Quantum Reflex Analysis
After listening to Dr. Marshall's radio show for weeks, I called the help/order line, found a practitioner in my area, and have been going to her for about a month and a half. From testing, I have discovered that I...

NAET Hasn't Helped Enough
Well, it has been awhile. Shawna, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. You asked if I had had success with NAET. A few months ago I think I would have said yes, but lately I think my...

Doctor Follow-Up
Had my follow-up with my doctor. Not much new. I took in the blood pressure record I had been keeping at home. It's consistently low at home and pretty normal in his office. His nurse took it and it was...

Mitral Valve Prolapse and Hypotension
I had a dental appointment today and was talking to the doctor about my blood pressure. I knew she also had mitral valve prolapse because we have had discussions about the need to take antibiotics before cleanings. But she said,...

Amoxicillin for Bronchitis
I had the follow-up with my doctor yesterday. The blood tests were fine, so I'm under orders to up my water intake, up the salt, put back the magnesium, check and record my blood pressure 2-3 times a day and...

White Coat Syndrome
Just back from my doctor visit. He was concerned about the low blood pressure. I tried to explain everything I thought was causing it. My blood pressure in his office was 120/65. It's always OK or a little high at...

Low Blood Volume
There is a great article on this site about mitral valve prolapse that talks about low blood volume. I realized that I'm not drinking enough water. People with MVP sometimes aren't thirsty and consequently don't drink what they should. And...

Symptoms of MVP and Dysautonomia
Blood pressure is still low. I dug out my book on mitral valve prolapse and started reading it again. I have talked about it before. It's called The Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome/Dysautonomia Survival Guide. Check out my post on 6/29/04...

Low Blood Pressure
My husband suggested I take my blood pressure because I'm so tired. We've had a machine for about two years. So I got it out, took my pressure and it was 85 over 53! I freaked out and started Googling...

Bronchial Infection
Can hardly believe it's been over a month since I wrote. I'm still battling this chest thing. I don't think the Zithromax wiped it out because I still have "stuff" there. And I'm soooooooooo tired. Really don't know what's going...

Z-Pak Again
Good news from the eye doctor, the one that sent me a bill after leaving me with dilated eyes for twelve days. I finally called the office and said I just had a problem paying for the privilege of being...

Soap for Leg Cramps
My husband suffers from leg cramps. We have checked it out with the doctor and tried different nutritional remedies but nothing worked. One night at dinner with friends he was saying that he had been up most of the night...

Happy 2006!
Happy New Year to all! I hope we all have a healthy and happy one!...

Merry Christmas!
Not too much new here. Lisa has moved her practice 45 minutes away so it's harder for me to get there. I saw her on Wednesday and we tested a lot of things I had been collecting. Most were fine....

A Living Will
This gave me a good laugh to start the day! A man and his wife were sitting in the living room and he said to her, "Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent...

NAET in the News
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Ours was nice and quiet and relaxing. Now I almost have all the Christmas decorating done. I'm actually pretty organized this year. Just read an interesting news article on NAET. Seems that more and...

Chest Injury
I'm beginning to feel like I have a little black cloud following me around. I finished the antibiotics for the bronchitis and was just about back to normal with the dilated eyes. Then I fell coming down the stairs. I...

Dangers of Flu Shots
I don't ever get a flu shot anymore. I had a couple about 20 years ago and I'm sorry I did. I thought the only problem was the mercury in them but someone mentioned to me that they also have...

Atropine--Day Nine
I was trying to read something last night and got really frustrated. Everything is still just a little off. The funny thing is I can see things at arm's length and can do things like the computer, but can't do...

Atropine Eye Drops by Mistake
I went for my appointment with the retina specialist. Had a very thorough exam by a very nice (I thought at the time) doctor. He took lots of photos for a baseline. The macular pucker in the long term may...

Chronic Bronchitis Treatment
I've been taking a break from NAET treaments for a few weeks now. I'm just finishing another round of antibiotics for chronic bronchitis...ten days of amoxicillin. I tried every natural thing I could think of to try and avoid it...

