The Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique, or "NAET," is a diagnostic and treatment technique based on the principles of Chinese Medicine and developed primarily for humans. It has altered the lives of many people for the last 15 years through the work of Dr. Nambudripad and over two-thousand trained practitioners around the world.

Evaluation and treatment consists of simple muscle response testing of various substances to determine the existence and extent of allergic sensitivities. Since 1994, Drs. Roger Valentine and Rahmie Valentine have extended the use of NAET to a highly-effective 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 continue to think of allergies simply as a limited group of symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, hives, and 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 of time, or from events such as serious trauma, major surgery, any anesthetic event, vaccinations, as well as emotional stresses such as change in habitat, weaning, or change in family members (human or animal).

In the case of pets, an allergy may be caused by a number of substances or environmental influences. It may follow a variety of minor or major stresses to your pet:

Major stresses include:		Minor stresses include:
Chronic illlness Spay Declaw Anesthetic event Abuse Major Dentistry Neuter Bite wounds Hit by car Abandonment		Vaccinations Water changes Family stresses Food changes Habitat or household changes New pets in household

Through the practice of Veterinary NAET, these stresses (traumatic, environmental, and emotional) are first identified and then eliminated:

Veterinary NAET recognizes three main categories of energy blockage:

• Structural/environmental
• Chemical/nutritional
• Psychological/emotional

Conditions treated and resolved with Veterinary NAET, but not generally recognized to have an allergic basis, can include:

• Eosinophilic lesions
• Toxic chemical reactions
• Vaccine reactions
• Idiopathic' bowel disease
• Gingivitis
• Gastritis
• Cystitis
• Sinusitis
• Rhinitis
• Asthma
• Constipation
• Diabetes mellitus
• Chronic recurring infections
• Conjunctivitis
• External otitis
• Dandruff
• Seborrheic dermatitis
• Pancreatitis

... as well as the more commonly agreed-upon allergic conditions such as over-grooming, flea allergy dermatitis, food intolerance, and allergic bronchitis.

Besides environmental chemical and nutritional substances that can be identified and cleared, problem behaviors and emotional upsets can be resolved through Veterinary NAET as well.

The Drs. Valentine have modified basic NAET principles and transformed them into an effective treatment for allergies in domestic pets. Just as allergies have become a significant problem for people in recent years, the veterinary profession has likewise encountered a greater number of animals with allergies than ever before. NAET, therefore, is an ideal diagnostic and treatment modality for all holistic veterinary practices.

No other method has been developed for use in animals that can identify and cure allergies. It is now possible to impact the lives of pets and their owners for the first time by the extension of NAET to the veterinary community.
