"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." Thomas Edison
"Doctor, I've become sick under your care and you are fired!"
This isn't Donald Trump speaking on The Apprentice. This is what a physician 1500 years ago in China would have heard if any patients under their constant care became ill. The doctor-physician practiced acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary support and preventative health care was their specialty. In China, daily acupuncture treatments (high frequency) for 10 days or more was and is the norm for maximal effectiveness. Clinical evidence shows that a short course of frequent acupuncture treatments provides faster results than the once-a week or prolonged course of treatment practiced most commonly in the West.

On NAET® allergy relief--I have treated patients from age two months to 70 years old, and find enormous pleasure in watching how their lives change from such simple acupuncture/acupressure technique. One patient said,"I felt as if I was let out of jail!" Another describes it as "escape from allergy hell." My patients' improvement in health, mood, and behavior is, in some cases, incredibly profound, and the credit goes to the Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique. NAET®is a technique that quickly transforms lives for the better.
