N.A.E.T.

NAET views an allergic substance as any material that causes blockages in the body’s energy pathways, commonly called meridians, disrupting the body’s functions and resulting in a variety of symptoms.  The symptoms are simply the body’s way of telling us that there is an energy blockage.  Unlike the traditional view of allergies as an overreaction of the immune system, NAET offers a way to correct the energy imbalances and restore the patient to complete health.  By removing energy blockages, NAET eliminates the allergy and the resulting symptoms.

According to the NAET theory, when an allergen enters or contacts the body, there is a reaction between the energy field of the allergen and that of the allergy sufferer.  In the initial reaction, the brain identifies the allergen and alerts the immune system, which then locates the allergen and responds by producing antibodies.  As the immune response progresses, histamines are released which block the flow of energy through the meridian pathways. The blockage of an energy meridian can result in the exhibition of a variety of symptoms.  The type of reaction or symptom is dependent upon the meridian which is blocked.

NAET uses Muscle Response Testing (MRT) to indicate the energy imbalances caused by the allergen and then acts to clear energy blockages. The patient holds the offending allergen.  Chiropractic techniques are used on the spine to stimulate the spine and to clear blockages in the meridian pathways. Acupuncture points are then stimulated to balance the body's reaction to the offending allergen.  The body can take up to 25 hours to clear its pathways and “clear” the allergic substance.  During this clearing time, the offending substance must be avoided so that the body can rebalance itself.  Normally, only one substance is treated at a time.  If an individual is sensitive to numerous allergens, repeated NAET treatments are usually required.  However, once an individual has cleared a particular allergen, they should not require treatment for the same substance again.  At the end of the 25-hour period the patient can "challenge" the desensitization process.  It is important to realize that muscle testing is not a definitive test for allergens.  The ultimate test is coming into contact with the offending substance again, and seeing if any energy blockages and/or symptoms return.  Remarkably, for most patients, after one treatment, the allergic substance no longer produces symptoms.  (Sometimes several treatments are necessary depending on the severity of the allergy.)
