Dr. Shawn Weeks Grows Acupuncture Practice Using Needle-Free Allergy Treatment System

My name is Dr. Shawn Weeks. I started using AAT in my practice about ten years ago. Since then my practice has only grown and grown and I heartily recommend it both because it's effective and will change people's lives but also because it's really useful as a business tool, it's both grown my practice and changed my patients lives. Before using the Advanced Allergy Therapeutics Expert System, allergies were always one of those things that I felt like could be better, it was something in my own life that I had suffered with significantly but also in my clinical life it was one of those things so many people suffering from so many symptoms related to allergies or sensitivities or just I don't feel good when I'm around stuff and because of that it was really hard sometimes to say well that's too bad I'm really sorry for you but I don't know that I can do a whole lot to help you with that, I can maybe relieve things a little bit but that's just a problem you're going to have for forever and that's been one of the biggest things that's changed ever since using AAT. So what I've tried before that didn't work as well as I wanted it to I'd create custom herbal formulas and those were both time consuming, cumbersome, expensive and with mixed results. Sometimes people are like yay I feel much better for a couple months or then they would quit taking the herbs or then things would move on or if I was trying to cure things because they weren't willing to take herbs which is a pretty common problem. They wouldn't get significantly better from acupuncture alone and I just really wanted to have something more to offer to treat those symptoms. Since using AAT my patients results have improved. I love it because I have a neurological focus in my acupuncture practice and so when I can combine AAT with my acupuncture techniques I find I get a better net result. For instance I treat a lot of ADD and ADHD that's specialty within it and being able to have them treated with AAT for symptoms associated with things like food coloring, sugar, gluten things like that then that really helps reset the baseline so that when we're working with acupuncture their brain is much calmer, they have less severe reactions and they have an easier time accepting and working with the treatment and I find that it dovetails really nicely together with my practice and so having a both, and has made things so much easier for me and so much better for my patients. One of the things I love about AAT is because it's painless, because it's needle free. I've totally had people come into the office that are terrified of needles but they're suffering from all these other things then I have an option that is pain free, needle free, no injury, no worries, no suffering and so they're like well I guess I could try that and then a lot of times they'll come in we'll do the treatments that we needed to do with AAT and over that time they've gotten to know me, they've gotten to trust me and then there's a chance that if there's something I can fix with acupuncture as well they are much, much more receptive and they're like well okay since you've made me feel so much better already I guess I'll try a couple needles and see if I can feel better that way, too. So a nice gentler segue especially when I'm working with kids, Its much less scary. AAT therapy has been fairly easy to learn. I left a little bit of margin on my time margin on my first set of treatments with AAT for probably the first month or two when I was first getting into it and practicing the technique and understanding and getting really good at the muscle isolation testing portion of but as time went on I've gotten faster and faster and it's the therapy itself is very straightforward, very easy to understand and very intuitive so in terms of after the fairly straightforward training implementing it wasn't difficult. I would recommend AAT to everybody. It has made such a world of difference in my own life personally helping me with all the myriad issues I've had over the years, I've seen it change my family, thanksgiving dinner is not the same, it's much more fun. There's so much more that I've seen in my own life, in my family's life and then now for over a decade in the lives of my patients. It is beautiful to see the changes that we get to make with AAT absolutely wholeheartedly with everything in me I recommend this not just as a business thing but also as a way to make the world a better world to live in, it's a great thing and we should all do it.
