Frequently Asked Questions

As soon as they feel comfortable getting up and moving after surgery. The sooner you can begin ALT, the sooner you can boost the immune system to spur healing.

Yes, starting at 3 months old. Sessions will begin more superficially and slowly work down.

No, not until the infection has been treated and they have been cleared by their physician or practitioner. 

Argon, Xenon and Krypton are the gasses used by the XP2 machine. Argon and Krypton decongest lymph and Xenon balances hormones.

ALT and ELT therapy are the same therapy. We prefer to use the term ALT (Assisted Lymphatic Therapy) as ELT is a more outdated industry term.

We suggest a mineral water and electrolyte enhancement, such as Dr. Jen's Refuel to help aid in detoxification and enhance hydration.

Working on a baker's cyst with ALT will reduce the cyst.

Yes, ALT can still be administered on someone on steroid medication. Long term steroid use can cause an imbalance with the heart, liver kidneys & adrenal glands. The therapist will pay close attention to any areas that might have extreme congestion. If this is found a biofeedback test or blood work may be recommended.

Wait 48 hours after the shot otherwise you risk flushing it out.

ALT can help with the reduction of fluid & clearing out the inflammation in the ear. 

Yes, ALT helps with eczema by helping detox the liver. The overwhelmed liver will contribute to most skin disorders.

ALT helps reduce varicose veins by reducing the inflammation and increasing the circulation in the extremity.

Lyme patients struggle with severe inflammation in various parts of their body. ALT dissolves inflammation and increases immune response.

ALT increases the production of lymphocytes (white blood cells), the B cells produce antibodies in the body & the T cells destroy invading toxins & pathogens (bacteria & viruses included). ALT reinforces the immune response of the B cells & T cells. ALT also accelerates contact with the pathogens & toxins by clearing the lymphatic system's areas of congestion. This is the "highway with traffic" analogy we use when describing the lymphatic system. If the lymphatic system is congested & thick or simply overloaded, the lymphocytes become trapped in those areas & cannot reach the area of infection. If there is little to no congestion along the lymphatic pathways, the lymphocytes travel quickly to the area & are more effective at fighting off the pathogen or filtering the toxin.

ALT is great for Lyme patients. It helps reduce pain and inflammation that can be caused by Lyme. It is okay to work on a Lyme client while they are taking antibiotics.

Head and neck can be done separately with no issues. We do this often for allergy/chronic sinusitis clients. 

Yes, Polycystic kidney disease is indicated with ALT. Ideally, the client will have once weekly sessions. The client's nephrologist should also be measuring kidney function periodically while they are having ALT.

If a client's kidneys are not working well, then ALT would put too much pressure on the kidneys. Ozone sauna would be more beneficial since the kidneys are compromised.

ALT is beneficial for postpartum healing and can help reduce swelling and aid in postpartum recovery. If a mother is breastfeeding, the mother must pump and discard her supply twice after receiving ALT, due to toxins releasing.

By transmitting a high frequency vibration into the tissue. This will bring extra blood flow into the area which can in turn help relieve pain and speed up healing. In scar therapy, this high frequency is used to break down the fibrous, collagen rich tissue that forms at the site of scars. The fast vibration of the XP2 contributes to making the scar tissue more elastic, which in turn can restore range of motion and reduce scar pain or irritation. XP2 therapy can be effective both during healing and after scar tissue has formed and hardened.

ALT should be done after imaging. We do not suggest doing ALT before imaging or thermography before any manipulation or therapy is done in the area.

The client will be asked to stand for the front of the body then lay on the stomach for posterior side.

Protein C deficiencies increase the occurrence of blood clots so clients with a history of blood clots should have a clear ultrasound as well as 30-45 days on a blood thinner before having ALT. There is a possibility of the therapy dislodging the clots otherwise.

Liver cirrhosis is not contraindicated for ALT. Patients with a liver cancer diagnosis benefit from ALT tremendously. Frequency could be increased to twice a week for several weeks or a standard once a week schedule is appropriate as well.

For clients recovering from COVID/pneumonia or chest congestion, client must wait 2 weeks  before coming in for ALT.
