January 2010
Before having NAET treatments I wasn’t sick but I wasn’t healthy either. I was experiencing a whole slew of symptoms but couldn’t identify what was wrong – there seemed to be no diagnosis for “I just don’t feel right”. Most distressing to me though was the pre-menopausal symptoms I was having despite only being in my mid-twenties.
The NAET testing identified that I had intolerances to most nutrients in food and that I was not absorbing those nutrients into my system. The testing also identified an allergy to my entire reproductive system, allergies to mould, most chemicals, in fact to almost everything I came into contact with on a daily basis.
Once the treatments started I noticed little changes almost immediately but the cumulative effect was more dramatic. My pre-menopausal symptoms ceased, I stopped having cramps after every meal and I even started enjoying foods I hadn’t liked before because of how they’d made me feel.
NAET treatments also helped me tremendously with other medical issues. Three months after starting treatments I broke my leg badly in two places and required surgery to insert plates and pins. After 10 weeks in a cast, my leg was not healing as quickly as expected and the metal was not grafting to my bone. Debra did some testing and we realized that I was allergic to the metal that had been inserted in my leg as well as the scar tissue forming around the break. Debra treated me and the healing suddenly accelerated. My cast was removed a couple weeks later and continued to improve from that point onwards.
A year after I finished my treatments NAET was again instrumental in helping me. After contracting H1N1, I went through the regular course of the virus but had lingering symptoms and felt “off” for months after. The virus had stressed my body so much that it triggered a menstruation cycle that wouldn’t stop. In addition, I had severe inflammation of my healed broken leg, depression, constant mild congestion and other symptoms from pre-NAET treatments. Believing that my allergies were returning, I made an appointment to see Debra. Testing revealed that all my symptoms were actually related to having H1N1. Debra treated me for the virus and all the symptoms disappeared within a week. This was months later and I had not thought that it could all be connected.
I could write pages about all the benefits I’ve gained from the NAET treatments but the reality is that NAET is the reason I feel so much better emotionally and physically. I never thought it was possible to feel this good but I now know it is possible and I can’t thank Debra enough.
Throughout the first four decades of my life I was blessed with a very healthy existence. I suffered from no allergies, serious illness or injury. I was active and ate a varied and healthy diet – spending much time outdoors and, mercifully, was never subjected to unhealthy indoor environments or “sick” buildings. All in all - I was very in tune with my body.
Somewhere around age 43 I noticed gradual changes in my overall energy level and ability to focus. The changes were so subtle that at first I put it down to “aging” – and maybe I needed to eat better – or get more exercise. I sought the advice of my GP at my annual check-up and I was annoyed beyond belief when her response was “there is nothing physically wrong with you – so I recommend counselling”. Basically she thought I was depressed – which I was not. I wasn’t terribly sick or incapacitated – I just knew intuitively that something was wrong.
I was pleased when I discovered the concept of NAET and learned that Debra Lowe was a local practitioner. In the autumn I began seeing Debra for treatments to address a number of allergies including tar, fossil fuels and asphalt, and by the following spring I felt great. My energy levels were back to normal and my mind was clear and focused.
In November of 2009 I decided to get the H1N1 vaccination. I was prepared for the side-effects as reported in the media – sore arm, minor aches within 24 hours of having the shot. What I was NOT prepared for were the side effects that manifested 3 days after the shot – excruciating joint pain, exhaustion, confusion and a deeply disturbing sense of anxiety, fear, upset and tearfulness! I was reacting in such an uncharacteristic manner that it was frightening to both me and my family.
Debra was able to see me quickly. I felt better immediately after the NAET treatment (for the Canadian H1N1 vaccine). By the next day all symptoms were gone and I was back to my usual happy, productive self.
April 2009
In 2001 I saw a NAET practitioner for treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), a swollen ankle, and job-related stress. Prior to the onset of the RA, I had been very athletic, and my diagnosis 9 years earlier at the age of 30 years old had offered only medication to control the pain. I had taken arthritis drugs for several years, but found them not very effective, and I discontinued them out of concern for my long-term health. As a result of the RA and inactivity, I gained alot of weight. I noticed the arthritis was greatly affected by barometric pressure, cold and stress. The RA affected several of my joints - knees, ankles, wrists, hands, shoulders, hips, collar bone - with swelling and pain, but not all at once, moving from joint to joint. My older brother has disabling RA, and I didn’t want to follow his treatment of using only medication. After almost 50 treatments, I was not seeing any improvement in my RA, and I was now showing symptoms of PMS, so I switched to seeing Debra Lowe in March 2004.
At that time I had a swollen ankle, bloating, fatigue, and I was emotionally overwrought and frustrated all the time. After 2 treatments from Debra, my ankle became much less swollen, and I felt relieved and began to sleep better.
Over the next several years Debra did many treatments for things such as food and environmental allergies, PMS, itchy and flaking scalp, constipation, acid reflux, and bloating. The major joint swelling stopped, but the cold of Winter and job stress still provoked disabling joint pain. Plus, I had developed Gout, which also runs in my family, that caused my fingers and toes to swell painfully for weeks on end. Debra then treated many food triggers for the Gout and combinations with Uric Acid, Hormones, and Thyroid that played a role in triggering the Gout. I continued to gradually improve and often enjoyed a longer period of relief from my symptoms.
Then in the Fall of 2008 Debra read a paper by another NAET practitioner, Dr. Sue Anderson, that described a genetic defect that about 30 percent of the population carries that does not allow the body to properly deal with inflammation. Debra did 4 treatments using Dr. Anderson’s protocol for the genetic defect, and within weeks my remaining pain, PMS. Gout, and digestive symptoms disappeared. By that time it was the Holidays (2008) and I ate and drank anything I pleased in whatever quantity I wanted. There was no pain and only a few times did a finger swell up for a day. In the past if something triggered my Gout, the swollen fingers could last a week or even a month. After the Holidays, Debra identified several wheat combinations that had provoked the mild Gout symptoms, and she continued to treat for the genetic defect.
I have now begun to exercise vigorously, and I am quite happy with the prospect of becoming athletic again and living a life free of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Gout, hormonal imbalance, and digestive problems. I have no arthritic pain or swelling and only infrequent Gout symptoms. My constipation has disappeared, and I have good digestion.
I have my mobility back, and I am so grateful to Dr. Nambudripad for inventing this technique and teaching it to Debra. And I am also grateful to Dr. Anderson for sharing her knowledge about the genetic defect. In NAET I found a method to fix me, not just something like a medication to relieve the pain!

