NAET is relatively new to the field of alternative/complimentary (functional) medicine, achieving popularity only in the last decade through the incredible efforts of Devi Nambudripad, R. N., L.Ac., D.C., Ph.D., M.D. I decided to become a NAET practitioner because of word of mouth patient stories like the ones you are about to read. The only piece of research I found was in a Townsend Letter for Doctors that published a survey of European patient responses following a NAET treatment protocol. That study showed positive outcomes in between 80 and 85 % of the respondents. Considering the failure rate of most “standard and customary” approaches utilized by our disease care delivery system ( more commonly called health care), I considered a system that could produce positive outcomes 80 to 85% of the time to be outstanding. Nevertheless, the seeker of better health must always keep in mind that they may fall into that negative 20%. For those who are failed by our present medical disease care delivery system, the future is bleak, and often made worse by the frequent permanent side effects of the treatments themselves. The most negative outcome for a failed NAET patient is a loss of time and cost of treatment. It can be said that NAET might not work for everyone, but it certainly won’t leave you worse off because of the side effects of treatment. I suspect that this has contributed to the rapid growth of this emerging new approach to the treatment of allergy/sensitivity. As a newcomer to the scene of functional medicine, the NAET organization has just begun to gather data and strive toward publication of its outcomes. In spite of the lack of supportive data in scientific journals, NAET has experienced remarkable growth wherever it has been taught, with thousands of practitioners in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Even Veterinarians are getting good results with NAET treatments for their animal patients. Obviously, NAET has demonstrated this remarkable growth based on word of mouth alone. If you are a resident of the greater Kansas City area, and struggling with making a choice about NAET, I invite you to come and sit in our reception room and interview our patients. They have no vested interest in convincing you to become a NAET patient, and the stories they share will be genuine. Good luck in your search for better health, J. David Beaulieu, M. S., D.C. (Dr.
David) |

One of my house sitting clients told me about Dr. David many years ago. I called into his talk show several times and got started on Iflora. I didn’t take it consistently back then and of course wondered why the product wasn’t working! It wasn’t until five years later that I actually took my symptoms seriously. That was August of 2006. My health was in such dire straits by then that I simply called his office and made an appointment. I never researched NAET or Dr. David’s credentials. Something inside of me just knew that the services Dr. David renders were the answer to my lifelong search for my health. Understand, I had exhausted EVERY other avenue prior to my visit to Dr. David.: general practitioners, vein specialists, MRI doctors, endocrinologists, sports doctors, acupuncturists, herbalists and vitamin therapy. I would only have temporary relief from my symptoms before they’d come flaring back. My feet have been swollen since childhood. Once I hit my sophomore year in college the swelling extended up into my left ankle and calf. The swelling was so bad I could just barely get my pants off at night; and my mom could see the swelling through my pant leg. I had what is commonly known as pitting edema. Over the years, a heaviness I can only compare to the weight of a sandbag, accompanied the swelling. In 2003 I had blood drawn to be tested for food allergies. Oh I definitely had a few of those. I was tested for 73 different food sensitivities and was allergic to over 40. The rotational diet was the supposed cure. It wasn’t. In August of 2006 when I first met Dr. David face to face in his office I not only had food allergies, and edema but I also had adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism. If I had been a junk food eater with a sedentary lifestyle I probably would have understood my poor state of health better. However, this was not the case. I had lived in the gym for the past twelve years as a drug-free competitive body builder eating a very clean diet. As Dr. David put it to me one day, “You are a living example of the damage we have done to our environment. You eat well, you work out and you take vitamins. No one would ever know, just by looking at you, how sick you really are. When I think of how to describe NAET, three words come to mind: process of elimination. That’s what this has been for me. We had to clear out all of the allergies to see what the underlying problems were. One of our biggest discoveries was that my stomach wasn’t producing enough digestive juices to break down my food. The result for me was extreme lethargy almost immediately following any meal. My belly would get bloated following the lethargy; and then my whole body would swell up because my stomach couldn’t digest the food. If your stomach cannot break down the food you are putting into it, you have serious problems. Needless to say, eating wasn’t very much fun anymore. Another discovery was my allergy to the purified water I was drinking from a filter at my house. Once I finished The Basics for NAET, we started on the kits. We were now able to test numerous items during an office visit as opposed to just one. Here’s what I would tell anyone: make your
health your priority in the least invasive way possible. I tell
my clients all the time: You only get one body. Make the most of
what you have been given and be nice to it! Where NAET is concerned,
make the commitment to it and make it a priority in your life. There
is no guarantee of a tomorrow. I started NAET on August 22, 2006.
The most visits I was allowed each week during The Basics was two.
When we started on the kits I was allowed three visits each week.
By December 21, 2006 we had completed all of the testing in the
office. My edema was down by ½ to ¾, I had enough
energy to exercise AND go to work all in the same day, my clothes
were fitting again; and I could eat food without swelling up. I
wish everyone would make such a commitment as this to getting their
health back. I have continued to make little discoveries of my own
since December which have only improved my health that much more.
I believe Dr. David has enjoyed my discoveries about as much as
I have. His open-mindedness has allowed this to happen and made
it very easy for me to refer people to him. In a FREE telephone
call you can ask Dr. David any question. You have nothing to lose
and everything to gain. I’m more than happy to answer any
questions from a skeptical reader and share my victory! I was brought
through this in order to help others….not just to keep it
to myself. |

