An allergy is a condition in which there is hypersensitivity and overreaction to various chemicals (allergens), which serves to protect the organism. Occurring in 30-50% of Americans, allergies have become a serious health problem, increasing three-fold in the last 50 years.

Allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic disease in the United States, costing the health care system $18 billion annually.
NIAID, Dec.2004.

Allergies can mimic many illnesses and therefore are often undiagnosed. If left untreated, they could cause an increase in the severity of existing conditions and limit recovery. It is critical that a person gets diagnosed and, if needed, treated for allergies when symptoms are resistant to usual treatments.

Allergies can cause and aggravate many illnesses, including conditions in the respiratory system (for example asthma, bronchitis), gastro-intestinal (indigestion, bloating), genito-urinary (infections, PMS), skin (eczema), muskulo-skeletal (pain), or nervous system (depression). They can aggravate and provoke brain fog, learning disorders, hyperactivity, mood swings.

Where do allergens come from?

We can be exposed to allergens from:

• inhaling (examples: pollen, dust, perfumes)
• items touching your skin
• hair or mucous membranes (cleaners, shampoo, fabrics)
• eating or drinking (foods, beverages, vitamins, drugs)
• injections (drugs, vaccines; insect bites)
• being affected by environment (cold, radiation, electricity, people)
• body chemicals or byproducts of metabolism (sweat)

According to traditional acupuncture, allergens cause blockages in the flow of the body energy circuit pathways, called meridians. This creates imbalances in the energy supply of different organs or systems and diminishes their function. It manifests itself in various physical, physiological and psychological symptoms, including pain, inflammation, emotional stress, etc. Acupuncture treats allergies by eliminating the block to restore energy flow and normalize the state of health. The larger the blockage, the more time and treatments are required for the body to recover.

Allergies generally were difficult to cure or eliminate. But that was before Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET). Dr. Devi Nambudripad D.C., L.Ac., R.N., Ph.D., based on the combined knowledge of conventional Western, ancient Eastern and modern American Energy medicine, developed a unique non-invasive, painless, drugless and quick method of allergy elimination. It helped her overcome her own allergic reaction to food (You can read about it in Dr. Devi Nambudripad’s book “Say Goodbye to Illness").

It is necessary before treatment to find out what exactly is causing allergy symptoms. For this purpose, NAET practitioners use non-invasive muscle response testing (kinesiology) while simultaneously passing under the patient’s bio-electrical field suspected substances one after another. They will create a reaction in the patient’s central nervous system eliminating or confirming a suspected substance as an allergen. Only one item is treated per day.
