From a Western medical point of view, an allergy is an overreaction of the immune system. NAET views allergies from a holistic perspective based on Oriental medical principles and defined in terms of the effect an allergic or negative substance has on the energy flow of the body. If a substance has had a negative effect on the body previously, the brain remembers that substance as a negative energy. This substance for whatever reason causes a blockage in one of the energy pathways, thereby causing a disturbance in the body’s normal flow and balance. The result of energy imbalances on the body leads to a diminished state of health in one or more organ systems.

When the energy imbalances remain within the body, the brain signals the body about possible dangers through illness, pain, inflammation, headaches, fever, heart attacks, strokes, abnormal growth, tumors, and various physical, physiological, and psychological discomforts. Symptoms do not appear until the blockage has been ongoing for some time. Some people are unaware of these symptoms. Many view them as a nuisance. Others have symptoms severe enough to severely restrict their everyday lives.

NAET allows the body to reprogram the brain, remove the energy disturbances, and regain balance or homeostasis. The treatment involves applying light pressure along both sides of the spinal column, to stimulate specific acupuncture points associated with individual body organs.