Carlin |
||
| To Whom It May Concern; Then after her first birthday we added dairy to her diet and she got markedly worse with mucousy stools and then even vomiting. I questioned her pediatrician about milk allergies and he said it was possible especially considering her history of ear infections! She finally improved on a strict elimination diet excluding all forms of dairy, soy and peanuts. After a year of near normalcy her GL problems recurred and now she had eczema. We took her to an allergist who performed a skin-prick food allergy test with only a positive result for peanut. He then admonished us to allow Carlin to have dairy so as not to deprive her, of calcium. However, by now Carlin’s health had deteriorated to the point of waking in the night crying from gas pains and belching sulfur- smelling flames. She was so uncomfortable she could not fall asleep unless she was upright, so we took turns sleeping in the recliner with her. We were desperate, then I saw Dr. Beaulieu’s ad for NAET and elimination of childhood allergies permanently. Muscle testing and acupressure to resolve her misery seemed to good to be true but I knew there could be no placebo effect in a toddler so we pursued treatment. The testing confirmed some things I suspected like eggs that conventional testing did not identify. The positive result for calcium made sense given that even her rice milk was calcium fortified. She was first treated for egg mix and in 24 hours she had a completely normal BM for the first time in her life, and she slept well without any gas or pain. The next week she was treated for calcium mix and her eczema resolved! She did have a crying jag for a couple of hours after the B-vitamin treatment and a head-to-toe rash the day after the vitamin C treatment- further evidence it seemed that the treatments were working. Two months after starting NAET Carlin was thrilled to be able to eat cheese and ice cream, literally jumping up and down in the kitchen saying “I can have dairy!”. Perhaps must amazing was her check up that summer. Two months after starting NAET her height was in the 75”’ percentile and her weight was 50”'. It was obvious that her little body was finally able to utilize the nutrients from her food. We are very grateful to to Dr. David, Sandy and the whole staff for their part in returning Carlin to good health, and to Dr. Devi Nambrudipad for developing NAET We don’t like to imagine what Carlin’s life would be like without it! Sincerely, |

Ethan

Allergies affect many people’s (especially children’s) quality of life. For the first two years of my son Ethan’s life, I prayed that the allergy medicines, lotions, steroid creams, etc. would relieve the itching and discomfort his eczema caused him. His poor skin itched so badly from his allergies that he would quietly sneak away to the corner of the room to scratch it as hard as he could. We would have to cut his fingernails every other day to keep him from hurting himself. Sometimes, even without scratching, his skin would just break open and bleed. I was excited when we were able to do an allergy blood test. I was hoping to learn what the 1-2 key allergies were that were causing him so much pain and irritation. Instead, I was presented with a very long list of allergies and told that the test did not cover everything. It was impossible to keep Ethan away from everything on that list! How could we relieve his itching and help his skin and yet enable him to live a full, rich life? My husband, Gus, met a lady at Manna Nutrition who’s granddaughter had had severe eczema until she went through a series of treatments called NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique). The woman explained that the treatment involved re-aligning her granddaughter’s energy fields using acupressure to eliminate (not relieve, eliminate) her allergies. Knowing this sounded too good to be true, she gave my husband Dr. David Beaulieu’s,phone number (1-800-888-4866 or 816-753-4866) and told him that Dr. David answered questions and educated people for free on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from lOam to 1pm CST. After researching NAET through the resources listed below, Gus and I decided all we had to lose was $. Ethan’s eczema was continually getting worse and as he grew older, he became conscious of what it was. He began to know his skin looked different than other children. He also began to hate the creams as they “make Ethan dirty”. He thought they made him dirty because they were greasy to touch. He did not want to be “dirty” and would cry every time we put the cream on his skin. The improvement through NAET was gradual at first. We noticed that Ethan did not sneak off into corners anymore. Then he stopped rolling up his sleeves and pants to itch. Next, he was willing to wear shorts and T-shirts and didn’t itch. Gus and I realized we had gone a month without buying Aquaphor and were only applying cream once a day (we used to use 1.5 jars of Aquaphor a week and a tube of steroid cream). After treating Ethan for the basics, we had him tested and treated for substances that Dr. Nambudripad has historically found to contribute to eczema. After treating for magnesium and benzoates, Ethan’s eczema disappeared from his waist up. The eczema on his legs lightened in color and the skin became somewhat softer. After treating for food coloring, gelatin, and vegetable fat, Ethan needs cream about once a week unless he has a reaction to another substance. Ethan continues to take Singular, Zyrtec and Atarax. Until we are able to treat Ethan for mold, pollen, and peanuts, we will continue to give these to him daily. If you or a child you know suffers from allergies, please investigate this treatment to learn if it can provide you and yours relief. We can’t thank our nurse, Megan Brownlee, and Dr. Nambudripad enough for the healing NAET has given Ethan. The references we used to research NAET are: www.naet.com
- this is Dr. Nambudripad’ official website. Dr. Nambudripad has also written “Say Good-bye
to Allergy-related Autism”, “Say Good-bye to ADD and
ADHD”, “The NAET Guidebook”, and “Living
Pain Free”. |

