What is Sensitivity Elimination Treatment?
You probably found my site after doing an internet search for NAET or BioSET, or by searching for machines used in sensitivity elimination treatments, like the excellent ZYTO Elite. But, you still might not be familiar with what sensitivity elimination treatment is.
SET-DB is a protocol that eliminates a sensitivity response.
This means when you perform SET-DB on someone, they'll no longer react to what you cleared them for. Dr. Nambudripad called this treatment Allergy Elimination Treatment.
Is it allergy or sensitivity?
I believe what we're dealing with in this type of protocol are sensitivities, not true allergies. That’s why I call my treatment Sensitivity Elimination Treatment by Dr. Boothe.
Allergy is a medical term. For something to be called an allergy the substance has to illicit an immune system response, usually involving IgE antibodies. If there is no immune response, there technically is no allergy.
My patients often told me their allergy tests were negative, or mostly negative. When they asked their allergist what was causing their "allergy" symptoms, they were told something like, "Oh, you're just sensitive to a bunch of things."
Does a patient care what something that's making them feel bad is called? Absolutely not. What they want is to feel better, and SET-DB™ helps them feel better.
Let me throw this in, just to muddy the waters. I've cleared patients with anaphylactic allergies and they were able to eat the food the following day. I know other practitioners who have done the same. So, clearing a sensitivity obviously had an effect on a true allergy. Think about that for a while.
History of Sensitivity Clearings
In my view, there are two pioneers in SET: Dr. Devi Nambudripad and Dr. Ellen Cutler.
To my knowledge, that sensitivity reactions could even be cleared was discovered by Dr. Devi Nambudripad, serendipitously, while she studied acupuncture. She refined the process over the years and began teaching it to other practitioners, calling it Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET). (Read my NAET page for my thoughts on Dr. Nambudripad’s protocol.)
Dr. Ellen Cutler ran a busy NAET practice north of San Francisco, in Marin County. Shortly after she had a positive experience with enzyme therapy, she developed her own technique: BioSET. She changed the clearing procedure a little, added enzyme therapy and homeopathic detoxification, and improved on Dr. Nambudripad’s overall approach.
Do Sensitivity Elimination Clearings work?
They most assuredly do. At least the way SET-DB™ practitioners do them. I believe SET-DB™ works every time, with very few exceptions. NAET and BioSET worked, but their clearings often have to be repeated in the office or at home by the patient.
There have been other protocols over the years that purported to eliminate a sensitivity response, but they’ve seemed to have fallen by the wayside.