I first saw Debra Lowe in January 2008. At that time my health issues were food allergies, including gluten intolerance, environmental and chemical allergies, a poor immune system, hypoglycemia, migraine, insomnia, hypothyroidism, extreme fatigue, and constant joint and muscle pain. My allergies were disabling, and they prevented me from working and leading a normal life. I had also had a number of physical injuries to my neck and back that were contributing to my poor health.
Since January I have been treated for these foods and food-related allergies: Calcium, B Vitamins, Sugar, Iron, Vitamin A, Minerals, Grains, Gluten, Gliaden, Yeast, Vitamin D, Amino Acids, Glutamine, Vegetable Fat, Essential Fatty Acids, Propionic Acid, Beans, Fish, Nightshade Vegetables, Spices, Monosodium Glutamate, Caffeine, Sulfites, Sulfates, Wine, Eugenol, Chloragenic Acid, Tyramine, and Menadione, and Sugar Mix plus Cheese Mix.
These environmental and chemical allergies were treated: Radiation, Mold, Newspaper, Newspaper Ink, Pesticides, Cleaning Chemicals, Ozone, Perfume, Hard Plastics, Latex Paint, Smog, Carbon Monoxide, Nitric Oxide, Fossils Fuels, Car Exhaust, Road Tar, Heat, Humidity, Barometric Pressure and Epsom Salt.
These miscellaneous allergies were also treated: Stomach Acid, Digestive Enzymes, Hormones, Neurotransmitters, Hippocampus, Brain Stem, Limbic Tissue, Sulfa Drugs and various allergy and pain medications, Organs, Pituitary, Thyroid, Adrenal, Lymph Glands, Parasites, Helicobacter Pylori, and Acidophilus-Bifidus.
I was also treated for a number of emotions, an allergy to a member of my family, and for emotional trauma that happened during a difficult time in my life.
As a result of these allergy treatments, my energy level is consistently good, and I rarely experience hypoglycemia. I have few food or environmental allergy reactions now, but I will continue to monitor myself for the next year and seek NAET treatment, if needed. I rarely have headaches or migraines any longer. My joint and muscle pain is considerably less and is diminishing with time.
On Debra’s advice, towards the end of my NAET treatments, I saw Donna Anderson, Osteopath. One treatment from her for the C-4 neck injury that happened when I was a teenager produced a wonderful result the next day. For the first time in years my bowels were normal, and they continue to be so.
Thank you, Dr. Nambudripad, for having created NAET which helped to return me to a more normal life!

