History

Established in 2009.

Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT) is a clinically proven treatment that is highly effective in relieving the many symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities. It is a therapeutic approach that evolved from over 19 years of collaborative research from health care professionals in the fields of acupuncture, naturopathy and chiropractic.

All holistic fields of medicine are aligned in the approach to treat the whole body. They share the understanding that health conditions may develop as a result of interference in proper functioning caused by various forms of stress or other factors. Reducing the stress or interference allows for optimal health. When the specific organ system is supported and stress is reduced, the whole body is able to respond more appropriately.

It is the hyperactivity or stressed state that gives rise to many of the symptoms associated with sensitivities. By gently & safely treating the organ system involved, the body is able to respond more appropriately.

I had been on 40mg of prednisone for 2 & ½ years. The prednisone made my rash more tolerable but the side effects of the prednisone were becoming worse than the actual rash. A friend told me about Christine and the treatment she provided. I had been off of the prednisone for about five months and the rash was gaining strength again and making me miserable. After four visits with Christine, seeing her once a week and taking some Chinese herbs to assist in circulation and «cooling», the rash was gone and it hasn’t come back. For the first time in 2 years and ten months, I don’t have a burning, itching, nerve aching rash. She has also been successful in treating me with other allergies, so for the first time in my adult life (I am 51) I haven’t had to take an allergy medicine every morning. I am so thankful for not only the success of the treatment but Christine’s style and care. She always treats me like I am her only patient in the whole world and gives me her time and her attention. I am beyond thankful!

Here’s the thing. I had a very serious allergy — the type that when I was exposed to the allergen I would get huge welts all over my body and serious anaphylaxis type symptoms. One of my friends told me about her and the success she had, so I said, what the heck, I’ll give it a try because the cost was comparable to what you’d spend in allergy medicine alone and much much less than trips to the ER. Lo and behold, after one treatment, I was cured. I was super skeptical about the treatment, so when I knew I was at risk for exposure to the allergen after the treatment, I was still armed with my epi-pen, my Benadryl, and other emergency things just in case I had a bad reaction. Amazingly, no reaction. I can’t explain it and don’t know why it worked, it just did. Its been a year now, and I’m still good. I can’t tell you how grateful I am and what a relief it is, and the freedom it has given me to do things, allergy free. I am so thankful.

I saw Dr. Garvey last Spring (2013) for the worst allergy year of my life. I couldn’t take it any longer. I’ve had allergies since 9^th grade and have visited Ear/Nose Throat doctors since but last year was terrible.
Dr. Garvey identified four major irritants that were causing me trouble (the same ones my western medicine needle test identified). Cats, Dogs, Dust and Pollen. She treated me for ONE allergen that was most active at that time — Pollen spores. I was suffering horribly with a runny nose, itchy watery eyes, a congested ear canal and postnasal drip. My ENT had me using a steroid nasal spray and zyrtec indefinitely which I hated taking. After my 1^st appointment my symptoms lessened and I went back about 6 months later to work through the dust allergen (wish I had resolved that one before moving out of my dusty house)
Today, 4÷10÷14, talking with another mom who is suffering with hay fever symptoms I realized I hadn’t even noticed it was allergy season. I have no symptoms — nothing. I am so happy to say that it really did work for me and I will be back again to resolve my dog/cat issues because I will not allow allergies to prevent me from owning a pet any longer.
As for the people it didn’t work for and seem to want to blame Dr. Garvey for their suffering — well I’m sorry for them because it really does work for some people, including me and another friend I’ve referred to ABC.
The high-tech highly sensitive system she uses is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and identifies thousands of potential allergens and which meridian the culprit is affecting. (i.e. lung, stomach, heart, etc.) It’s fascinating and accurate — based in a 5,000+ year old system of health and wellbeing. She spent time answering all my questions and explaining to me what was going on and how it was working.
If you have allergies and open to alternative treatments that may help you alleviate your suffering you should try this. If you are looking to be convinced that you have terrible allergies that nothing can resolve you should skip this and try another prescription…

Be very careful.
1. Dr. Garvey told me she had 100% success rate treating cat dander/hair allergies. Come to see in regular and filtered reviews here on Unilocal that she did not tell the truth about this.
2. Dr. Garvey promised to retreat me and make sure I was allergy free. After two treatments, she told me to see another doctor and would not stand by her promise.
3. When I reacted with asthma and post nasal drip to my cats 3 hours after her treatment, she reprimanded via a text message for not waiting 24 hours before telling her I reacted, even though it was obvious the treatment was unsuccessful 3 hours later.
4. My symptoms did not improve with two treatments.
I imagine she may put a creative response to my complaint here on Unilocal,as she did with others who were unhappy with her services.
Go to a reputable doctor, would be my advice.

Dr Garvey changed my life! I used to be trapped in my house with my allergies. Im finally able to go outside and enjoy the weather. Im so excited that its Fall now too.
This works! And her approach and style are the best I’ve ever seen. Finally found a fix for my Allergy problem. I guess thats why they call it «Breakthrough Center!»
Thank you for al your help and support!

I just saw a negative response about Dr. Garvey’s techniques. I full-heartedly support her results, as I have been allergy-free for over a year now after having gone through her treatments. This is coming from someone that would go through at least 2 tissue boxes a week, wake up with both or at least one nostril plugged, and so on. I also had been under the care of Dr. Reid, and the SHOTS DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Shots are old school, the treatment I got from Dr. Garvey is the new approach that other doctors should research and look into. I used to have to take a pill each day, and when it got really bad, took Claritin D on top of that. Sure, she’s not covered by insurance, but spending the money for the treatments and to live my life normally again is more than worth it. I highly recommend her service.
By the way John, no one can guarantee results. You sound like you were a naysayer from the beginning, and maybe if you opened up your mind to something that has the potential to work, it may just (gasp) work. The mind is a powerful thing…

DOES NOT WORK — I am genuinely sad to report.
I asked Dr. Garvey if she would guarantee results but she was unwilling to make any guarantee. I was desperate to deal with my allergy issues so I took a $ 430 leap of faith since allergy shots hadn’t worked for me.
I have been tested and treated by two traditional Allergy Physicians, Dr. Reid and Dr Russell Leong (both in San Francisco). I did a base line skin and breathing test 3 years ago with Dr. Leong and just completed a new test with Dr. Reid.
Unfortunately, after having been proclaimed «allergy free» after a $ 700+ investment at Allergy Breakthrough Center. I still have reactions to pets, grasses, pollens and molds. To support this I also had the same reactive results from my skin test.
My first suspicion that this didn’t work occurred after inviting two friends to try it and they both reported that the process was bogus and the therapeutic results didn’t occur for them. That was about $ 350 to attempt a resolution for their allergy groupings.
Don’t get me wrong Dr. Garvey is very nice but when it comes to
allergy treatment I’m not convinced the computer can fix me anymore.
I would also question the way you know how a allergy is cured. Dr. Garvey is a chiropractor, so are many people using this system. The answer to whether or not you have resolved the allergy is to push down on the arm? really sounds like a trick of body mechanics doesn’t it? So if Dr. Garvey can push down on my arm I am allergic if not I am not allergic! Well if you know a lot about body mechanics don’t you also know how to move the arm in just the right way to get the result you want? I’m not sure but someone might also find this a peculiar way to confirm resistance to an allergy.
I’d like to see the double blind studies for this system. As a well educated person I’m kind of embarrassed to admit I fell for this but I was really desperate to solve my allergy problems.
I also hope my FSA doesn’t disqualify my expenses since this really isn’t considered a qualified FSA expense.
