Growing up, I always knew I had allergies. Although there was never any doubt,
I was not tested for allergies as a child. I figured out some of the allergies
myself - mostly environmental and definitely cats! I never knew I had food
allergies, until...
A few years ago, I started experiencing some physical symptoms that had the
potential to be serious. I saw a Gastroenterologist and Neurologist but did not
find any answers. My Chiropractor mentioned that it could be related to food
allergies. Although skeptical, I did decide to see an allergist and be tested.
For the environmental allergies, I tested at the highest level from a reaction
standpoint. In regards to food testing, I was hard-pressed to find a food that did
not cause a reaction! The doctor told me there was nothing that could be done
for food allergies but to try to rotate my food and avoid the ones that caused
the strongest reactions. That was a stressful time! Every meal became a
challenge and my health concerns continued.
Then, I met someone who told me about NAET. Feeling desperate, I
decided to give it a try. I am a fairly conservative person so the thought that
acupressure along my spine while holding a little vial could eliminate my
allergies seemed pretty far out into left field. Yet with every treatment, I
felt a little bit better. I told my husband that something was definitely
happening. He is way more skeptical than me and guessed that it was all in my
head. My response was, "Well if it will help me feel better, I'll take
it!" When I finished all of the major food groups and some of the
environmental allergen treatments, I no longer had any of the physical symptoms
that had started me on this journey. I no longer reacted to cats!
As I learned more about the science behind the technique, I realized that it
was not "all in my head" and not as far out into left field as you
may think. I became fascinated and knew I wanted to help others dealing with allergies.
Upon receiving my certification as a Natural Health Professional from Trinity
College, I completed Dr. Devi Nambudripad's basic and advanced NAET training, specializing in allergies affecting the Autism, ADD/ADHD disorders. As I work with clients, I continue to be amazed at what can
be done to allow the body to heal itself naturally. Because I know first hand
that it works, I encourage everyone to try NAET and stop suffering!
