Acupressure in Marietta, Georgia

Your Body Needs More Than Nutrition to Rebuild

When your body needs to repair and rebuild, it needs the right raw materials. That’s the role of clinical nutrition—providing the nutrients your cells need to maintain and rebuild healthy structure.

But there’s another side of the equation that is often overlooked: physical stress.

Your body can have the nutritional building blocks it needs and still be working against patterns of physical stress that interfere with normal function.

Think of it this way:

Clinical nutrition supplies the building materials. Acupressure helps reduce the physical stress that can stand in the way of using them effectively.

This combination—improving nutrition while reducing physical stress—is a central part of the Evectics℠ approach.

How Does Our Acupressure Work?

Traditional acupuncture uses needles to stimulate specific points on the body. Our treatments stimulate selected acupuncture points with a low-power laser and finger pressure instead of needles.

What makes our approach different isn’t simply the laser. We combine acupressure stimulation with homeopathic information contained in treatment vials—small glass vials containing extremely diluted substances.

The vials may represent foods or environmental substances your body is sensitive to, or toxins that may be creating stress.

During treatment, specific acupressure points are stimulated while the body is exposed to the information contained in the selected vials. The purpose is to alert the nervous system to that information. Any benefit comes from changes the body makes in response—not from anything physically contained in the vial entering the body.

We use this approach in two primary ways:

Systems Desensitization Technique (SDT)

SDT is used to reduce stress associated with sensitivities to foods, environmental substances and toxins.

One of its most important applications is reducing stress affecting the gut (small intestine), with the goal of supporting immune function and the body’s healing processes. For this reason, SDT is often used early in an Evectics℠ Program.

Cravings Treatments

We’ve also developed applications of SBT for severe food cravings.

This can be important because when someone is constantly craving and eating sugar or highly processed foods, that dietary stress can work against the other changes we’re trying to make.

SBT does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment of endocrine, immune, digestive or other diseases. It is one of the complementary techniques we may incorporate into an individualized Evectics℠ Program.

Acupressure at Alternative Health Atlanta

Our SDT and SBT techniques are part of the Evectics℠ Treatment System, developed by Dr. Melodie Billiot, DC.

Evectics℠ brings together evaluation, clinical nutrition, functional laboratory testing, acupressure, and diet and lifestyle guidance into a personalized health program.

You don’t need to determine whether you need SDT, SBT—or acupressure at all—before coming to see us.

That’s what the evaluation is for.
