<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> In the last 6 months I have been going for treatment using NAET. I have been given accupressure, not accupuncture. I am Celiac with many other intolerances. My husband was allergic to wheat and diary. He suffered his whole life with diarrhea and stomach pain which was checked out by all sorts of tests and the doctors could never established a cause. I suggested wheat because he was allergic to wheat (respitory symtoms and dairy, because he always had a severe stomachache after eating ice cream at night) and took him to get NAET with me. He was very reluctant as he had always referred to my alternative care doctors as the "Witch Doctors", but went along anyway. He never had another problem with stomach aches after ice cream and his diarrhea disappeared. Since he was not a believer, and his symptoms were medically check out I felt that he would be a good indication of whether it was a true therapy. I also went and was desensitized for gluten, soy, flouride,egg, citrus,and several other allergies. I never seemed to have an outward symptom when eating eggs or citrus. I never tested the results for gluten, because I wanted to leave well enough alone, but felt if it helped should I get a contamination that would be good. The results with me were not good. I still cannot eat soy and although I usually drink distilled water, I do drink pepsi, or did. It seems pepsi changed their bottling plant. I did not know it until I started to get the pains I usually get for flouride (pressure between the shoulder blades and a feeling of tightness in the chest and throat) Sure enough the label disclosed a different plant on the label. So that was also ineffective. I believe I still have leaky gut, so the problem could be quite different than allergy, but that still doesn't help with milk and soy. I wonder if those who are allergic are different than those with intolerance. I show no allergies on my blood tests, but I also think I have IGA deficiency. My doctor did not want to test for IGA deficiency because she felt that if it was identified, there was nothing that they could do about it, so why waste the money on the test. I guess everyone will have to make their own decisions on this issue. It may help some. Carol in NJ
