Are You Sick Of Being Sick?Tell me if this has ever happened to you, someone you know or your child: Life is going great and then one day you or your child begins to feel bad. For example, eating certain foods may cause stomach pain, gas, or bloating. Or maybe your nose begins to drip constantly or becomes totally stuffed up. Maybe you suddenly have rashes or itching. Or maybe, you begin experiencing pain in your muscles, joints or soreness you can't explain. Naturally, you grow worrisome of your health and see your Doctor, who advises you to take over the counter medication or writes you a prescription. You are faithful to your Doctor's request for several days, as your condition(s) either improve, or remain the same. Let's say they do get better, now you feel confident enough to stop the drugs but then, your symptoms come back. Again, you find yourself in your doctor's office who refers you to a specialist. They do the usual routine; blood tests, urine, and maybe an X-Ray or CT scan. And guess what? All tests come back normal! You find yourself confused and thinking to yourself "hmm, maybe it's just me". How many times have you heard this story? If I had a penny for each time I heard it, I'd be filthy rich! Well, let me reassure you, you are not going crazy!! The problem is that many Doctors are missing pieces of the puzzle and those missing pieces are allergies. Unfortunately, allergies are considered to be insignificant and tend to be taken for granted by many who are either misinformed or completely unaware of the damage they may potentially cause. When your immune system makes a mistake allergies can occur. If your immune system is working properly it protects you from germs and disease. By producing antibodies that help you fight off bacteria, viruses, and other micro-organisms and disease. But if you have an allergy, your immune system mistakenly treats something as if it's really dangerous to you. This reaction happens with medicine (like penicillin), pollen (from flowers and trees), or a food (like peanuts). So the thing itself isn't harmful, but the way your own body reacts to it is. Many Americans (128 million people) suffer from various health problems caused by allergies not yet known to them, NAET will come as an astonishing surprise.
