NAET

Sue Small of Gorham walked into Dr. Kathleen Bartlett’s office suffering from a host of allergies: gluten, dairy, pollen, mold mildew… The list went on. She also had two herniated discs and severe back pain.

Today, she happily eats gluten and dairy, has no more allergic reactions to anything, and her back pain is gone. Herniated discs? Those are gone too.

This treatment truly improved my life”

The treatment she’s talking about is Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique, or NAET. It’s an energetic medicine, and no needles are involved. Dr. Bartlett uses NAET as her primary tool for treating allergies, and she has found it to be tremendously successful.

“If you’re suffering from allergies, this is life-changing. It’s the only technique I know of that actually treats allergies, rather than avoiding them or suppressing them.

NAET accomplishes this by re-programming the body’s nervous system. In an allergic reaction, the body sees a substance as a pathogen, and makes histamines for protection. This sets off a physiological reaction that ultimately causes blockages in the body’s energy channels.

NAET opens up these blocked channels by training the nervous system to see the allergenic substance as harmless, rather than toxic.

Not only does NAET alleviate allergy symptoms, it also increases energy. That’s because when the body comes in contact with an allergen, it sends all available energy to the muscles in a fight/flight response. So eliminating the allergic response opens up the blocked channels and frees up the patient’s energy.

Dr. Bartlett knows first-hand how powerful NAET can be for decreasing suffering and increasing energy. She had avoided eating nightshade vegetables for 20 years due to the arthritic joint pain and low energy they caused. After only six weeks of treatment, her energy levels increased, her bowel functions improved, and she was thrilled to be enjoying nightshades again.

NAET was discovered by Dr. Devi Nambudripad, Ph.D., an acupuncturist, chiropractor, registered nurse and Doctor of Oriental Medicine from California.

Here’s how NAET works: The patient holds vials containing the potentially allergenic substances. Dr. Bartlett uses muscle testing to see if the patient’s immune system is indeed seeing the substance as a pathogen. If so, the patients’ muscle will become weak, since the body’s energy is all going toward immune function to fight the perceived pathogen.

The patient continues to hold the vials while Dr. Bartlett gives them acupressure along their spine, to activate and re-program the nervous system. “Patients tell me it feels like a massage,” she says. After leaving the office, the patient avoids the allergenic substance for 25 hours. This gives the body a break from its allergenic response as it begins the re-programming process.

Eventually, the body no longer sees the substance as harmful, so avoidance is no longer necessary.
