Dr. Devi who holds degrees in several health fields, was born with a number of serious allergies and many health problems. She began studying the healing arts as part of her own life-long quest to help herself and other sick people. Today she is a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, a medical doctor, and a nurse. Her discovery of how to treat and eliminate allergies has not only brought her back to health, but it has also helped thousands upon thousands of patients who are now allergy – free. Her workshops and symposiums have trained over 10,000 medical professionals in NAET, and today there are practitioners in every part of the world.
A condition of unusual sensitivity of one individual to one or more substances (may be inhaled, swallowed or contacted by the skin), which may be harmless or even beneficial to the majority of other individuals. In sensitive individuals, contact with these substances (allergens) can produce a variety of symptoms in varying degrees ranging from slight ADHD to Autism, mild itching to swelling of the tissues and organs, mild runny nose to severe asthmatic attacks, general tiredness or fatigue to severe anaphylaxis. The ingested, inhaled, injected or contacted allergen is capable of alerting the immune system of the body. The frightened and confused immune system then commands the white blood cells to produce immunoglobulins to stimulate the release of neuro-chemical defense forces like histamines from the mast cells. These chemical mediators are released as part of the body’s immune response.

It is safe and painless, and it can be done on infants, young children, and even ill or very frail patients.
Dr. Devi realized that chronic illness often results from undiagnosed food and chemical sensitivities, including intolerances to vitamins and minerals. If you are having health problems, or don’t feel well, or have been to doctors who can’t tell you why you don’t feel well, then it’s likely you have intolerances to foods and don’t know it.
Treating the basics allows the body to begin to heal and rebuild itself
