You can see the recipe and photo above, on my blog, but the dish
turned out wonderful. I feel like a glutton for eating such a rich
meal, but it was so good on a snowy winter eve!
Enjoy!

Hi everyone,

  Has anyone heard of NAET?  Anyone every tried it?  I'm assuming if you are still allergic and a part of this group, then you have either never heard of it or have tried it with poor results.

  I am looking into trying this for my son.  I have talked to two people who said they were treated with  accupressure while holding a vile of various allergens, then they were no longer allergic to things like cats, dogs, shellfish, gluten, dairy, eggs, even chemicals like perfumes and chlorine.  This sounds too good to be true doesn't it??  Any feedback you can give me would be helpful.

Thanks,

Nancy

I do know of people who have tried it without positive results and I Know of some who have had good results.
There was more to it then what you posted, though.  It was recommended to the one person I know to take vials of tinctures, go on a diet geared for acid/alkaline balance, and also remove sugars from diet.  SO by the time you add all that in to the holding of viles, you are on your way!

Hi, We've tried it on my asperger's son, my allergenic daughters and me (food allergies.)  It has really helped.  We went from eating 5 things to tolerating goat's milk, fruits, tomatoes, potatoes among other things.  It is subtle and expensive and you have to have some faith, but over the course of a year and a half we are all much better.  Good luck!!!

Thank you so much for your response Amy.  I appreciate it and am looking into it a little more.  We'll see what we end up doing.  I'll let everyone know if it helps my son if we end up trying it.

Subject: Re: Allergy Elimination Technique

[Amy Hilliard]

Dear Nancy, Please let me know if you have any questions.  I am not an expert, but could let you know about our experiences.  Believe it or not, Jack's teacher recommended our NAET specialist because she was using him for some auto-immune issues.  Out of all the treatments and specialists, including Dr. Kenneth Bock, who pretty well-known, the NAET was the most successful in reducing or eliminating alot of allergies.  He still has to stay away from gluten, milk, soy and all of the yucky stuff that processing plants want to add.  However, NAET allows him to again eat fruit, tomatoes, potatoes, etc... This technique has also made me pain-free.  I suffered inflammation in my shoulders, neck and hands for years and I get up every morning without pain.  We also use accupuncture, which also really helps Jack. Good Luck!!! Let me know if you need anything! Amy  Amy Hilliard learningth...@yahoo.com     --- On Sun, 1/10/10, Nancy Sugarman <jduk...@yahoo.com> wrote:

Dear Amy,

   Thank you for your email.  I do have a few questions if you don't mind!

 

I'm wondering if during the NAET procedures, the specialist ever "asked" or "talked to" your subconscious?  If so, can you tell me a little bit about it.....like why he did it and how exactly?  Also, did your specialist try to eliminate gluten and dairy from your son, but it was unsuccessful?  How many times did he try to eliminate gluten and dairy?   Those are two biggies for my son, including eggs, rice, peanuts, honey, almonds, and pineapple.

 

Thank you for your time and encouragement.  I'm really interested in pursuing this treatment and trying not to get my hopes up too much.  I don't know that I'm comfortable with the talking to the subconscious thing, but I'm speaking with the specialist where I live today on the phone to ask her some specific questions about her methods....and we'll go from there!  My husband is skeptical  (and so am I!), so we need as much info as possible before jumping in to try this, and your emails are helping increase our knowledge.  Thanks!

 

Nancy Sugarman

Hi Nancy, We first started with Dr. Larry Bronstein about a year and a half ago.  At that time, he didn't use talking to the unconscious.  I still thought his treatments were odd.  We are very main-stream.  I am a teacher, my husband works for a private business and who used to work for DMV and homeland security.  My Dad is a veterinarian and has always practiced very mainstream medicine.  However, we were desperate and had been going to see an accupuncturist for a few months with dramatic results.  For Jack, this crazy Chinese-energy stuff works.   If Jack's very down-to-earth teacher hadn't recommended we go to this NAET practitioner, we never would have.  I was just looking for a nutritionist (which he also is) to help me figure out what to serve my son for three meals a day.  Dr. Bronstein started muscle testing all these foods and I just sat there and assumed the attitude, "I don't get it, but nobody else has been able to help us."  My husband is away on business most of the time and so I mostly kept what was going on at the appointments to myself at first.  My husband took a ton of convincing.  Actually, I was trying to convince him that the Dr. Bronstein knew what he was doing, at the same time I was trying to convince myself.  However, in time, my husband wanted to see what was changing my son so dramatically and so he eventually came.  The reality is that the allergy tests that the MD's can give only go so far.  Dr. Bronstein was able to pick up on much more subtle allergies.  We went on a VERY restricted diet for about 6 months and then slowly added in more foods.  Last year I would have to pick up my son from the psychiatrist's office.  I would arrive and the principal would be holding the door closed.  He would open it for me and my screaming, kicking, biting son would emerge to somehow injure our principal in front of me before I was able to enter the room and try to calm him down.  (By the way, I am waiting for a music opening at this very school.  Nice, right?)  This year Jack has lost his behavioral plan at school.  He follows the diet to a "T" because he knows how different he feels on it.  He is still not perfect, but alot better.    About two months ago, I finally took my 5-year old daughter to Dr. Bronstein in desperation because she had had abdominal pain on and off for a year.  I had brought her to numerous tests and hospitals to no avail.   He used the questioning system for her appointment.  He found out that she had internalized my stress when she was a one-year old.  He took her off gluten, all dairy and soy and she has been pain free for over a month.    I don't tell most of my friends about this craziness.  I also don't tell my husband everything.  However, I am the ultimate advocate for my children and for them, the NAET system works.  In fact, I am reading my e-mail and thinking that all of this sounds goofy.  However,  my house felt like an insane asylum at times because of my son's behavior and my doctor said, "There's not much you can do about Asperger's."    I am feeling your pain and pray for some relief with whatever treatments you choose to try.   Yours,

[Susan Sellner]

I know from my own experiences that out of the ordinary treatments can work, but it is essential that you find a practioner who is well trained and experienced. If you research Naet on the Internet you will find the main site and I think they have a list of practioners, the number of classes they have had and their years of experience.

