  Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique was created by Devi S.
Nambudripad, DC, LAc, MD, PhD (Acu.) in 1983 based on her combined knowledge of
conventional Western, ancient Eastern and modern American Energy
medicine. NAET is a non-invasive, painless, and drug-free method of
allergy elimination. According to NAET,
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.
This blockage disrupts the normal flow of energy through the body's electrical
circuits, which leads to a diminished state of health in one or more organ
systems. Dr. Nambudripad believes that
most of the causes of common illnesses, like headache, back aches, joint pains,
addiction, PMS, indigestion, cough, body aches, and many more are, in fact,
undiagnosed allergies. Dr.
Nambudripad also believes that emotional allergies can occur when people have
unpleasant experiences connected to eating specific foods.
NAET practitioners use neuromuscular senstivity
testing while simultaneously passing under the patient’s bio-electrical field
suspected substances one after another.
What Exactly is
NAET?
During an office visit for NAET, the patient holds one substance inside a
bottle in their hand while the practitioner pushes on the patient's opposite
arm to test muscle strength. If the patient is allergic to the
substance they are holding, they will not be able to fully resist the
practitioner. If the patient is not allergic to the substance they are
holding, they will display full muscle strength and be able to resist the
practitioner pushing on their arm. The practitioner will continue to
test a series of substances held one at 
a time by the patient until the patient has tested positive for an
allergy to a substance by showing muscle weakness. Once an allergy is
found, it is treated on the spot in the office using acupuncture or
acupressure. The technique involves placing acupuncture needles or
applying acupressure in key points along the body's meridians, typically
along the spine. Then the patient rests for 15-20 minutes with the
needles in place (or without if acupressure was used) while holding the
allergen in a bottle in the hand. The patient is then told to refrain
from the substance for 25 hours in order for the allergy elimination to take
hold which involves a clearing cycle within the body. The patient is
then considered to be cured from the allergy. After each treatment,
the patient will return for subsequent office visits to identify and treat
other allergies. Only one allergy can be treated per an office visit.
It typically takes 30-40 office visits which can be done 1-2 times/week to
completely eliminate all of a patient's allergies. Surrogate muscle
testing can be used to test young children and adults who are weak or
incapacitated, in which the surrogate touches the skin of the person being
tested while the practitioner tests the muscle strength of the surrogate.
Sounds Great, So What's the Problem?
When we hear "allergy" we typically think of things like milk, eggs, fish,
and pollen. Although Dr. Nambudripad considers all of these to be
potential allergens, she also believes that vitamins and minerals can cause
allergies. During her personal treatments, she diagnosed herself with
allergies to vitamins A, C and B-complex (a total of 10 out of the body's
13 vitamins), calcium, and sugar. Never before have vitamins been known to
cause allergies, and are in fact necessary to maintain a healthy, well-balanced
diet. If you are thinking about undergoing NAET, you should consult your
physician first.
Allergens Tested for During NAET
Dr. Nambudripad believes that the order is very structured
and must be followed exactly because one food group is usually linked to the
subsequent one, and that clearing of one allergen could potentially
eliminate the need for treating another allergen group further down the
line. Here is the order of the potential allergens tested:
- BBF
- Egg Mix
- Calcium Mix
- Vitamin C Mix
- B-complex Mix
- Sugar Mix
- Vitamin A Mix
- Iron Mix
- Salt Mix
- Mineral Mix
- Grain Mix
- Yeast Mix
- Acid
- Base
- Hormones Mix
