Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques
NAET in figures
The NAET technique was developed in 1983, and Dr Devi
Nambudripad started teaching it to other health professionals in
1989. There are now about 4000 NAET practitioners, most of
them resident in North America. At the same time, since June 2000,
more than 500 have already been trained in
Europe*.
Current distribution by medical specialisation is roughly as
follows: 15% medical doctors, 40% acupuncturists, 30% chiropractors
and 15% others (homeopaths, dentists, osteopaths, physiotherapists,
naturopaths, etc.).
The majority of these health professionals have now made NAET the
core part of their practice and their patients are constantly
increasing in number thanks to simple "word of mouth" effect.
Dr Nambudripad has documented thousands of clinical case histories
in order to enable the method to be scientifically evaluated, with
the help of a number of academic researchers. She has published
several books including her principal work,
Say Goodbye to Illness (3rd
edition).
Last but nor least, NAET has just obtained specific insurance
billing codes from several insurance companies in the United
States.
Training in Europe
Several training seminars are held in Europe every year,
either with Dr Nambudripad or with instructors trained by her in
America. These seminars are held in English with the assistance of
professional interpreters where necessary. NAET certification can
be obtained once the whole training program has been completed.
This involves a basic training seminar (sufficient to begin
practising) and an advanced seminar, each of which lasts 3
days.
This training program is open to all health professionals with a
diploma qualifying them to practice one of the above-mentioned
specialisations. There is also an organisation based in
France whose mission is to propagate the NAET method in Europe
and provide the necessary framework for creating and promoting a
European network of NAET-trained practitioners who operate in
accordance with the original methodology.
* NAET has been described in the book (1000p): Alternative Medicine, the Definitive Guide", at the end of a 7 pages specific review of the technique, as follows:
"...a growing number of physicians are heralding NAET's merits and incorporating it into their practice, making it one of the fastest-growing new therapies in the field of alternative medicine".
