WHOA...Re: repsect is earned ***

[Guest guest]

WHAT are you talking about " procure a paid service " -- what do you

mean? Are you asking if I am getting paid? NO. Are you asking me

why I'm suggesting something that people have to pay for? Well,

people have to pay for enzymes, too. I really don't " get " what you

are saying in that paragraph.

I am not confusing the naturopath and NAET-- I am firmly grounded in

the reality of the situation. The naturopath put my son on L-

glutamine and lactobacillus/acidophilus supplements. We

simultaneously did the treatments with her, and the allergist that

works at her clinic-- the NAET treatments. Yes, muscle testing,

holding the vials of allergens, the whole nine yards.

I would gladly give you details of my son's medical state, the

unusual reactions he had to medications, the whole gory history of

his constipation, anything you want to know.

The supplements were discontinued after about two months... during

this time, he still reacted to pollens, etc. He still got hives from

contact with certain chemicals, and dog saliva. Even brand new

action figure toys (formaldehyde in the plastic) or playing barefoot

on vinyl was causing him to get red blotches on his face. If he

played with socks on; he was fine. My son was obviously sensitive to

contact with just about anything. Yes, his immune system was

deficient from birth because he was born prematurely and was on two

rounds of antibiotics from birth. Not to mention that I kept up all

his vaccines, and he had HepB and immune globulin on the second day

after he was born. So yes, my sons allergens were extreme. As I

said, we couldn't even go outside last summer. The change in him has

been remarkable. Yes, obviously the supplements helped, however, I

could take him down during the highest pollen count days this summer

in WA state when his eyes were a bit itchy, he'd have his treatment,

and then he'd be just fine. Same pollen count, same day, but he'd be

fine.

This is only a snapshot of his health status. I'm willing to write

more if people want to know more. All I can say is, NAET is like any

other medical practice (or non medical in this case)... within every

field, there are people who CAN do it, and people who CAN'T... just

like there are OTs that CAN do Sensory Integration Therapy very well,

there are OTs that CAN'T... there are doctors who CAN do open heart

surgery very well, and others who CAN'T. Just because you have heard

from a few people that weren't happy with NAET doesn't mean it

doesn't work, or that it isn't legitimate. It just means that their

practitioner could not do it as well as some others. We feel

fortunate to have found one who can. I never would have gone down

there except for a friend who had severe IBS, so severe she had to

quit her job. The combined healthcare of the naturopath AND the NAET

helped her and today she is fine. She can eat any food without a

reaction.

As I said, there are people in every field, in every job who may not

be competent.

You ask what do we do now... we don't go down as frequently-- it is a

45 minute drive each way. I am back to work and we have a little one

to take care of, too. We are just going to go once a month at the

most. Ethan is doing very well... as I said, we spent a great day

outdoors today, no problems. Food allergies is something that I only

recently considered for him, and so we'll be treating those too.

Since we can't go down as often as I would like, we decided to try

the enzymes. We've been happy with the Pep and will continue it.

Ethan takes no other meds and I can't tell you what a good feeling

that is!

Improvement was noted, but not much... once I took him off of the

prescription allergy meds, he was still continuing to develop hives

in response to various things.

Yes, but seasonal variations were not a factor-- all of his progress

occurred during the same season-- January-Feb. 2001. It literally

improved that fast. We went twice a week during those times. And

then cut back to once a week after about 8 weeks of treatment.

Gloss over stuff? LIke I said, I had no idea that you wanted every

little detail. I will gladly share it with everyone who asks. I

have posted many times on the SID site, the POFAK site with many

details about his health. Just let me know what you want to know,

otherwise I will literally have pages to write about.

well i have seen so much unfactual

I'm sorry that you have been exposed to so much nonsense. As I said,

I can vouch that it worked for us and that our practitioner is good.

People travel long distances to see them, and they are respected in

the community as helping many kids with autism, Sensory Integration,

etc.
