What are allergies?

Medical scientists are still researching to find the exact cause and nature of allergies, but may not have all the answers for years to come. From a western medical point of view, an allergy is an over-reaction of the immune system. In NAET, allergies are viewed from a holistic perspective, based on oriental medical principles.

An allergy is a condition of unusual sensitivity of one person to one or more substances which may be harmless to the majority of other individuals. In the allergic person, the allergic substance, known as an allergen, is viewed by the brain as a threat to the body's well-being. Therefore, for our purposes, an allergy is defined in terms of what a substance does to the energy flow in the body.

When contact is made with an allergen, it causes blockages in the energy pathways called meridians, or we can say it disrupts the normal flow of energy through the body's electrical circuits. This energy blockage causes interference in communication between the brain and body via the nervous system.

This blocked energy flow is the first step in a chain of events which can develop into an allergic response. Allergies are the result of energy imbalances in the body, leading to a diminished state of health in one or more organ system.

How do I know if NAET is right for me?

If you are a patient, and would like to find out if NAET could help with your condition, you should read the book 'Say Goodbye to Illness' by Devi S. Nambudripad, M.D. (WI), D.C., L.Ac., Ph.D. (Acu.).

If you suffer from any allergic condition (food, chemical, environmental, emotional allergies) or if your health condition has developed from any allergy, no matter how long you have been sick, or how old you are, NAET can help you.

Please read the book to find a case history similar to yours.

What is going on, Doctor? One minute I feel fine and the next minute, I feel terrible.

If the statistics are true, this question is asked by more than 50% of the people who enter their doctors' offices as patients seeking answers to the misery of allergic reactions to what they inhale, ingest or contact in their environments every day.

If you find yourself in this select group, you know the frustration and hopelessness your condition has produced.

The lucky patients have isolated the specific allergen and are avoiding it, but for the unlucky, the allergen either cannot be avoided without complete isolation, or it remains undiagnosed, resulting in severe and chronic ailments.

Do you mean that allergies can cause real illness?

They certainly can! When a virus attacks, an amazing defense mechanism goes into action. The struggle to rid the body of the invading virus we recognise as the symptoms of illness, such as fever, coughing, aches, vomiting, fatigue, etc.

These are, in fact, signals of the battle that is going on inside the body as it tries to throw off the invading toxins-producing virus. Untreated, the symptoms increase with serious results.

Similarly, continuous contact with an allergen produces toxins in the body, causing similar reactions to occur. An undiagnosed or undetected allergic condition will produce conditions that are equally serious.

Many times the allergic reactions produce symptoms that mimic other diseases. Just about any health condition could be merely a symptom of underlying allergies. If such conditions are not diagnosed correctly, the patient may receive a treatment procedure that may further complicate the patient's condition.

Then my symptoms are real? I'm not just imagining them?

No. You are not imagining them. Allergies in their mildest forms are merely nuisances. But for some people, accidental contact with an allergen can produce terrifying toxins and reactions.

Diagnosis for either is not easy, but the milder the complaint, the harder it is for the patent to get treatment. For instance, how do you treat a person for "feeling out of sorts”, for a slight loss of memory, for a slight but persistent sore throat or cough, for a nagging, dull headache that does not respond to pain medications, for a persistent backache or a tingling feeling in the arms and hands that cannot be diagnosed by a neurologist?

Some of these unfortunate people have seen their physicians so many times that they cannot tell you how many times they have been ignored, diagnosed as suffering from a "nervous disorder" or been labeled a hypochondriac.

How do I discover and treat my allergies?

There are many conventional western medical tests for allergies. Some of them are the "intra-dermal test," "patch test," "scratch test," and various other blood tests such as the RAST test and the ELIZA test, which can identify dozens of allergens from one test or from one blood sample.

In most cases, patients must have had previous exposures to the allergen to get an accurate result.

Up until recently, there has been no satisfactory method for treating a person's allergies. Desensitisation using injections of allergenic substances over a period of months, or even years, has been the standard approach used by medical allergists. This approach is effective in some people for some allergies, but in many it does not do the job, especially with food allergies.

Another standard treatment is using drugs, either antihistamines or drugs like Claritin, Piriton or steroids to control allergic symptoms. Unfortunately, this does not correct the underlying problem, and often has serious long term side effects.

The most effective treatment option until now has been complete avoidance of the offending allergen(s). This can be difficult at best, and impossible in some cases.
Now however, there is an alternative.

Traditional allergy testing and treatments sound painful and expensive and don't seem to deal with the real problem, the allergy. How can I get rid of my allergies once and for all?

Now we have NAET.

Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique is a truly revolutionary system for dealing with allergies... one of the most stubborn health problems facing mankind today. It is a natural, drugless, painless and non-invasive method which can be used safely on individuals of any age (infants to the elderly) and regardless of the individuals’ health.

Allergies can be eliminated through NAET, along with the symptoms arising from the allergens. Allergens are cleared (treated) one at a time with this technique, and best results are obtained if allergens are cleared in a specific sequence. Normally only one item is treated on a given day. The substance must then be completely avoided for 25 hours following the treatment.

In most cases, that's all it takes... one session to eliminate an allergy. Individuals who are highly sensitive may sometimes require additional combination clearings.

Do you mean there is a treatment for my health problems?

Yes. At last there is freedom from allergies and ailments arising from allergies. Dr. Nambudripad's knowledge in Eastern and Western medicine gave her the insights and guided her into the discovery of this unique treatment to overcome her own serious allergic reactions to foods.

Her own story is an amazing one, which is appropriate for the discoverer/developer of such a revolutionary technique. She tells her story in the book, 'Say Good-bye To Illness'. It contains fascinating case histories of various health disorders, as well as some of the theoretical basis for the technique and her story of its discovery.

It is recommended reading for anyone wanting to find relief from their allergies, and for anyone with a chronic health problem large or small.
