NAET OCT 2010: Fabreze
I had my October NAET treatment. My facilitator decided, after our initial conversation and her testing, to treat me for the allergen in Fabreze.
As with all NAET treatments there was the 25 hour avoidance period. But as she knew, with Fabreze, avoidance would just be part of my normal daily routine.
Fabreze is toxic waste!
Whether or not the NAET treatment was a ‘success’, is yet unknown. I am not too ready to ‘test it out’. Since being in the presence of Fabreze results in – at the minimum (see my post for 19 SEP for the latest incursion) of a 3 day period of extreme illness. I’m sure I’ll have an opportunity to test it soon.
I had a number of questions for my facilitator, which resulted from conversations on the MCS #1 Australia forum and a conversation with one of my wife’s cousins.
I wanted to know
- Is there a quick way to determine the integrity of a NAET facilitator by looking at their credentials?
- If my facilitator would consider offering training in her ‘method’.
- Is there a way to put her method into a training protocol?
- What is her knowledge and/or opinion of neuroplasticity – or neural pathway rehabilitation?
- How to satisfy the need of the MCS community?
- MOST IMPORTANT: Will ‘solutions’ that satisfy the trauma experienced by members of the MCS community, be a real benefit or end up as an excuse to keep dumping unhealthy chemical toxins into our fragile environment?
- Thus should we pursue such ‘solutions’ – or push for correction of the core problem: chemical production and distribution?
We had a very interesting exchange on these questions and topics.
I will cover each one in a specific Daily Gasp over the next couple of weeks. Because I treat what I write and post as useful information, I want to research all sides that I can before I release a comment.
Much of the information that will come from this study is what is driving me in the pursuit of answers and solutions. But my main objective is to educate public, commerce and science to the need for tighter controls on manufacture and distribution of chemicals of all types.
Companies have made billions of dollars off the development, manufacture and distribution of an unfathomable amount of chemicals over the last 150 years. Many have been directly responsible for the rapid advancement of human society, while at the same time responsible for our steady decline in health, security, safety and longevity.
Once again the old adage comes to mind: “Just because we can, does not mean we should”.
Until the next gasp…

I’m really interested in NAET treatment too. I tried it about six years ago but I was travelling too far and the number of things they wanted to treat me for meant it was costing me a fortune – I’m very very allergic to quite a few things. I’m not sure if it worked or not. I was treated for a number of different things, beginning with grass. I actually think my hayfever was pretty good this year so perhaps it did have an effect.

ruthholroyd…
I don’t know where you’re located or the nature of your NAET practitioner; some are definitely more able, capable and willing than others; but it sounds like you’re in a very familiar dilemma: too far and too expensive with no real obvious solution..
I’ve been associated (as a client only) with NAET since May 2006. However, my ‘NAETucation’ began long before that: 6 months earlier. I personally interviewed over 200 NAET clients and 45 practitioners – literally all over the world. I was skeptical at first … only because I have been very familiar with many of the ‘tools’ used in the NAET process. What I was not aware of was the abilities of a truly ‘in-tune’ practitioner. Literally and figuratively, it’s the difference between turning the key over on an engine with or without fuel in the tank!
So, I know the frustration of those who truly NEED the facilitation of a genuine practitioner. I am frustrated that there just isn’t a way to bring to the need the number of qualified, dedicated and holistically honest people to study, practice and facilitate the NAET process.
The cost is high, only because -for most of us- we are used to not ‘seeing or feeling’ the true costs of healthcare. Folks who complain about subsidized healthcare have simply NOT realized that the insurance – carried by most people who work for companies who provide healthcare packages or are able to garner such benefits from ‘groups’ – is actually a subsidized healthcare.
We grumble and complain about the high cost of our insurance fees being pulled from our paychecks or requiring our direct payment. But how much louder would our cry be IF we had to bear the full cost of that trip to the doctor..? Our argument is simple, “That’s why we buy insurance!” And none one gets an argument from me. I do it, too. But that still doesn’t negate reality: health insurance is a subsidy!
Thus, when we are faced with paying for a healthcare provision that is NOT covered by our insurance – we either scream loudly .. or scream loudly and NOT take the treatment. I would love to see unconventional treatments like NAET being covered by our insurance just like the pharmaceutical, surgical and other clinical elements of the traditional ‘western’ medical community enjoy.
But that isn’t likely to happen anytime soon. At least not on a large scale. So until that time – reality says a lot of people who need the treatments will remain prisoners of their allergies.
I certainly wish I could offer you a better outlook.
My wife’s cousin (female) and I talked recently on the phone. She told me about her condition she’s been struggling with for years – a form of MCS: fibromyalgia compounded by a number of protein allergies. It’s truly a nightmare story. I told her what NAET had done for me. She lives in the Chicago, IL area and as I looked on the NAET site for available practitioners, I was – as they say in Australia – Gobsmacked!!
She lives in the uppermost north of Chicago, just minutes from the Wisconsin border. So she is not in the ‘heart of ChiTown’ at all. Yet, there were 12 NAET practitioners within and hour drive of her. 8 of them within 20 minutes; 3 of them under 12 minutes. Amazing.
The closest NAET practitioner to me – 110 miles south of Chicago – is a 1hour Interstate drive. My practitioner is a 2 hour drive; one way. I make the drive monthly. And we bare 100% of the cost. And due to the extent of the MCS damage on my system – I’m not able to hold a ‘regular job’ and must rely on what I can do from the computer-based operation here at home. It would be a fine gig, except I never know when I will take dip south-of-human from a FRAG; I’m cleared – but not out of the woods yet. So, it is really difficult to hold onto a client base. Even harder to keep them from running once the ‘word’ gets out.
Life can be quite a challenge. But hei… no one promised me a rose garden. Just the opportunity to ‘smell the roses and watch out for the thorns’. Eh? “. )
Best of success. Keep reading YOSAKIME. I’m working on several projects I hope MAY pull down completely or at least seriously lower many of the hurdles to access to NAET treatment.
