The acronym NAET most commonly refers to Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques, a complementary health approach for allergies

Have you been feeling hopeless as your child struggles with autism? Been told by your physician that there is nothing that you can do, or been trying to sort through dozens of cures on the Internet? As a parent, trying to help an autistic child can be a difficult and scary struggle. The good news? There is now help and hope. New research suggests that it is time to say goodbye to autism!

Treating Autism with NAET
"Improving Communication Skills in Children With Allergy-related Autism Using Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques: A Pilot Study" was recently published in Integrative Medicine — A Clinician's Journal. Funded by The Teitelbaum Family Foundation and involving 60 autistic children, the study shows the efficacy of NAET as a treatment for autism.

Study Abstract — NAET Effective for Autism
Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D.1, Devi S. Nambudripad, M.D., Ph.D., D.C., L.Ac.2, Yvonne Tyson, M.D.3, Ming Chen, M.D.4, Robert Prince, M.D.5, Mala M. Moosad, R.N., L.Ac., Ph.D.6, Laurie Teitelbaum M.S.7 This study has been published in Integrative Medicine Vol. 10, No. 5 Oct/Nov 2011 issue.

Background
Autism prevalence increased by over 50% between 2002 and 2006. We hypothesized that major contributors to the development and symptoms of autism include food and nutrient sensitivities. Desensitization to multiple allergens forms the basis of the NAET treatment for autism.

Methods
Subjects & Intervention: Sixty children (2.5-10 years old) with a diagnosis of autism were randomly assigned to either the treatment or control groups. The treatment group consisted of 26 boys and 4 girls and the control group included 25 boys and 5 girls. The treatment group (30 children) received NAET treatments (combining acupressure and kinesiology) for 50 key allergens for 1 year. The children in the (non-blinded) control group did not receive any NAET treatments. Each group was allowed to continue with any other therapies they had been receiving. The NST (kinesiology/muscle testing) was used to determine which substances triggered sensitivity reactions in each child and NAET acupressure treatments were then used to eliminate the sensitivities.

NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques) wasn't specifically mentioned by parents as a top therapy they've tried or found effective.

When exploring different treatment options, many MyAutismTeam members recommend working closely with your doctor and trying approaches based on their recommendations and your goals. As one member shared, "Sometimes it's trial and error. We ended up finding a medication that worked, and we made lifestyle changes that helped as well."

If you're considering NAET, it may help to discuss it with your child's healthcare team and connect with other parents in your area who might have experience with it.
