My Autistic Son's NAET Treatments

In October of 1983, Dr Devi Nambudripad developed NAET in response to her own illnesses.

She was trying to find a cure for several conditions that had plagued her for many years.

The resulting treatment was a combination of kinesiology, nutrition and chinese accupuncture or accupressure.

She named it Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique or NAET as it has come to be known for obvious reasons.

The theory behind this is that allergies cause most of the health issues that plague us today.

The kinesiology part which is basically muscle testing to determine what you are allergic to.

The allergy is then removed using accupuncture/accupressure.

After that there is a 20 minute period where the allergen is placed on your skin.

When all this is completed, the allergen then has to be avoided for 24-30hrs.

On retesting, you should not be allergic to the item anymore and any symptoms that you may have exhibited in the past, should disappear.

As no one knows for sure, what is causing Autism, it is possible that it may be allergy related, either to the immunisations or some environmental toxin.

Dr Nambudripad did a study on 30 Mute children with Autism.

Out of the 26 that actually finished the NAET treatments, 23 had their diagnosis of Autism revoked.

This is encouraging news for parents with Autism.

The initial testing for allergens will tell you whether or not your child may have some chance of improvement.

It is not easy to do NAET on some children with Autism as they won't stay still for the required period. In instances like this, a surrogate is used.

It is possible to treat for NAET using a surrogate. Basically what happens is that the treatments are done to the surrogate while they are holding onto the Autistic child. The effects of the treatment are transferred to the child. The muscle testing is done in the same manner.

Nathan has completed 17 or 18 of the required treatments.

I believe there are 50 in total.

So far, I have seen a greater clarity in the small amount of speech that he does have.

I have also noticed that the stomach distention that has plagued him for years has gone. He is a chunky little teddy bear but at least he does not have to live with the discomfort that the abdominal distention must have been causing him.

An example on how clear his speech is becoming: Since October of last year, I have noticed Nathan standing at the window looking out saying something that sounded like "critisize".

This upset me as I didn't like him repeating at fairly frequent intervals a word which appears so negative.

Last Friday morning I took him back for another treatment, he had been treated for caffeine and spices the day before, I was tickling his tummy in the waiting room and talking to him and he turned to me and said "Christmas Time"

Then he said "Christmas Day", both as clearly as if you or I had said them.

Then I realized, he associated the snow outside with Christmas, and all this time he hadn't been saying "critisize", he had been trying to say "Christmas Time".

That was one heck of a revelation!

How wonderful. I know that it is only a matter of time now till his speech improves more and with speech will come a greater social awareness.

I will update every three months so any parents interested in trying NAET will know how it is going.

I really think this is a treatment that is going to have a major impact on Nathan.

The changes that I have seen in Nathan over the past few months have been phenomenal.

There is so much new information that I think I will do a new hub on it.

He is coming along beautifully.

Look for it!
