NAET and how it helps to clear allereies

NAET stands for Nambudripod's Allergy Elimination Treatment. Dr. Devi

Nambudripod, a chiropractor, MD and acupuncturist out of California, developed the
technique after being afflicted with multiple allergies her whole life. Her success in
treating herself and others has led to a worldwide phenomenon. There are currently over
8000 trained practitioners worldwide. More information can be found on the official
website (wr,rryv-.NAET. c om).

Please note the use of the word elimination. Most treatments for allergies involve
continued use of medication, be it pharmaceutical or herbal, to control allergies. With
NAET, you can change the way your body reacts to allergens, and be naturally allergy
free!

The basis of NAET is working with basic food items that comprise most of the food we
eat. Even if your allergies are clearly environmental (ragweed, dust, molds), the fifteen
basics are treated primarily, which include vitamins (A, B, C), minerals (Calcium, Iron),
grains, etc. Muscle Response Testing will determine whether your body is reacting
adversely to these. If you test weak, a treatment will be given to correct your body's
reaction. Upon successful completion of treatment, a food avoidance period will be
advised. The time is usually around 25 hours from when you started the treatment, which
is the amount of time it takes for the Qi to course through all of the body's meridians.

The fifteen basics (list attached) work mostly with food allergies. The basics are items
that are found throughout most foods we eat, and even in the environmental agents that so
often cause us allergies. Often times, clearing the basics will greatly help, or even clear
specific known allergies. For instance, clearing Calcium can help with dairy allergies.
Treating vitamin C can help with allergies to various fruits and vegetables. Iron can help
if you have difficulties digesting meat. These are just a couple of examples.
After treating the basics, more specific items may be treated. The following types of
allergens can all be successfully treated with NAET:

o inhalants --weeds, grasses, chemical smells, perfumes, etc'),

o ingestants --all types of food and food additives
o contactants--skin creams, newspaper, detergents, etc.
o According to Dr. Nambudripod, almost everything can be classified as an allergen
and treated with NAET

Conditions treated with NAET

NAET can have a positive impact on many aspects of health. The main arenas NAET
positively impacts are in the respiratory and digestive departrnent. The following
conditions can be treated with NAET: Allergies, Asthma, Headaches (including
migraines), all digestive disorders, frequent illness/catching colds, skin problems, pain of
all types, yeast infections, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, women's hormonal
issues, etc.*

Digestion and patholog.v according to Chinese Medicine and NAET theory

According to Chinese medicine, the Spleen and Stomach are responsible for assimilating
the nutrients found in food and ensuring they are transformed into proper fluids and
structures in our body. In addition, the Spleen and Stomach give rise to the Yi, or
intellect. So in addition to processing food, these organs also help you assimilate
information.

Most of us have a constant amount of information coming at us, with the availability of
TV, internet, newspapers, advertisements, etc. in our lives. This means is that we are
constantly putting added pressure on our digestive systems. Often, we are processing
information at the same time we eat, thus doubly taxing our digestive energies. In
addition, the food we eat is often times loaded with additives. How often have you
looked at a canned item, a baked good, a bag of chips or any other prepared food, only to
find twenty or more ingredients?

This can make things very complicated for our digestive system, which is responsible for
most of the immunity of our bodies. Our body can simply get confused in the process,
overwhelmed with information and unable to recognize and process the nutrition in food.
This can be the beginning of a pervasive allergic reaction.

There are many instances that can provide such a reaction. You can eat corn chips, which
could have food colorings, preservatives and spices in addition to corn (fust to name a
few common ingredients). Your body is unable to process the preservatives, so there is
an adverse reaction. It is very easy for the body to see the entire chip as an adverse item.
Now a sensitivity to corn is born.
Another example could be food poisoning. Say some spoiled beef is accidentally
ingested. Anyone who has ever had food poisoning can recall what they ate, and what an
unpleasant experience that was. The body could be so intensely sick, that it looks at
every component of that beef as poisonous, or an allergy. In that beef are essential items
like B vitamins and Iron. Now your body can have a remembrance of this food poisoning
episode, and have a sensitivity to B vitamins andlor Iron in all forms.