Formaldehyde in Wrinkle-Free Shirts
I talked about testing non-iron shirts in a previous post. I have to wash them first or I have a reaction. After doing some more research on these shirts I have become more and more concerned. Apparently one washing only...

NAET for Allergies
I cleared DDT on the BioMeridian machine today. I thought we had tested DDT a long time ago when we did all the chemicals, but I didn't have it on my list. The field dirt and the outside air sample...

Fluoride Allergy
I cleared fluoride last week. I have known for quite a while that it was bad but I was avoiding it and thought that was good enough. I don't do fluoride rinses at the dentist, I drink bottled water, and...

Macular Pucker or Eye Cellophaning
Well I went for my eye exam. I told the doctor I had cleared the proparacaine and he said he didn't have to use it. They use that for the anesthetic when they do the glaucoma test. He did it...

Proventil Inhaler
This seems to be go to doctor month. Today was back to my primary doctor to figure out what to do about the asthma. I have about given up on natural supplements for lungs curing this although I am still...

Hurricane Katrina Disaster
Finished writing the last post and turned on the T.V. again to see the latest on the rescue efforts in New Orleans. It is so unbelievably bad. My heart and prayers go out to all the people there and in...

Wool Allergy
I tried on a coat last week. Didn't like it and took it off. Then I started with the horrible symptoms...running nose etc. Looked at the label. It was wool and cashmere blend. It got so bad that I actually...

Just Organic Tomatoes
Thanks to the Eat This blog I've discovered something fabulous! The post on Aug 6th on dried vegetables (and fruit) talked about a company called Just Tomatoes. I found some of them at a store near us and they were...

Non-Iron Shirt Allergy
I'm starting to feel better so I'm hoping the new approach I'm taking is working. I'm going to give it a week or two and then will report. The visit with Lisa went well. It had been three weeks since...

Asthma and Allergies
Well I finished the 5 day course of penicillin (Z-Pak) and I'm not any better. So I guess I didn't have an infection after all. Guess I have to face it that the main problem must be asthma. It's just...

Bronchitis
I've been taking a NAET break for a few weeks and coping with another round of bronchitis. I always think I can get rid of it myself but once again I gave up and went to the doctor for antibiotics....

What is NAET?
Here is another great explanation of NAET. "NAET is a safe and effective technique in detecting and eliminating or desensitizing all types of allergies. NAET combines Kinesiology (Muscle Responsive Testing), Chiropractic and Oriental Medicine to clear allergic reactions through a...

NAET Journal
I just got a message on one of my posts and just want to echo the importance of it for anyone considering or doing NAET. "Keep the record of what you did with whom for later reference. I cannot remember...

BioMeridian MSAS Video
I went to the BioMeridian site to see if there was anything new and there's a video you can watch now. So if you are interested in this check it out and you can see a little bit of how...

First mayonnaise, now salad dressing. Maybe I should turn this into a recipe blog! LOL My grandmother passed this recipe to my mother and she passed it to me. I have been using it forever as a regular salad dressing...

Homemade Mayonnaise
I've been working with Lisa on phenolics allergies. I can't really explain it well so here is a site that talks about it. "Over the last decade, important breakthroughs have occurred in the identification and treatment of allergies. Dr. Robert...

Stress Echo
I went this morning to a heart specialist for a stress echocardiagram. I had an irregular EKG at the doctor's last week and my total cholesterol was high,--231, up from 220. But all my other numbers were better, and the...

The Machinist
We just watched The Machinist with Christian Bale. He was so thin in this movie it was totally shocking! Apparently he lost sixty pounds to play this part and although I thought the movie was really wonderful, I just can't...

Fluorescent Light
We tested some things on Wednesday, among them fluorescent lighting which I was sensitive to. I have a little fluorescent light right in front of my eyes when I'm on the computer. We put them in as under cabinet kitchen...

