An Autism Study Using Nambudripad's Food Allergy Elimination Treatments

Overview

1\. We hypothesize that children in the experimental group will show a significant improvement over the control group as all food allergens groups and some other relevant allergenic substances are desensitized in a systematic way using the NAET® methodology within the specified period of study.

An autism Pilot Study Using NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques) Aim/Question: The principle goal of this proposed study (pilot study) is to test the efficacy of NAET® (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique) protocols for the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder in children between the ages of 3-10 years old, especially in the areas of improving language and communication skills. To elaborate further, the NAET® protocols uses chiropractic/acupuncture manipulation of spinal nerve roots to alert the nervous system about the presence of the allergen in the hand and thus to wake up the dormant sensory nerve fibers (the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers) that carry messages from the periphery to the association cortex of the brain, through spinal nerves of the body, as well as from the brain to the periphery and target organs (also known as afferent and efferent nerves). This is followed by acupressure massage on specific acupuncture points to balance the energy of the entire nervous system. Avoidance of the treated allergen/substance for 24 hours after treatment completes the NAET® treatment protocol. When we enroll them into NAET program, most of them are nonverbal and non-communicable. But by the time they complete 10 to 15 NAET basic treatments for an allergy to essential nutrients, most of them start verbal and nonverbal communications, social interactions, playing with other children, improve sleep, reduce restlessness, reduce irritability, reduce abnormal body movements like flapping hands, pulling hair, etc., and start behaving like normal children. When they finish the complete NAET program most of them become normal again. The complete NAET program usually takes about 75-100 office visits over a span of couple of years. Method: The NAET® method has been highlighted in literature (Nambudripad DS: Say Goodbye to Illness, Third Edition, Delta Pub 1999, 136-137; Nambudripad DS: Say Good-bye to Allergy-related Autism. Delta Pub 2001; The Journal of NAET Energetics and complementary medicine 1 (1) 76-79, 2005, The Journal of NAET Energetics and complementary medicine 1 (1) 85-86, 2005, Tsering: Natural Health 29 (6) 80-85, 1999, and and Teuber and Porch-Curren: Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol 3:217-221, 2003). NARF IRB Approval: After the design and conceptualization of this clinical project, a summary of the project was submitted to the Nambudripad's Allergy Research Foundation Institutional Review Board. The NARF IRB will study the project and would meet to discuss the pros and cons of this project. There will be external physicians whose specialization would include pediatrics and child welfare to evaluate the project and the ethical treatment to children. (The board after asking several questions approved this study unanimously in October 2004. The Board also requested for periodic (every six months) updates on the progress of this project).
