🚨 Alpha-Gal Syndrome is a sneaky allergy triggered by tick bites — and it’s on the rise in the DMV. 😩 Caused usually by the Lone Star tick, it can make you allergic to red meat and even dairy or gelatin. 😬🥩

But here’s the good news:
✨ SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment) is showing real promise — and it's not just anecdotal.

📚 In fact, the NIH published a peer-reviewed case series validating SAAT’s effectiveness in eliminating Alpha-Gal symptoms with 96% efficacy. 🙌

SAAT is a non-invasive ear acupuncture technique that targets allergy response at the root.

✅ No meds
✅ No ongoing treatments
✅ Just some (very) tiny needles — and major sustainable relief

If you or someone you love is struggling with Alpha-Gal, this will be a game-changer.

I keep coming back to a documentary by Tom Shadyac that came out in 2011. Shadyac, the producer of the most famous Jim Carrey movies, suffered a terrible concussion after a mountain biking accident that left him suicidal when the symptoms did not lift. Eventually when his symptoms did improve, he made some massive life changes, and set out to interview some of the world's most influential scientists and philosophers to answer the question, "what is the meaning of life?"

You should go watch the documentary--it's worth the hour and change it takes to get through it. But one part that has always stuck with me since I saw it a decade and a half ago, were his conclusions on compassion. Drawing from neuroscience, biology and social sciences, it is concluded that humans have evolved as long as we have *because of* cooperation and compassion for mankind, and that without it, it would be evolutionarily impossible for us to continue to exist.

Having empathy for your fellow mankind isn't some extra trait some of us acquire because of certain life experiences; it is the hardware of a healthy nervous system, and the infrastructure of a society that thrives. I found myself today thinking about this--that if we could all just begin to understand that beyond our individuality, we are collective, and therefore, when we hurt one another, we hurt all of us--if we could just all come to understand this--we could advance so far and avoid so much pain.

If you are having a hard time right now because your nervous system, whether it has ever articulated this or not *already knows this,* just know that you are not alone. It's okay to be hurting right now, to feel angry, to feel confused or even frozen. This *isn't* normal. But on the other side of the most painful experiences in history have always been reform. Always remember, the first steps into the light will still be in darkness, but the day will surely come.