NAET for DPT Shots and Mumps
Monday I cleared DPT shots and Mumps. As I mentioned before, all the other vaccinations tested O.K. They didn't have a shot for the mumps when I was young.....I got the mumps. I'll never forget waking up with the swollen...

NAET
It's been almost a month since I posted. I had to buy a new computer after mine became infected. The bank called and informed me they had two credit card charges that looked suspicious...totaling $22,000!! I think I clicked on...

Cantaloupe for Dessert!
I cleared Melon Mix, caffeine, and red and white wine on Wednesday. A funny combination to do together but it tested as O.K. to do. Did it the regular way so had to avoid for 25 hours, but that was...

Meat, Caffeine and Fluoride Allergy
Barometric pressure didn't clear in combination so I had to do it again. Six minutes on the machine. I had a feeling it might not have cleared because the rain was coming and I felt terrible. Trust your instincts. We...

Fossil Fuels Allergy
I told Lisa yesterday that I needed to work on getting my lungs better. The asthma was terrible and I just couldn't take a deep breath. Turns out she has an asthma vial and thought we had tested that. I...

Oxalic Acid Clearing
I cleared oxalic acid on the machine Wednesday. I had been putting it off because I didn't want to avoid for 25 hours. You can't eat much if you have to avoid that way. I really wanted to clear this...

Biomeridian MSAS
I forgot to test the hairspray when I went last week but I'm pretty sure it's O.K. I'll check it when I go in tomorrow. Lisa and I got caught up in talking about the new machine, the MSAS, and...

I'm Not Sylvia Browne!
For some reason I have gotten comments on my Sylvia Browne post that indicate people think they can ask Sylvia a question there. I just want to say that if you want to get in touch with her you can...

Hairspray Allergy
I've been doing a few emotional clearings and I have some advice if you are going to do these with NAET. Concentrate on one event at a time. For example, I did a clearing for fear and anxiety and instead...

NAET Emotional Clearings
Back in town and back to the NAET clearings. After doing some research and a lot of reflection I have decided to concentrate on some emotional clearings for awhile. There are a lot of things in my past that still...

NAET for Air Conditioning
It's been about two weeks since I posted. Lisa was on vacation so I had a break until today. I have to say it was very strange not going for two weeks. It had really become the focus of my...

Hair Dye Allergy
Yes! Yes! Yes! I cleared all the heavy metals! A huge relief! I tested all four Mixes plus the things we threw in like a battery, paperclip, pencil lead, aluminum foil and the razorblade. (The armpit itching is not completely...

Insomnia from Caffeine
Well, it finally happened again. They slipped me real coffee instead of decaf! I got a clue because both my husband and I were trying to go to sleep last night and ended up awake 'til two o'clock. I'm usually...

Heavy Metal Allergies
Well, it wasn't 25 hours, it was 35 hours of hell! I absolutely can never do this one again and am scared to death I may have to because I screwed up 3 times! After retesting the total hours went...

NAET Testing
Thank goodness "wind" is over! The clearing was fine. We tested all of what I call the "weather". Cold, dryness, and high altitude were fine. Humidity, cold mist, dampness, heat, heating, air conditioning, and changes in barometric pressure were not....

Heavy Metal Exposure and Childhood Vaccinations
I was doing some research on heavy metals this morning. Since I have a problem with mercury (cleared), lead, nickel, and aluminum I wanted to see what I could find. I came across a site with all kinds of good...

Plant Allergies
I tested all the plants around me yesterday. In addition to the ficus (we have one large and 3 small in the house, a fern was also bad. Outside on the walkway and the deck the jasmine (a lot of...

Aluminum and Nickel Allergy
Hmmmmmmmmm! Allergic to money! LOL! Everyone got a good laugh out of that! Actually allergic to nickel, aluminum, lead (50%), and slightly to cadmium. A lot of metals have nickel in them. It turns out I was about 50% right...

Muscle Testing
Still can't get a good reading. What on earth is going on? I wonder if it could have something to do with the treatment? I was able to test the whole time I was clearing for the vinegar. And as...

