Alternative Treatments, A Step In The Right Direction :)

After returning from our trip things were still tough for our little one. His stools were generally bad and very mucousy. He didn’t seem to be tolerating solids well. He was waking up almost nightly and much more fussy in general. I was feeling extremely discouraged and wasn’t sure which way to turn. I heard from a friend about NAET (Nambudiprad’s Allergy Elimination Technique). It was an alternative treatment form that was supposed to be able to detect allergies using muscle response testing (MRT) and treat or clear allergies using an accupressure technique. It was non-invasive and non-drug based. I figured I had nothing to lose and decided to give it a try.

The practitioner we used was a Chinese medical doctor with a degree in Nutrition, a licensed Acupuncturist and trained in NAET. At 9 months old we started NAET treatments. Through MRT she found our youngest son was allergic (sensitive) to eggs, calcium, sugar, corn, chocolate, peanuts, walnuts, shellfish, whey, milk, lactose, cheese, wheat, gluten, tomato, onion, vegetable mix, avocado, melon, citrus, fruit mix, modified starch, dried beans, fluoride, avocado, stomach base, food additives, pollen, fire ants. He received allergy clearing treatments for brain/body function, egg, calcium, sugar, corn, peanuts/walnuts, whey, stomach base, food additives, milk, lactose, cheese, wheat, gluten & fruit mix.

During this time his sleeping habits improved, his mood improved, he started to play some independently (rather than just clinging to me), his stools improved, his teeth started coming in (NAET practitioner said this is common after the calcium treatment). While the NAET treatments were not a cure-all, things definitely improved, and the insight into what specifically he was intolerant of was priceless.

I also started NAET treatments where I learned that I had food allergies (probably where the children got theirs from) which had been contributing to a decade of Fibromyalgia suffering. My middle son also started NAET and was also found to have food allergies, most notable milk, wheat/gluten and food coloring. So here the change began to spread through the family. My middle son at the time was 3 ½ and had severe jekkyl/hyde mood swings and generally had loose stools.
