My posts this summer have been scant at best. But the changes in our home have been nothing short of miraculous.
I have waited to post an update, because I know what it is like to get your hopes up about a new treatment “curing” autism. And I’ve never heard of one “curing” ADHD. In the last 10 years we have achieved incremental break throughs, and improvements, but nothing like this.
NAET may not be for you, but for us… it is how God has chosen to bless our children with normal lives once again. I will never forget the day right before Lizzie’s 6th birthday when the psychologist gave her the PDD-NOS diagnosis (the school would later classify her as Aspersers’). He said, “I am glad she has a disability. Now you will have to split your time between your kids because they both have special needs”
Ironically about 2 years ago I just started doing every treatment and supplement we tried on BOTH kids. Thus they BOTH went to Pfeiffer and when we started the NAET, they BOTH started. So yes, maybe because they BOTH had special needs, it caused me to keep searching and in the end – finding the cure for BOTH.
Ok – enough suspense. Here is where the kids are in treatments. Lizzie is getting ready for treatment 30 Monday. After the basic 15 she has been treated for potatoes, tomatoes and peppers, soy, spice mix 1 &2, Flu vaccine, MMR, DPaT, milks and yogurts, chocolate cake, mayonnaise, Candida, mold, artificial colors, artificial flavors, nuts, and gelatin.
Job is ready for treatment number 27 on Monday. Beyond the basic 15 he has been treated for histamine, food colors, his DS, milks and yogurts, mold, popcorn and oats, artificial flavors, nuts, soy, chocolate, caffeine and spices.
BOTH kids are able to eat just about anything they please. We have been pushing the limits on fast food, pizza, cakes and ice cream. We still need to treat for artificial sugars and MSG. Job also needs to be treated for tomatoes and gelatin. Lizzie needs a treatment for dried beans. The kids get a little hyper on some foods, but definitely a huge improvement.
Lizzie is off ALL her meds!! She has been completely med free for 2 weeks. Job is down to ½ of his ADD med and off ALL other meds. I cannot tell you how freeing it is to just give one medicine in the morning and not think about meds and supplements all day long!
I literally packed for our week trip and drive to Florida in 2 hours. And forgot nothing. Because I didn’t have to plan all our meals, bring all our food, pack a huge cooler for the road, sort hundreds of pills and divided tens of medicines. One med, swim suits a few outfits and a bag of toys. Off we went. It was so relaxing!
The kid’s bodies are definitely adjusting the crappy American diet. Lizzie will get stomach aches when she eats too much. I can’t blame the kids for binging on cereal and pizza. I mean, can you imagine having lived their restricted diet lives? I can’t! It was hard enough being the cook!
So there you have it, no special diet. Only one med left at ½ the previous dose. And the icing on the cake (literally) – the kids are growing! Both have grown ½ and inch this summer (by my measurement). Lizzie has gained 14 pounds and Job is finally started to gain weight these past few weeks. He is up 3-5 pounds. The big test will be the measurements this week at the pediatricians.
Being a researcher I know God chose the NAET to cure our kids because I am totally relying on faith to do the NAET treatments, and pick what to test – treat next. I still can’t explain NAET, but I can explain what symptoms it is eliminating. Praise be to GOD!
I have more to share with you about how Job did weaning off his anxiety ( blood pressure meds) and Job’s latest EDS tests that really tell us what has happened in his body the last 6 months. More miracles revealed… stay tuned!
Lisa, I’m SOOO happy for you and your precious kids. This is wonderful news, and I’m rejoicing with you. Miss you, my friend.
That’s such wonderful news!!! My kid has now completed 33 NAET treatments, and I’m still not sure if it’s working for him. I’ve seen a few small improvements, but nothing that has really taken the doubt out of my mind. After the basics we moved on to environmentals, and he’s still suffering from eczema. Sometimes it clears up, but then it comes back. Of course it could be food which we haven’t gotten to yet (but it’s on a very restricted diet.) Do you see noticeable improvements right away with their treatments?

We just finished treatments 30 and 32 on our kiddos. Lizzie has 2 more to go and then she is done! Job will have lots more! he still has food allergies, environmental allergies and vaccines to clear. He has shown huge improovements, but also big set backs – like this week with ragweed! My son still reacts negatively to some foods, but the reactions are less and he is not having huge treatment reactions anymore either.
I think my son and yours just have a tin of crap their little bodies need to work through. Oh and we also are doing homeopathy and chiropractic. NAET is great, but these harder cases are going to take more than 1 silver bullet!

That is so awesome! I’m looking forward to the day we don’t have to pack food to go on a trip. My oldest has been doing NAET treatments for a little over 2 years and my baby (21 months) has been going since she was about 2 or 3 months. We’ve seen incredible results so far and not having to give asthma treatments every 2 hours during the spring and fall anymore, but still a long way to go with my oldest having extremely stubborn allergies to dairy & eggs.
Yes! Praise God. NAET has changed my family’s life. I have chronicled our journey at my blog. naetexperiment.blogspot.com
What a wonderful wealth of information on your blog! We completed our NAET last year with Dr. Singh instead. So happy to live a life without speical diet. We did GFCF for 3 years and GAPS about 8 months. Both well ok but it was very difficult to live a life under those diets. No more ADD meds for my son now. He stopped taking the med since Aug of 2011 and he is doing 1,000 times better now than with the med and on special diet. You are correct about there isn’t just one magic silver bullet for the health issues we have to deal with. I started Dr. Pitman’s chiro appt last week, can’t believe the difference my body feels now. My son can’t wait to have his appointment with Pitman. His neck has been hurting him his entire life. Don’t know why I never thought of getting him the chiropractic until now. There is so much to learn about our human body and what is out there that really works. God is good to us!

I so agree. I feel like a crazy person trying to explaing all my “alternative” treaments. But the do WORK!!
And we too and SOOO happy to be off the diet!
