Your horrible reaction to beef could be from a tick-bite. In this episode, you’ll learn about Alpha-gal Syndrome, which could be the reason you can’t stomach red meat, and why it’s all to do with tick saliva. If you have Lyme disease, you may already understand how ticks can wreak havoc with your immune system. Here, Dr. Motley shares his thoughts on why allergic reactions to beef may be on the rise, and the treatments he’s seen manage symptoms most effectively, including herbs, homeopathy and ear acupuncture (and the SAAT technique that shows proven, long-lasting results). 
If you have a tick-borne illness or an unexplained allergic reaction to beef, this episode offers a hopeful path forward.
