(Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques)Lori Gilbert, Licensed Acupuncturist Lori Gilbert, L. Ac, is certified and trained in the NAET protocol, by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad, MD, L.Ac., DC. NAET is an acupressure technique, which does not require the use of needles, so it is ideal for children and people who are afraid of needles. It is painless and simple. (I do use acupuncture though, if the patient wants it.)
Sonia's son had his stomach aches and diarrhea from food allergies resolved in the first 5 treatments. By the 10th treatment, his sinus problems from the environmental allergies had gone away. It is common to have many allergic symptoms relieved within the first 5 visits, and usually, it's permanent! I would say this is true for about 85% of patients. For the other 15% of complicated cases though, it can take many treatments. This gentle, effective allergy elimination technique diagnoses and effectively eliminates all kinds of allergic symptoms due to things such as foods, environmental allergens, chemical sensitivity, etc. And since it can be done with acupressure, no needles need be used. This makes the technique ideal for children and anyone who is needle-shy, and looking for a natural way to have a normal, healthy life, free of allergic symptoms which include but are not limited to: digestive disorders, IBS, asthma, hay fever, eczema, sinus problems, hives, anaphylactic shock, heartbeat irregularities, arthritis, pain anywhere in the body, etc. Any of these symptoms that are allergy related can usually be effectively treated using NAET. How it works: An allergy in our terminology, is more loosely defined than in allopathic medicine. Energetically speaking, an allergen is anything that the body rejects on some level; it's as if, in the presence of an allergen, the body says, "No, I am not OK with this substance!" and a reaction of some kind occurs. That is when we see the allergic symptoms. With NAET, you get an energetic treatment with acupressure, on specific meridian points, that tells the body that it is OK in the presence of the allergen. The nervous system and immune system are re-programmed with the new information from the acupressure treatment. Now the body can say, " Yes, I am OK with this substance." and no reaction will occur. This is true when a treatment holds. Most of the time, one treatment for a particular allergen is all that is needed (plus avoiding it for 25 hours after the treatment) to clear the allergy to that particular allergen. Occasionally, one may need more treatments for the same substance. What you can expect in your first visit: We will use muscle strength testing (the Nambudripad's Testing Techniques) to see which allergens need to be treated first, and systematically go through the treatment of the allergies that are affecting you. We may diagnose more hidden allergies than you know that you are allergic to, so don't be surprised. You might consider getting an IgE or ELISA lab test done by your MD to compare before and after treatment sensitivity levels. You will probably need between 2 and 15 treatments initially. I will teach you how to do some simple acupressure treatments on yourself at home so that you can continue with the benefits, and not lose the effects of the treatment if you cannot avoid the substance we treated for the 25 hours after the appointment. We will work together for your health improvement. It is recommended you read Say Good-Bye to Illness by Dr. Devi Nambudripad (available on her web site www.naet.com), before your first visit, and get an NAET Guidebook to chart your progress--or you can get this book from me on your first visit. My own family has been treated with NAET and can attest to its amazing results! My oldest son got sick as a baby, at about 6 months old after he started going to daycare and I began weaning him. He had ear infections every month despite having had his adenoids removed and ear tubes put in twice (at 1 yr. old and again at 2 yrs. old), and he also had eczema all over his body. An MD allergist finally diagnosed him with many food allergies with the skin-scratch test, and put him on an elimination diet that helped the skin problem, but it was almost impossible to follow strictly. My son felt left out from what other kids were eating being on his special diet, and I felt helpless to do much of anything. Desperation led me to find NAET and try it. (You may be in this same boat now, I'm betting.) Being a chemist coming from a scientific background, I was a bit skeptical to begin with. But after the first few treatments an interesting correlation between the things the allergist found my son to be allergic to and the same ones showing up by Nambudripad's Testing Techniques our practitioner employed, I returned my son to the allergist to repeat the skin-scratch test. To our amazement, the items he had been treated for with NAET, no longer showed a positive histamine allergic reaction on the skin test! After this, I was sold. It took perhaps 10-15 treatments to completely clear up my son's eczema, but by then I knew enough to help do some of the treatments on him at home, and within a couple months, he was no longer having to take antibiotics for his recurrent ear infections, because they were all cleared up. And to top it off, he was eating all the things he'd previously been allergic to--including corn products, egg whites, dairy, citrus, and more, all with no problems. My younger son has had amazing results also. At 2 months old, he began having diarrhea, with pain and cramping, several times a day, after having had major surgery for congenital malrotated intestines and a liver hemangioma a couple weeks prior. He also seemed to have acid-reflux after eating, and would just wail in pain. We thought the diarrhea might have been from a bacterial infection (like C-dif) he might have gotten in the hospital, or candida infection, but lab tests were all negative. This went on for several weeks with his pediatrician not wanting to do much about it, except making sure he was gaining weight, which he was, and checking that he was not dehydrated. He had occult blood (invisible blood) in his stool, which was abnormal. We were finally referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist, who thought it was most likely allergies to food that I was eating, and these allergens were then in my breast milk. She put me on an elimination diet (no dairy, wheat, soy, eggs, citrus.) I hate diets (who doesn't?) but tried to follow this so our son's allergic reaction would subside. After taking the NAET basic course, I got the allergen vials and was taught how to treat my son for his allergies. It took many treatments for certain allergens, and just a few for others, but within 6 weeks, we had mostly eliminated the main allergies: eggs, dairy, citrus, vitamins & minerals, wheat, enough that after returning to the pediatric gastroenterologist, I was eating my regular diet again, which is a good one, high in protein and vegetables. The doctor was very impressed with his progress--the diarrhea was much improved, and also there was no occult blood in his stool anymore! He was gaining weight faster and feeling much better; his stomach aches were much fewer and far between. He has since been discharged from the gastroenterologist's care since his follow-ups have been so well. So, you can see why I really know that NAET works, and how my family has benefited!
