Balanced healing unifies the objective – symptoms and medical advances – with the subjective – impacts of environment, emotions and traditional healing techniques
Few practitioners fuse scientific and traditional medical approaches in practice. For over twenty-five years, Dr Villanova has uniquely merged varied approaches to promote body/mind healing: robust therapeutic procedures, herbal and pharmaceutical prescriptions, as well as dietary and health-behavior counsel

Allergies occur when the immune system detects something from the environment inside the body (an antigen), then produces an IgE–type antibody in response. The antigen and antibody combine, then irritate respiratory tract’s lining and/or the skin (most commonly). This irritation triggers inflammation, releases histamine and results in the itch, runny nose/eyes, sneeze, and cough commonly experienced. With asthma, inflammation triggers the lung’s muscular breathing tubes to contract, producing airway closure
Conventional therapies include avoidance, antihistamines, rescue inhalers (beta agonists, asthma), steroids/immune modulation, immunotherapy (‘allergy shots’) and epinephrine for anaphylaxis

technique – allergy relief acupuncture – SAAT
1–4 of very small, thin needles are placed under the ear’s skin and remain in place for 3 weeks
allergen is avoided as much as possible
after needle removal
those with milder allergies may introduce very small amounts of the allergen (such as food, pets, etc) – response is monitored
goal is to attenuate or eliminate allergic responses to the allergen
those with very severe reactions and anaphylaxis must continue strict allergen avoidance & carrying epinephrine, antihistamines and/or steroid
goal is to attenuate possible accidental allergen exposure
this simple and effective ear acupuncture allergy desensitization technique was developed by Nader Soliman MD. Dr. Soliman combined Auricular Acupuncture Therapy expertise (Paul Nogier MD) with resonance-testing to produce this highly effective desensitization technique – SAAT: Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment. In June 2014, Dr. Soliman published research reporting on treated patients who later demonstrated allergy desensitization on objective blood &/or skin testing. Dr Villanova has provided this service since 2014 to remarkable success
