Advanced Allergy
Symptom Relief Testimonials
I went to a health expo where I came upon a booth that explained the benefits of Advanced Allergy Therapeutics. While still skeptical, I decided to give it a try and made an appointment at Essential Wellness of Illinois. I was wondering if this could really help me? I knew I had the symptoms of food sensitivities, environmental sensitivities, and seasonal allergy symptoms…you name, it I have it. I was experiencing digestive issues, watery eyes, runny nose, and exhaustion. I couldn’t even go outside my house because of the trees. After one treatment for trees at Essential Wellness of Illinois, no watery eyes, no runny nose, no sinus pressure, and no more feeling of tiredness, it really does work! It is nice not to feel sick all the time, and to have energy. To everybody that has the symptoms associated with allergies, we have hope. I know that it is hard to believe because I was someone who felt the same way. Chrissy Renz works very hard during the treatment. She is very accommodating to work with your schedule. Perhaps most importantly, she is one that truly cares for people!
Sincerely,

I have worked with different holistic modalities for over 20 years both as a patient and a veterinary professional. Recently I began working with a colleague, whose opinion I value, with a protocol involving Advanced Allergy Therapeutics or AAT utilized at Essential Wellness of Illinois. The results have been remarkable. I am, or WAS, highly sensitive to fleas and their bites. In my line of work as a veterinarian working in an animal rescue, to say the least I was miserable for a good portion of the time. I have been treated all of twice, and even considering I am not fabulous at following direction post treatment, i.e. I never had the opportunity to avoid those nasty little critters, I have completely ceased the welts and the insane itchiness that used to be associated with exposure. AAT is certainly a viable alternative for alleviating the symptoms of hypersensitivities that can really affect the quality of life. I am fortunate that I don’t have a raft of these issues, but the one I did have I do NOT miss. I would recommend this protocol for anyone of any age with symptoms of ANY hypersensitivity. What a difference it can make!!! If we can promote AAT, think of all the dogs and cats given up due to symptoms associates with “Allergies” we could keep in loving homes.

This is a letter to note my extreme satisfaction with the Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT) treatment that I received at Essential Wellness of Illinois. If you have any symptoms associated with a food sensitivity run (DO NOT WALK) to seek treatment!
After 35 years of working with doctors and hospitals as a hospital executive and consultant, I am more than a bit skeptical of new healing modalities. However, I now find myself working as a Wellness Coach and help to manage a chiropractic office on the North Shore of Chicago which is broadening my horizons about innovative ways to get and stay healthy. Nonetheless, we recently learned of the AAT system and were intrigued by the idea of "treating the symptoms associated with food sensitivities, as well as the symptoms associated with many other types of allergies." In this day and age, that's not an insignificant proposal! But before exploring it further, I decided to get the ALCAT Blood Test to assess just how significant my food sensitivities were. For the most part, I am "a-symptomatic," but much to my surprise, the blood test indicated that I had 28 foods -- many which I love to eat -- that were either "Severe to moderate reactions”, with three foods falling into the "Severe Reaction to Whey: Cow's Milk, Goat's Milk, and Sheep's Milk." To say the least, I was surprised by the extent of my food sensitivities.
Armed with these unsettling blood test results, I showed up at Essential Wellness of Illinois, the offices of Christine Renz, L.Ac., who is a Licensed acupuncturist that specializes in Advanced Allergy Therapeutics and practices in the northern suburbs of Chicago. Following our introductions, she immediately went to work. In total, she conducted 5 treatment sessions (over a 5-week period) aimed at the target foods and those that might be related to them. Following these treatments, I requested a follow-up Blood Test (against the advice of the ALCAT salesman who said I would need to avoid the offending foods for at least 9 months before the body could adjust.) Despite that warning, I received the results back and was stunned by the rapid reversal of the blood work. Of the 28 original items, there are only 3 left (Brazil Nuts, Cottonseed, and Brewer's Yeast). It is worth noting -- none of these three were a part of the targeted work by Chrissy Renz. Yes, it really does work -- seeing is believing!
I can't say enough about the excellent results, the power of this technology, as well as Chrissy's ability to get the job done efficiently, effectively, and professionally. She is an excellent AAT practitioner and I would encourage any and all who might be suffering from the symptoms associated with food sensitivities to seriously consider this approach, and please do so without delay.
A votre sante!

Over the past few years, I began noticing that I would get nauseous and/or get a headache when I went to amusement parks, watched 3-D movies or even when we went boating. Thus, I started missing out on a lot of family fun. You can imagine how pleased I was to find that Advanced Allergy Therapeutics could help me with this. After only 2 treatments at Essential Wellness of Illinois, I’m back to enjoying these experiences with my family. My thanks go to Christine Renz-- I give her my highest recommendation.

Advanced Allergy Therapeutics is a surprisingly effective method of treating the symptoms associated with my long-standing allergy and sensitivity health issues. Outside of an environment I could control, I noticed people, places, and things could have a detrimental impact on my well-being. I would manifest characteristic symptoms such as head congestion, headache ranging from mild to migraine, inability to think and focus clearly, runny nose, watery eyes, and nausea. With careful observation, I determined some of the offending items were tobacco smoke, perfume, vehicle exhaust fumes, paint, plastic and vinyl products, cleaning chemicals, and environmental pollutants. Receiving the simple non-invasive treatments of AAT at Essential Wellness of Illinois was one of the best decisions I made. Being able to release self-imposed restrictions to protect myself, I am confidently re-introducing into my life the items I previously needed to avoid. I am ecstatic about expanding my world and simultaneously feeling healthy.

Great News! I have been able to eat bread again without experiencing my old digestive symptoms and becoming extremely sick for the first time in many years. In 1999 I was told I had IBS. Therefore, I have been avoiding gluten and wheat for years. I had to order my bread from a bakery in Florida and store it in the freezer. Also, I had to drive to the suburbs to go to the gluten free store just for items that the average person can get from their local grocery store. The price of items at the specialty gluten free store is extremely high in comparison to items on the shelves at a regular grocery store. I had to read the ingredient list on food items as well as external items (ex., liquid soap, makeup, lotions, etc.). Even going to restaurants is so much easier now that I don’t have to ask “does this have wheat or flour in it?” Additionally, I now save myself the embarrassment of asking the hostess at a gathering “what will be served for dinner? or having to say I can’t eat that.” I save myself money from specialty items as well as saving time, gas, and embarrassment. It should also be noted that I had digestive upset with corn and soy as well. After being treated, I can now include these items into my diet without a worry. I can’t wait to be treated for dairy! I really want to thank you, Christine Renz, for your patience and your hard work in treating the symptoms associated with my various food sensitivities, I wish I only knew about Essential Wellness of Illinois years ago.
Sincerely,

If you always wake up in the morning with a 15 minute sneezing session, you will understand what it is like to be sensitive to dust mites. For years I have tried numerous recommendations involving mattress encasements, certain types of pillows, special washing procedures for linens, etc. Yes, they all provided some relief, but the problem still presented itself. I was then introduced to something that I had never heard of before—Advanced Allergy Therapeutics. I made an appointment with Christine Renz at Essential Wellness of Illinois. I wasn’t quite sure what improvements I would see, but was I surprised! After one initial treatment and one follow up treatment, my morning sneezing ritual stopped. Saying “thank you” just doesn’t seem enough to express what a difference this has made for me. Chrissy, I tell everyone about what wonderful services you provide!
Sincerely,
MRK
