FAQ

By medical standards, NAET is quite new and, therefore, like many alternative treatments, not yet well known among traditional doctors. And while more than 14,000 doctors practice NAET world-wide, that is still a relatively small number.
Dr. Anderson is one of only a few doctors in the state of Utah who offer NAET treatments to allergy sufferers

How does it work?

In some ways the body works much like a computer. It is programmed to respond in certain ways. NAET treatments reprogram the nervous system to help the immune system stop attacking food, irritants, chemicals, or anything else a person is allergic to. Once the body accepts reprogramming, it heals itself.

What age can be treated?

NAET is safe and effective for everyone, even infants and the elderly.

How likely is it that allergies are a cause of my health problems?

Immune and allergic diseases like M.S., asthma, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and common hay fever have skyrocketed in recent times, and the number of allergy sufferers today has exploded. Because of deficient soil, processed foods, environmental poisons and toxins, and stress, our immune systems have become vulnerable and over-reactive.
Dr. Devi has found that there are almost no diseases in modern times that aren't caused or worsened by often unknown allergies.

How do you determine the specific substances I am allergic to?

NAET practitioners use Muscle Response Testing -MRT- to gauge the body's reaction to specific substances. It is a painless and inexpensive diagnostic technique.
We can also refer you for an electro-acupuncture diagnostic screening, and blood tests.

If I come in for a specific allergy, how long will it take to eliminate it?

Most patients will find help with an allergy in one visit as long as they do as directed during the first 24 hours after treatment.
Keep in mind that most illnesses result from multiple allergies, and each one must be treated separately before the body can function normally.

What are the basics?

As Dr. Devi worked with many patients over the years, she discovered that treating basic items often brought dramatic improvements in their patients' health.

Those items are:
Eggs, Calcium, Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Sugars, Iron, Vitamin A, Minerals, Salt/Cl, Corn, Grains, Yeast, Acid, Base, Hormones

Why should I consider getting tested for the basics? I've never had a problem eating them, and I don't feel allergic to them?

Dr. Devi realized that chronic illness often results from undiagnosed food and chemical sensitivities, including intolerance to vitamins and minerals. If you are having health problems, or don't feel well, or have been to doctors who can't tell you why you don't feel well, then it's likely you have intolerance to foods and don't know it.
Treating the basics allows the body to begin to heal and rebuild itself.

What do you do during a treatment? Will it hurt?

Based on principles of acupuncture and chiropractic, the treatments use gentle acupressure on the back to open the acupuncture meridians and stimulate the spinal nerves.
It is safe and painless, and it can be done on infants, young children, and even ill or very frail patients.

How many treatments will I need?

After your first consultation and exam, the doctor will let you know about how many visits you would benefit from. The severity of your health problems and length of time you've been experiencing them will influence your course of care.

What can I do to help my body clear an allergen?

After a treatment, you will be given detailed instructions. Drink fluids and get plenty of rest. Avoid exposure to the treated allergen by not eating or touching it for a full 25 hours.
Almost everyone that visits our office is successful in clearing their allergies when they follow these instructions.

When will I begin to see results?

Most patients will experience significant improvement after six to eight treatments. A few even notice a change for the better while receiving a treatment or during the 24-hour clearing period.

Why does NAET help so much with illness?

Many sick people have metabolic and biochemical imbalances. When NAET clears allergies to vitamins, minerals, and basic foods, the body can come into balance and healing can take place.

What if I am skeptical, will that affect the results?

No. The reprogramming is involuntary, and any reservations on the part of a patient will not affect the outcome.
Our favorite patients are the skeptics, because once they have been successfully treated, they often become our most enthusiastic boosters.

How does it fit into a larger healthcare program for myself?

You do not have to change or stop medications or medical treatments to receive NAET. As the body begins to heal through NAET, adjustments in care and medications may be indicated. Patients must always work with their medical doctors regarding any change in care.

What can I do to improve or maintain my overall health once my body is using nutrients properly?

Once your NAET treatments have been completed, be sure to eat well and nourish your body to give it the nutrients it has had difficulty processing in the past. The doctor will advise you if you need supplements to more quickly restore your health.
In some cases, lifestyle recommendations may be made. For example, patients have used NAET to help them stop smoking and to lose weight.
