I have experienced a professional epiphany and have come to realize that the healthcare system does not necessarily facilitate good health. Unfortunately, the existing system functions as a disease management system where many times symptoms are alleviated, but physiological causes are never addressed. There are trained physicians adhering to the standards of care they were taught; yet there seems to be a revolving door of patients who have a growing list of medications. The results are frustrating for both patients and practitioners.

Another term used loosely in the medical community is health care team. As the patient, you are a member of the team. It benefits you to be more knowledgeable about your health conditions. Many accepted medical standards of care today fall short of having true therapeutic and restorative value. There are definite systemic problems but that should not undermine the professionals’ duty to do the job well or prevent openness to alternative/complementary options to care. With the technology available today, you have enormous amounts of information available to help you make informed decisions about you choices. Use it! Any doctor who encourages you otherwise is not the doctor for you. Choose your physician wisely!

When our daughter had been diagnosed with severe, life-threatening asthma, my husband and I felt we had few choices in regards to her medical care. We saw pediatricians, allergists, and pulmonologists in consultation and it was a great concern when she obtained no relief from the traditional medical interventions. The massive dosages of steroids had greatly compromised her health and led us yet to another specialist, the endocrinologist.

After extensive testing, we were told that she had no sever allergies but some mild sensitivities which were, “Certainly nothing that would be contributing to the severity of her condition.” Our concerns continued to grow as her condition grew more ominous.

I received a phone call from a concerned family friend, who happens to be a family practice doctor. He hesitantly suggested that we had other “alternatives” and told us about NAET. I started my journey into alternative/complimentary medicine and did some research. I found that NAET — an anachronism for Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Treatment, was a unique approach to treating allergies/sensitivities and other chronic inflammatory conditions.

I met with “Dr. David”. Dr. David Beaulieu, M.S., D.C. is the leading NAET Practitioner in the KS/MO area. He explained that the treatments are non-invasive and a drug free natural solution to eliminate allergies/sensitivities of all types and intensities through the use of “energy balancing” kinesiology and acupressure. Dr. David has been using NAET in conjunction with other modalities in his practice for over fifteen years.

I was skeptical, to say the least, but desperation won out over skepticism. We proceeded with NAET and the treatments were nothing short of incredible. Following NAET, she has had no reoccurrence or treatment for asthma in ten years. No inhalers, no nebulizer, no medications, no trips to the hospital for asthma! I wondered, “If NAET can do this for asthma, what can it do for other chronic inflammatory diseases?”

I was invited by Dr. David to learn more and began to “shadow” him in his office. For over a year I was observing, asking questions and satisfying my curiosity regarding the use and effectiveness of NAET. I even had NAET treatments myself and found that my health improved. No longer did I have those vague “I don’t feel good” complaints. I felt better than I had felt in twenty years. I began following the life-style instructions I heard him giving to patients. I’m now one of the few women my age that I know who can say “I am pharmaceutically FREE.”

Because of the many positive patient outcomes I have observed with Dr. David, I made the decision to go to California to be trained in NAET and Advanced NAET with the founder, Dr. Devi Nambudripad. It has been the most satisfying experience of my nursing career to work with Dr. David in his practice and to assist in the treatment of patients with a wide gamut of inflammatory disease processes. Most of our patients, like my daughter, come to our office as an act of desperation when nothing else they have tried has brought any relief or improved the quality of life.

If you wonder if you might benefit from NAET; if you just don’t feel as good as you think you should and don’t know why; if you have been told you have no allergies or sensitivities but still have symptoms; if you are taking numerous prescription drugs and finding no relief from physical symptoms, consider the possibilities of NAET. Dr. David Beaulieu is available for free telephone consultations to discuss your health and nutritional concerns. You can view the web site at www.askdoctordavid.com. Be sure to read our “Patient Stories”, which are testimonies of how patients have been helped by NAET.

The FDA has decided to examine the link between food dyes and hyperactivity in children. How can a government agency get so lost in an age where even automobiles have navigation devices to find a destination?

I sometimes wonder if any of the experts at the FDA are familiar with libraries. I first learned of the Feingold Diet in the seventies at the old Clendening library at KU Medical Center. Ben Feingold, M.D., became famous for a diet that eliminated food dyes and salicylates (aspirin like compounds). Results were mixed, suggesting that hyperactivity and other behaviors now categorized Hyperactive/Attention deficit, etc. are caused by more than just salicylate and food dye sensitivity. Nevertheless, many children and adults obtained relief with the diet. Medicine continued to pursue the One Cause/One Cure approach, and because the Feingold Diet didn’t fix everyone it was paid scant attention by the authorities.

My ‘hyperactive’ patients received decent results when applying the diet and we still check for these sensitivities with the NAET protocol and find they are often a culprit.

Ben Feingold can be googled successfully for more information. I wonder if the FDA has figured out how to google?

