Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi, I am new to the board. I joined to be better connected to other members of the profession. I am considering becoming certified in NAET, but am uncomfortable with the paucity of research to support it. Please share your clinical experiences with NAET and your overall opinion of it. Is it for real? Or is it a waste of time and money? How has it affected your practice? I have heard great things and read some bad things, so I am uncertain about what I should do. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I am a licensed acupuncturist in CA, and I did an internship with a practitioner who used NAET protocol. I was very skeptical at first, especially after watching how it was done... it just seemed too far fetched for me... to much like voodoo science... until I had it done. I was having low abdominal pains at the time, and so she did some muscle testing on me. There was no rational explanation as to why my muscle resistance decreased when in contact with the allergen. She treated me sucessfully for several substances with acupuncture and diet, and I got better almost immediately! I would say, go for it. It was also somewhat of a niche for her, since not too many people know how to do it. marie seoich LAc Chinese Medicine , " dbjoneslac " <dbjoneslac wrote: > > Hi, I am new to the board.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 A rational explanation is that, as western science would agree, all matter has a vibration, and as complex organisms, we have many different vibrations happening at the same time, and these vibrations, to use a metaphor from music, make a chord. If the peaks and valleys of the waves created by these vibrations match, we have harmony, if they don't, discord. When we place an object in our hands, the vibration can either resonate with our own " chords " and create further " harmony " , or, if they are out of 'tune', cacophony, resulting in stronger or weaker muscle strength, respectively.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi DB Jones, When I was a student, I had NAET acupuncture treatments regularly with one of my teachers. I had great results for cat and dog allergies, but the results did not last. I had treatments for 1 year, with a few short breaks here and there - the benefits I received did not last more than a month without treatment. I have heard this " short-term benefit " story also from many patients since my own experience. On the other hand, I also know several acupuncturists who swear by it. dbjoneslac <dbjoneslac wrote: Hi, I am new to the board. I joined to be better connected to other members of the profession.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 The bottom line is that NAET is not from a Chinese medical source. It is a modern technique based largely on muscle testing, and therefore, in my opinion, should be classified as an experimental technique. It is another symptom of the fact that we are still poorly informed in the West about the depth of possibilities in Chinese medicine, so we grasp at technique and point prescriptions to fill the gaps. An excellent new book is coming out next month through Eastland Press that should help remedy the situation, called " Applied Channel Theory in " , by Wang Juyi and Jason Robertson. It clearly describes the channels and their connections to the internal viscera, and their connection with palpation and pulse diagnosis. Having read the manuscript, I consider the information within to be essential, and amazingly not taught in English sources anywhere else. It is based clearly on the Ling Shu and Nan Jing.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I second the motion in recommending Dr. Wang's work. He has taught a few times in our DAOM program and is always very informative. Regarding NAET, I had two treatments from two different practitioners. Neither had any effect at all on my pollen allergies. Chinese herbs work much better. A friend also got a treatment from the same practitioner as me. In her case, her allergies went away for a month and then came back again. - Bill Schoenbart Chinese Medicine , <zrosenbe wrote: > > The bottom line is that NAET is not from a Chinese medical source. > It is a modern technique based largely on muscle testing, and > therefore, in my opinion, should be classified as an experimental > technique.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yep. NAET is interesting stuff. EFT may prove more effective because, primarily, the patient learns to do the technique themselves. I used EFT for my asthma and got no results until I learned how to apply the technique. In other words, the " I totally love myself " mantra is nice, but often more sophisticated approaches to the pattern are necessary. , y.c. ______________________________\ ____ Never miss a thing.

