NAET Avoidance Protocol

As part of each NAET treatment the patient is required to avoid the substance (allergen) that is being treated, for a period of 25 hrs post treatment.  In some cases there are few restrictions.  In other cases there are numerous restrictions and the patient should plan meals carefully checking product labels diligently.  Eating or handling foods and products that contain the treated allergen runs the risk of "losing" the treatment. 

The following information on the NAET BASIC Allergens should help in this regard:

1. Egg/chicken/feathers:  Avoid ingesting, handling or being near any food that contains egg or chicken.  Read all prepared food labels carefully to make sure that egg and chicken are not in the ingredients.  Make sure that feather pillows, duvets and comforters are not anywhere near the patient or the patient's sleeping area.  Avoid the drug tetracycline as this is a drug that is commonly given to chickens to prevent disease.