If they would pay attention to the increase in genetically modified foods (thanks Monsanto), they would probably come up with some answers.

They noted that prescriptions for epinephrine injectors (EpiPens) increased 700% in 13 years, and hospital admission increased by a quarter. These statistics parallel those of the USA, and awareness of the cascading allergy problem could save the life of a member of your family.

Valuable information is available on allergy treatment and nutritional assessment. Take some time and check out what our patients have to say.

After some personal investigation (thank goodness for the internet) I determined that I had the typical symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) but nothing I did with my diet eased my ongoing discomfort. Intestinal distress had become a way of life for me. After the age of 50, my chronic constipation turned to frequent uncontrollable diarrhea.

Fortunately, two years ago Dr. David was recommended to me by my daughter-in-law.

Dr. David was the first and only doctor who took the time to talk with me first and then examine me. He identified my very distressed upper and lower intestinal track among other weak areas and prescribed a vitamin and probiotic regimen that helped me begin to heal.

He also identified food allergies that contributed to my intestinal distress. Calcium was one of the many minerals/supplements that I could not absorb and was one of the many things, along with dairy products, that resulted in uncontrollable diarrhea. My inability to absorb calcium created potential bone loss issues as I continued to age.

After a few NAET treatments, I was able to overcome many of those allergies which allowed me to begin taking calcium supplements again. Fortunately, my bone scans now reveal a normal bone density for my age.

Although Dr. David’s vitamin and NAET treatments have been invaluable to my quality of life, his greatest gift to me is the time he takes to answer my questions not only when I am in his office but during his “free” call times.

I have never worked with a doctor who takes the time to answer all of my questions in a manner that is clear to me with such grace and understanding. Dr. David has dedicated his life to helping others and is a credit to the medical profession.

I haven’t been able to continue treatments during this school year because of my work schedule this year. But as spring arrives and everyone is suffering from spring allergies, I suddenly realized that I am NOT!! I can’t thank you enough.

In addition, my B.M.’s have remained perfect. You are a miracle worker!!

Thank you so much,

I wanted to tell you about an amazing and wonderful event in my life this week. Ever since I was a child I was remarkably allergic to cats. It has only gotten worse over the decades. I couldn’t even go to someone’s house who had a cat. Within a few minutes I would be wheezing, sneezing, itching, and dripping and have to go home.

I did several NAET treatments with Betsy for various aspects of cat allergies including cat hair, cat saliva, cat urine, and kitty litter.

I brought in samples of cat hair and saliva for all the cats I know. I have several cats, they are mostly outdoor cats since I live on a farm. I have never been able to pet my cats without having a huge allergy attack. I certainly would never consider brushing a cat.

Since having NAET I am now able to pet my cats, which is very enjoyable for me but I still had not gotten my courage up enough to brush a cat. The idea just seemed to be pure folly. Remember, I have had a lifetime of allergy issues with cats. Then last week I realized that my long haired cat was shedding his winter coat and had developed quite a few mats. I was unable to convince my husband that he should brush the cat to get the mats out so I bravely decided to tackle the project myself. Soon I found myself sitting in a sea of cat hair with hair swirling in the air around me and sticking to my clothes in big clumps.

Amazingly, this did not trigger a huge allergy attack. I am simply amazed that NAET could have worked this well, really beyond my wildest dreams. There is no amount of drugs that could have kept a major allergy attack from occurring under those circumstances.

Besides solving the cat allergy, I can now eat a wide variety of foods without getting a headache. I never thought that would be possible. NAET is just a wonderful, effective, painless and inexpensive treatment modality. I highly recommend it to any one with any kind of allergies. It can truly change a person’s life.

Sincerely,

Our then two and a half year old daughter had suffered with loose bowels and stomach cramping since infancy. She was also a much smaller child that her older sister being only 25% of average in height and weight. When she was six months old she needed an aminophylline inhaler for bronchiolitis. She had four ear infections before she was a year old despite being breast fed, no daycare and no smokers in the house.

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 fumes. 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 most amazing was her check up that summer. Two months after starting NAET her height was in the 75th percentile and her weight was 50th. 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,

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 10 am to noon, 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.askdoctordavid.com – our doctor in KC’s website. Megan Brownlee is the nurse who does all of Ethan’s treatments. He loves her to pieces and can’t wait to go see her each week.
• www.naet.com – this is Dr. Nambudripad’s official website.
• Say Good-bye to Illness by Dr. Nambudripad is her initial and best book. Very detailed. Teaches self-testing for allergies, the meridians, etc.
• Say Good-by to Children’s Allergies by Dr. Nambudripad is also very good.
• 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.

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 your dedication and belief in the alternative. It takes courage.

The door is round and open. Don’t go back to sleep.

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!

…within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related; the eternal one. And this deep power in which we exist and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one.
