Understanding Allergies

Western Medical Perspective:
From a conventional medical standpoint, an allergy is an overreaction by the immune system to substances that are typically harmless to most people. Despite ongoing research, medical scientists are still working to fully understand the exact causes and mechanisms of allergic reactions.

NAET Holistic Perspective:
NAET views allergies through the lens of Oriental medical principles and energy medicine. An allergy is a condition of unusual sensitivity where a person's body perceives a normally harmless substance (allergen) as a threat to wellbeing.

In NAET terms, an allergy is defined by what happens to your body's energy flow. When you contact an allergen, it creates blockages in your energy pathways (meridians), disrupting the normal flow of energy through your body's electrical circuits. This energy blockage interferes with communication between your brain and body via the nervous system—the first step in a chain of events that develops into an allergic response.

Allergies result from energy imbalances in the body, leading to diminished health in one or more organ systems.

Absolutely. Allergies can trigger serious health conditions that are often misdiagnosed.

Think of how your body fights a virus—fever, coughing, aches, vomiting, and fatigue are all signals of your immune system battling the invader. Similarly, continuous contact with an allergen produces toxins in your body, causing comparable reactions. An undiagnosed allergic condition can produce equally serious symptoms.

Allergic reactions often mimic other conditions:

Respiratory Issues: Bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma

Cardiovascular Problems: Chest pain, poor circulation, rapid or irregular heartbeat

Digestive Disorders: Indigestion, acute abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, ulcers, IBS

Chronic Conditions: Chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia

Reproductive Health: Kidney and bladder infections, prostate problems, PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, impotency

Musculoskeletal Pain: Unexplained body pain, headaches, migraines, backaches, arthritis, restless leg syndrome

Neurological Symptoms: Brain fog, depression, anger, ADD/ADHD, hyperactivity, learning disorders

Skin Conditions: Eczema, boils, slow-healing wounds, hives

Environmental Sensitivities: Multiple chemical sensitivity, reactions to pollens, perfumes, animal dander, carpets, building materials

Just about any health condition could be a symptom of underlying allergies. Without correct diagnosis, patients may receive treatments that actually complicate their condition.

Your symptoms are absolutely real. You are NOT imagining them.

While mild allergies may seem like mere nuisances, for some people, accidental contact with an allergen can produce terrifying reactions—as severe as if they had ingested poison.

The challenge is diagnosis. Milder symptoms are often the hardest to treat because they're difficult to pin down:

  • Feeling "out of sorts"
  • Slight memory loss
  • Persistent low-grade sore throat or cough
  • Nagging dull headaches that don't respond to pain medication
  • Chronic backache or tingling in arms and hands that neurologists can't diagnose

Many patients have seen their doctors repeatedly, only to be dismissed, diagnosed with a "nervous disorder," or labeled as hypochondriacs. This is frustrating and demoralizing—but your symptoms are valid, and allergies may be the underlying cause.

If statistics are accurate, more than 50% of patients visiting doctors ask this very question. The answer often lies in allergies.

You're likely experiencing allergic reactions to substances you inhale, ingest, or contact in your daily environment. The frustrating part? The allergen may be:

  • Impossible to avoid without complete isolation
  • Undiagnosed and causing chronic ailments
  • Intermittent in your environment, explaining the on-and-off symptoms

If you're in this situation, you know the frustration and hopelessness it creates. Lucky patients identify their specific allergen and avoid it. For the rest, NAET offers a solution.

NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques) is a natural, non-invasive treatment that identifies and eliminates allergies and sensitivities affecting your health. For fertility, NAET addresses hidden allergies that may be causing hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and immune dysfunction preventing natural conception.

Most couples require 15-30 NAET sessions over 3-6 months to address fertility-related allergies. Some couples conceive during treatment, while others conceive within 3-6 months after completing their protocol. Results vary based on individual circumstances and the complexity of underlying issues.

NAET doesn't have extensive peer-reviewed research specifically for infertility treatment. It's considered an alternative therapy, and results are primarily based on practitioner reports and patient testimonials. However, many couples with unexplained infertility have reported success after NAET treatment.

Yes, NAET may be particularly helpful for unexplained infertility since it addresses subtle imbalances and sensitivities that conventional testing doesn't measure. Many NAET practitioners report their best success rates with unexplained infertility cases.

NAET sessions typically cost 1000-1500 per session. A complete fertility protocol of 30-50 sessions would cost approximately 50000-80000, significantly less than IVF.

Yes, you can actively try to conceive during NAET treatment. In fact, many practitioners encourage it since the treatments are removing obstacles to natural conception. Always inform your NAET practitioner if you become pregnant so they can adjust treatments accordingly.

