1. What is an allergy?

An allergy is a condition of unusual sensitivity of a person to one or more substances, which may be harmless to the majority of other individuals.

In the allergic person, the allergic substance (known as the allergen) is viewed by the brain as a threat to the body's well being.

2. How do Allergies develop?

Doctors and health specialists are not exactly sure why some individuals are susceptible to allergies and others are not.

Many times allergies are passed from generation to generation or many times skip a generation.

Many authorities feel that allergies can be developed in utero when the mother is exposed to certain foods, substances, chemicals, etc.

5. What is NAET Energy Balancing Procedures (NAET EPB)?

NAET Energy Balancing Procedures (EBP) were developed by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad. She is an R.N., PhD in Acupuncture, Chiropractor and has recently received her M.D. degree. She has a clinic in Buena Park, California, where I have personally visited many times.

6. How long has NAET EPB been in existence?

NAET EBP has been researched and developed over the last 25 years.

Top

7. Why haven't I heard about NAET EPB?

Even though it has been practiced for almost 30 years, NAET EBP is still considered a relatively new technology.

Dr. Nambudripad has personally trained over 4500 practitioners in NAET EBP. Unfortunately, these individual practitioners, including us, do not have the tremendous advertising budgets of the pharmaceutical industry to enhance the awareness of this cutting edge technology.

NAET EBP has grown primarily by word of mouth from existing patients and is only now finding its way into the research journals and reference materials.

8. How many sessions will I need?

This is a very difficult question to answer in that everyone has different genetic makeup, body type, histories, and personality. All of these factors will come into play in order to determine the number of sessions.

Top

9. What is the consultation with Debra Lowe like?

The initial Consultation lasts two hours for an interview, painless, non-invasive testing with Neuromuscular Sensitivity Testing (NST), and a NAET EBP session is done. The BioMeridian MSAS Pro computerized system may also be used to gather additional information.  A plan is discussed.

10. How can I tell how much training my NAET EPB practitioner has, whether their training is up to date, and whether they are currently certified?

There is a listing on www.naet.com under the “Find a Practitioner” function (specify “Ottawa”) on the Home page which shows if a practitioner is currentlly certified and which classes were taken and when.  Your NAET EBP practitioner receives a certificate for each class attended and these certificates should be on display. If they are not on display, you should ask to see them.

If your NAET EBP practitioner is not currently listed on naet.com, you might note on their certificates the year in which their training took place. The minimum training requirement to be a certified NAET EBP practitioner is two classes: NAET EBP Basic and NAET EBP Advanced-1.

Dr. Nambudripad is constantly evaluating new devices and techniques for improving the NAET EBP protocol, so NAET EBP has evolved alot in the last 5 years. If your practitioner has not been to a NAET EBP class or Symposium in the last 5 years, they may not be using the latest advancements in NAET EBP.

Continuing education in NAET EBP is part of maintaining certifcation as a NAET EBP practitioner.  In addition to the required Basic and Advanced-1 classes, Dr. Nambudripad teaches 15 different Advanced-2 classes, designated Advanced-2A through Advanced-2O, which offer training for specific conditions, for example, bowel disorders and Autism. Each Advanced-2 class also covers advanced topics, for example, the protocol to treat anaphylactic allergens or advanced testing techniques.  It is not required that a practitioner have taken all of the fifteen Advanced-2 classes, but they should have taken at least one of the Advanced-2 classes within a few years of completing the Advanced-1 NAET EBP class, if they have been practicing NAET EBP for more than a year.

A practitioner is required to attend the annual NAET EBP Symposiums once every 3 years. You can find out if your practitioner has attended a recent Symposium by asking to see their Symposium Program notes.

A NAET EBP practitioner is also required to recertify their NST testing skills annually for the first 4 years of practice and once every 3 years after that.  Your practitioner should be able to show you a recent certificate for NST Recertification if they have been practicing NAET EBP for more than 2 years.

11. My NAET practitioner is doing something that is not described in Dr. Nambudripad's books or the Patient Instructions.  How can I know if I my practitioner is following the NAET EPB protocol?

You are required to read one of Dr. Nambudripad's books or listen to her book “Say Goodbye to Illness” on CD prior to your consultation and to sign a copy of the Patient Instructions (also found on naet.com), both of which have alot of information about the NAET EBP protocol.  If you are being told that what the practitioner is doing  is a “streamlined” version of NAET, be wary.  Your practitioner may not be following the NAET EBP protocol.  If this is the case, you may get temporary relief of some of your symptoms, but your symptoms may return later.

Also, Dr. Nambudripad has 25 years worth of experience and data.  “Streamlined” versions of NAET EBP do not have this kind of experience behind it and there may be unexpected, negative results if your practitioner is not following the NAET EBP protocol. 

Ask questions about what other healing modalities your practitioner uses, and if they are combining any of these with NAET EBP in the same session. For example, if your NAET EBP practitioner is an acupuncturist, only a few "extra" needles, beyond the ten acupuncture points used in the NAET EBP protocol, can be added during a session. I confirmed with Dr. Nambudripad's office in 2008 that NAET EBP should not be combined in a single session with other energetic modalities such as BioSet or with the use of devices such as a BioMat or a Photon Analyzer Mat during the session.

12. My NAET EPB practitioner uses Avoid the Avoidance with every session, and I am not having to do any type of avoidance after a treatment. Is this part of the NAET EPB protocol?

Not strictly speaking. Avoid the Avoidance is used in conjunction with the NAET EBP protocol only when it is not possibleto do the avoidance. As such, it is to be used only rarely, not after every NAET EBP session. You must do the avoidance for at least 25 hours (see answer to #2 above for exceptions), unless you are told that there is no avoidance, and why that is, by your NAET EBP practitioner. 

Top

13. Why have only some or none of the NAET EPB sessions I've received from another NAET EPB practitioner worked?

NAET EBP is not for everyone and you may be one of those people. There are reasons that have to do with you or your NAET EBP practitioner that could interfere with your sessions.  I woudn’t know if this is the case until you were tested.

Top

14. Why is the order specified in the NAET EPB protocol important?

Dr. Nambudripad is continually seeking ways to improve the NAET EBP protocol to make it more efficient.  Her almost 30 years of experience and that of the thousands of NAET EBP practitioners worldwide in the NAET ‘community' is reflected in the current protocol.
