Allergies

as a cause of illness

   An individual can be allergic to anything: foods, drinks, pharmaceutical drugs, herbs, vitamins, water, clothing, chemicals, latex, plastics, pollen, grasses, etc. Allergy symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening illnesses. Medical scientists are still researching to find the exact cause and nature of allergies. From a Western medical point of view, an allergy is an overreaction of the immune system. In NAET, allergies are viewed from a holistic perspective based on Oriental Medical principles and defined in terms of the effect an allergic substance has on the body's nervous system.

   An allergy is a condition of unusual sensitivity of a person to one or more substances which may be harmless to the majority of other individuals. In the allergic person, the allergic substance (known as an allergen) is viewed by the brain as a threat to the body's well being. When contact is made with an allergen, it causes blockages in energy pathways called meridians, disrupting the normal flow of energy through the body's electrical circuits. This energy blockage causes interference in communication between the brain and body via the nervous system which begins a chain of events that can trigger an allergic response.

   Undiagnosed allergies are often the cause of common or chronic illnesses which when left untreated can become serious or critical. Any energy imbalance in the body leads to a diminished state of
health in one or more organ systems. By reprogramming the brain and removing the blockages from the energy pathways, NAET allows the body to regain perfect balance and function normally to reach optimum health.

Introducing the NAET technique

   In 1983 Devi S. Nambudripad, D.C., L.Ac, M.D.,PhD.(Acupuncture), discovered NAET and began extensive research and development for a new, effective approach to the diagnosis and elimination of allergies. Dr. Nambudripad's knowledge in Eastern and Western medicine gave her the insight and guidance to develop this unique treatment in order to overcome her own serious allergic food reactions. She shares the amazing story of her personal struggles in the book, Say Good-bye To Illness. The book also explains the theoretical basis for her technique and provides true testimonials and fascinating case histories of patients who have been treated successfully with NAET for allergies and chronic health problems.

   Currently, conventional medicine has several methods for diagnosing allergies which include the intradermal test, patch test, scratch test, and various blood tests such as the RAST test and the ELIZA test. The standard treatment is drug therapy using either antihistamines or steroids to control allergic symptoms. Unfortunately, this does not correct the underlying problem and often the allergy sufferer experiences serious long-term side effects. The most effective treatment option until now has been complete avoidance of the offending allergen(s) which
can be difficult and in some cases impossible.

   Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques is an innovative treatment for allergies that is completely natural, painless, and non-invasive. This method can be used safely on anyone, even newborn infants and the elderly. NAET can also be used to treat healthy individuals with hidden allergies that could cause illness in the future.

   NAET is a truly revolutionary solution that provides relief from adverse reactions to new allergens and empowers the individual to live a better life in our modern world.

NAET - How it Works

   NAET is a synthesis of various medical disciplines such as allopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic, kinesiology and nutrition. Nambudripad's Testing Techniques utilizes Muscle Testing (MRT)
which indicates the kinetic imbalance in the body caused by allergens. The NAET treatment stimulates pressure points
along the spine from the neck to the sacrum while the patient is holding an allergen. After the treatment, a strong MRT indicates that the allergy has been removed. Specific acupressure points are
then massaged to stabilize the treatment. The substance must then be completely avoided for 25 hours following the treatment for best results. Allergens are treated and cleared one at a time in a
specific sequence. Normally only one item is treated on a given day. In most cases one session is all that is required to eliminate an allergy if NAET is applied properly. Individuals who are highly
sensitive may sometimes require additional treatment.
