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:

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
