As I explained in the first part of this blog, the NAET system is a method of treating a wide range of allergies. Diagnosis is made by using muscle testing, and this blog explains how treatment is conducted.
Treating Allergies
On the first visit at least ten major categories of food and other substances are tested. These include calcium, sugars, salts, minerals, vitamins and metals. Once any of these substances have tested positive and they have been treated and cleared, other allergens are tested. These are selected according to the individual case history and the particular medical problems that the patient is experiencing. Commonly tested allergens are pollens, dust, caffeine, gluten, and milk products.
The primary form of treatment is through the use of acupuncture points on the back. These points are stimulated by either strong massage or by using a chiropractic adjustor. To reinforce the treatment other acupuncture points are selected and stimulated using either acupuncture needles or acupressure.
For twenty-five hours after the treatment, it is essential that the patient does not come into close contact with the allergen for which they have just been treated. This gives the body time to absorb and maintain the treatment. After twenty-five hours, the patient does not have to avoid the allergen. At the next treatment, using the muscle testing technique, the allergen is retested to see if the treatment has held. If it has not held, the treatment is given again. If it has held, another allergen can be treated.
Reactions to treatment vary a great deal from one patient to another. Some patients report feeling better immediately, while others may find their symptoms may be exacerbated for a few days before an improvement is noticed. The number of treatments needed varies a good deal from one patient to another. Some patients may need only a few sessions while others may require more extensive treatment.

Doctor Nambudripad has also started rigorous research into the effectiveness of the NAET system and NAET.com. The results of these studies can be found on her web site www.NAET.com
