Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Treatment (NAET)
I took the NAET introductory class in the late-1990s. I didn’t return for more training because I decided not to use NAET in my practice.
There are things I like and don’t like about NAET.
There are things I like and don’t like about NAET.
What I like about NAET
- It is a well-thought-out approach to treating sensitivities in a unique way.
- It teaches what conditions can be helped by eliminating sensitivities (just about anything).
- It addresses things like how to collect samples from a patient’s environment and how to treat smell sensitivities.
What I don’t like about NAET
- Too many of the clearings have to be repeated. In my opinion, this causes people to doubt the effectiveness of the procedure.
- There is a 25-hour period after a clearing where the patient must completely avoid any contact with whatever they had cleared. This is okay if it’s eggs, but what if it’s something like dust? When the patient who asked me to learn NAET told me they often had to wear masks after a clearing and stay in their hotel room for 25 hours, I thought there had to be a better way. As it turns out, there was.
- The procedure itself is too convoluted for my tastes and relies on muscle testing, which I dislike.
I recently talked to a NAET practitioner who lives near me. He said NAET is now teaching an at-home procedure patients can do if a clearing fails, instead of returning to the office. He went on to say he had a patient, a young boy, whom he told needed to perform the at-home procedure over 1,000 times! I can’t imagine patient compliance is high for something like that.
