Acne with allergy (Gal⁺⁺⁺)
Some people have pimples and an allergy together — rashes, itching or swelling of the skin. In LMNT, when this pair comes with a very tender Gal point (written Gal⁺⁺⁺), the therapist gives a short, set plan built on the New Gal formula, alongside the person's medical care.
- Acne comes when hair follicles are blocked with oil and dead skin cells, letting bacteria grow and cause inflammation
- An allergy is the immune system reacting to something that does not bother most people
- Pimples are not caused by dirt, and stress does not cause acne but can make it worse

What is Acne with allergy (Gal⁺⁺⁺)?
Acne starts in the tiny pores where hairs grow. Oil and dead skin cells block the pore; bacteria multiply inside and the spot swells into a red pimple. Hormone changes — in the teenage years, around periods and in pregnancy — play a big part.
An allergy is a mix-up in the immune system: it treats something harmless — pollen, dust, a food, a medicine — as a threat and releases chemicals such as histamine. In the skin that means rashes, itching and swelling. The two problems are different, but some people carry both at once.
What are the symptoms?
- Pimples, blackheads or whiteheads on the face, chest or back
- Red, swollen or pus-filled spots
- Itching, rash or raised red patches on the skin
- Other allergy signs such as sneezing, watery eyes or swelling
What causes it, and who is more likely to get it?
Behind acne
- Hormone changes — puberty, periods, pregnancy
- Some medicines, and greasy skin or hair products
Behind allergy
- Pollen, dust mites, mould and pet dander
- Foods, insect stings and medicines
What LMNT looks for
How is it found?
A doctor usually diagnoses acne by looking at the skin. An allergy is confirmed by the story of what sets it off, and sometimes by skin prick tests or blood tests.
Skin examination
The type of spots, how many, where, and any scarring.
Allergy skin test
Tiny amounts of common allergens are placed on the skin to see which ones cause a reaction.
Allergy blood test
Measures the antibodies the body makes against a particular allergen.
The neurotherapist presses the pain points, including Gal. Tenderness is graded with plus signs; three plus signs — Gal⁺⁺⁺ — means Gal is very tender. Acne and allergy together with Gal⁺⁺⁺ is what this plan is written for.
How Neurotherapy sees Acne with allergy (Gal⁺⁺⁺)
In LMNT, the Gal point is linked to the gall bladder and bile. When acne and allergy come together with Gal⁺⁺⁺, LMNT gives the New Gal formula on day one, and New Gal together with Kidney Clear on day two. New Gal is given after the Vater formula — in that order.
The two-day plan
- Examineacne and allergy, with Gal⁺⁺⁺
- Vater firstthe Vater formula comes before New Gal
- Day oneNew Gal
- Day twoNew Gal + Kidney Clear
The bars that apply to Gal work apply here too, so the therapist checks them before the first session.
In this therapy we do not treat the disease; rather, we improve the body.
Neurotherapy treatment for Acne with allergy (Gal⁺⁺⁺), step by step
Examine first
The therapist checks Liv° and Mu°, presses Gal, and asks about diabetes, cancer, heart disease and every medicine — including any allergy medicine.
Vater, then New Gal
New Gal follows the Vater formula, in that order.
Day one: New Gal
The New Gal formula is given on the first day.
Day two: New Gal + Kidney Clear
On the second day New Gal is given together with Kidney Clear. The skin and the allergy are then reviewed at the next visit.
Points and formulas used
Vater Treatment
Given first, before New Gal — LMNT's formula aimed at the opening the bile flows through.
Works through
Open →Never do this
- Emergency: swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, trouble breathing or swallowing, or feeling faint after an allergy trigger can be anaphylaxis — call 108/112 at once.
- See a doctor for acne that is severe, deep or painful, leaves scars, looks infected, or is affecting your mood.
- The Gal bars apply to this plan — the therapist checks them before treatment. Gal
- Vater and New Gal both use (10) Medulla, which LMNT does not give in diabetes or cancer; heart patients get (10) Left Medulla only. (10) Medulla
- Cancer: if the person has cancer, (10) Pan, Thymus, Pit, Lu + Sh, Rt. Ov / Lt. Ov and (30) Medulla are never given — the therapist changes the plan.
- Keep taking the medicines your doctor prescribed. Neurotherapy works alongside your medical care, never instead of it.
Test yourself
What research says
- Strong evidence
Acne grows from a blocked pore through four things working together: extra oil, skin cells that plug the follicle, the skin bacterium Cutibacterium acnes, and inflammation.
- Strong evidence
In allergy, IgE antibodies sit on mast cells; when the allergen links them, the cells release histamine and other chemicals, and repeated exposure can keep the skin inflamed.
Galli SJ, Tsai M, Piliponsky AM. The development of allergic inflammation. Nature. 2008;454:445–454.
- Emerging evidence
A review of how the gut and the skin are linked: gut bacteria influence the skin's immune responses, and gut imbalance is linked to acne and eczema — a modern echo of LMNT's habit of looking at digestion for skin problems.
No clinical trial of Neurotherapy for acne with allergy has been published yet. Improvements reported by neurotherapists are clinical observations.
For you
Anyone with acne
Wash gently and do not squeeze or pick spots — that can leave scars. Pimples are not caused by dirt.
People with a known allergy
Keep avoiding your known triggers and keep any emergency medicine your doctor gave you close at hand.
This page explains; it does not diagnose. Neurotherapy works alongside your medical care — keep taking the medicines your doctor prescribed, and see a doctor for any new or severe symptom.
