it cost?

• The initial appointment is $115 which includes identifying your allergies and the treatment of one allergen family. We can treat one allergen family per treatment.
• Follow-up treatments are $85 which includes the treatment of one allergen family.
• We have a concession rate for people over 65 years old who hold a current Government Centre link issued Aged Pension Concession card. $90/initial session and $60/follow-up.
• GST applies in Auckland.
• There are no additional costs.

How long will the benefits from the treatment last?

Once the allergy is cleared and the symptoms alleviated, the benefits from the treatment are generally long term. Approximately 20% of the cases require more than one treatment per allergen family and some patients do not respond to treatment.
