OVERVIEW
NAET® was discovered by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad in November of 1983. Nambudripad’s Allergy
Elimination Techniques, also known as NAET, are a non-invasive, drug
free, natural solution to alleviate allergies of all types and
intensities using a blend of selective energy balancing, testing and
treatment procedures from acupuncture/acupressure, allopathy, nutritional, and kinesiological disciplines of medicine.
One allergen is treated at a time. If you are not severely immune
deficient, you may need just one treatment to desensitize one allergen. A
person with mild to moderate amount of allergies may take about 15-20
office visits to desensitize 15-20 food and environmental allergens.
Basic essential nutrients are treated during the first few visits.
Chemicals, environmental allergens, vaccinations, immunizations, etc.
are treated after completing about ten basic essential nutrients. NAET
can successfully alleviate adverse reactions to egg, milk, peanuts,
penicillin, aspirin, mushrooms, shellfish, latex, grass, ragweed,
flowers, perfume, animal dander, animal epithelial, make-up, chemicals,
cigarette smoke, pathogens, heat, cold, other environmental agents. It
may take several office visits to desensitize a severe allergen.
Holistic Family Nurse Practitioner, Martha Bray, received her training directly by Dr. Nambudripad and has taken many andvanced training
courses offered by Dr. Nambudripad. Please continue reading the
following explanation of NAET by Dr. Nambudripad herself:
Allopathy & Western Sciences
Knowledge of the brain, cranial nerves, spinal nerves and autonomic
nervous system from Western medicine enlightens us about the body’s
efficient multilevel communication network. Through this network of
nerves, vital energy circulates through the body carrying negative and
positive messages from the brain to each and every cell in the body and
back to the brain. Knowledge of the nervous system, its origin, travel
pathway, the organs and tissues that will benefit from its nerve energy
supplies (target organs and tissues) and its destination, helps us to
understand the energy distribution of particular spinal nerves that
emerge from the 31 pairs of spinal nerve roots.
Kinesiology
Kinesiology is the art and science of movement of the human body.
Kinesiology is used in NAET to compare the strength and weakness of any
muscle (also known as neuromuscular sensitivity testing (NST)) of the
body in the presence and absence of any substance. A measured weakness
in the presence of a substance is due to the effect of an allergy to the
item the person is touching. This simple method can be used to detect
your allergens.
Acupuncture /Oriental Medicine
Yin-Yang theory from Oriental medical principles teaches the
importance of maintaining homeostasis in the body. According to Oriental
medical principles, “when the body is in perfect balance, no disease is
possible.” Any disturbance in the homeostasis can cause disease. Any
allergen capable of producing a weakening muscular effect in the body
can cause disturbance in homeostasis. Hence, diseases can be prevented
and cured by maintaining homeostasis. According to acupuncture theory,
acupuncture and/or Acupressure at certain acupuncture points is capable
of bringing the body to a state of homeostasis by removing the energy
blockages from the energy pathways known as meridians. When the
blockages are removed, energy can flow freely through the energy
meridians, thus bringing the body in perfect balance.
Nutrition
You are what you eat! The secret to good health is achieved through
right nutrition. What is right nutrition? And how do you get it? When
you can eat nutritious foods without discomfort and assimilate their
nutrients, that food is said to be the right food. When you get
indigestion, bloating, or other digestive troubles upon eating the food,
that food is not helping you function normally. This is due to an
allergy to the food. Different foods react differently in different
people. What is food for some may be poison for others. You've probably
heard the expression, “one man’s meat is another man’s poison.” So it is
very important to clear the allergy to the nutrients. Allergic people
can tolerate food that is low in nutrition better than nutritious food.
But upon clearing the allergy, you should try to eat more wholesome,
nutritious foods. You should avoid refined, bleached food that is devoid
of nutrients. Many people who are feeling poorly due to undiagnosed
food allergies, may take vitamins or other supplements to increase their
vitality after they get treated for the specific allergy. If they
happen to be allergic to the nutritional supplements they are taking,
this can actually make them feel worse. Only after clearing those
allergies, can their bodies properly assimilate them. So nutritional
assessment should be done periodically and if needed, appropriate
supplements should be taken to receive faster results.
Disclaimer
NAET does NOT claim to cure
allergies or food, chemical and environmental sensitivities. NAET does
not support the use of lasers in lieu of acupressure and acupuncture
modalities. Do-it-yourself, at-home type kits can be extremely dangerous
or harmful. Laser devices to treat allergies are currently being
investigated by the FDA for inappropriate activities and claims. NAET is
not responsible for any damage that is done by the use of such devices
attempting to mimic NAET techniques. Any and all allergy treatment must
be supervised by an approved and licensed health professional.
Practitioners and programs that use words such as “distance treatments”,
“JMT”, “BioSet”, “ByeBye Allergies”, “Berg technique”, “Advanced
Allergy Elimination Technique”, “Allergy Pathways”, “Allergy Elimination
Technique”, “the allergy kit”, and “A/SERT” do not perform
Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET) and are not
sanctioned by NAET. NAET cannot be held responsible for any harm that
may come from receiving such treatments or techniques that mimic or try
to copy NAET.
