A 3-year-old girl suffered from food allergy since she had a respiratory syncytial virus infection at the age of 6 months. She was intolerant to milk, sugar, egg white, pork meat, and a few other foods. This was established by elimination-challenge tests. Ingestions of these foods caused eczema on the upper back after 48 hours, followed by snivelling, coughing and eventually dyspnoea. The child used Ventolin when the dyspnoea was severe.

In June 2005, one month before she turned 4, she was treated with Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimnation Technique (NAET) http://www.naet.com[3]. NAET consists of a combination of kinesiology and accupressure. Kinesiology (also called Muscle Response Testing) was used to diagnose the allergies. Subsequently, acupressure (stimulating specific points on the acupuncture meridians) was applied while the child was in contact with the allergen. After each treatment the child had to refrain from contact with the allergen for 24 hours. One allergy was treated at each treatment session. After 7 treatment sessions (within a period of 4 weeks), the intolerable foods were reintroduced one by one. No adverse reactions were observed. After two months, the child was able to eat everything without symptoms. Six months later, she had a relapse after the introduction of new toothpaste, and developed eczema again after milk consumption. She was treated with NAET for titanium dioxide (a whitener, included in toothpastes) and again for milk. After three treatment sessions all adverse reactions were eliminated. After 3 years, in June 2008, she can still eat everything and is free of symptoms.
