I know it sounds unbelievable, but it’s true. After years of suffering, my chronic insomnia, low blood sugar and aches and pains have completely disappeared because my food allergies were treated,’’ says Mumbai-based housewife Kanchan Parekh. Her bouncing back to health got her sceptical jewellery-exporter husband looking for similar answers for his back and leg aches too—and once again the culprit was food allergies. Testimonials pour in from people who have been helped by the US-based Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET). Falling hair, hay fever, hives, poor memory, and dyslexia have all been treated. All of which could have been due to allergies ranging from milk products to cosmetics, chemicals and plastics. The originator of this non-invasive treatment method is a US-based allopath Dr Devi Nambudripad. The Kerala-born doctor developed the system in 1983 based on kinesiology, chiropractry and Chinese acupuncture. Her books, clinics and workshops have been making waves in the western world where she has trained over 25,000 doctors. For the first time, she is coming to India to train professionals over a five-day period. ‘‘An allergy is an abnormal, adverse physical reaction of the body to certain substances known as allergens or antigens which may be harmless to most other individuals,’’ explain Mumbai acupuncturists Meher Davis and Firoza Moos who have trained with Dr Nambudripad in Los Angeles.
