NAET

[Guest Guest_efgh]

Can anyone explain to me what is NAET and how it helps tics?

 

thanks

Hi--

 

Dr. Nambudripad, who developed NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques) has posted a letter on her site that explains the technique and gives advice on finding a practitioner. (see below) This letter was was prompted by the many offshoots from her program that are creating confusion among those seeking treatment. See www.NAET.com.

 

There is basically no criteria on who can provide this as well as other energy-type treatments, which makes it difficult for families to find someone reputable and experienced. Also, there is not sufficient research on these approaches in general, much less for TS. If the NAET reduces tics (and we have had a few anecdotal reports at ACN that it has) it is presumed to do so by addressing the allergic response, which can impact the nervous system, brain function, and tic symptoms. As far as the lack of research goes, this of course is the case for most nondrug approaches to allergy and/or tics. I hope this helps. Sheila

 

 

What is correct NAET?

 

All patients will be instructed to read the book, Say Goodbye to Illness, by me before you make an appointment with an NAET practitioner. This will give you some idea about this new, revolutionary treatment and how it may help with your own health conditions. This is not a self-help book, even though, there is much information to help you to keep your health problems under control. You will also read many patients’ testimonials and case studies to help you understand how well they are doing after several years of initial NAET treatments.

 

When you begin the NAET treatments, your practitioner will also ask you to read The NAET Guidebook (available from the practitioner’s office, or on this website, or amazon.com or any major book stores), to find the suitable foods and/or items to avoid during the course of your treatment.

 

Your NAET practitioner will test your allergy using a special computerized allergy testing machine called NAETER (this is not mandatory, only optional), or by using muscle response testing as shown in the book Say Goodbye to Illness. He or she will then treat specific acupuncture points on your back using fairly strong acupressure either by hands or with a pressure device (manually operated or electrically stimulated, with a device called "arthrostim") while you are holding the allergen in your palm and touching the sample with the pads of your fingers several times (the number of times your practitioner stimulates your back will depend on the practitioner’s findings as to the nature of NAET application at the time of evaluation before applying the treatment). All patients above the age of ten will then also receive acupressure or acupuncture needles at specific points on the front of the body.

 

Patients are asked to remain for 15-20 minutes in the office after the treatment. At that time they are tested again for their muscle strength with the allergen in their hand. This time, if the treatment is successful, the patient’s arm should remain strong against the practitioner’s pressure. The patient is then asked to wash their hands or rub them together for a minute.

 

Patients are instructed to avoid all contact with the allergen that they were just treated for, for 25 hours. They are also advised to read The NAET Guidebook to find the suitable foods they can eat for those 25 hours.

 

During the spinal NAET treatment procedure the NAET practitioner and the patient should be alone in the room to prevent electro-magnetic interference. Children, friends, patients, relatives, office staff or assistants, animals, and other pets should not be allowed in the treatment room.

 

On the following visit (anywhere from 1 day to 7 days) the practitioner re-tests the previously treated item. If the result is satisfactory (cleared) the practitioner can treat another item. If the allergen has not passed the test at least 80% while rechecking, the same allergen will be treated again alone or will be treated using BBF (brain-body balancing formula), or any other combinations detected by the practitioner at the time of rechecking. It is necessary to clear the treated allergen at least to 80-90% mark before attempting to treat another allergen. If an allergen has cleared 80-90% mark, that allergen will not cause any adverse reaction with future contacts. When the allergen clears at 100% mark, it will begin to compliment the person’s health by enhancing the person’s existing energy in many folds. For example: an allergy to vitamin C was causing arthritis before the NAET treatment. When the allergy of vitamin C was cleared at 80% mark, the joints stopped hurting and the swelling began to subside by reducing the pain and inflammation at the joints. But when it was cleared at 100% mark, the foods and supplements containing vitamin C began strengthening the joints by helping with the repair of the unhealthy tissue of the joints. Occasionally, 100% clearance happens soon after one treats an item one or two times. Patients response to an NAET treatment (or treatments) will depend on various factors: immune system of the patient at the time of treatment, age, sex, the duration of the illness, the severity of the illness, emotional status of the patient, the number and type of emotional energy blockages, the ability to follow and carry out the instructions, the energetic compatibility of the patient and the practitioner or whoever is involved with the patient care, and the patient’s belief system in the specific treatment. If a patient has any above mentioned complicated issues, the complete clearance will only happen after clearing a number of combinations and other related allergens in the basic groups because most foods we treat are in a complex group. For example: let’s look at the NAET sample egg mix. This contains egg white, egg yolk, chicken, feathers, and Tetracycline. We know the egg contains most of the essential nutrients to nourish the body. NAET Basic treatments are basic essential nutrients that are essential for the body’s survival. Egg mix alone and the detected combination treatments will clear initially about 80%. The rest (20%) of the clearance will take place while clearing specific ingredients from the NAET basics, like calcium, B vitamins, iron, minerals, amino acids, etc. Complete clearance of the items may not be received until one treats all basics satisfactorily at all levels – (physical, physiological and psychological levels).

 

I receive many inquiries regarding the need to treat the NAET basics. I hope this helps readers understand why some people need more than couple of NAET treatments per item, or why they don’t feel great from day one, why they don’t stop reacting and don't feel great when eating, why practitioners are advising them to get treated for various combinations like heat, cold, acid, BBF, etc. NAET treatment applications may look similar, but the treatment received by each patient is different and his/her response to the treatment is different because of the reasons given above.

 

Please interview your practitioner before you make your appointment if you want to receive TRUE NAET treatments. There are many look-alike treatments that have been developed recently. Please find out if the practitioner has attended NAET Basic, Advanced-1 and Advanced-2 level classes. If they started NAET more that four years ago, please find out if they have been returning for mandatory yearly certification, as well as attended Basic, Advanced-1 and refresher’s class recently. Please also verify their information on our website: www.naet.com. Good luck with your NAET treatments.

Thanks Sheila for your valuable prompt info on ear popping and NIET. You may be right regarding allergies being the cause. My son's asthma symptoms are very much under control now - probably his current ear popping is yet another manifestation of the allergies.

thanks again.
