Frequently Asked Questions about SET-DB™
Q: What’s the difference between an allergy and a sensitivity?
A: Most MDs and researchers have a narrow definition of allergy. It only occurs when the immune system makes an IgE antibody to something. If no IgE is made, it’s not allergy.
However, many people react to things they’re not allergic to. These kind of reactions have several names: hypersensitivity, adverse reaction, and sensitivity. I like and use sensitivity. Even though antibodies aren’t made, the immune system can still be activated by unknown means, but likely by the nervous system, which runs everything in the body.
Q: How are allergies and sensitivities discovered and treated?
A: Most trips to a medical allergist, or immunologist, office involve “scratch tests.” They’re easy to administer and insurance companies readily pay for them. Some might order blood tests that do a better job of finding food allergies. Treatment consists of allergy shots, medication, or in rare instances, a rotation diet to try and train the immune system to tolerate foods it has made antibodies to.
Sensitivities can be discovered in several ways. Manual testing via a leg length check or muscle test are common, but are also slow. Computer-aided scanning can find sensitivities faster and can check for more things as it involves a database of potential stressors. Having checked manually and with computer-aided tools, I prefer the ZYTO Elite as sessions typically take less than five minutes. Sensitivities can be cleared with SET-DB™.
The question a ZYTO stress scan answers is: Do these substances stress a patient or client’s body and, if so, to what degree? It could be an allergy or a sensitivity, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is it stresses the body.
To speak plainly, a ZYTO scan does not “diagnose” allergies, but it can find things that stress the body. SET‑DB™ does not treat allergies, it clears sensitivities.
Q: How does SET-DB™ work?
A: The SET-DB™ clearing procedure is natural, drugless of course, and non-invasive. It can be safely done on infants and the elderly, regardless of their health status. There are no known contraindications or side effects. There is only a four-hour avoidance period after each clearing, and it really is a “soft” avoidance.
Sensitivities are cleared one group of like items at a time, such as grains or dairy. A methodical procedure is laid out in the Practitioner Manual found in the SET-DB™ Basic Package. Certain categories are typically scanned and cleared before others. Once they’re done the SET-DB™ practitioner can choose which remaining categories to do in what order based on their clinic experience or the patient or client’s history. Or they may choose to simply go through them in the order suggested in the manual.
Q: Does SET-DB™ get rid of sensitivities permanently?
A: The real question is, do SET-DB™ clearings need to be repeated? Almost never. If a clearing does need to be repeated it’s usually because the person failed to avoid what they had cleared for four hours. But that rarely happens because SET-DB™ manuals teach proper procedures to practitioners and staff.
Q: Does getting rid of sensitivities improve health?
A: It certainly can. Just look at the patient and practitioner testimonials on my site to see how people have been helped with SET-DB™. There are hundreds more who didn’t want to write a testimonial and many hundreds who’ve been helped by SET-DB™ practitioners in the U.S. and Canada.
Not every symptom is caused by an allergy or sensitivity. But, if a sensitivity does cause or contribute to a symptom that symptom will likely remain, perhaps even get worse, until the sensitivity is cleared.
Q: How long does it take to start feeling better with SET-DB™?
A: It varies. Some people get seemingly miraculous results in one or two sessions. Most feel better little by little as they go through their program. Our fibromyalgia patients experienced a 33% reduction in their overall symptom profile after just six clearings, usually about three weeks. If you know anything about fibromyalgia you know what a great statistic that is.
Q: How many clearings do people need?
A: Some people get a few clearings while others get forty or more. It depends on how many sensitivities they have and how good they want to feel. Also, some only want to have a sensitivity to their cat cleared, so they might only have one. SET-DB™ practitioners never push people to get care they don’t want or think they need.
The manuals teach practitioners how to set up programs to help people get all the care they need. A ten-visit Inhalant program helps people with hayfever and a twenty-five-visit Foods and Nutrients program helps those with food sensitivities. The advanced Fibromyalgia and Thyroid Protocols suggest programs that range from twenty–to–forty visits.
Q: Does the procedure involve taking a lot of supplements?
A: No. Even the advanced Fibromyalgia and Thyroid Protocols suggest only three or four supplements in addition to SET-DB™ clearings. The Organ System Stress Test (OSST) BioSurvey included with the Basic Package produces one homeopathic formula. (The OSST is not part of the clearing procedure, but it is part of the Fibromyalgia and Thyroid Protocols.) The focus of SET-DB™ is to rid the body of as many sensitivities as possible to remove obstacles preventing people from enjoying better health.
Q: Are there any other costs after purchasing a SET-DB™ program?
A: Yes. The instrument used to do the clearing procedure is sold by someone else. It costs about $120. Also, some empty vials are needed and can be purchased from many companies (I suggest where to get the best). There are no monthly or yearly fees.
Q: How are your materials and the BioSurveys distributed after purchase?
A: I email supporting documents, forms, manuals, etc., after purchase. Usually within thirty minutes. ZYTO is the gatekeeper for the BioSurveys. After the practitioner executes a release form via Docusign, purchased SET-DB™ libraries are attached to their Elite or Select license. The next time they sync their ZYTO software, my BioSurveys will appear. Each program has 80+ BioSurveys.
Q: Will insurance pay for the visits?
A: I never billed insurance for any SET-DB™ visit while in practice and I’ve not heard from any other practitioner who successfully billed for SET-DB™ services. That doesn’t mean it’s not possible.