I recently holidayed in Florida. Prior to departure I asked Debra if she could treat my anxiety about confined spaces such as an aircraft. She did give me a treatment and I experienced no problems on the flight to and from Florida.
Debra has treated me over 5 months for a number of allergies. I felt better after every treatment and have noticed a big improvement in my outlook on life.

In the first part of my pregnancy I felt nauseous quite often and had a lot of generally ill days. Debra gave me a treatment for an allergy to my baby in my 8th week and I haven't had a nauseous day since. I am now in my 13th week and hopefully home-free.

"Dès ma tendre enfance les odeurs de parfum, savon, détergent cigarettes, et produits chimiques déclenchaient chez moi des migraines accompagnées de nausées, vomissements et de saignements de nez. Mes souvenirs d'enfance de la Messe de Minuit et des fêtes de Noël résument à "Maman, maman j'ai mal au cœur".
Au fil des ans s'est ajouté à mes "faux-amis" la moisissure, la colle, la poussière, l'encre, le papier journal, et j'en passe! Avant ma première visite chez Debra, je pouvais rester alitée de longues heures affaiblie physiquement et psychologiquement. Mes allergies affectaient tellement mon rendement au travail et ma vie sociale que je voulais tout abandonner - travail, amis, voyages, et surtout mon passe-temps favori le jardinage.
Debra découvrit que j'étais allergique à plus d'une soixantaine de substances! Lors de mon premier traitement mon métabolisme a réagit si fortement que je suis restée alitée deux jours! Cette expérience loin de me décourager m'a poussé à continuer. Debra a réajusté les traitements et au fil de nos séances nous avons apprivoisé mon corps. Graduellement je me suis sentie mieux et j'ai recommencé à consommer des aliments qui m'étaient interdits dans le passé et mon niveau d'énergie est revenu. Au cours des traitements nous avons souvent des hauts et des bas mais je vous assure que cela vaut la peine de persévérer.
Deux ans plus tard, je peux vivre une vie normale. Certaines odeurs parfumées m'agacent toujours mais je ne suis plus aussi malade. Je ne suis pas encore retournée à la messe de minuit et au " party de Noël "mais j'ai redécouvert les joies du jardinage - sans éternuements, larmoiements et irritations cutanées.
Encore milles fois merci Debra. Je garderais un beau souvenir notre belle complicité et surtout de nos fous de rire. Je voudrais aussi exprimé ma gratitude à mon conjoint Sabin et mon fils Maxime. Votre bonne humeur, votre patience et votre compréhension m'ont beaucoup aidé au cours de mes traitements. Merci pour cette belle preuve d'amour!"

"Since my loving childhood, the smells of perfume, soap detergent, cigarettes, and chemicals triggered splitting headaches accompanied by nausea, vomiting and nose bleeds. My childhood memories of Christmas Midnight Mass and Christmas parties was, to sum up, "Mum, mum, I feel like I'm going to throw up".
Over the years added to my "not-friends" list was mildew, glue, dust, ink, and newsprint, just to name a few! Before my first visit to Debra's, I had to stay in bed for many hours, weakened both physically and psychologically. My allergies interfered so much with my job performance and my social life that I wanted to leave everything - job, friends, travel, and especially my favourite pastime, gardening.
Debra discovered that I was allergic to more than sixty substances! After my first treatment, my body reacted so much that I remained in bed for two days! This experience, far from discouraging me, encouraged me to go on. Debra retested after every treatment, and in the course of our sessions, we tamed my body. Gradually, I felt better, and I began again using foods that were forbidden to me in the past, and my level of energy returned. In the course of treatment we often had ups and downs, but I assure you that it's worth it to persist (with NAET).
Two years later, I can live a normal life. Certain sweet-scented smells still irritate me, but I am no longer sick from it. I have not gone back yet to Christmas Midnight Mass, or a Christmas party, but I have rediscovered the joy of gardening - without sneezing, watering eyes, and skin rashes.
A thousand times, thank you, Debra. I will keep a nice memory of our meetings and especially of our crazy laughter. I would also like to express Thanks from my husband Sabin and my son Maxime. Your good mood, your patience, and your understanding helped me alot in the course of my treatments. Thank you for your compassion!"

