If we apply the fundamental tenet of oriental medical theory which asserts that everything on earth is surrounded by an electromagnetic field, this “adverse response” can be defined as “an energy imbalance (in the body) caused by the clash between two or more incompatible energies”. This conflict creates energy blockages in the meridians (energy pathways), and accumulated blockages can cause various complaints and pathological conditions. These incompatible energies or energy imbalances are considered synonymous with “allergies” in the context of the NAET method.
Dr Nambudripad realized stimulation on the Acupuncture points of the body, while in contact with an allergen, would allow the body to reboot the brain’s often genetically contorted belief that it could not tolerate certain substances. By stimulation, the brain can focus on the particular energy of the allergen to allow release of previously reactive conditions. The brain reacting to substances cause a release of Immunoglobulin’s (IGe) which the each body can react to in different ways, causing symptoms

How are the allergens diagnosed?

Dr Nambudripad has used technique’s devised from Kinesiology to test the patient using muscle resistance technique while the patient is holding a homeopathic vial that copies the energy of any allergen to test. The patient holds a vial in their hand and the energy is strength of the muscle is tested. If weak, the patient is showing an allergic response, they are registering an electromagnetic energy that would cause allergic reaction, if no change in strength, there is no reaction.

How is the treatment instigated?

The patient holds a vial of the allergen, the fingers are the sensitive skin region that picks up the electro-magnetic field energy from the vial.
Dr Nambudripad discovered that if the roots of the sympathetic nervous system are given specific stimuli, with acupressure, or acupuncture, the brain will receive messages that enable it to correct its faulty perception of the substance concerned (the equivalent of a computer “reset”). These new messages will be permanently imprinted in the brain after a number of other acupressure/acupuncture points have been stimulated, provided the patient follows certain precise rules for a specified time period after the treatment.
This “reprogramming” constitutes the core part of the NAET methodology, and this theory has been extensively verified for more than fifteen years with highly satisfactory, long-lasting results.
After the treatment, the incompatibly or clash of energies disappears completely and there is no trace of allergy, sensitivity or intolerance when the patient next comes into contact with the substance. This is because NAET treats the cause of the allergy, not the resulting symptoms.
