NAET (Nambudripads Allergy Elimination Technique) and IgG testing

[Mom to M&M]

Yes, I've sent our ND a message this morning about the e-coli issue and will let you know what she says!

TBH, I'm really glad we had the IgG (and IgE) tests done. While he still reacts to a few things that didn't show on those tests, those reactions are much more minor and the tests helped confirm some reactions we had suspected (like dairy) and pointed out others we weren't even aware of (like the almonds). And it shows candida too, which is nice.

[Mom to M&M]

This is the message i just got back from the ND. Perhaps you can email/call your new doctor to ask them how it would be treated?  I'm DYING to know!

"I am not aware of any supplement that will give good ecoli. I have asked
this ? of the Genova stool testing lab and they verify there isn't anything.
I'd be interested to hear what she is using.   ( maybe PRE biotics? Which
feed the good bacteria? )  that's all I can think of."

[EloysH]

hmmmm   I will  do my best ot follow up if I can via email  .... otherwise I can try to follow up with my friend first she is due to see him in a week or so and has had the same test done, they will be analysing results...

[Mom to M&M]

Thank you so much - I'm anxious to hear since low good e-coli was one of our issues!

Just coming across this thread now... one of the ND's we saw suggested the IgG and we still aren't sure if we are going to do it.. (cost factor of course ) It would be to try and determine Ds2's sensitivities, but to do so - they would do the IgG for both Dh and I.  The hope would be in finding anything we are sensitive to, and then I can take those things away from my diet, as Ds2 is still exclusively BF.

The IgG for the 2 of us would be $500... the stool test, another $300.. It's getting pretty expensive, but I just don't know what else to do.

We are following the GAPS diet with very promising results, but things still aren't perfect and I know Ds2's little gut still needs a lot more healing.

I know for sure casein and all grains are out.

Still not sure about these tests, but I feel like I'm not exploring all my options until I've done them, kwim?

[EloysH]

Maybe give the diet some time too hun, it took us 6-8 weeks for Kai to stabilise on the RPAH diet when Ihe was EBF.  I would go for the stool test first, it is more scientific. I'll cetainly let you know if the IGG test is helpful for us, we will analyse the results in about 4 weeks though.

Karen, I have sent an email but he hasn't replied,  and I know he goes on holidays soon for a few weeks. I also asked my friend who is seeing this Dr and got the same stool tests for her son, but she doesn't know anything about that as they don't have results yet.  She sees him on September 20 th next and said she would ask for us.   I am thinking that you if you can find a Dr that specialises in Biomedical then they might be able to help with further interpreting the results of the stool sample test for good bacteria/bad bacteria balance?

Hi Eloise,

DS had an appointment yesterday with our NAET practitioner and I was asking loads of questions about my situation. As you know I have been discharged and I’m self-treating different painkillers under her supervision. I self-treated Paracetamol on Tuesdays and she checked it yesterday and I’m strong again for it. So the self-treatment worked!  

Anyway, I learned something very interesting yesterday and I want to share it with you as you were questioning about what happens if Kai comes up positive on his IgG test for things that he was already treated by NAET. I asked her:   ”Why do I need to self-treat all these painkillers even though I’m cured from my allergies to meds, as I have been detoxed from the meds that started all the reactions in 2007?”  She said that even though I have been treated I still need to be a bit conscious as my body still hold antibodies for those drugs for another 2 years. She said if I had a blood test done today I would still show antibodies for all the drugs I have reacted to, hence the need to self-treat Paracetamol , Ibuprofen etc… She thinks I might not react to the drugs I have been treated but just as  a safety measure I still should balance my gatepoints ( it only take 3 minutes each time I balance my gatepoints)  before and after taking any meds I have already treated.

I found that explanation really interesting as I didn’t know I would still have antibodies for another 2 years!   So perhaps it would be very useful if you could learn to balance Kai gatepoints as he still holds antibodies for everything he reacted to. Plus balancing gatepoints is very good for general health anyway What do you reckon?  

 Hope all is well

Hey Grants, that's very interesting!  My practitioner is still on vacation ..  It doesn't hurt to balance the gates and it shouldn't be hard to do for Kai.  Now I wonder if I shouldt do that before eating... Hmmm

[EloysH]

Thanks so much Grants.... will get back later 

[Grants]

Koe, I would think it’s a good idea for you to balance your gatepoints before and after eating. If you think about it it’s the same principle for me. I balance before and after taking meds that I have already been treated for. I think it is really worth it if it will avoid a reaction. Although your case it’s a bit more complicated as you might have a few allergens in each meal. It is def worth a try though. I use a stimulator so it only take a few minutes to do it.

Hope your back is better  

[EloysH]

I found that explanation really interesting as I didn’t know I would still have antibodies for another 2 years!  Shocked So perhaps it would be very useful if you could learn to balance Kai gatepoints as he still holds antibodies for everything he reacted to. Plus balancing gatepoints is very good for general health anyway Wink What do you reckon?

Yep I think this sounds promising     So I didn't get any time to learn how to self treat at the last appointment with the chiro-kineasiologist. She promised we will do it next time and I have booked a longer appoinment - last one was only 15 mins. She did found out yet another problem with Kais detoxification chains - a can't remember which chemical he's not making but he needs b12 to get it going.  Sigh.  Another freaking supplement.   She doesn't provide that particular supplement either so I have to go find the liquid form.

As you can tell I am weary.   

We got the IgG test done and he cried alot. Now the long wait for results. We also are sending the stool smaple off tomorrow so another 3 weeks wait for those results too.  An on Tuesday we get scratch tests for allergies.  I will be really ed if anything shows up as we have been working on the premise of food intolerances only since day dot.

I am not in the best mood today, sorry 

[Grants]

((((Hugs Eloise)))) it must be really hard to have to deal with all these allergies in someone so young. I hope you are feeling a bit more positive today. Please keep us posted on the tests' results plus the self-treatment. I'm self-treating Ibuprofen today. I will find out if it worked on Friday.  xxx

[Mom to M&M]

So many hugs from me too Eloise (and everyone). Have you found the liquid B12? I can get a rec from my ND if you need...

[koe2moe]

Adding hugs, Eloise.  You will get there!

[tigerlilly905]

Adding more ((hugs)) Eloise.

We decided to try the IgG for both DH and myself. Whether it helps with Ds2 or not, we are both still very curious of the results. We will be getting the tests from the ND later this week.

I know we can get B12 from the pharmacy, you just have to ask for it behind the counter. I couldn't imagine giving my little guy a B12 needle though.. ouch but if he needs it, it's probably the best way to get it in his system.