"When I first came to Debra Lowe for NAET treatments, I was on a strict Specific Carbohydrate Diet and was unable to eat many kinds of foods without pain and diarrhea. I also had been suffering from hormonal imbalances for 10 years. She checked what I was reacting to, treated me, and now I can eat all foods. I also feel happier and stronger and no longer need to take progesterone cream for my hormonal problems. It's great to be active again!"

My Experience with a Nasty Parasite
"In the early stages of having a parasite I felt my energy was lower than normal as the parasite was robbing me of my nutrients. Over time the effects worsened as the parasite grew and I, the host became more malnourished. I was of course unaware of its existence and thought I just had to start eating a more healthy diet. As I compensated with nutritional supplements I became greatly confused, I would feel better from time to time but then worse again; this, I am guessing is due to the parasite lifecycle.
I have read that in cases of some of the more vicious parasites, with long term exposure the host can develop allergies which is exactly what happened to me. I began reacting to Vitamin B, Vitamin F, Iron, and even my own digestive enzymes. It makes sense to me now why this would happen. Eating nutrient rich foods provides the parasite an environment to thrive in and the more it consumes the more it defecates toxins into your body. As your body begins to associate the nutrients with the resultant toxins created by the parasite your immune system becomes programmed to attack nutrients.
By this point your own body is working against you, it's time to seek medical attention. So I went to my local clinic and complained of abdominal pain and indigestion. I was sent for blood tests, stool tests and an ultrasound of my intestines which all found nothing.
Since I was still reacting to many foods and my visit to the clinic seemed to have ruled out the possibility of having a parasite I was concerned that perhaps I had developed Crohn's or Celiac disease. By this point in time I had become so malnourished that my entire body was aching, I was very tired and I was beginning to have vision problems; reduced peripheral vision and numerous floaters. Luckily while searching Google for local celiac specialists I came across Debra's website. I was intrigued and arranged an appointment."
My Experience with Debra and NAET
"By the end of my first visit with Debra, she had narrowed down the cause of my illness which was in fact a parasite not Crohn's or Celiac and she had also treated me for the problem. Parasites only survive via stealth, pretending to be a harmonious part of your body. Using NAET to alert the immune system of its invader allows you to use your body's own best defense against the parasite.
After ridding myself of the parasite I had, I almost felt alive again. Further treatments were required to correct the confusion towards nutrients incurred to my immune system. Each treatment thereafter brought me closer to a clear bill of health.
Overall, it is my opinion that NAET is a miraculous tool since it is completely noninvasive. When doing the allergy testing I was reminded of plugging a high performance vehicle into a computer and running a diagnostic. It is that easy; and why wouldn't advanced life forms such as ourselves have a diagnostic function? With our very own built in repairman, NAET simply gives him a coffee and tells him what the problem is."

"I came to Debra, after having had NAET treatments in Australia for over a year. I was still experiencing skin problems, and the practitioner in Australia had run out of ideas. Debra reviewed my treatments, and found which ones needed to be boosted, and then she found many other items I needed to be desensitized to.
I seemed to need treatment for several items in combination with my skin, and finally, I had many items in combination with damp heat to clear.
Slowly my skin conditions disappeared, and I felt like a normal human. Before seeing Debra, my problems seemed to be getting worse, and the only option the medical doctors had given me was the use of a cortisone cream. Welts, hives, eczema appeared all over my body and
hands. In desperation, I used it when my symptoms made my life
unbearable, but it also thinned the skin, and I was left with red patches of fragile skin. Now my skin is a normal colour, with no flare ups recently.
I thank Debra for bringing me back to health, and for having patients that were going through the same problems I was, only with more obvious symptoms. Often she would test me for items that other patients brought in from their environment, and I would test sensitive to them also. Many times Debra would make an intuitive leap in thought, after talking to me about what I was doing when new symptoms would appear, to test something, and often it would need treatment.
I am once again eating a normal healthy diet, with no restrictions which is marvelous since I love to travel, and it became very complicated when on a restricted diet. My lung problems have gone away, and I am no longer on asthma medication.
I am so grateful that I moved to the same town as Debra, and that she had the advanced training needed to work out all the factors affecting my health. A thousand thank-you's, Debra."
