Trying N.A.E.T. for Shannon
Hey, I’m up for trying new stuff, don’t know about you. My criterion for new treatments of my children is this: can it hurt them? If the answer is no, and the price is right, I’ll consider it. So a friend of mine is a practitioner of N.A.E.T. She says this Chinese medicine theory treatment ( including acupressure) helps people with autism as well as those with a host of other immune-system-related issues, especially allergies. (Did you know that allergies, athsma, and autism are all epidemics right now, and they may be connected?) My friend says people who try N.A.E.T. never get worse. Sometimes they get a lot better, sometimes a little bit. She’s been a practitioner for at least 10 years and has lots of experience. In a previous career she was an RN.
My daughter “Shannon” is game to try it. She’s 21 years old, has Asperger’s, sensory sensitivities, difficulty knowing what someone else is thinking.
Shannon had two sessions so far. Right after the next one, she will have to totally avoid a couple of possible allergens for 25 hours. One of them is feathers, and we have two pet birds, so Shannon will have to avoid the part of the house where the birds are.
We’ll keep you posted.

Have you ever tried N.A.E.T (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques)?

Did you know that allergies and asthma have been around for a long long time, and that their connections or lack thereof are irrelevant?
You're wasting your time and money. There is no hard evidence to suggest that NAET is actually effective.
Here's another article on the matter - food for thought - http://www.chirobase.org/06DD/naet.html
You spoke of your friend referring to people who got better - all that demonstrates is evidence of a correlation; however unless you have hard evidence that shows how NAET actually made those people better, you have little more than desperate hopes, coincidences and hearsay on your side.
It doesn't make sense to me (the treatment), but I like that you first make sure a new treatment won't hurt and asked your daughter's consent.
My main concern with some of the alternative treatments is the potential of inflicting harm or extreme discomfort, especially without consent of the person.
@QuantumStorm@xanga - NAET therapy truly helped my son and daughter. My son has autism and my daughter suffered from depression and add. My son can handle a full day at school now without a problem and has no temper tantrums. He's been doing it for 6 months and we plan on doing it for a full year. My daughter no longer has depression and her grades are up. Neither are on any type of meds now.
@QuantumStorm@xanga - Mate, until you can provide hard evidence as to what actually causes autism, you have no authority to lambast a treatment protocol you simply do not understand.
