Introduction:

In this case study, we explore the experience of Dr. Christine Garvey, a Doctor of Chiropractic based in Clinton, New Jersey. She owns and operates Allergy Breakthrough Center on Main Street in Clinton. Dr. Garvey shares her personal experience with Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT) and how it became a central part of her practice.

Background:

Dr. Christine Garvey had battled allergies, eczema, psoriasis, and various sensitivities from a very young age. Her personal health struggles led her on a lifelong quest for solutions. Prior to returning to her home state of New Jersey, Dr. Garvey had a chiropractic practice in San Francisco. She was seeking alternative treatments for relief when she discovered AAT through Dr. James Stalker, who introduced her to the therapy.

The Challenge:

Dr. Garvey faced a lifetime of health challenges, including debilitating eczema, spastic colon, and psoriasis, digestive issues, and multiple sensitivities. These conditions took a toll on her physical and emotional well-being. Conventional treatments, including medications and creams, provided only temporary relief and came with side effects. She was seeking an additional approach to addressing her symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities.

Her Experience:

Dr. Garvey reports that, after receiving AAT treatment for symptoms she associated with tomatoes, she was able to consume tomato products without experiencing her previous symptoms. Her personal experience inspired her to bring AAT to her community. She opened her own AAT practice, which would later become the “Allergy Breakthrough Center.”

The Results:

AAT became a central part of Dr. Garvey’s practice. She reports that it comprises 80–85% of her practice and describes it as an important part of the care she offers her patients.

Conclusion:

Dr. Christine Garvey’s experience as an AAT patient led her to incorporate the therapy into her professional practice. Her personal experience and commitment to supporting patients with symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities continue to shape her work.

Testimonial:

“It changed my life personally first and then completely professionally.”
