What Is an NAET Desensitization Treatment?

Is your quality of life diminished because of sensitivities you have to foods, pets, plants, vog or other sources? You don’t have to remain that way.

NAET is a powerfully effective,  natural treatment method for overcoming sensitivities. Research-backed with numerous case studies that demonstrate its efficacy, NAET can restore your ability to enjoy your life sensitivity-free — able to once again enjoy your favorite foods, sleep with family pets, and breath the air wherever you are while remaining free of irritating sensitivity symptoms.

Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique, also known as NAET, is a non-invasive, drug free, natural solution to eliminate sensitivities of all types of substances using a blend of selective energy balancing procedures based on Oriental medical theory. NAET was developed by Dr. Devi Nambudripad in 1983 and is presently available in clinics all over the world. Many conditions can be helped by desensitization, including asthma, ADHD, sinusitis, autistic disorders, depression, headaches, joint pain, skin disorders and conditions that have been claimed to have "no known cause."

How Does NAET Treat Sensitivities?

NAET practitioners desensitize patients to sensitive items beginning with the basic 5-10 food groups. This means, for instance, that one day we desensitize a patient to many proteins. Another day we desensitize a patient to the calcium foods (milk, cheese, different forms of calcium). Another day we desensitize the “Vitamin C Mix,” which is comprised of vitamin C and most fruits and vegetables. Then another day we desensitize to sugars. Most people feel an improvement in their symptoms before the “10 basics” are done. Even if you have obvious symptoms to environmental sensitivities (e.g., dust pollens, animals, the Hawaiian “vog”) treating for the basic food groups usually helps because this reduces your “allergic load.” Reducing the stresses of the reactions to the foods you eat daily can increase your immune ability to help you be more able to handle other sensitivity sources such as dust, mold, pollens, vog, etc.

After the basics are done, we treat for the main item or items that are causing the patient’s symptoms. NAET employs muscle testing, acupressure and chiropractic techniques.

Steps Involved in NAET Treatment

Before your first visit, we recommend that you become informed about the NAET technique. A great way to do this is by reading one of the recommended books by Devi Nambudripad M.D. An informed patient usually sees better results. This is because informed patients understand the concepts behind NAET and the possibilities that this wonderful technique has to offer. Informed patients also likely and excited to follow through with the treatment protocol and see to terrific results.

The Process

A concise explanation of the NAET desensitization process:

  1. First visit: The patient fills out a questionnaire on or before the first visit. Using muscle response testing (MRT) the patient is tested for a few of the basic sensitivity sources and perhaps a few items the patient brings in that she or he consumes daily.
  2. Then Desensitization begins (explained 3 through 7).
  3. The patient holds the sensitivity source.
  4. Desensitization occurs by using various techniques that balance the acupuncture meridians and remove blockages in the meridians while you are in the presence of a specific sensitive item. This process helps your body become accustomed to being in the presence of the sensitive item with NO REACTIONS while still remaining in a balanced state. This is the main goal of treatment and effectively settles the patient’s sensitivity symptoms to the sensitivity source or sources treated that day.
  5. After treatment, we test to see if the patient’s body is remaining in balance with exposure to the sensitive item.
  6. You will lie down in the presence of the item for approximately 15 minutes. This wait period allows your immune system to become accustomed to a new healthier way of dealing with the previously sensitive substance.
  7. After the wait period we retest you to see if you are still non-reactive to the sensitive item. We also test to see if you need to avoid the item for 25 hours.
  8. On subsequent visits we first retest you to see if you are still non-reactive to the formerly sensitivity substance. If you are non-reactive this means that you are able to eat or be around the formerly sensitivity source substance. (NOTE: This does NOT apply to patients with life-threatening sensitivity conditions. In these cases a different protocol is necessary.) If you need re-treatment for the previously treated sensitive item, we retreat for that substance. If the previous treatment shows to be a success, we move on to desensitize the next most important sensitive item to optimally help your reactions.
  9. This process continues until your unwanted condition subsides. This usually takes 5-15 (sometime more) treatments. Most patients come in for about 15 treatments to see a nice recovery.
  10. We highly recommend that patients come back into the office periodically for rechecking. When a patient comes in at a later date, it is routine that the previously treated sensitive items are still non-reactive. However, a few treatments may need boosting, and we may need to desensitize a few other substances that were not treated during the previous sessions.

Although unlikely, you may have a reaction after an NAET treatment. Reactions usually subside within 24 hours. If a reaction continues past 24 hours, it is likely that the treatment did not clear 100% and you may need an additional NAET treatment for that sensitive item. The most common reactions include fatigue, mild anxiety, possible sadness or a slight worsening of symptoms. If your reaction is more serious, we recommend that you call your doctor or go to the emergency room. (A serious reaction is extremely unlikely but possible.)

Order of Treatments

The order of treatments begins with the basic food groups. Even sensitivities to environmental sensitivity sources such as dust, cats and the vog, will commonly improve after a few treatments for the food groups. This is due to the concept of the Rain Barrel Effect (see "Why Do We Get Sensitivities?").

It is routine for our clients to see improvements in their symptoms by the fifth treatment. Most people either feel that they are better after clearing the basic 5-10 food groups or have seen enough of an improvement in their condition that they decide to continue on with NAET treatments to experience even greater beneficial results.

Below is the order of the 10 basic NAET treatments (note how much is covered with just the basic treatments).

  1. BBF: For body and brain balancing and to help the remainder of the NAET treatments to flow optimally. Egg Mix: Includes eggs, chicken, feathers and tetracycline. This is important because it helps the body handle many protein substances.
  2. Calcium Mix: Includes calcium and dairy products.
  3. Vitamin C Mix: Includes vitamin C and many fruits and vegetables.
  4. B Complex Mix: Contains 16 B vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and others. The B vitamin treatment is one of the most powerful treatments.
  5. Sugar Mix: Contains many sugars, including corn sugar, fructose, glucose and lactose.
  6. Iron Mix: Includes Iron, along with meats such as beef, pork, lamb and some produce.
  7. Vitamin A Mix: Includes vitamin A, beta carotene, fish and shellfish.
  8. Mineral Mix: Contains magnesium, zinc, copper, mercury, lead and many more.
  9. Salt Mix: Includes sodium and chloride and different kinds of salt.
  10. Grain Mix: Includes wheat, corn, rice, oats, rye, millet, and barley.

NAET is a gentle, relaxing yet very effective technique to remove sensitivities to all substances. See these studies showing that NAET WORKS!