| I have had a history of asthma since I was 1 ½ years old. My mom and I spent many nights in the hospital as a baby due to lack of treatments at the time. As I grew older, I began taking allergy shots as an 8-12 year old. I didn’t really see any improvements from them. I continued to have severe allergic reactions to things and suffer from asthma especially at night and during pollen and ragweed season. As an adult, I learned to control my reactions by limiting my intake of certain foods and staying inside during the peak seasons. I still had many sinus infections that lasted weeks at a time and caused me to miss work. As of last September when I was suffering horribly with a sinus infection, I decided to try Dr. David after hearing the success story of a co-worker. I began treatment and didn’t really notice any difference immediately. After about 4-5 treatments, I noticed my breathing was much easier. My husband commented on how much quieter I was at night. After a year of treatment I was able to open the windows without wheezing uncontrollably. I was eating things without breaking out from them. I was feeling much healthier overall. I had more energy. When I finished my treatments in the spring, I was hardly using my inhaler and rarely taking my medication for wheezing. After completion of the treatments, I had one reaction that brought me back for a treatment. I know there will be others, but I am a believer in N.A.E.T., Dr. David, and the ladies that work in the office. My only regret is that I didn’t know about the treatment 45 years ago. Thanks for giving me my life back. In 50 years I've never felt healthier. This N.A.E.T. is quite a program. I would never believed it if I hadn't seen it work first hand. I appreciate you dedication and belief in the alternative. It takes courage. Sherri Arnhold |

| Dr. David, My friend Karen told me about Dr. David and I made an appointment the next week. The treatments seemed so easy (slight pressure down the spine three times) I didn't think it could possibly work...but it did! I knew going in that I would need a number of treatments and that the more items I cleared the more sensitive I would become to the remaining allergens...especially my cat! I was much better after the basics and started reducing my medication immediately. I was very tired after the first treatments so I only scheduled appointments when I could go home and take a nap. That was my only side effect and it didn't happen every time. Today I am allergy free. I have discontinued my prescriptions but I still go to the pulmonologist for my annual checkups. He tells me to keep up the good work -- but he doesn't know that I have not taken any of my medication for 9 months nor have I used my inhaler in over a year! I have saved at least $80.00 per month on those prescriptions and am not on a downward health spiral. If you have questions about what I experienced feel free to contact me at (913) 381-3147 I love to talk about myself. Gloria Klug |

| My health problems started at
an early age and progressively got worse and worse. As a child I
was the victim of countless ear infections, colds, viruses—basically,
if someone around me was sick, it was a guarantee that I’d
be sick too. This continued all the way through my teens and early
20’s. Unfortunately, a fast-paced lifestyle of partying mixed
with a part-time job and full-time college led to a full collapse
in the winter of 2000. The collapse was gradual—I felt it
coming on, but I told myself that I was simply tired or under the
weather. I went to doctors complaining about the symptoms I experienced,
but they offered me no recourse of action to take. |

In January of this year (2004), I was off work again for being sick. This was the second time in 2 months. My symptoms were that I had a stuffy head and felt lethargic. I was off work for 3 or 4 days. I had not been off work for sickness for several years. Being a professional in a corporation, meant that I was not given much time to get better. My Doctor gave me antibiotics. I would fell good while I was on the medication and 2 or 3 days after I quit taking the medication I felt bad again and was off work again. This cycle happened again. I knew I had to stop the cycle. I heard about Dr. David from my massage therapist. I talked to my Doctor and she too, had heard about Dr. David. I got right in to see Dr. David when I called for an appointment. His method of treatment was one I had never been exposed to. I gave myself the 16 week's of basis treatment to try this unusual treatment and then I was out of there. I was not willing to give any more time than the 16 week's. I felt a little better after the first month. Each month I felt better. At the end of the 16 wk basic treatment, I felt Great! I now recommend Dr. David to as many people as I can. Sharon Rodriguez |

| I was 1st diagnosed with asthma & allergies when I was 9 years old. I started on the regular medicines like Theophlin , Alupant , inhalers, antibiotics & getting allergy shots. I remember missing weeks at a time from school & not being able to go outside during recesses. I did do a little improving during my adolescent years, but I think that was because my body was adjusting & still growing. I started high school & things took a turn for the worse. I developed pneumonia twice & kept getting sinus infections, thus leading to going to the doctor & getting more antibiotics. Little did I know what damage these were doing to my digestive tract. Growing older I would still constantly get sinus infections & start to feel bad after I had eaten. The past 3 years I was constantly getting worse. I was feeling tired at work & not sleeping well at night. Finally I got sick & tired of feeling sick & tired. I decided then & there I was going to find an alternative treatment. I was watching the news one day & I saw a story about NAET. I did some researching & found a practioner in the Kansas City area. Thank God for Dr. David, Megan, Sandy & Barb! I started the NAET treatments a little over a year ago & man what a turn my health took! I found out about what antibiotics did to me & as well as what probiotics could do for me. I found out that most of my allergies were food related & a little of the environmental factors. I started feeling the effects after my 1st treatment. I wasn’t sure of what exactly was going on in my body but I knew something was happening. I completed my treatments after about a year; I still go back to get checked up & to take care of some things that might pop up. I can’t begin to describe how much better I feel. I have so much more energy & really focused. I sleep a lot better; I have not had anymore sinus infections & hardly get sick anymore. I know that I’m really intoned with my body & really trust my instincts now without question. Thank you so much for your dedication to this practice. And thanks for thinking & acting outside the box!