Amy,

Thanks for sharing your family's story!   I am so happy for you that you found a treatment that found the cause and has produced wonderful results.  No matter how nutty & dumb it may sound to the mainstream medical thoughts.

Twice in my life I have done the energy testing.  The first time I still wasn't really convinced and dropped it.  This fall I had it done again, because someone convinced me that I needed to become gluten-free.  I don't get into the sub conscious stuff.  My therapist has not done this nor have we talked of it.  I'm not sure how this would be done, therefore can't comment on it.

I believe our bodies do have a magnetic and electric system that may not be well known to all medical people.  So when this testing shows I'm very intolerant to a certain substance....  I'll try eliminating it and see if I feel better.  In just a few weeks, the change was dramatic. I hadn't realized how inflamed I WAS!   I didn't realize what exactly inflammation was and how it manifested.  I can't imagine what it was doing to my internal organs, etc.  It just disgusts me.  I feel like I am getting more energy back.... but am really hoping my endurance would increase!  This is a long battle.  My chiropractor/naprapath said this is a natural way back.  Because of the inflammation I had no energy and was so fatigued (but didn't "know" it:  ie not educated)

 I'm still working on it and am also trying to get my liver working again.  It was not functioning well at all & my midsection was quite bloated due to all of the liquid inside of me!  YUK.   That is getting smaller too.  I am juicing beets, swiss chard, celery, carrots, apple,  & parsley to work on detoxing the liver.  After this first phase I will go to phase two, which is the one most people know about. 

I am definitely trying to get my family to learn & understand with me ;-)    Some are more responsive.  My husband is the last one to "fall" for it.  LOL    I wish that wasn't the case, but it is.

Thanks to all for your comments as well.  I love learning from everyone.

 "Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. "

[Laura Schmitt]

With sharing these stories, I'll throw our experience with muscle testing out there:
Early in our path, before I even knew what gluten was, we had been to many doctors and several specialists.  No one could help my daughter with her chronic diarrhea (and no one even mentioned gluten or celiac to us - I had never heard of either at the time).  In desperation, we tried muscle testing upon recommendation of a friend.  My husband and I were both beyond skeptical, but when your child is that sick and no one could help us, we would have tried anything to help her!

So, we went.  The doctor said no gluten, no dairy, based on muscle testing (and I think no soy and maybe peanut?)
So, skeptical we were, but we tried it and her chronic diarrhea (and some behavior related symptoms) went away instantly.  After 1-2 months, we were told to reintroduce those foods by our pediatric GI specialist (and the muscle testing doctor confirmed she was now cured of those allergies) So, we did, and the diarrhea came back immediately, as did the behavior symptoms.  We were crushed and confused.  We then did IgG testing, which confirmed strong reaction to gluten, dairy, soy, and we went back on the gluten free/dairy free/soy free diet, and the diarrhea stopped.

 When we went back to the doctors, they said to put her back on gluten, get her sick again, and then they could do a biopsy, but there was no way I would have intentionally made her sick once we knew, by the gluten trial, what was causing her illnesses (gluten was her strongest antagonist, by a long shot, and the cause of the diarrhea, as we found out by the process of reintroduction and elim testing).   So we declined that offer and the doctors agreed she has "suspected celiac disease" based on the diet challenge, reintroduction, and challenge.  This was after 2 different pediatric GI specialists who never mentioned any of these possibilities and just labeled her with toddler diarrhea and immune responses...grrr...

So, a couple years later, our daughter was getting sick again and I thought she surely had developed another food sensitivity.  I took her back to the muscle testing doctor (whom I was still very skeptical of).  He said all of her foods were fine.  Her gut was healthy.  Hmm...I didn't get it?  Her symptoms seemed so much like that of her food reactions?  He wanted to muscle test something else, so I said okay.  He got some bacteria vials and tested those and claimed she had a bacterial infection.  I thought he was nuts.  She didn't have a fever?  So, we went to the doctor, anyway, and had them test and sure enough...she did have a bacterial infection! 

I think that is just too much of a coincidence to be ignored.  While I don't really advise others to go do muscle testing or NAET, I think the main reason is because who your doctor is will make or break the success of those visits.  (as with any health care provider...not all doctors are equally talented, experienced)

My mom did NAET and she also did the muscle testing.  Both of those doctors (Chiros) told her that before she did anything else, she needed to treat the Candida issue she had (she didn't know she had Candida).  She got blood test to confirm she did have Candida, and she treated it.  So, we have had good luck, but they NAET doctor couldn't CURE her allergies, as some claim.  They could help her eat healthier, find causes to symptoms and so on, but she still had the same problems digesting certain foods, in the end.  He did treat her for a variety of things, sold many supplements, issued food combining and food restriction rules and so on.

For some people, their food sensitivities are cured, but that is likely because they took the offending foods out, replaced them with healthier choices, supplements to promote healing and so on.  Then the intestinal system was allowed time to heal.  That can be done with any good health care provider.  That is the healing of leaky gut, or gut dysbiosis.  If you find that help from a NAET provider, then wonderful.  If you find it from your local doctor, natruopath, or chiro, then great!
Any path toward healing is a good path to be on :)

Is it OK to say where this Dr. Larry Bronstein is located and / or othter good NAET practitioners? For those of us who might be interested in consulting him. Thanks much! Sondy
