NAET, Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques, is a natural therapy used to eliminate allergies of all types using energy balancing, muscle testing and treatment protocols derived from Chinese medicine, allopathic medicine, chiropractic, nutrition, and kinesiology. NAET was discovered by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad in 1983 and can be used safely on everyone including infants and children, elders and patients in a coma.

Allergens Treated by NAET
NAET can successfully eliminate adverse reactions to food, chemical, and environmental allergens, pathogens, vibrations and physical sensitivities like heat, cold, dampness, and wind. Examples of allergens include vitamins, herbs, eggs, milk, peanuts, penicillin, aspirin, mushrooms, shellfish, latex, grass, ragweed, flowers, perfume, animal dander, make-up, chemicals, cigarette smoke, computers, pathogens, exercise, chemotherapy, vaccinations and immunizations.

Causes of Allergies
Allergies are the result of energetic imbalances in the body and can be caused by one or more of the following factors: heredity, environmental toxins, low immune system functioning, physical/emotional stress or trauma, malabsorption disorders, toxins produced in the body from infections, yeast, parasites and heavy metals.

Treatment of Allergies: Western medicine versus NAET
Western medicine attributes allergies to an over-reactive immune system where an allergic person is highly sensitive to substances that are often harmless to the majority of individuals. The brain misinterprets the allergen as being a threat to the body's well-being, and as a result various symptoms arise such as runny nose, sneezing, pain, fatigue, etc. Western medicine tests for allergies using any of the following methods: Intra-dermal test, Patch test, Scratch test, RAST test, ELISA test. Western medical treatment involves drug therapy (antihistamines or steroids) to control allergic symptoms. This approach, however, does not correct the underlying problem and can lead to serious long term side effects.

NAET views allergies from a holistic perspective based mainly on Chinese medical theory, which defines an allergy as a substance that creates disharmony and blockage in the energy flow in the body. This energy blockage interferes with proper nervous system communication between the brain and body which eventually leads to an allergic response. In other words, there is an energy imbalance between the electromagnetic energy of the person and the allergen which then causes symptoms in the person's body. Total health declines over time if a person's energy pathways are continually blocked due to the presence of allergies. Once a person has been completely treated for a particular food or environmental allergen, it is no longer necessary to avoid it because of the body's reprogramming. Until the discovery of NAET, complete avoidance of the allergen was the most effective treatment option which can be difficult and sometimes impossible.

Number of NAET Treatments Needed
Before beginning treatment, each patient is required to read Say Goodbye to Illness, by Dr. Devi Nambudripad. Each session involves the treatment of one allergen at a time. A person with mild to moderate allergies may require 15-20 treatments to desensitize 15-20 allergens. However, highly sensitive people may need additional treatments.

Cost of NAET Treatments:
For adults, the initial treatment is $130 (one and a half hours), and the follow-up visits are $75 (one hour). For children (under 18 years old), the initial treatment is $75 (one hour), and the follow-up visits are $60 (40 minutes).

What to Expect during an NAET Treatment
Muscle testing procedures are used first to diagnose the allergen(s). Then a systematic treatment procedure combining acupressure and acupuncture is given to reprogram the brain with a new message about the allergen. After each session, it is necessary to avoid the treated allergen for 25 hours. After that time, exposure to the allergen should not create an allergic response.

NAET Testimonials:
Sara O. "I have suffered with lactose intolerance and intolerance to milk proteins for about 14 years before I knew what it was. After having two treatments of the NAET, I could eat dairy again without the rest of the day or two days being ruined with gastrointestinal problems! Twenty five hours after the last treatment I ate dairy and haven't stopped yet! I really do feel like this has changed my life! I can enjoy food again!"

Aubrey A. "I started my NAET treatments with Nicole a little over a year ago. After the birth of my third child, my health never seemed normal. I started taking supplements such as Vitamin C, a Multi-Vitamin, Vitamin D, Calcium and started some herbs. This actually made me feel worse. I started experiencing flu like symptoms, body aches, low grade fever, pain on either side of my body, bladder irritation. I went to an acupuncturist in Florida who gave me some herbs for the flu. I started taking those and began experiencing heart palpitations, internal chills, diarrhea, brain fog, anxiety. I actually thought I was having a nervous break down.

"I had ordered the NAET book after reading some of the info online about it. After reading just a few chapters I knew this might be what was wrong with me. I stopped all supplements and herbs. Within a week I saw a huge improvement. I would still have bad days and began to see a pattern with what I had eaten the day before. I always knew I was allergic to certain herbs and medications growing up but not really food. After beginning my treatments I felt worse at first, but gradually started to see an improvement. Sugar took multiple treatments and was the hardest for me to pass but once I did I no longer had cravings for sweets, for me that was HUGE. I had a range of symptoms during my treatments most described in the NAET companion book.

"Some of the biggest improvements I saw were after passing Calcium, no more brain fog. Vitamin C was part of my bladder irritation and muscle aches. Hormones helped with my PMS. After being treated for viral mix I no longer got cold sores, and my overwhelming fatigue disappeared. This has been a truly amazing experience for me, and I know I would have spent 10s of thousands of dollars at a regular doctor and still not know what was wrong with me. Nicole is great because she teaches you how to treat yourself and that empowers a patient to continue their health care at home. I have had close to 20 treatments by Nicole and have treated myself for dozens of things that bother me. I have also had my son go through the basic treatments (7 total) and now my husband is doing the same. It has been a small investment that I know will save our family much money down the road. NAET has truly gave me my life back as well as helping me understand my body! I continue to treat myself and visit Nicole when I need extra help. I would recommend NAET 100%, without a second thought."

Virginia D. "NAET has had amazing results for our 2-year old daughter. She has always had trouble digesting sugars which gave her chronic diarrhea. After treatment with Nicole, she can now eat and drink everything with no problems at all. Her immune system has also drastically improved. Before NAET, she would get sick every other week it seemed like, but now it is much less frequent. It has really been a life saver to us."