| It is probably fair to say we were desperate parents by the time we reached Dr. David. Our son, Luke, was put on the adult drug, Zantac, at two months old. Luke has found sleeping difficult his entire short life. The medical doctors said he suffered from acid reflux but that he would probably grow out of it. For his first 8 months, Luke basically never slept lying flat. When he did, he would wake sometimes as often as every 45 minutes, crying in pain. The medical doctors tried several different adult stomach drugs but by the end of 7 months, we scheduled a GI scope at Children's Mercy Hospital because we had seen no relief. This scope found that we had not been exaggerating Luke's symptoms (as many other parents and family members tried to tell us). Luke was suffering from erosions in his lower stomach and upper intestine. His stomach acids had literally burned holes through the lining. Every time he ate it must have burned terribly, which explained the frequent waking. What the pediatric GI specialist couldn't tell us, however, was how to heal him and stop it from reoccurring. At the height of our frustration, Luke was on
five different drugs per day and the specialists were telling us
there was no way to tell what he was allergic to at his young age.
According to them, the best course was to try to make him as comfortable
as possible and hope that he grew out of it. It was at this point
that a friend told us about NAET and Dr. David. Luke had so many sensitivities, but we did the work with Sandy at the office and we're pro und to say that at two years old, Luke loves food and he is in the 100th percentile on the growth charts. He was born a big boy, that was his destiny. Without Dr. David, his staff and the NAET treatments, we cannot imagine where we would have ended up. They were truly a blessing! |

| When I started getting NAET treatments in Dr. Beaulieu's office, I was allergic to more things than I care to remember. When I read about NAET, I had been undergoing experimental shot therapy for 4 years that helped my symptoms. But it was a very complicated process and offered little hope of actually curing me. After only 12 weeks of twice-a-week NAET treatments, I was able to eat whole groups of foods - without symptoms - that I hadn't been able to eat for about 7 years. It was hard to believe! I continued to get treatments once a week for about a year-and-a-half and felt better and better all the time. Since the time I started with Dr. Beaulieu, Dr. Nambudripad has added some steps to the treatments, which, I understand, speed up the treatment process, requiring fewer treatments overall. I am still eating all the good foods God made and, as far as I can tell, am having no allergic reactions. But I know that if I do acquire some allergies in the future, help is very simple and affordable with NAET. After my treatments were so successful, I started
taking my 4-year-old son. He had chronic nasal congestion that was
keeping him from sleeping well at night. He responded very well
and very quickly to treatments. He actually enjoyed going to Dr.
David's office for his treatments! |

