Understanding Allergy Treatment from a New Perspective
Allergy desensitizing treatments are not new and have been around successfully treating thousands of allergy sufferers for over 30 years throughout the world. This unique system of treatment care utilizes a body/mind approach for getting to the root of pollen allergen reactions & food sensitivity challenges. It synthesizes an energetic form of medicine that works with the body’s intelligence one food at a time, re-acclimating your mind and immune system to transform antagonistic foods or pollen allergens to become friend and not foe.
One desensitizing method is called “NAET” which stands for Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Techniques. NAET has its foundation principles rooted in Oriental medicine. This 30 year old energetic form of acupuncture maximizes the hidden dimensions of the body/ mind’s innate intelligence, by addressing faulty messages from the subconscious mind.
NAET is a synthesis of five healing disciplines that have been around for decades, with a strong reliance on muscle testing. This allergy method integrates principles of American acupuncture, topical homeopathy, spinal & craniosacral bodywork and nutritional support to desensitize specific allergens. By using energetic medicine to desensitize the body’s maladaptive responses to allergens, we can retrain the mind and body to integrate the allergens in a healthy way instead of producing an unnecessary immune response.
NAET treatment protocols are able to transform outdated over reactive programming to individual foods that get locked into attacking that which we dearly need… healthy food. When you have persistent food intolerances, your immune system is in over vigilent mode and misguidedly sees healthy foods as the enemy. The immune system responds by producing antibodies to specific foods, which results in even stronger reactions. Through this desensitizing process, the ability of the body, mind, and immune system to discern between healthy and foreign substances is decreased. It is important to understand that degree to which your body is able to successfully integrate a food, pollen, chemical or other allergen corresponds directly to the presence or absence of an allergy.
Factors that trigger more vulnerability with food sensitivities are:
- Digestive malfunctions
- Depressed immune function
- Poor absorption of nutrients
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Hereditary factors
- Hormonal imbalances
- Toxic overload
