NAET is not accupunture. Below is a brief description. I recomend an internet search, there is a lot of info available.
NAET incorporates muscle testing, Chinese medicine, and chiropractic theory in order to determine the what a person is allergic to. When one encounters an allergen, the body automatically moves to protect itself by withdrawing the vital energy (also known as qi) into the body in order to protect the vital organs. As a result, the limbs lose strength, resulting in even a very strong man being unable to stop his arm from dipping when an NAET practitioner presses on it. After determining the allergen, the patient is then treated by tapping or pressing down the spinal cord. This technique communicates new information to the brain, training it to recognize the allergen as something neutral and not dangerous. Most allergies can be treated within 25 minutes, but for longstanding allergies and serious conditions, it may take repeat treatments in order to enjoy optimum health.
Because NAET is painless and noninvasive, it is particularly effective for small children. Allergies are frequently tested via scratch test, which involves scraping the patient’s arm and setting a bit of the allergen in the wound. If there is a reaction, there is an allergy. This diagnostic test takes several weeks and is uncomfortable for not only children, but everyone. NAET is both a diagnostic and a treatment, so rather than waiting several weeks for relief, a patient can begin to eliminate his or her allergies right away.
