NAET Treatments

Through a friend of a friend, I came into contact with a wonderful lady in Montana, who is a chinese herbalist and accupuncturist.
She has been doing NAET treatments on patients for 3 yrs but, had not tried them on a child with Autism, so when I contacted her and told her I had 3, she volunteered to do the NAET treatments for free as a trial and so that I could act as a reference which I gladly agreed to do.
I chose to do Nathan first as he is the oldest.
He just loves it there. He never gives me a hard time about entering the building.
And today, he could hardly wait for Shirl to make up his bed before jumping on and stripping off to lay there quite comfortably covered in his blanket.
He often throws out words for Kay and Shirley also and answers their questions. Obviously, he feels very loved and welcomed there. It is a peaceful environment.
He goes once a week or as close to it as we can manage.
NAET or Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques was developed by Dr Nambudripad in 1983 and she has been using it quite successfully since then on children with Autism with startling results.
Basically it is a desensitization of allergies which leads to a decrease in Autistic symptoms.
I think it is definitely working on Nathan.
I have seen more clarity with his speech.
Another big change for him was when we were doing the egg allergen removal, he stopped drinking milk which for him was a big thing.
He could down a gallon a day easily and he had a very rotund, firm abdomen.
The next allergen to be removed was milk, but, how could he have known that and weaned himself independently.
Well, since he had the milk allergen removed, his abdomen is no longer firm and distended. In fact, he dropped a pants size in one weekend just because his abdomen shrunk.
He can drink milk now without a problem but, he limits himself and may only have one cup a day.
Dr Nambudripad has written many books on the corelation between allergies and illness.
NAET practitioners can be found at www.naet.com
You know, it wouldn't hurt to approach your local chinese herbalist or accupuncturist and if they do NAET offering your child up and offering to write references once the child's treatment is done. Talk nice, you may be able to get your treatments heavily discounted or free which would be better.
There are many treatments out there that work to varying degrees and I definitely think this is one to consider and try.
There are no side effects.
Check out the book from the library: Say Goodbye To Allergy-Related Autism by Dr Devi Nambudripad.
