Copper went in to a NAET specialists today to get tested and treated for any food allergies that she may have. I've been off of dairy, nuts, fish, soy, and whey for about 2.5 weeks now and we've seen some changes in her already. She is pooping way less often and there have even been a few yellow dooks in the mix. She doesn't seem quite as fussy and it's rare that she has her little fits of rage followed by an explosion in her diaper. I won't even try to explain how the NAET treatment works, but here's a link for the lady that we saw that "explains" it. If it weren't for Lucy's success with the treatment I wouldn't even believe that it would work. Here's a summary of what we did today...I laid down on a table with Copper laying on her back on top of me. I touched her leg with my right hand and held vials of different allergens found in foods (in some sort of liquid form) against her skin. With my left arm in the air and hand rotated outward, the specialist would try to push my arm forward while I tried pushing her back. If the body shows signs of allergies, the muscles will be weaker. It was pretty obvious when Copper/I reacted to something because I could feel that I couldn't push as hard. Copper has a minor allergy to some stuff in dairy (casein and a couple other things I can't remember) and a very minor allergy to wheat. We did the testing portion for quite a while and vent through a lot of vials. She also tested my breastmilk, both pre food elimination milk and current milk, but Copper didn't show a reaction to either. Her allergies are very mild, but enough to give her problems. Today Copper was treated for the dairy allergies. For the first part of the treatment I sat up with Copper in my lap. I held a glass jar against her leg and the specialist would place different vials in to it while I received acupressure treatment along my spine while doing different breathing techniques and then she would do acupressure along Copper's spine. (She didn't have to do the breathing techniques though.) After that the vials were placed in her socks for about 15 minutes. I have to stay off of dairy for about 25 hours and then can start eating it again. She advised against having pizza with milk followed by ice cream and suggested that I start out with a glass of milk with dinner. Then it's a waiting game to see if Copper continues to get better while I've brought dairy back into my diet or if she gets worse or stays the same. In that case we will go back and do a more in depth dairy treatment or treat her wheat allergy. I'm hoping that this treatment took care of everything since her allergies were so minor. With NAET the allergies are eliminated, not just discovered and lived with. Even though our insurance does not cover this kind of treatment, it only cost $85 for the first session. If we need to go back it will cost $60 a session. Works for me.
