Clinical Trial: Milk ALLERGY ELIMINATION THROUGH NAET® (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques).
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: The Effectiveness of Milk Allergy Elimination Through NAET Treatments
Brief Summary:
We sought to determine the efficacy of NAET® in permanently eliminating milk allergy for a sample of patients.
We hypothesize that the subjects in the experimental group will show similar level of allergies and sensitivities initially on all nine diagnostic measures used here. After receiving the NAET treatments, the Experimental group will demonstrate a significant reduction in the milk sensitivities and allergies when compared to the control group at the final evaluation using same diagnostic measures.
Detailed Summary:
Background: Although several standard clinical techniques are used to detect and treat common allergic conditions, each one is limited in scope and requires to follow repeated treatment protocols. The non-invasive system known as NAET® does not generally have such limitations and has over the last twenty-three years been demonstrated to be effective clinically in thousands of cases. NAET® is a natural treatment that utilizes standard medical diagnostic measures along with kinesiolgocal, chiropractic and oriental testing, procedures to identify the allergens, as well as the intensity of reactions to the allergens which vary from individual to individual. Treatment consists of a sequence of spinal manipulations at specific thoracic and lumbar spinal levels along with acupuncture acupressure on configurations of standard acupuncture points.
Methods: In a double blind study, 26 patients with diagnosed milk allergy (13 males, 13 females, age range between 18-65 years) were randomly assigned to 2 groups:
- NAET®/Experimental group, and
- Placebo/control group The study was conducted by 12 volunteer-clinicians from NAET Research associates, divided into six investigator groups. Each group conducted a designated sequential part of the study independently from all other groups, that is, was blinded from all other groups for the duration of the study. Subjects from both groups (Experimental and Control) were evaluated immediatedly before treatment and eight weeks thereafter using the following nine diagnostic measures: Subjective history (Allergy Symptom Rating Scale or ASRS); ALCAT Test; antibodies to milk protein in the blood serum by Immunoglobulins G, Immunoglobulins A, Immuno-globulins M, and Immunoglobulins E (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE) by Elisa method (enz

Current Primary Outcome: Reduction of Milk allergies
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome: This study also evaluated the reliability of performing two testing procedures (NST & PDRS) by two independent examiners in testing the subjects for milk at two different times.
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
