Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I believe I had that NAET thing done for a while. Nothing that I was allergic to stopped being an allergen as a result of doing it. (Is it that thing where the give you a bottle to hold and then do this chiropractic type pushing along your spine?) If so, I consider it to have been the most wasteful thing I have done for my health (financially). It is up there on the top of my list with those muscle testing allergy treatments (kinesiology). It did nothing for me, but give me a false hope that I could be cured without medicine. For a while I was so desperate for a " natural " cure that I tried a lot of non allopathic treatments that claimed to be able to help, spent a lot of my mothers money on them (I was in college at the time), and they didn't help me. I now choose to think of that time as my gambling phase...because I was willing to try anything. I would do a lot of research about it before spending money on such a treatment. I also have done (am currently doing) allergy shots, and I cannot tell that they are helping me. I am curious if anyone in the group has done them and thinks that they have helped them at all. jbsjbs21 wrote: >i have considered getting naet allergy treatment. does it really work? how long did it take? >i really do not want to do allergy shots again, they never helped me. 8 days til surgery.... > >laura > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 , Yep I spent a fortune on this too. Hundreds of dollars every week. My naturopath was also a PhD in nutrition so I do feel like, to an extent, it was an education and not a wasted expense. The naturopath had had serious sinus problems. She was on the verge of giving up her home and marriage to leave the area because she was so sick. She rebuilt her health and life through dietary changes and NAET. But we're all different and it my case, there was little mitigation disease. Interestingly when i first started on an elimination diet she gave me where for months, I had no sugar, yeast, wheat, dairy or soy-basically no processed foods, my polyps disappeared but they returned in full bloom within months. I lost a lot of weight on the diet though i was eating 2200 calories a day. Also it did help with desensitization to a couple of things for me, including Wine. Being a Californian from a traditional French family, enjoying wine is cultural and therefore important for me. Liz Beldon <abeldon@...> wrote: I believe I had that NAET thing done for a while.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 : If you have been tested for allergy and are significantly allergic then shots which may take up to a year can help but only with the allergic rhinitis and not with the Samters. I am allergic to about everything but the shots were no help although they may help some.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 - see my post I just made about allergy shots. Carol I agree about all the other 'natural' stuff that it is a waste of time and money. Re: naet question >I believe I had that NAET thing done for a while.

That is my main ambition in finding a cure for this because I need to drink it (or at least taste it) for my career. I find it makes me very stuffy most of the time and am off it now whilst I wait for my op. > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi, may I know if a child been treated under NAET, he no longer need to go on GFCF diet? I am rather sceptical about NAET. Had him treated nontheless. He was not a very allegenic child according to the practitioner. Not sensitive to milk or gluten. I still give him GFCF diet just in case the diagnosis is not accurate... Would I need to 'keep up' with the healing by doing the pressure points daily? What happen if I don't? Thanks -- Priscilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'm assuming the GFCF diet made a lot of improvements with your son then? It could be a combination allergy with your son - i.e. casein with gluten, casein with sugar, gluten with nuts, etc. If your NAET is very skilled w/ combination stuff, I would have him check. Otherwise if he was treated, then it wouldn't hurt to do a food trial. No, there should be no need to keep doing the pressure points. I responded to another poster about NAET, and mine has successfully eliminated my IgE allergies to pork and tomatoes. It has also improved my absorption and several other things.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi, Priscilla. I meant to ask you, did your son get treated for the major food groups? For casein, he shoud've been treated for calcium group. Gluten should be grain group. Or did he get treated individually specifically casein and gluten only? And did he get tested for each component of these food groups? i.e. calcium group contains casein, whey, calcium carbonate, etc. On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 8:30 PM, Priscilla Tan <priscillasohsh@...>wrote: > Hi, > may I know if a child been treated under NAET, he no longer need to go on > GFCF diet? > > I am rather sceptical about NAET.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi , Actually, I don't know what he tested. I believe its the general food group. He tested for milk, soy milk, wheat, banana, peanuts etc..are these general or specific? I don't know if he is good or not, we don't have many practitioners in Singapore, so not many options. I was told by a parent that bottle samples need to be held contacting the skin for 15 mins after each treatment, he sometimes did it only for 2-3 mins saying that the allergies are not very severe..so no need to hold for too long. what do you think? tks Priscilla On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 3:14 AM, McCartney <katie.mccartney@...>wrote: > Hi, Priscilla. > > I meant to ask you, did your son get treated for the major food groups?

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 The foods you listed are specific foods and not food groups. If he tested OK on food groups (egg mix, calcium mix, vitamin C mix, grains mix, sugar mix, etc), then it should be OK to treat individual foods. Sometimes a weak allergy shows up in these food groups, and my chiro would have to test me for individual components and treat me for the weakest food. i.e. I'm allergic to pork (4 on skin prick test). Pork is included in the iron mix among 5 other things. He tested me individually for these components and found that I only had allergies to pork and not other iron-containing foods, and this produced the weakest reaction. So he treated pork by itself, and I've been able to eat it w/ no problems. When he treated me for tomatoes, he checked both cooked and raw. Because I was weaker with raw, he treated me for just the raw, and I can eat both forms fine. For shrimp, I showed weaker if it was mixed with shellfish, so he treated me that way. He said that allergies can be hidden by other foods, and these allergies are often worse than more obvious ones. For me, my allergy to yeast mix was hidden by the groups above them that it didn't show up until I got treated for groups above. He checks the foods I passed occasionally to make sure I'm still clear. Sometimes medications you're taking can affect the results of the muscle response test. One time I passed yeast after failing - it was because I was taking an antifungal supplement. And combination is also important - this is still bit of a gray area for me, but from what I understand you can be allergic to something only when you eat it with something else, i.e. beef and carrots (I'm just totally making up the example foods). With an adult, holding the vial and resting for 15-20 min is important no matter how severe/weak the allergy, but with a child w/ more energy, they don't need to rest. But you do need to have the vial on the body (my practitioner usually puts the vial inside a sock) for 15-20 min. I'm sorry to say but it doesn't sound like your practitioner's following all the protocols. There's a new system called BAX that uses laser, and he has seen really good results with it.
