Imagine witnessing an authentic medical miracle. Well, I did — when I saw an autistic girl become verbally normal after receiving an NAET treatment from my wife, Laurie Teitelbaum, MS, who practices NAET in Kona, Hawaii.

I was shocked. Thinking it must be a fluke, Laurie and I explored further, and found that autistic children recovering with NAET was the rule rather than the exception.

We happily and excitedly decided that our foundation needed to fund a study to explore this!

NAET is short for "Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique." This unique treatment for allergies and sensitivities (to foods, nutrients and other environmental factors) draws from many natural healing modalities, including acupressure, kinesiology, chiropractic and nutrition.

It works by positively reprogramming the person's negative responses to allergens/sensitivities — like hitting a "reset" button — and by balancing energies throughout the body.

NAET was discovered in 1983 by Devi S. Nambudripad, MD, PhD, DC, LAc. (Yes, she's an MD, and a chiropractor, and an acupuncturist, and a PhD). Since then, countless thousands of patients have been helped through NAET. Including me.

I first encountered NAET when my severe hay fever symptoms were eliminated by a 20-minute NAET treatment from Laurie — and they never recurred. I tease that if the holistic medicine I do is 25-50 years ahead of standard medicine, then NAET and what Laurie does is 50 years ahead of me.

But the healing power of NAET isn't limited to curing allergies and sensitivities, because many other conditions are caused or complicated by sensitivities. The list includes (but isn't limited to) CFS, fibromyalgia, backache, migraines, arthritis, asthma, hyperactivity, anxiety, depression, addictions … and autism.
