Are You Suffering From Allergic Tension-Fatigue Syndrome?

“This theory, developed in the U.S. in the 1930’s, proposes that repeated exposure to an allergen exhausts the body, including the immune system, and leaves it open to illness and further medical complications.  This can have a degenerative effect on energy levels, leading to chronic fatigue and serious health problems.  Removing the allergen will improve not only the symptoms of the allergy but also the medical conditions caused by the drain on energy levels.”**

Removing the allergen may sound like a simple solution but what if you can’t get away from the allergens or what if you can’t even identify them?  What if you could eliminate or reduce the reaction to an allergen?  That’s what NAET is designed to do.

“Although there are often a number of potential causes for any illness or condition, many symptoms can point to an undetected allergy.  Allergies are one of the commonest causes of fatigue problems, but awareness of them may remain hidden for years.”**

Could hidden allergies be causing you health problems?  NAET is a non-invasive method to help uncover and treat undetected allergies.

To most people an allergic reaction implies you have breathed, eaten, or touched something that causes your body to sneeze, cough, itch, swell, make your eyes water and/or your nose run. But allergies can also be the root cause for a wide range of ailments including but not limited to:

>Gastrointestinal ailments such as indigestion, constipation, ulcers, etc.

>Headaches & migraines

>Backaches

>Arthritis, joint pain, restless leg syndrome, etc.

>Brain symptoms such as brain fog, depression & attention-deficit disorders

>Skin problems including rashes, boils, slow healing wounds, etc.

>Heart irregularities

Modern life assaults our bodies from without as well as within.  We are exposed to chemicals in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.

Consider this.  At the turn of the century bread making required only whole grains, water, butter, baker’s yeast, and a little sweetener to help the yeast rise.  Today a modern loaf of bread may contain more than 100 different ingredients, including preservatives, coloring agents, insecticides, pesticides, and fungicides, as well as chemical residue from various packaging and cleaning procedures.  These can sensitize an immune system and cause us to react negatively to many other substances.

Our bodies are still biologically programmed to reside in a much simpler environment.  Is it any wonder that the number of people complaining of allergic reactions has increased dramatically? At the same time traditional Western style medical schools and journals are broadening their definitions of allergies and recognizing that the immune system, when under a perceived attack, will respond in many different ways leading to the ailments mentioned above.

In the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sept. 19, 2002 there was an article about findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine that counter decades of conventional thought regarding dust and allergies.  Where it was always thought that dust causes allergies and therefore should be avoided, a European study has shown that household dust actually helps protect children from developing hay fever or asthma.  The same has been found for children exposed to pets at an early age.

Just as conventional thoughts about the cause and effects of allergies are being challenged and changed, so are treatments for allergies.  NAET is a powerful and revolutionary technique with astonishing results.  Under the ALLERGIES tab, read what some of our patients treated with NAET have to say about their experience.
