Advanced Allergy Therapeutics utilizes the principles of positive conditioning in retraining the body to accept a substance that is harmless.

Originally, the treatment utilized the actual substance or diluted mixes on the surface of the skin while stimulating traditional acupuncture points. The challenges with using actual substances included: 

• Potential low level reactions from exposure to the surface of the skin
• Multiple substances needed to be placed on the skin separately without contamination of the other substances
• A large number of substances or stimuli were not possible to obtain for treatment

 It became necessary to research various technologies that could mimic the substances needed for treatment. AAT discovered that the transmission of digital signals to the surface of the skin was an effective and safe alternative in exposing the patient to allergens or substances involved in sensitivities. Although the mechanism is unknown, the results of the therapy have shown that the body is capable of interpreting the signals and correcting the error when the acupressure stimulation is applied.

The use of digital signals has greatly increased precision in the treatment and has allowed for much greater availability of substances to treat.

The digital technology does not use any form of electrical stimulation, so it is entirely non-invasive. In fact, the transmission of the digital signals has no therapeutic effect on the body. It is the acupressure stimulation during the transmission of the signal that corrects the physiological error.
