The term “allergy” covers a lot of ground in our world. Ask a medical doctor what it means and you will get a specific answer. However, many people that have consulted with medical practitioners and been told that they do not have allergies or only have allergies to a few specific items, continue to have reactive symptoms. Some say that this means they have “sensitivities,” not allergies.

People can have reactions to anything with which they come in contact, and we are all different. Sometimes these reactions occur with exposure to something new. In other cases, they develop after many exposures. A holistic view of allergies/sensitivities considers these terms to be interchangeable. What is occurring is that the body’s energy is thrown off balance when exposed to the energy of the allergen, resulting in symptoms. To recover from this therefore requires that the person not be exposed to the allergen. In our Western medical culture, this is the answer.

But what if we could stop the body from going out of balance? This is the possibility offered by Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET). Developed by Devi Nambudripad, M.D., DC, LAc, Ph.D., these techniques utilize kinesiology, chiropractic and acupuncture to identify the causes of imbalance and then to eliminate them. NAET is a non-invasive and successful way to regain healthful function in our bodies and live a life free from the fears and inconveniences of allergic reactions.

Tucson Chiropractor Martha H. Bergner has been trained by Dr. Nambudripad and has been practicing NAET for more than 13 years. For more information, call 520-296-5899 or visit DesertMountainHealth.com and naet.com.
