			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Dr. David,</p>
<p>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&#8217;t even go to someone&#8217;s house who had a cat. Within a few minutes I would be wheezing, sneezing, itching, and dripping and have to go home.</p>
<p>I did several <a href="http://www.askdoctordavid.com/allergy-treatment/">NAET treatments</a> with Betsy for various aspects of cat allergies including cat hair, cat saliva, cat urine, and kitty litter.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />Sharon Arnoldi</p>

<span id="more-163"></span><br />
<em>A personal note from Dr. David:</em> </p>
<p>I met Michelle Chappell early in my NAET practice when she brought her family in for care. I was impressed with her open mindedness and ability to think outside of the Newtonian/Cartesian, reductionistic model presented in medical school. Her interest in NAET grew in proportion to the results her family experienced, and soon we were talking about the possibilities of her becoming a NAET practitioner, a possibility that has become a reality.</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s world, our pets are more a part of our family than ever before. Unfortunately, they also suffer with most of the diseases and disorders that are common to the household. </p>
<p>Allergy is quickly making it to the top of that list. Standard Veterinary Allergy medicine is largely unsuccessful, expensive, symptom oriented, and fraught with side effects. NAET eliminates allergies in dogs and cats, just as it does in people, is reasonably priced, and side-effect free. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s an easy choice to make for the pets we love. </p>

Certified Animal Chiropractor<br />
7199 W. 98th Terrace, Ste. 150<br />
Shawnee Mission, KS 66212<br />
913-648-5700</p>
<p><em>A personal note from Dr. David:</em></p>
<p>I met Grace Brewer when my dog hurt his back playing Frisbee. Usually those kinds of injuries resolve themselves in a few days, but this time it didn&#8217;t. After weeks of watching him limp around I knew he needed some help.<br />
<span id="more-160"></span><br />
I was referred to Dr. Brewer by <a href="http://www.askdoctordavid.com/chappell/" title="Dr. Michelle Chappell">Dr. Michelle Chappell, D.V.M.</a> As a chiropractor with over 35 years in practice, I feel I am uniquely qualified to judge another doctor&#8217;s manipulative abilities. Considering that a dog can&#8217;t tell you where it hurts, I would have to rate Grace Brewer&#8217;s evaluation and manipulative technique as exceptional. Coupled with a genuine love for animals and devotion to her client&#8217;s pets, she was a perfect fit. </p>
<p>My dog, Cyrano, enjoyed his visits and responded positively to her care. I also found her holistic ideas regarding animal diet and supplementation on target. When you have an ailing pet it affects the whole family. When structural problems arise, a Certified Animal Chiropractor is a smart place to seek a second opinion. It certainly worked for my dog. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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. <span id="more-24"></span>Growing up in the 60s and 70s doctors weren&#8217;t curious enough to determine why every time I went to a friend&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>When my children were growing up they continually asked why Mommy couldn&#8217;t have a dog. They acted like they understood but you know in their hearts they didn&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s, during the treatment, would jokingly say &#8220;Mom, are you going to the witch doctor today?&#8221; because they too couldn&#8217;t understand how this could work.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Theresa</p>
