"Alternative Approaches to Allergies"
Guest Speaker: Nicole Rotondi, L.Ac.,Dipl.Ac.,MS


With Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET), food and environmental allergies are eliminated naturally and painlessly.  This is a revolutionary solution which provides relief from adverse reactions to allergens, and is used safely on both children and adults.  NAET is a synthesis of various medical disciplines, including acupressure/acupuncture, applied kinesiology, and nutrition.  NAET is designed to remove the energetic blockage, thereby allowing the body to function normally in the presence of the allergen.

Special offer to all PAK members - evaluation fee is waived.  So instead of it costing $115 for the evaluation, the fee is $65, which is the regular treatment charge.

Meeting Minutes:

1. Nicole referenced a book call "Say Good-Bye To Illness" written by Dr. Nambudripad. NAET, Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique is an innovative treatment for allergies that is completely natural, painless and non-invasive. 

2. Nicole's office does not claim to cure anaphylactic allergies.  In fact, if someone is anaphylactic, they usually have other milder allergies, and we focus on those.  We have some patients already that are anaphylactic, and even after we treat the substance they are anaphylactic to, we tell them they should NEVER try to eat or touch that substance.

3. Nicole stated an individual can be allergic to anything: foods, drinks, pharmaceutical drugs, herbs, vitamins, water, clothing, jewelry, chemicals, paint, silicone, latex, plastic, pollen, grasses, etc.

4. In NAET, allergies are viewed from a holistic perspective based on Oriental Medical principles and defined in terms of the effect an allergic substance has on the energy flow in the body.

5.  Nicole explained that when contact is with an allergen, it causes blockages in the energy pathways called meridians.  This energy blockage causes interference in communication between the brain and body via the nervous system which begins the chain of events that can develop into an allergic response.

6. By removing the blockages from energy pathways, NAET allows the body to regain a better energetic balance in order to reach optimum health.

7. Twenty percent of their practice are children and Smithtown Accupunture Center PC usually does not perform accupuncture until the age of 15.  Certain insurance is accepted.  Please call to verify.  Insurance will most likely not cover children.

8. Smithtown Accupunture Center PC has the most experience on Long Island with doing the NAET.  This is important because when treating severe allergy cases, you need a lot of experience and exposure to Dr. Nambudripad's classes. 

Also, it is very important to work with practitioners who are:
1. very familiar with treating kids
2. very familiar with treating people that are also anaphylactic. 
To learn more about one's credentials with NAET, go to www.naet.com.    

9. With this treatment you will see changes in sleep, moodiness, behavior, bowel movements, eating, socialization.

10. Consult a qualified personal physician before trying this technique.
