Developer and theory

The NAET method was invented by Devi Nambudripad and is described by its supporters as a union of several treatment techniques from different fields of alternative and traditional medicine, such as allopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic, applied kinesiology and nutrition.

Devi Nambudripad is native to India and settled down in 1976 in California. Due to their own medical history, the nurse began to develop their own approaches to healing allergies. She graduated from training in acupuncture, " oriental medicine", applied kinesiology and chiropractic. She describes himself as a doctor and indicates to have a "Medical Degree" (MD) University of Health Sciences on the Caribbean island of Antigua since 2002. In California they live statements of these Caribbean University are the state but not anerkannt.1983 she developed the method described here.

Nambudripad defined by many terms, so that they have a different meaning than in the natural sciences and medicine as part of the NAET therapy. So is " energy " the speech that do not match any known scientific form of energy. Even the term "allergy" she gestured new, so this is in the context of NEAT concept contrary to medical science: " An allergy is an adverse physical, physiological and / or psychological response of a person to one or more substances, also called allergen. "

Nambudripad does not distinguish between allergies are mediated by IgE responses and so-called intolerance to substances. Proponents of the method claim that the brain as food ingredients or other substances an "enemy state " what needs to be corrected in the computer in terms of a reset. The " electromagnetic energy field " of these substances colliding with the flow of energy in the meridians of the body, leading to a disease-causing " energy storage ".

The immune system is to be sustainably strengthened by stress factors are "deleted". NAET is to be useful for many other ailments like migraine, Crohn's disease, hyperactivity, multiple sclerosis and rheumatism, scientific evidence for this is not available, however. The method has been modified from 1994 with a wide range of indications also applied to domestic animals.

The subsequent treatment then consists of acupuncture, acupressure and dietetics. As test substances, mixtures of different essential, contained in the food substances. But there are also test tube with a specially developed solution as content application, which are claimed to contain the " vibrational pattern " of the original substance and because of their conductivity could transmit the electromagnetic charge of the content.

Dissemination

The author Max Allan Goldberg estimates the number of handlers to about 4500: "Meanwhile announce an increasing number of physicians the merits of NAET and unite it in their practice, and make it so that one of the fastest growing new therapies in the field of alternative medicine. Devi Nambudripad has more than 4,500 physicians in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Israel shall in the use of NAET and provides ongoing monthly seminars in learning their way interested physicians to.

In Germany, new methods of treatment by doctors and health practitioners are not subject to licensing. So also therapies fall after the NAET concept under the general freedom of treatment and may thus be used by doctors and health practitioners. However, this says nothing about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of a method. From the public health insurance, the cost of a NAET treatment usually are not accepted.

Business concept

The abbreviation " NAET " is registered in the European Union since November 1999 as a word mark to the assignee Devi S. Nambudripad. For therapists who want to apply the method, chargeable courses are offered that are structured according to a six-step system and their cost is per level to about 500 euros or in the U.S. at about 400 to 600 dollars and to achieve higher levels also repeated must be.

In magazines for medical consumer advertising for NAET is operated. Since the treatment can extend over longer periods of time and can have significant medical expenses incurred, it may be a longer -term commitment of the patient to the doctor.

In Germany, a development association, the " not as a charity ," but as a base understands himself to spread the concept and asking for donations and voluntary assistance exists.
