Introduction:

In this case study, we explore the journey of Dr. Helen Law, a Doctor of Acupuncture, licensed acupuncturist, and PhD, with over 23 years of experience at the time of her interview. Dr. Law practices in Princeton, New Jersey, and had been using Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT) for 15 years. She shares her experiences incorporating AAT into her practice and working with patients.

Background:

Dr. Law’s journey with AAT began in 2008 when she encountered information about the therapy. Before incorporating AAT, she primarily relied on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and acupuncture to address various health concerns, including seasonal allergy symptoms experienced by patients in her region. Seeking an additional approach, Dr. Law decided to explore AAT.

The Challenge:

Dr. Law describes finding that some patients’ allergy and sensitivity symptoms persisted despite her existing approaches. She wanted another option to complement her TCM services and support patients experiencing symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities.

The Transformation:

Interested in AAT’s potential role in her practice, Dr. Law completed training and learned its assessment and treatment protocols. She incorporated AAT into her work with patients whose concerns included food-related symptoms, sleep difficulties, digestive problems, and symptoms they associated with hormonal changes.

AAT also provided a needle-free option for patients who preferred that approach, including children who were uncomfortable with acupuncture needles.

Dr. Law describes incorporating AAT into a practice serving patients across age groups, from infants to older adults.

The Results:

Dr. Law shares several patient experiences that have been meaningful to her work with AAT. One involved a nine-month-old baby who was refusing many foods. She reports that the baby began eating more and gaining weight within days of AAT sessions focused on substances associated with nutrition.

In another case, she describes a 16-year-old with a history of recurrent vomiting who reported relief following AAT sessions. Her approach explored possible food-related sensitivities and factors she associated with nerve responses.

These individual accounts reflect Dr. Law’s observations rather than establishing the cause of the symptoms or a predictable response to treatment.

Conclusion:

Dr. Helen Law’s journey with AAT reflects her interest in adding another approach to her TCM and acupuncture services. She values having a needle-free option and describes AAT as an important part of her work with patients experiencing symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities.

Her patient experiences and the support she receives from the AAT team have shaped her continued enthusiasm for the system.

Testimonial:

“I’ve practiced acupuncture for many years, and AAT has become a valuable addition to my work. I appreciate having a needle-free option for patients, including children who are uncomfortable with acupuncture. I’ve worked with patients across different age groups and have seen improvements that have been meaningful to them. The support from the AAT team has been outstanding, from timely assistance to help with equipment updates. I value both the system and the ongoing support, and I encourage practitioners to explore how AAT could fit alongside their existing services.”
