2. What is BioSET?

BioSET™ desensitization is an acupressure technique which utilizes allergen frequencies and energetics to fully clear and/or reprogram the individual via the nervous and meridian system to any allergen or sensitivity. BioSET™ balances meridians that have been blocked by allergens which have produced a multiplicity of health symptoms that can become chronic. This natural non- invasive revolutionary desensitization can clear most sensitivities almost permanently. For more information, go to BioSet.
