Eliminate Allergies?

"You have gone daft in the head," I was told by a very prominent physician. "You cannot rid the body of allergies, especially ones that have been present for years."

My reply was, in a very calm but convincing tone, "Yes you can, for I have seen it with my own eyes and now am carrying out the technique on my own patients. And it works!"

The medical doctor who was critical listened politely, but was obviously not convinced until I told him the whole story. The person who discovered this technique is Dr Devi Nambudripad, a knowledgeable, capable and active practitioner. Her acupuncture pain clinic is situated in Buena Park, California, where she also teaches her technique to others. Actually more than 2,000 people have been taught this. Most are from the US, but others come from all the corners of the globe.

Adversity is still sometimes the mother of invention. In this case, Nambudripad had allergies since childhood. She came to California from India in 1976. Still plagued with multiple allergies, she suffered a great deal. At one point in her life she ate nothing but white rice and broccoli for three and a half years. She is a doctor of chiropractic, a registered nurse and has her PhD in acupuncture.

She suffered from skin rashes, bronchitis, arthritis, insomnia, depression, sinusitis and frequent migraine headaches. One day while cooking her white rice and preparing a meal for her family, she ate a few sticks of carrots and immediately became very weak. Her husband brought in her acupuncture needles, which she used to needle herself for the reaction. She slept for 45 minutes and when she awakened she felt more refreshed than ever. She discovered some of the carrots were still in contact with her body while she slept. The very substance for which she was treating herself was within her electromagnetic field while her acupuncture needles were in the correct combination of points to counteract the allergen.

Spreading the Word

This was the beginning of Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET). With further study, testing and calling upon her knowledge in kinesiology, chiropractic and acupuncture, she came up with this amazing discovery. She eliminated the allergies from her own body, her husband and her son. She and others she has trained have duplicated this recovery to good health in allergy sufferers over and over again.

Only RNs, MDs, chiropractors, acupuncturists and other health-related professionals are eligible to take her courses. She is shaking up the hallowed halls of western medicine, which has no cure for allergies other than avoidance and or allergy injections which don't eliminate the underlying problem.

In the foreword to Nambudripad's book Say Goodbye To Illness, Sandra C. Denton, MD, writes, "I'm a clinical ecol-ogist and I've treated allergies for years–you can't take allergies away–you can make people less sensitive or reactive." In her own words she said she made these remarks in her doctor-know-it-all-attitude.

Denton soon changed her mind as she herself was successfully treated by Nambudripad and later took her seminars. She is now practising NAET. A startling quote from Denton; "What a thrill to treat a patient for an allergy to B-complex [B vitamins] and see her hip pain of 40 years disappear instantly!"

When I studied Nambudripad's course in California, I met a 77-year-old man who was there learning the technique because he himself had been helped so much by the NAET treatments. Still an active ophthalmologist, he had had childhood asthma which eventually settled, but returned with a vengeance in later years. After NAET therapy, he says that he has had 95 percent improvement. He has now completed the training and will start treating patients.