| I didn’t have teenage acne but as I entered my 20’s I began to experience it more and more. I used benzoyl peroxide at first but that did not prevent the problem. Dermatologist tried oral antibiotics, but nothing worked. I even had some cosmetic surgery to remove some of the facial cystic acne. I finally found benzamyacin which worked for awhile but then began to produce unacceptable side effects. The dermatologists admitted that there was no known cause for my acne, but I was assured that it was not food. Nevertheless, I started paying attention to what I ate when my acne became bad and identified several items. Avoidance improved my acne. Unfortunately the list of acne producing foods began growing. A friend referred me to Dr. David, and after confirming my suspicion that that I was reacting to foods I began weekly treatment. Slowly I was able to add things back into my diet, and soon I was able to stop the antibiotics. Fifteen months later I am a new person. I am no
longer a slave to the topical cream I had planned my life around,
and I can eat nearly anything I choose. If I eat out and get a reaction
I bring in a sample of the food and get treated and that solves
the problem. I spent years researching the internet looking for
a solution to no avail. Thanks to NAET I have control of my life
and my complexion is nearly perfect. | ||
Laboratory assay demonstrates
the immune boosting benefits of a sound vitamin supplement program. | ||
| I don’t have a spectacularly interesting story to tell you. Rather, I think my story is one of prevention. I first heard you on the radio at least twenty years ago, it was when you were first starting Preventics. I had a three year old and a new baby at the time and had taken up running to lose my baby weight. I realized that I was asking a lot of my body and thought your supplement program sounded like a good idea. I started out just taking the GlycoMin, C-1000 and Bone 350 products. I have nothing terribly spectacular to report, except that I was healthy. A few years later, I went through a stage that I quit taking the supplements, who knows what I was thinking, but it didn’t work out well for me at all. I was running a lot of marathons and caught a nasty virus after one marathon. To make a long story short, I ended up in the hospital with bacterial pneumonia and my asthma hopelessly out of control. Needless to say, I started taking the supplements from Preventics again. That was about 15 years ago and I haven’t even had a cold since, much less a serious illness. My asthma is pretty much ok as long as I don’t pet cats or go in moldy basements. From a strict scientific standpoint, it is difficult to prove that my supplementation program is what keeps me healthy. However, I am surrounded by people who are sick on a regular basis and have all sorts of other chronic and acute health issues. I have only my allergies to deal with. Coincidentally, I run a molecular infectious disease laboratory here in Kansas City. One of the tests we perform is an assay called ImmuKnow, that measures the functionality of a person’s cell mediated immunity. The assay accomplishes this by measuring the ability of the patient’s CD4 cells to respond to a stimulant. We run this assay for transplant patients to assist their physician in establishing correct doses of their immunosuppressive drugs that keep them from rejecting their new organ. When a person has too much of these drugs their immune system is over-depressed and they are needlessly susceptible to infections. Each time we run the assay we must have a “normal control” to make sure the assay is functioning properly. All of the employees here take turns donating their blood to be the assay control. Each time I am the control for the assay, my values are off the chart, way higher than anyone else’s. I get teased a lot, but a lot of my co-workers have quietly started asking me what I do to make my immune system be so supercharged. Several have even had me bring in the Preventics catalog and they have started ordering supplements, too. I think the number of sick days in my comp Each one of them has told me that their regular physician tells them that supplementation is not necessary and they can meet all their nutritional needs from their food. I am amazed that people believe that considering how processed and poisoned our food sources are now. Another issue, is trying to get people to understand that all nutritional supplements are not created equal. The products one can purchase at Sam’s Club are simply not worth a penny and folks might as well not bother at all. I am amazed how people will pinch pennies on their health, but spend ridiculous amounts of money on their vehicles and entertainment. Over the years, I have added more products in to round out my supplementation program as I age (I just turned 50) and more becomes known on optimal levels of certain nutrients. A couple of years ago I added CoEnzyme Q10. I have noticed a boost in my energy level from that. A few months ago, I ran out and kept forgetting to order more CoEnzyme Q10. I noticed my energy level go down, and then rebound when I finally remembered to order. I was not aware that was one of the benefits and was not taking it for that reason, but it sure seems to be the case for me. As for my allergies, I am looking forward to starting NAET treatments this spring and saying good-bye to a lifetime of aggravation from allergies. Thanks very much for providing quality products at a fair price. Sharon Arnoldi | ||
Elizabeth Budd: A woman
with colitis, thyroiditis, and endometriosis accompanied by constant
pain after a trip to Mexico. | ||
| Through NAET, Dr. David, and Megan, I have renewed health and great expectation for a pain-free and high energy life. Thank you! Since 1997, I have faced numerous health issues that began after a trip to Mexico. My intuition told me that I had a parasite but no conventional doctors would listen. Treating symptom after symptom without any success, I dealt with colitis, thyroiditis, endometriosis, a hysterectomy, a range of odd and unusual symptoms and constant pain. After years and years of no relief from conventional medicine, I finally opened my mind and began to look at holistic health methods. Dr. Carrie Hoskins, in helping me with my pain through cranio-sacral therapy, referred me to Dr. David (thanks Carrie). Through the MRT, it became evident that I had allergic responses to numerous items and that yes, I had a response to two parasites------ Algeria amoeba, and Amoeba. These parasites were hidden away in my skin, intestines and brain. To have this confirmed by someone other than myself (as my intuition had been telling me for years) was an amazing relief. I felt that finally I would be able to get the help that I had been asking for and finding no assistance with through conventional medical doctors. From the very first appointment, I could feel the energy move in my body and I knew that I was on to something powerful. Week to week my pain lessened and my energy increased. Clearly, the NAET method is unlike conventional medicine and it is important we begin to open our eyes and minds to holistic, alternative, and complementary modalities. Too many people are suffering needlessly from disturbing health problems and resources do exist to provide the much needed help. Dr. David and Megan and the NAET method are a tremendous resource for obtaining optimum health. I encourage anyone struggling with allergies, asthma, or other perplexing health issues to consider the NAET method. It has been life changing for me! My very best regards, | ||
Kaila Miller: An adult
female with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. | ||
About 1 and 1/2 years ago, I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I wasn't able to eat or drink anything without a bathroom close by because my body processed food too fast. Anyway, I had heard about NAET treatments through a family member. I had done some research on my own and then proceeded to call Dr. David's office. I spoke with one of the gals there who had experienced the same health issue. To make a long story short, I had a consultation with Dr. David and began seeing one of his nurses for treatments. I can now eat and drink virtually anything without having to go to the bathroom. My system was so sensitive before the treatments
that I began to hate eating since I knew within a short period of
time the food would leave me via diarrhea. Now I can actually go
out and eat without any worries. I will continue to strongly recommend
Dr. David and NAET treatments to everyone I know. He has an awesome
staff and Dr. David's mannerism reflects the care and knowledge
he gives each of his patients. Thank you for everything! | ||
Rich Schuck: An adult
male with Reactive Airway Disease, Acid Reflux, and Seasonal allergies. | ||
When I first came to Dr. David, I was diagnosed with reactive airwave disease and acid reflux. I was taking bronchodilator tablets, and going through a large bag of cough drops per week. I also had a prescription for Nexium, but was only taking off the shelf antacids. I was coughing so much I had very little voice left. After about a month and a half of NAET treatments, I quit using the tablets, and by the time I had finished clearing the basic food groups, I’d quit the cough drops as well. My breathing is now 100% better. I have yet to fill a Nexium prescription, and my acid reflux is gone. I‘ve had seasonal allergies ever since I can remember. Every year in the spring and fall I would get watery eyes and a runny nose. Once I took a bee pollen tablet, and my throat got tight, I broke out in welts, got stomach cramps, and had trouble breathing. Yes, I knew I was allergic to pollen. I thought it was my only allergy. The last 15 – 20 years I developed another set of symptoms that didn’t seem like allergies. Whenever I would get a chest cold, I would continue wheezing and coughing long after the other cold symptoms disappeared. Doctors would prescribe various inhalers which eventually would diminish the symptoms. Eventually, other things would seem to trigger these same symptoms, like acid reflux and my seasonal pollen allergies. Whenever something irritated my lungs, I just had an awful time getting back to normal. About a dozen doctors later, a pulmonologist ($500 for 15 minutes) told me that I had reactive airwave disease, and the only cure was a steroid inhaler. This would help my breathing after about a month, but my mouth would break out in cold sores, even if I rinsed thoroughly after using it. While this would eliminate the symptoms temporarily, it never eliminated the root problem. I was also told I had esophageal reflux. It took a $1,500 endoscopy to diagnose this. When my insurance company found out I had a prescription for Nexium, my rate went up about $45/month. I had asked previous doctors about whether my digestive system could be related to my wheezing. One doctor told me that the digestive and respiratory systems were not related, and that my digestive system could not possibly cause my breathing problems. I also had begun having the sensation of always feeling “full.” My appetite had greatly diminished, and even when hungry it took very little food to fill me up again. When I mentioned all this to Dr. David, he told me that about 90% of reactive airwave disease is caused by allergies. Suddenly the light came on! I scheduled an appointment. Dr. David intently listened to my story. He said that I had probably wasted my money on the endoscopy (the understatement of the year!), and told me about the possible causes of acid reflux. It could be caused by either too much or too little acid and the symptoms are the same. He also told me I had leaky gut syndrome, and how it can trigger food allergies. I tested positive for seven food group allergies. He put me on acidophilus to straighten out my digestive system, and I started NAET treatments for my food allergies. I still have some work to do on seasonal allergies, but I feel
soooooooo much better! Finally, after all these years, I have
gotten to the root of the problem and quit treating symptoms!
How can pressing on acupressure points on the body while holding
a vial cure allergies? I haven’t a clue. All I know is my
body works better now, and it’s wonderful. If anyone would
like to talk to me about my experience, feel free to give me a
call at (913) 642-6094. | ||

