Naet?

I just read about this the other day. Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) It is supposed to get rid of your allergies. I know celiac is not an allergy but I was looking around on line and some people say it has cured them of celiac. There is a dr. in my chiropracters office that does this. I might ask her next time I go in.

I was just wondering if anyone here has tried it and if so what did they do and did it work?

Celiac Disease is a genetic auto-immune disorder and cannot be cured. Anyone who says it can be is wrong. I know people who have used this technique to help with certain allergies (to wood and such) and it worked but allergies are very different from Celiac Disease.

I did a partial thing with this. It takes several visits to do the complete run of it. I ended up not being able to finish due to a change in job circumstances, but I got about a third of the way through it. Honestly, I haven't had much of a problem with nasal allergies since then, and that was about 6 years ago. But you're right. Celiac is genetic and not an allergy. BUT, from what I understand, people with celiac sometimes have other food allergies; even wheat allergies on top of celiac, so it's something to keep in mind for any allergies you may be faced with. And who knows, there's the possibility that it could "take the edge off" celiac symptoms, but your immune system would still be attacking your intestines if you ate gluten, even if your symptoms improved. So the people who think they've been cured, if they truly have celiac, are, unfortunately, probably doing themselves a lot of harm that they just can't feel right now. It would be interesting to see if their blood work or biopsies have shown improvement though.

NAET will do nothing for celiac and in fact probably does nothing for anybody.

NAET Did wonders for my allergies ... but beware the doctor that tells you that you can have gluten after treatments :o The doctor that treated me in Calgary has Celiac in his family and said with absolute certainty that you can NEVER have gluten again.

I was treated for several food allergies and a nickel allergy and I can wear nickel now without ever getting a rash!

Celiac disease is biochemically a different type of process than an allergy. While I won't debate the validity of NAET for typical (IgE) allergies, it will not change the expression of your genes.

I guess I must throw in my two cents worth on NAET.I did go through the series of NAET treatments and found myself felling better , I traveled over 1 1/2 hours to get to a tester.Then after a time lapse I found a Bio-Set naturpath closer and this is done by computer and a bit more reliable. I've been told for years I have fibromyglia, arthitris, from there it went down hill to MS to Lou Gerhigs disease. At this point I was told expect about 3 to 5 years of life. At this point I tried every kind of therapy I could think of.

I first had tons of testing completed, from there I went on thryoid meds , put on this by an allergy Doctor who does conventional and non-conventional treatments. My thyroid tested at 3.5 which is supposed to be the norm, and it might be for some.But this doctor had me take my pulse and temp every morning before getting out of bed for one month. MY pulse would be in the high 50's or the low 60's and my temp was always around 89 - 93. once on the thyroid med I started to have energy . I then began the next step to reduce all other things that seemed to burden my system through BIo-Set. I can honestly say it's been 31/2 years and my pain is 80% gone and I can enjoy my life. No it has not helped with my gluten allergy but I feel most people with celiac also have other allergies. I do not know of one person who only has celiac's. In treating other alergies one feels better even though they still have the gluten allergy.

I for one swear by Bio-set .... It gave me a life back.......

thanks for reading.

Also I think one must find a really qualified doc in this because that is why folks think it's a scam......

I tried NAET... I thought it was a waste of time, money and a bunch of hooey.

Guest Viola

My NAET treatments consisted of a combination of accupuncture, heat pads and relaxation techniques. Although a couple of my allergies were not cleared up, for the most part I can eat almost anything except gluten and I can now wear watches etc. containing nickel. The allergies that didn't clear up completely were dust, perfumes and pollens. I believe that happened because you have to completely avoid what ever you are allergic to for a full 25 hours after treatment. And as we were staying in a hotel, it's impossible to avoid those things. I did have my cat allergy cleared up too, which makes things nice when visiting with people who own cats.

Before the treatments I was down to eating fruit, veggies and some bare meats, no spices, dairy, corn, or rice.

I believe you really have to be pickey about finding a doctor and making sure they are Celiac educated. One I went to tried to convince me that I could eat Spelt even without the treatments and could eat anything after. I didn't go back after the "get to know you" first visit.

I found the treatments were very pleasant and came out of each one relaxed and feeling good about myself. To me, it's worth a try ..At the worse, it won't work, but you'll have some good 'spa' treatments. At best it will and you will be able to reintroduce some foods into your diet ... That doesn't mean you can go out and have a quart of milk the next day after the dairy treatment, but you can certainly have a small glass, after you 25 hours are up.

wow it sounds neat if it could really work. My mom has a ton of allergies it would be awesome for her!

I wonder if it works for people with really bad allergies. My husband is fatally allergic to peanuts. Even if he couldn't ever eat a peanut maybe it would give him more time to get to the hopital or something like that if he accidentaly ate one.

My prayer is that one day we will find a cure for Celiac. :rolleyes:

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?
    • jenniber
      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
