5.0 out of 5 stars Are hidden allergies slowing you down?, March 8, 2003

By

This review is from: Say Good-Bye to Illness (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

As many people know, suffering from allergies is often times easier than following the doctor's advice to control them. Nambudripad addresses this issue in her book, "Say Good-Bye To Illness."

The book "Say Good-Bye To Illness" is an excellent resource book. It is filled with practical advice and tips on how to treat allergies with complete success.

Over the years Nambudripad's name has been maligned and sneered at as she pioneered the idea that it's not just heredity or pathogens that lead to chronic illness but unseen allergies accumulated over time. Allergies have always been presented to Americans as the hay fever sufferer or the anaphylactic peanut-eater. But millions of Americans are suffering from allergies to things they come in contact with daily and don't show up as a sneeze or anaphylactic shock but eventually lead to serious chronic illness. Traditional medical treatments are a miserable failure as attested to by many of our chronically ill. As the drugs and medicines have been added to the mix instead of noninvasive NAET treatments, Americans are suffering complications and a prognosis of continual deterioration. Dr. Nambudripad's idea that treating allergies with NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique) can lead to eradicating illness and better health for a host of chronically ill patients has been vindicated.

The NAET is a 4 step approach. Step 1 is where you begin treating the basic 10 immune boosters to tip the scale to bolster your immune system and get the immune system up and running to continue to Step 2. In this step you begin to treat individual allergies you may have to foods, substances, the environment, (any and all allergies and/or sensitivities) and these are continued based on your condition and rate of recovery. Some patients need three NAET treatments per week to start and then taper off as their condition improves. Step 3 is where you begin to assimilate and understand how NAET works to return you to a state of health and in Step 4 you learn to test and treat allergies on yourself. "Say Good-Bye to Illness" discusses each of these steps and concentrates mainly on Steps 3 and 4. "The Naet Guide Book" is the companion book to "Say Good-Bye to Illness" and it is a must read for every patient starting out on their NAET journey and it focuses mainly on Steps 1 and 2.

"Say Good-Bye To Illness" covers in great detail how Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques work. The first section of the book through Chapter 7 delves into what the techniques are and why and how they work. The second section, Chapter 8 through Chapter 11, describes NAET through the explanation of muscle response testing, causes of disease, and the discovery of NAET, to the role that Chinese medicine and the acupuncture meridians play in this exciting new health treatment.

Some of my favorite chapters are found in the third section of the book. Chapters 12 through Chapter 22 detail how specific allergies affect different organs in the body from the digestive system, respiratory system, skin, joints, genitourinary, circulatory, and nervous systems to the myriad of miscellaneous disorders like addictions, yeast, candidiasis, mold, fungus, CFS, eye disorders, pain disorders, autism, asthma and so many more.

This section's explanations are dotted with over 100 success stories to give the reader a pleasant break from the medical detail and also affords the reader a moment to reflect how patients have backed up Nambudripad's medical explanations in these chapters. Extraordinary, yummy stories from patient-volunteered testimonials, these are patients' tales about their NAET journeys and amazing successes. Stories of people having rid themselves of plaguing pains and illnesses and how NAET successfully eradicated health conditions like peanut anaphylaxis, allergy to shellfish, constant sciatic pain, food allergies, hives, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, colitis, lactose intolerance, hay fever, bronchitis, asthma, dust allergy, eczema, hair loss, arthritis, osteoarthritis, sports injury, psoriasis, lupus, bed wetting, allergy to dairy, PMS, sinus headaches, migraines, multiple sclerosis, insomnia, osteoporosis, diaper rash and so many more which all help the reader truly understand the miracle that is NAET.

YES you can eat anything you want again! You can eat dairy, gluten or peanuts and have pizza, cake or even shellfish, wine or coffee. The key of course is eradicating the allergies you have to the foods you love. You can learn to handle your allergies on the fly after a night out where you know you have sinned. Just keep a little of what it was you ate and self treat it! This book includes a tip to master self-testing.

This 500-page book includes information for the multiple chemical sensitive patient as well as vital nutritional advice to maintain good health.

The book "Say Good-Bye to Illness" makes living a fun and active life a real possibility again for so many of us, and it is an enjoyable read I highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars A FANTASTIC BOOK!, August 8, 2003

By 

karen (CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Say Good-Bye to Illness (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

A Fantastic Book!

First I was introduced to the book, "Say Good-bye to Your Allergies," by Dr. devi S. Nambudripad. That was an excellent book! Then I bought this book. This book is certainly surpassed the meaning of its title. It is indeed going to show you a way to Say Good-bye to your Illness, no matter what kind of illness you are suffering from. The NAET technique is definitely a revolutionary treatment to eliminate allergies, the cause of most human illnesses! The procedure is very simple and noninvasive and drug-free just the way it says on the cover of the book.

I suffered from severe food allergies since childhood. I was treated in Dr. Devi's office by Dr. Mala. After seven treatment, I was relieved from my usual devastating allergy symptoms. So I am a true believer in this treatment.

This book is full of true testimonials from Dr. Devi's patients who got well by treating with NAET. I was hesitant to begin this treatment when I found out about it. So, I talked to some ex-NAET patients before I went in for the treatment. Some of them were treated by Dr. Devi years ago and they are still remaining free of their allergies. That gave me courage to try NAET.

This book is well written, quite educational, easy to understand. There are some self-help tips very useful for the laymen to help with acute problems. In chapter 7 she has given the reader step-by-step instruction to test your own allergy using simple procedures. These testing techniques are very helpful. Everyone must learn them. These techniques can help you locate the cause of your allergic reactions easily in your privacy without going through expensive testing procedures. Once located you have two choices: you can avoid it or find an NAET practitioner to help you.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. This pertains to Say Good-bye to Illness, 3rd. edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book that saved my life, August 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Say Good-Bye to Illness (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

I am a patient suffering from allergies all my life and for the past 10 years they got much worse. I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis and finally lupus. The pain and suffering was unbearable, to the point where I thought I'd rather be dead than going through all the pain. Finally I found "NAET" read the book and with much happiness I can say I'm pain free! The book "Say Goodbye to Illness" gave me confidence I needed to go through the treatment. I can't believe it took me so long to find the cure to my problem. Thanks to Dr. Nambrudipad's Allergy Elimination technique, I'm a whole new person. I can't ever thank her for all she's done for me. She is giving me back my life and a good understanding of it too.
Finally, this comment is for a person who expressed a negative opinion about the book. It's not fair that you express your negativity with those comments on the web if you don't have the experience of going through the treatments yourself. I feel you discourage people that are suffering from pain and illness to look for another road to better health. Before you warn people on what to buy, you should first learn more and maybe some of those treatments may very well be helpful for all your bitterness.

God Bless,
Grace
