Health: Zapping Away Allergies

Reporting
Stephanie Stahl
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― Mold levels are very high in the Philadelphia area. Now there's a new way to zap all kinds of allergies. Most people with allergies rely on medications for relief, but they can cause unwanted side effects. Now there's a no meds solution.

Sneezing, head congestion, and itchiness are classic allergy symptoms. It's misery for millions.

"The worst is red, itchy eyes where I just want to tear my eyes out," said Pam Campbell, who suffered from allergies.

"I was popping antihistamines like people ate popcorn," said Maury Williams, who had allergies triggered by food, specifically aspartame and beans.

"Within a half hour after lunch I'd start sneezing and wheezing," said Maury. Who knew he'd find relief at a chiropractor's office?

"Life is good again," said Maury.

Dr. Frederick Neal is using a cold laser called BAX3000.

"It's a brand new way of looking at treating the body and healing the body from the roots up," said Dr. Neal.

Pam believes the laser cured her allergy to cats.

"I couldn't even walk in and sit at the kitchen counter without doping up," said Pam.

A computer tests the body for allergic reactions to more than 35,000 substances. Each is assigned a particular frequency. Once an allergy is identified, the laser delivers the designated frequency to the body through acupuncture points.

"What the BAX3000 does is reprogram the body so that the body no longer has an abnormal reaction," said Dr. Neal.

According to Dr. Neal, the treatment is painless, and there are virtually no side effects. He says some patients could see relief in as little as one or two treatments. More complex allergies can require up to 20 treatments.

"Now I can pet the cat. I can sit on the cat's chair. I can sit by the cat's litter box, and I have no reaction at all," said Pam.

The laser is based on biofeedback. Through acupuncture points the body is trained to not respond to the stress of allergies. But some allergy doctors say there's no scientific proof it works. The laser allergy treatment costs about $1,500.
