Princeton's Ask The Doctor July/August 2019

A: Q:

What Is NAET? I

Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques, or NAET, was developed in 1983 by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad, who suffered from a number of allergies throughout her life. She believes that “95 percent of human ailments arise from some sort of allergy,” which is defined as a sensitivity to an allergen that causes energy blockages and imbalances. Her years of research led her to formulate a hypothesis that says reactions to an allergen can be reduced or even eliminated by relieving energy blockages and “reprogramming” how the central nervous system processes that allergen. NAET combines a number of drug-free, non-invasive techniques for diagnosis and treatment, including chiropractic manipulation, kinesiology, acupressure, acupuncture and nutrition. HOW DOES NAET WORK? NAET uses a special muscle response technique to test how the body responds to an allergen and determine if a sensitivity exists and where the energy blockage is located. The treatment is performed while the patient remains in contact with the allergen. This makes it possible to reprogram how the brain responds to that allergen. The patient must then avoid exposure to the allergen for at least 25 hours. Dozens of imbalances and sensitivities to substances can be diagnosed and treated with NAET. Only one allergen can be treated at a time, although several similar allergens can sometimes be combined into a single treatment. For example, you might be able to combine treatment for environmental allergies involving pollen, ragweed and grass. It all depends on the individual patient and the level of sensitivity. YOU DON’T HAVE TO ACCEPT ALLERGIES AS PERMANENT If food, environmental or chemical allergies are affecting your quality of life, I’d be happy to discuss NAET with you in greater detail. While no treatment for allergies, sensitivities or any other health condition is completely guaranteed, I have successfully treated hundreds of patients with NAET at In Good Hands Chiropractic Center. In many cases, patients experienced some relief after just one visit. NAET is just one more way I can help you restore balance and stimulate healing without medication.
