Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) for Pet Allergies
The Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET), offered at the South San Diego Veterinary Hospital, introduces a unique approach to treating allergies in pets. Based on Chinese medicine, this technique uses muscle response testing to identify allergies and non-invasive acupressure to treat them. There is a broad range of symptoms treatable by veterinary NAET, from digestive issues to emotional stresses, showcasing its holistic approach to pet wellness. Call 619-423-7121

What Is Veterinary NAET, and How Can It Help Treat Domestic Pets?
The Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) is a diagnostic and treatment technique based on the principles of Chinese medicine and developed primarily for humans. That has altered many people's lives for the last 20 years through the work of Dr. Nambudripad and over 2,000 trained practitioners
worldwide. Evaluation and treatment consist of simple muscle response testing of various substances to determine the existence and extent of allergic sensitivities. Since 1994, Drs. Roger Valentine and Jan Steele have extended the use of NAET to an efficient application for domestic pets.
Although the term "allergy" has been widely used in the medical profession and the public sphere for decades, knowledge about the nature of allergies and their implications is still in its infancy. Many people think of allergies simply as a limited group of symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, hives, asthma, or hay fever. Fortunately, increasing numbers of health professionals are beginning to recognize allergic reactions as factors in most illnesses and disorders.
Allergies are understood to be an unusual sensitivity to certain substances. An allergy may result from numerous causes, including repeated exposure to a particularly strong or toxic allergen over a short period or from events such as severe trauma, major surgery, any anesthetic event, vaccinations, emotional stresses such as a change in habitat, weaning, or change in family members (human or animal).
Pet Allergies Caused by Stressors
In the case of pets, an allergy may be caused by several substances or environmental influences. It may follow a variety of minor or significant stresses to your pet.
An animal that has been exposed repeatedly to a particularly strong or toxic allergen over some time may exhaust the body's defenses. Symptoms may worsen at certain times of the year, as in the case of pollen allergies. Symptoms may also be more acute at specific locations or under certain conditions. This is because more significant amounts of the offending allergy can be contacted under particular circumstances.
Through the practice of veterinary NAET, these stresses (traumatic, environmental, and emotional) are first identified and then eliminated.
TCM & Veterinary NAET
Veterinary NAET, which applies Chinese medicine principles through acupuncture, kinesiology, and acupressure, comprises two distinct modalities. The diagnostic method, human or animal, is muscle response testing (MRT). At the same time, the treatment component involves stimulating the spinal nerves via acupressure to reimprint the brain's recognition of the allergen. When used with animals, as with human infants, a human acts as the intermediary between the physician and the patient. The surrogate extends one arm and places the other hand on the patient. The surrogate places Various substances in glass vials on the patient. While the vial is held against the patient, the practitioner applies downward pressure against the surrogate's extended arm; meanwhile, the surrogate attempts to resist this pressure. Suppose a sensitivity to a substance is detected. The arm will weaken in that case, and the surrogate cannot resist the pressure. Once the sensitivities are identified, a quick, painless, and non-invasive acupressure treatment through the surrogate is used to rebalance the pet's nervous system response to the identified allergens. Muscle testing is also utilized in the prescriptive phase to identify necessary medications and individualize dosages.