Dr. David, I just have to tell you how much NAET allergy treatment has changes my life! I’m 58 years old and I have been involved in traditional allergy testing (needles and allergens) off and on since I was 12 years old. I’d feel better for a while and then have a set back. Even though I react to a lot of substances during NAET testing, I feel “hopeful” now because I know I can clear on everything I react to eventually. I now can be outdoors, rake leaves, walk, and not sneeze at everything in the air and environment. I can clean my house and not cough and sneeze and best of all I can keep my cat. I’m still “cleansing” on chemical and physical properties, but I only have to “clear” one time now instead of 2 or 3 times. NAET is non invasive and does not externally effect the body like allergy shots. Sometimes when I’m “clearing” and allergen I’ll experience headaches, fatigue, dizziness and brain fog. After a few hours after treatment I can feel my body “lighten” and my energy is better…I feel “alive!” I feel like the professional atmosphere at your office, your knowledge of the physical components of the body, and the vitamins and foods is an added bonus. I also like the fact that you use nurses in the treatment process. They are knowledgeable and sensitive to the patient’s feelings. I have always had a sensitive immune system. I’ve had breast cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and a hysterectomy. NAET has definitely helped my body heal faster from all my physical maladies. Thank you again for your devotion to your patients and your enthusiasm for NAET. Cathy Safford | ||

