NAET treatments build upon each other. People come for a series. For all health
issues, the protocol is to start with treating the 17 BASICS which are the
micronutrients of food ie eggs, calcium, sugar, iron, yeast, grains, as well as
digestive factors. After the body is desensitized to the 17 BASICS, we determine
what the next treatments should be based on the progress so far and the symptoms
or disease. For serious conditions or symptoms which have been going on for a
while, more treatments are necessary. As the treatments accumulate, changes
occur. We evaluate continuously to make sure things are moving in the right
direction and you’re experiencing results. Typically, patients start to notice results
within the first several treatments. With a healthy lifestyle, the effects have been
shown to be lasting.
No. The protocol has been updated. We do not need to do the gate points with
acupuncture or acupressure in the office anymore. I still offer it as an added
modality for patients who wish to have acupuncture as well.
Acupuncture needles are used to either tonify or disperse the flow of energy or Qi
(pronounced chee) through specific channels in the body. These channels were
identified thousands of years ago, and have access points throughout the body. Pain
is usually a blockage of energy or Qi, and weakness of an organ or tissue is usually
caused by a deficiency of energy or Qi.
With acupuncture, needle sensations are usually minimal to nothing. When the
needle access energy or Qi, one may feel sensations of tingling, electric, throbbing,
heavy, dull or aching as the energy moves and balances. Patients often feel relaxed
during a treatment.
All the needles used in my office are new, prepackaged and sterile. They are used
for only one insertion on a patient and then disposed of in a biohazard container.
Patients report the NAET acupressure technique on your back usually feels good or
relaxing. If we do acupuncture along with it, you might get sensations of Qi (Chee)
which could feel heavy, throbbing, dull, tingling or electric. These are all felt as Qi
comes to the point. We don’t need to do acupuncture though.
The first session is 60-90 minutes. It’s where you tell me about your main
complaints. I ask lots of seemingly unrelated questions and then come up with an
Oriental medical diagnosis. I’ll also tell you more about NAET and how to do the
treatments successfully. There’s so much to learn!
Next we’ll use the diagnostic of Applied Kinesiology or Muscle Testing to
ascertain your response to homeopathic vials which hold the frequency of the item
we’re testing. If your arm is strong while you’re holding the vial, your body’s
energy is flowing and there’s no allergy. If your arm is weak while holding a
certain vial, it indicates an allergy or adverse response to that substance. Energy
stops flowing through channels when the body is having an allergic reaction,
because the immune system is setting up blocks or firewalls trying to keep that
substance out and/or expel it from the body. This makes the arm muscles weak,
and also creates the symptoms of allergic reaction or chronic ill health.
Then we get to your first NAET treatment.
In follow up sessions, which are 30 or 60 minutes, you can get right on the table
and start relaxing. We check in and get to a treatment right away. Usually this will
be 2 steps. We’ll boost something that’s already treated and make it even better.
Then we’ll move on to treating a new item.
