HOLISTIC APPROACH TO ALLEVIATE ALLERGIES CHANGES PATIENTS' LIVES

Allergies affect approximately 35 million Americans, causing them to experience pain and discomfort when they encounter pollen, dust, strawberries, shellfish, peanuts, pets and other allergens. Most allergy sufferers rely on prescription drug therapy consisting of antihistamines and steroids to control their coughing, sneezing, hives and runny eyes and noses. However, several people have found an alternative therapy to end their suffering—Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET)—at the Natural Balance Wellness Center in Sandy Springs.

NAET, a holistic approach to allergy alleviation, is an innovative treatment that is completely natural, painless and non-invasive. It treats the cause of allergies, rather than just the symptoms, and, therefore, offers permanent relief. An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system that occurs when the energy within the body is not compatible with that of an invading substance. NAET, a synthesis of traditional medicine, allopathy, acupressure, chiropractic, kinesiology and nutrition, uses muscle response testing (MRT) to find the source of allergies and other chronic health problems.

NAET treatment stimulates pressure points along the length of the spine, while the patient holds the allergen. After the treatment, a strong MRT indicates that the allergy has been removed. The pressure points are then massaged, and the allergen is avoided for at least 25 hours. The patient then no longer suffers from the allergy or chronic illness. NAET treats allergens one at a time and in a specific sequence, with usually only one item treated on a given day. In most cases, one session eliminates an allergy, but individuals who are highly sensitive may sometimes require additional treatments.

• Allergy Tips
  1) Take a blood test to determine allergies. Don’t get a skin patch test because it is extremely invasive.
  
  2) Don’t count on common symptoms to indicate an allergy.
  
  3) If you have one allergic reaction, assume you may have other allergies too.
  
  4) Avoidance works! If it’s a food, don’t eat it. If it’s pollen or mold, use air filters, clean thoroughly, wear gloves and masks.
  
  5) Don’t rule out pesticides, herbicides or chemicals on foods and other substances. Think about what may be in or on items you eat, touch or breathe.
  
  6) If all of the above are too difficult or ineffective, try NAET. It’s an effective, painless, safe and relatively inexpensive way to eliminate allergies forever!