There are many instances in which such a reaction can produce sensitivity. Imagine
eating breakfast and watching devastating news on TV, or having an intense aigument
with a loved one during a meal. A flip is basically improperly switched. When a large
number of these reactions happen in your body, the result is an inflamed system. Your
body eventually reaches a threshold, and illness ensues.

NAET works to reverse these reactions, thus simplifiing the process of digestion. The
result is less systemic inflammation. When your body digests food properly, there is
more energy and less toxic byproduct. There is more immunity,less allergies. The body
can be restored to healthy function.

In addition to NAET, you can help this process along by developing healthy eating
habits. Eat whole foods as much as possible. It is how nature intended. Make eating a
nurturing process, where you are focusing on food and what good it is doing for you. Do
not do anything too strenuous while eating (working, studying, watching stressful news,
eating breakfast on the run). Make eating a healthy and enjoyable experience, with the
company of family/friends or in peaceful relaxation. These healthy habits will help your
body assimilate food better.

What to expect durine treatment

The methods used in diagnosing for treatnent are history intake and Muscle Response
Testing (MRT). The first session will involve detailed questioning of health and figuring
out what sensitivities you are aware of. Then MRT is used. MRT involves placing
substances near your body (normally in your hand) to see your reaction. If the testing
muscle cannot resist normal pressure, it is determined that you have an allergy/sensitivity
to that substance.

Once the diagnosis is finished, the treatment will involve stimulation of points on the
back near the spine to help your nervous system adjust to the particular substance. The
substance is then retested, and ifyour body reacts strong (clearing the tested substance),
acupuncture/acupressure is applied so your body will fully adjust. After that, it is up to
you to avoid the substance so your body has time to fully acclimate. The length of
avoidance will be determined during treatment.

Reactions to treatment

Different people have different reactions to NAET. Most people react very positively to
treatment, and feel that energy, clarity, and overall function increase. It is possible to feel
temporarily worse from treatment. Sometimes toxins are released as part of the clearing
process for NAET. If this happens to you, be encouraged that healing is in the process of
happening. Try and rest as much as possible, and drink plenty of water. Pressing on your
gate points (listed below) will help with this healing reaction. Exercise and yoga/qi gong
will help. Remember that the malaise is only temporary. You will ultimately feel much
better for undergoing the treatments.

My personal NAET experience

I first heard of NAET after I had enrolled in the studies of Chinese Medicine in Austin. I
had been dealing with allergies since I was at least 10 years old. I would constantly have
a runny or plugged up nose. On really bad days, I would constantly drip from my nose,
going through up to a box of Kleenex a day. My eyes would be red and itchy. I would
have some severe sneezing attacks. I would be exhausted and very foggy headed. This
comprised over 213 of my daily existence, with some days feeling so debilitated that a
nap was the only solution.

I went to an allergist and did the skin test (where they inject small amounts of allergens
just under your skin). The test was only on my forearms, but my arms turned red all the
way up to my shoulders. They determined that I was allergic to everything. I underwent
allergy shots, which had minimal effect. The medications I was taking also had minimal
effect. It seemed like allergies were just something I had to deal with.

Upon arrival in Austin, I started doing herbs, diet changes and acupuncture. These all
really helped to give some relief. I started having less symptoms, and less severe days.
A classmate suggested that dairy products might be contributing to the allergies. I
scoffed at the notion (in large part because I didn't want to forego eating cheese), but
decided to avoid dairy for two weeks. To my surprise, the allergy symptoms were better.

This was the first time I correlated my allergies to what I ate. Yet I still found it difficult
to cut dairy out of my diet in entirety. My symptoms were all better, but I still struggled
with allergies. Then I was introduced to NAET. One by one,.we started going through
the basics. After the fifth or sixth treatment, I had a large reaction to the B vitamin
treatment. I felt extremely lethargic for the whole day afterwards. The next moming
though, my energy was better than I could remember in recent history.

I kept getting treatments, and it is now a rarity to have any allergy problems. I went from
having allergies on most days to having an allergic attack once every month or two. I
went from being very allergic to cats, to being able to live with one. Needless to say, I
experienced a vast improvement in quality of life. I am still careful with my diet, as I
will get allergies if I eat too much dury/wheat/junk food. Overall, I am much less
sensitive.