Absolutely. Male factor infertility contributes to 30-40% of cases, and NAET can address allergies affecting sperm quality, motility, and hormonal balance in men. Both partners should ideally undergo NAET treatment for optimal results.

Yes, many couples use NAET before or alongside IVF to optimize their health and potentially improve IVF success rates. Some practitioners recommend NAET specifically to prepare the body for IVF by reducing inflammation and balancing hormones.

NAET is generally very safe with minimal side effects. Some people experience mild detox symptoms after treatments, such as fatigue, headache, or emotional release, but these typically resolve within 24-48 hours.


NAET Testing & Treatment

Conventional Testing Methods:

Western medicine offers several allergy tests:

  • Intradermal test
  • Patch test
  • Scratch test
  • Blood tests: RAST and ELISA tests can identify dozens of allergens from one sample

Now we have NAET®—a revolutionary solution

NAET is a natural, drug-free, painless, and non-invasive method that can be used safely on individuals of any age (from newborn infants to the elderly) and in any health condition to eliminate allergic reactions.

How NAET Works:
  • âś“ One allergen treated at a time for optimal results
  • âś“ Specific treatment sequence ensures best outcomes
  • âś“ Usually just ONE session per allergen in most cases
  • âś“ 25-hour avoidance period after treatment (must completely avoid the treated substance)
  • âś“ Highly sensitive individuals may require additional combination treatments

That's it. One treatment session, 25 hours of avoidance, and you're typically cleared of that allergy for life.

NAET can help if you:
  • âś“ Suffer from food allergies or intolerances
  • âś“ Have chemical or environmental sensitivities
  • âś“ Experience emotional triggers that cause physical symptoms
  • âś“ Have developed health conditions stemming from allergies
  • âś“ Want a natural, drug-free treatment approach

Age is no barrier: We've successfully treated patients from 3 days old to 96 years old.

Recommended first step: Read Say Goodbye to Illness by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad to find case histories similar to yours and understand how NAET works.

Important note: If your condition is serious, you have a compromised immune system, or you've been sick for a long time, you may need numerous NAET treatments before experiencing improvement. The book Living Pain Free can help you maintain balance during treatment.

Step 1: Comprehensive Diagnosis

Before treatment begins, you'll undergo:

  • Standard medical testing procedures
  • Total IgE and allergen-specific IgE testing for common food and environmental allergens
  • Kinesiological muscle response testing (NST)
Step 2: Systematic Treatment

Treatment involves mild stimulation of the central nervous system in the presence of each allergen to reprogram your brain with a new, non-allergic response. Most patients are successfully treated using acupressure around the spine to stimulate nerves that carry messages between the brain and organs throughout the body.

Step 3: Optional Acupuncture

Many patients clear their allergies with acupressure alone. However, some may benefit from the addition of acupuncture, which can speed up the clearing process. The number of treatments required varies:

  • Between different patients
  • Between different allergens for the same patient
  • Based on severity of reaction (more severe = more treatments likely needed)

Is acupuncture mandatory? No, it's completely optional and only slightly uncomfortable if used.

Is acupuncture painful? No. It's minimally uncomfortable at most. Acupressure techniques are equally effective, though they may take slightly longer to produce results.

Acupuncture and acupressure points fall along your body's energy pathways (meridians). These methods balance your nervous system and bring your body to a state of homeostasis (perfect balance) in the presence of the allergen.

This reprogramming means future contact with that substance will no longer trigger an allergic reaction. When this is achieved, you're considered "cleared" of that allergy.

In our experience: FOR LIFE.

If clearance is still effective 25 hours after treatment, it is lasting and permanent. Over 40 years of NAET practice, we have not seen recurrence of allergies from successfully treated allergens.

Once you're cleared, it should remain that way for your entire life.

Yes—this is critical for success. NAET requires all patients—infants, children, and adults—to avoid the treated allergen for at least 25 hours after each treatment. Patients who observe this avoidance period receive maximum benefit from the treatment. Some highly sensitive patients may need longer avoidance periods. Your practitioner will specify the exact hours required after each treatment based on your individual response.

Once you've been completely cleared for a particular food or environmental substance, you no longer need to avoid it. This is life-changing.

Why nutritional assessment matters:

For years, your body may have been deprived of essential nutrients because you were allergic to foods containing them. Nutritional assessment and balancing during and after NAET treatment helps:

  • âś“ Restore strength and vitality to your body
  • âś“ Replenish nutrients you've been missing
  • âś“ Optimize your overall health now that you can eat previously problematic foods
