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.

Our first visit took place when Luke was 10 months old. Because of my fear of what I ate (I had always breast fed Luke) and our fear of what he could eat directly, Luke was down from the 60th percentile on growth, to the 10th. We felt like we were giving him more drugs than food. We started NAET treatments in August, by December, we felt confident enough to try weaning him off of his drugs. We were successful, he did fine. Not that there weren’t challenges.

Luke had so many sensitivities, but we did the work with Sandy at the office and we’re proud 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!