One of my house sitting clients told me about Dr. David many years ago. I called into his talk show several times and got started on Iflora. I didn’t take it consistently back then and of course wondered why the product wasn’t working! It wasn’t until five years later that I actually took my symptoms seriously. That was August of 2006. My health was in such dire straits by then that I simply called his office and made an appointment. I never researched NAET or Dr. David’s credentials. Something inside of me just knew that the services Dr. David renders were the answer to my lifelong search for my health. Understand, I had exhausted EVERY other avenue prior to my visit to Dr. David.: general practitioners, vein specialists, MRI doctors, endocrinologists, sports doctors, acupuncturists, herbalists and vitamin therapy. I would only have temporary relief from my symptoms before they’d come flaring back. My feet have been swollen since childhood. Once I hit my sophomore year in college the swelling extended up into my left ankle and calf. The swelling was so bad I could just barely get my pants off at night; and my mom could see the swelling through my pant leg. I had what is commonly known as pitting edema. Over the years, a heaviness I can only compare to the weight of a sandbag, accompanied the swelling. In 2003 I had blood drawn to be tested for food allergies. Oh I definitely had a few of those. I was tested for 73 different food sensitivities and was allergic to over 40. The rotational diet was the supposed cure. It wasn’t. In August of 2006 when I first met Dr. David face to face in his office I not only had food allergies, and edema but I also had adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism. If I had been a junk food eater with a sedentary lifestyle I probably would have understood my poor state of health better. However, this was not the case. I had lived in the gym for the past twelve years as a drug-free competitive body builder eating a very clean diet. As Dr. David put it to me one day, “You are a living example of the damage we have done to our environment. You eat well, you work out and you take vitamins. No one would ever know, just by looking at you, how sick you really are. When I think of how to describe NAET, three words come to mind: process of elimination. That’s what this has been for me. We had to clear out all of the allergies to see what the underlying problems were. One of our biggest discoveries was that my stomach wasn’t producing enough digestive juices to break down my food. The result for me was extreme lethargy almost immediately following any meal. My belly would get bloated following the lethargy; and then my whole body would swell up because my stomach couldn’t digest the food. If your stomach cannot break down the food you are putting into it, you have serious problems. Needless to say, eating wasn’t very much fun anymore. Another discovery was my allergy to the purified water I was drinking from a filter at my house. Once I finished The Basics for NAET, we started on the kits. We were now able to test numerous items during an office visit as opposed to just one. Here’s what I would tell anyone: make your
health your priority in the least invasive way possible. I tell
my clients all the time: You only get one body. Make the most of
what you have been given and be nice to it! Where NAET is concerned,
make the commitment to it and make it a priority in your life. There
is no guarantee of a tomorrow. I started NAET on August 22, 2006.
The most visits I was allowed each week during The Basics was two.
When we started on the kits I was allowed three visits each week.
By December 21, 2006 we had completed all of the testing in the
office. My edema was down by ½ to ¾, I had enough
energy to exercise AND go to work all in the same day, my clothes
were fitting again; and I could eat food without swelling up. I
wish everyone would make such a commitment as this to getting their
health back. I have continued to make little discoveries of my own
since December which have only improved my health that much more.
I believe Dr. David has enjoyed my discoveries about as much as
I have. His open-mindedness has allowed this to happen and made
it very easy for me to refer people to him. In a FREE telephone
call you can ask Dr. David any question. You have nothing to lose
and everything to gain. I’m more than happy to answer any
questions from a skeptical reader and share my victory! I was brought
through this in order to help others….not just to keep it
to myself. |

I am a 44-year old woman who had been led to believe all my life that I would never be able to enjoy the companionship of a pet, preferably a dog due to my severe allergies. Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s doctors weren’t curious enough to determine why every time I went to a friend’s house I would get sick. As I got older and wiser it was very apparent to me that any time I was around dogs or cats I would develop several allergy symptoms, rashes, swollen eyes and the worst of all asthma. There were times when the breathing would get so bad I would have to be rushed to the emergency room, but again the diagnosis was always you have asthma, learn to live with it. As an adult I finally had the skin tests to confirm that I was indeed allergic to dogs and cats. Well until I had children the only option I could see was to stay away from animals as much as possible. Anyone with allergies knows that is not always possible and can make visiting friends very difficult. When my children were growing up they continually asked why Mommy couldn’t have a dog. They acted like they understood but you know in their hearts they didn’t. When the boys were about 6 and 1 year old we did get a dog, in fact two dogs, one of which we inherited. They both had to be outside dogs, which was fine to some degree but was not the kind of companionship or relationship I wanted or the boys wanted with these new members of our family. In 2007 when the last of the two dogs passed away of old age my husband and I agreed we would not get any more pets if there was no way we could have the pets with us in the house. A year went by with no pets until just before Christmas 2007 my youngest son, who is 12 now asked for only one thing for Christmas and that was another dog, specifically a puppy he could raise. After much research on allergy treatments it looked like the traditional allergy shot treatments were still the primary way people were dealing with the problem, and many were less effective than what the patient was expecting. During my research I stumbled upon the NAET treatments and Dr. David Beaulieu. Having a medical background I will say my first impressions of the treatments were this is too simple to work and what clinical proof was there that this would actually take care of a problem I have dealt with for my lifetime. My son’s during the treatment would jokingly say “Mom, are you going to the witch doctor today?” because they too couldn’t understand how this could work. After receiving the basic treatments and then treatments specific to our new puppy I am ecstatic to say that each evening I now enjoy the loving companionship of my dog, Kenai (Goldendoodle). I can breathe; my eyes are not swollen and no more rashes when the dog licks my skin. I can honestly say my lifelong prayer to enjoy the companionship of a pet has been answered and I owe thanks to Dr. David providing me with this new found freedom to enjoy life and for making a believer out of me for alternative type treatments such as acupressure and acupuncture. I now fully believe that not everything in the world can be cured by a shot or by taking a pill, sometimes it is just learning how the body and mind works. Thanks, Dr. David. |

