What
is it that you do there?
We
start with an initial assessment. At that time we
will go over your medical history, do a computerized
allergy testing using BioMeridian’s BEST system. It
tests for approximately 200 items - both food and
environmental. You will get a print out of the results
that day and the results will be reviewed with you.
The initial assessment takes about 1 hour and is not
covered by most insurance plans.
The
treatments we do are called NAET (which stands for
Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique). Using
energy vials and acupressure on your back, we remove
the allergy or sensitivity.
How
do you do the allergy testing?
We
do a computerized testing. It is non-evasive (it doesn't
hurt). A probe connected to the computer measures
your body’s energy against an item or allergen. If
the energy level stays the same it means that you
are not sensitive to that item, and if the energy
level changes it tells us that you are not compatible
with the allergen or have a sensitivity to that item.
But how
do treatments work?
Our bodies
have 12 main energy channels called meridians – each
one flowing through major organs and glands in our
body. When you are sensitive to an item you have blockages
on one or more of these meridians. Using energy vials
and stimulating acupuncture points on your back these
blockages are removed.
What
is an allergy?
Here’s a whole
new definition of allergies: anything that puts
a blockage on an energy channel, to us in energy medicine,
is an allergy.
Allergies are
not always experienced in the typical way as most
people think they are. You could be suffering from
pollen allergies and not have itchy watery eyes or
sneezing and runny nose.
Other major
symptoms of pollen allergies are insomnia, depression
and most anything hormonal such as PMS, dysmenorrhea,
and hot flashes. Some of the not so common symptoms
can be related to kidney problems, and elevated or
low BP.
What
do allergies have to do with energy blockages?
If you get
enough allergies or blockages on any one of the energy
channels in your body you will get disease or less
functioning of the organ associated with the channel.
For example:
an asthmatic has a lot of blockages or allergies on
their lung channel causing them to have less functioning
of their lungs and that’s why they need their puffers,
to make their lungs function better.
With NAET we
remove these blockages one at a time. This frees up
the channel and thereby making the organ associated
with the channel work better so the need for puffers
is decreased or eliminated.
How
many treatments will I need?
Everyone
is different. It depends on how many allergies or
sensitivities you have and how long you’ve had the
allergy. After you have your testing we will be able
to answer that a little better. But it also depends
on what you want. Some people just want, for example,
a cat allergy eliminated and when that’s completed
they stop treatments, get a cat and go on with life;
while another person might want to eliminate all sensitivities.
Will
my insurance cover this?
NAET treatments
are covered with naturotherapy. After the treatment
an acupuncturist will stimulate certain acupuncture
points to balance the energy in the body. This can
be done with needles, a vibrating stimulator or laser.
Any of the above may be covered by Acupuncture.
Will
I need to have needles?
No,
there are a lot of ways to perform acupuncture. Needles
will often be used but as long as the acupuncture
points are stimulated it doesn't matter which method
is used. Other methods of Acupuncture used may be
a vibrating stimulator or laser (ie. if you have any
fears, phobia’s, or anxieties related to needles).
What
is the difference between NAET and acupuncture?
NAET is
when they use the energy vials combined with acupressure
on your spine. Acupuncture is when the acupuncture
points on different areas of the body are stimulated
(via needles, stimulator or laser). This is not necessary
for NAET but it will usually be done.
Can
I still get massages during treatment at the clinic?
Yes,
actually it's encouraged. Therapeutic massages are
good for the body to improve the circulation and help
improve energy flow through the energy pathways. Massages
also help the body excrete toxins produced during
the treatments.
What
is Combination Treatment?
In
some cases, where an allergy is inherited from parents
and grandparents, or the allergy has been a problem
for a long time, one may need combination treatments
to overcome the allergic reactions completely. Possible
combinations include acid, base, heat, cold, enzymes,
hormones, etc. These will be determined by your practitioner
when your treatment is checked on the following visit.
Example:
If after you clear fruit you start getting a
previous symptom such as indigestion when you eat
fruit, you may need a combination of vitamin C and
acid or vitamin C and cold, etc, even though you are
okay with vitamin C alone. If you ever have a symptom
return after it has been cleared you will need to
let us know so that we can determine if a combination
is required. Remember, just one more treatment may
be all that’s needed to make you symptom free again.
What
is MRT?
Kinesiology
is the art and science of movement of the human body.
Kinesiology is used in NAET to compare the strength
and weaknesses of any muscle of the body in the presence
or absence of any substance. This is also called Muscle
Response Testing (MRT) to detect allergies.
It
is hypothesized that a measurable weakness in a particular
muscle is produced by the generation of an energy
disturbance in the particular spinal nerve route that
supplies to the corresponding weakened muscle when
a specific item is brought into it's energy field.
Any item that is capable of producing energy disturbance
in any spinal nerve route is called an allergen. Through
this simple kinesiological testing method, the allergens
can be detected; disturbed spinal nerves and their
nerve routes can be identified, and the target organs,
tissues, and other body parts can be uncovered.
*Practitioners
doing NAET must have a medical background.