Secondly, NAET balances body energies to the allergen(s). In one month's time could it be that the allergen vectors had changed? Of course. Finally, the body must be trained. Hyper-reactivity is a message that is stored in body/cell memory. It seems highly unlikely that body can get the message in one or two tx.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 The post asked us to share our experience with NAET. That was my experience, so there was no overstatement. It wasn't meant to be a detailed analysis of NAET; just my personal experience. NAET had absolutely no effect on my allergies. Chinese herbs always work on them. It's as simple as that. I do believe that NAET had an effect on my friend, albeit temporary. Whether repeated treatments would have had a more lasting effect on her, I can't say. - Bill Schoenbart Chinese Medicine , Yangchu Higgins <ycmgh wrote: > > " Neither had any effect at all on my pollen allergies. > Chinese herbs work much better.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 This response is specific to the statement " Chinese herbs are better. " Certainly the sum of the " holistic " approach is greater than any one modality. I had a Chinese doc from Guang-zhou when I grew-up in Fairfield, IA. I was treated for asthma in China at the Sino-Japanese Hospital for about two months. I've done herbs and been needled and have found some very handy techniques and formulas for asthma. It doesn't compare to the efficiency and effectiveness of EFT, though bleeding cupping for severe wheezing... yowzaa. I know, I know, mind over matter blah, blah, blah.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 In my experience, different modalities work best for different individuals at different times. In other words, what works for one person might not work for same person next time around, nor for the next person... or it might! Because of this, I don't believe there is only " one right way " or " one universal right modality " . Aside from our basic similarities, we are always unique and always changing. Whatever it is, that we each think is best, there's no need to be dogmatic or defensive about it. What is best, seems to be highly individual and changeable. This has continued to be my experience, both personal and with patients, over the last 20 years. Yangchu Higgins <ycmgh wrote: This response is specific to the statement " Chinese herbs are better.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Dear Clarissa, I would tend to generally agree, and have been very impressed with results using EFT. Years ago I was introduced to NAET, and consistantly found that the results lasted until the first mini-trauma or crisis that the patient was confronted and at longest, a month. I, too, learned Bioset, and felt that Cutler's pushing enzymatic therapy as a complement to her desensitization was just a bandaid. But I found that when I experimented and needled the points instead of just massaging them, that the results dramatically changed for the better, and seemed to be sustained. Then I added one other element: Using AK I test the patient to determine if the desensitization will hold, and find that by only desensitizing those foods and substances that test positively, my success rate has been nearly 100%. Furthermore, as I have mentioned in previous posts, I strongly feel that our medicines and therapies can actually change DNA. I have found that as patients' health improves and they become more balanced, that at a later time, I am able to successfully desensitize them to substances that heretofore would not have been able to be desensitized successfully. BTW, could you tell me more about NeuroModulation Technique? Also, is anyone in the group familiar with TAT, a self-help technique which combines gently holding Yin Tang and GB 20, with some affirmation techniques?

" I think this statement is a little overstated. Lookie, NAET is a form of energy therapy. You've got to be more precise in your thinking about what " works " and doesn't " work. " The case of the individual who had a NAET tx and it " worked " for a month. Does this mean it didn't work. When was the last time someone took one time Cang Er Zi San and got a month's relief? Secondly, NAET balances body energies to the allergen(s). In one month's time could it be that the allergen vectors had changed? Of course. Finally, the body must be trained. Hyper-reactivity is a message that is stored in body/cell memory. It seems highly unlikely that body can get the message in one or two tx. Sounds like the folks who got " acupuncture " and it didn't work. Nothing works if you're lucky. We call it " nocebo " ya? y.c. ________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I didn't say that " Chinese herbs are better " . I said that they always work in my case, while NAET didn't. I was simply sharing my experience, not casting a vote for or against NAET. - Bill Chinese Medicine , Yangchu Higgins <ycmgh wrote: > > This response is specific to the statement " Chinese > herbs are better.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I called a friend who practiced NAET for many years. He said that there were some truly amazing turnarounds, but they were infrequent. Here are his estimates on the efficacy of NAET in his practice: " Maybe 5% clears resulted in what I would call allergy free 10-30% temporary relief 60-65 % questionable " - Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