| Rachel Francis: A young woman with disabling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Migraines. | ||
| My Journey to Wellness I am 32 years old and was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 18 years ago and Fibromyalgia 10 years ago. I was diagnosed my freshman year in high school after nine months of going from doctor to doctor. Something was wrong with me. I got the flu and it never went away. I was sleeping 22 out of 24 hours a day, tired the 2 hours I was awake and lost 13 pounds in 2 weeks. I was placed on homebound schooling for 10 weeks. The doctor convinced my parents that I just needed rest. My parents didn’t take that for an answer and continued to search. I tried everything my parents or I read about: royal jelly, acupuncture, massage therapy, pain medication, long courses of antibiotics, etc. In 1996 my parents moved to Washington, DC. I found a doctor who kept up to date with the latest research from NIH. He put me on beta blockers, anti-depressants, and other meds. None of them worked. In 1997 I had a sleep study performed that showed a sleep disorder. I was put on different sleep medications. My junior year of college I had a really bad run in which I missed several weeks of class. I was passing out, losing my way on campus and unable to find my way back to my dorm, etc. I was truly blessed to be at William Jewell College (WJC) with a supportive faculty and staff who worked with me so I didn’t have to drop out. My parents were unable to afford to fly in to town. WJC flew my parents in town to be with me after I was told by the doctor that he thought I might have a brain tumor. Thankfully that wasn’t the case. The search continued as to what was wrong this time. It turned out to be a reaction to a medication that I was on. I was determined to finish college and graduate school despite being told by those around me that I would never make it due to my illness. I’m a stubborn person and set out to prove them wrong. I have always struggled with my symptoms, some times more than others. I was determined I wasn’t going to let my symptoms rule my life. Which wasn’t always the best choice as some decisions would send me to bed for days. After graduate school and working for 2 ½ years I felt God calling me to go to Moscow Russia. My mother freaked out. The thought of me being half way around the world without my doctor whom we all trusted was more than she could handle. My parents and I met with my doctor who agreed to work with me via internet and phone in monitoring my symptoms. My doctor had learned over the years that I knew my body well. I would often walk in his office and tell him what was wrong before he examined me. More times than not I was right. He sent me over with several medications including antibiotics that he thought I might need. My two years in Russia wound up being a tremendous blessing, not only for the experience but for the lack of stress and therefore fewer symptoms. Life in Russia is so much simpler than here in the US. This helped my symptoms greatly. I found a student who was a massage therapist who worked with me on a regular basis. I slept when I needed and was able to adjust my daily responsibilities based on my symptoms. My symptoms diminished greatly as my stress diminished. The only exception to this was my migraines. My body is very sensitive to the barometric pressure. It snowed so often in the winter, which seemed to trigger my migraines. I got married 1 ½ years ago, gained weight and my symptoms got worse. I was having more bad days then good ones. The pain and fatigue were unbearable at times. Massage therapy and muscle relaxers weren’t doing the trick anymore. I was really frustrated because I wanted children and the thought of having children with my symptoms really scared me. I did some searching online and found the FCI support group. I hesitated about going because my experience with Fibromyalgia/CFS support groups in the past weren’t positive. At my first FCI support group I heard for the first time that I could heal from Fibromyalgia/CFS. How wonderful that would be! I attended a few support groups and soaked in what everyone was saying, the treatments they tried, what was helpful, etc. In December after an FCI support group meeting, Phyllis Woolard strongly recommended that I go see Dr. David Beaulieu, Dr. David as he is known to his patients, who practices NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques). Phyllis explained NAET (www.naet.com) to me and I have to admit I was skeptical. I thought about going for over a month. I hesitated because it wasn’t covered by my insurance. I then remembered something I had heard at a support group meeting, “you can’t wait for your insurance to get you well.” I talked with my husband and we decided that we could afford a treatment a week but I still had questions. How did this really work, what about the yeast component, etc. I remembered that Phyllis told me Dr. David took calls free of charge on Tuesdays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. I looked up the number on his website (www.askdoctordavid.com, 816-753-4866) and called. Dr. David took time to answer all of my questions. I made an appointment for the next week. I was tested for the 18 basics and was sensitive to 14 of them. After about a month of going once a week I started feeling better. I have now been seeing Dr. David since January 2008 and I feel so much better. My pain is gone, my energy is increasing and I haven’t had a migraine since March 2008. The last week of May, I actually woke up with no pain. It took me a moment to realize this as I stood in the shower. I didn’t remember what this felt like! The zero pain didn’t last all day but I was thankful for while it lasted. I see the change and so does my husband. After starting to feel better, I started going off my prescription medication. I am still in this process as I’m doing it very slowly but it’s working. I’m finding that my body doesn’t need all the medication that was prescribed. Dr. David has truly helped me. I have to admit, I didn’t believe the NAET treatments would work at first. In fact, I didn’t truly believe they were working until I was treated for B Complex. Before seeing Dr. David I had a rash on the corners of my mouth that wouldn’t go away despite multiple visits to the dermatologist and multiple courses of Nystatin, to supposedly treat a yeast infection. I mentioned this to Dr. David my first visit, who told me that a reaction to B Complex can cause a rash as well. As soon as I cleared B Complex, the rash disappeared and hasn’t returned. My only regret through my NAET experience is that waited a month
to call Dr. David after Phyllis recommended him. I am not completely
well but I am well on my way! |
