What is N.A.E.T.?

N.A.E.T. is the abbreviation for Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique. It is a way to eliminate allergies to foods, environmental factors, and even medications without allergy shots or needles.

Dr. Nambudripad is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, R.N., licenced acupuncturist, a Doctor of Chiropractic, and a Ph.D.. She discovered and developed a method of eliminating allergies using Chinese acu-puncture points. It is truly revolutionary technology that is just now becoming known. She has trained about 2000 health professionals in this technique. I met her for the first time in March 2000, when I flew out to Los Angeles to take an intensive 2 day training course with her at her Center. She has helped literally thousands of people regain their health.

What are allergies?

Medical scientists are still researching to find out exactly what allergies are and what causes them. The answer is still not completely known. From a Western medical point of view, allergy is an over-reaction by one’s immune system to a substance. In NAET, allergies are viewed as an energy imbalance. Therefore, for our purposes, an allergen is defined as a substance that causes blockages in the energy flow in the acupuncture meridians (body’s electrical circuits). These energy imbalances can cause diminished states of health and can affect any organ in the body.

Testing for allergies

Conventional allergy testing uses blood tests such as the RAST or ELIZA tests, or “scratch tests” or “intradermal” skin tests. These have varying degrees of accuracy.

In NAET, a diagnosis of allergy is based on a combination of a person’s history, physical exam, laboratory evaluation, and by the use of Muscle Reflex Testing. With Muscle Reflex Testing, we can determine right in the office whether a particular substance (food, item of clothing, vitamin, medicine, etc.) is causing an energy imbalance.

How does NAET work?

Using specific acupuncture points, in a specific sequence, allergens are cleared (treated) without needles. This technique is like reprogramming a computer. Files in the computer’s memory can get “corrupted”. The body’s cells have cellular memory. When this memory is “corrupted” the body reacts in an abnormal manner to a substance that should not cause problems. Putting in the correct memory allows a permanent solution to allergies.

Where can I get more information on NAET?

I highly recommend reading “Say Good-bye to Illness”. The Nambudripad Allergy Research Foundation can be reached at 717-523-0800 for additional information, or just ask us.