Pendulum Testing for Allergies
The neurotransmitters and noradrenaline cleared fine this time. I had read in Devi's book, (Say Good-Bye to Illness), that sensitive people can react to different physical agents like heat, humidity, cold, cold mist, dampness, drafts, dryness, heating and air conditioning,...

Food Sensitivities
There is an interesting article in the Allergy News section on holiday food. It talks about food allergies and food sensitivities. "Food allergies differ from mere food sensitivities, says Dr. Richard L. Wasserman, director of pediatric allergy and immunological studies...

Does NAET Work?
Because I had tested badly for the bandaid, I decided to try an experiment before I cleared what I thought would be adhesives. I put a bandaid on my stomach for 2 days so I could see the red rash...

Mercury Allergy
I tested clear for mold on Wednesday. We had to cancel the appointment for my husband due to a family emergency. Hopefully we can reschedule that next week. I took in a bunch of samples like detergents, cleansers, moisturizers, etc....

Fog from DDT Trucks
My husband used to play with his friends in the "fog" from DDT trucks in the 1950's. Apparently this was a pretty common thing for kids to do then. The trucks would come by once a week when he lived...

NAET for Mold
I drove home with a mask on Monday! How does Michael Jackson do that?? I felt completely ridiculous and conspicuous! But I treated for mold and that was the only way to do it. As soon as I got home...

Latex Allergy
I tested clear for the food additves, etc. on Wednesday. I did some research to see what connections there were to the paraffin so I could check before I clear that. Paraffin is made from gasoline wastes. There is a...

Dangers of Paraffin Candles
I cleared the penicillin and so far thankfully do not have to take it. I think the bronchitis is a little better. Right now I'm clearing food additives, food coloring, and artificial sweeteners (along with MSG, modified food starch, Whiten-All,...

Cherry Juice for Gout, Fibromyalgia, and Arthritis
My husband arrived home from a business trip today with an interesting story from a fellow traveler. It turns out his wife has fibromyalgia and is getting amazing results from drinking cherry juice! I did a search and there a...

Mold Allergy
I cleared the H. Pylori and then treated for penicillin on Wednesday. I only had to do it for 25 hours and now if I have to take it for this bronchitis and when I take it for the dental...

Cupping Therapy
My husband and I were treated for H. Pylori yesterday and just have to do it for 25 hours. It's so great not to have to do a clearing that involves food! I think he enjoyed his first acupuncture treatment...

NAET Testimonials
We had a very nice relaxing Christmas. I caught a cold which is still hanging on but it hasn't been too bad. My next appointment is tomorrow. Both my husband and I are going in to clear H. Pylori. Just...

Naet Treatment Holding
Checked my treatment this morning to see if I had ruined it with the mustard. It was still fine so I just have to finish the 50 hours. Found a great article on NAET here. Check it out if you're...

Perfume and Alcohol Allergy
Everything went well. I cleared the floor and chemicals!!!!!!! The irony has finally hit me though. We put in a wood floor instead of carpet because it would be better for my allergies! Tested a few other things. Potatoes, the...

NAET Clearing
So much for my plans. Had dinner and then hit the bed at 8:30. Sooooooooooooooo tired! This clearing is really getting to me. I slept for 11 hours. Got up at 7:30 and then went back to bed from 8:30...

Cat Allergy
Well, here we are in the motel to clear the wood floor and chemicals. My wonderful husband has helped me get everything set up to avoid chemicals in here and we have computer access for both of us. I'm tired...

Pesticides Allergy
I cleared pesticides and we checked a lot of other things. Fabric Mix, nylon, cotton, plastics, radiation, turkey and formaldehyde were fine. Food coloring, food additives, chemicals and alcohol were not O.K. I don't drink anything alcoholic because it affects...

Corn Allergy Cleared
I was strong when tested for corn on Monday. Thank goodness! We also tested a lot of vitamins and they were all O.K. Because it was raining I couldn't treat for mold and penicillin. So we treated pesticides, and I...

Perfume Allergy
I passed all the spices yesterday, including the tomato sauce finally. That was the one I had tried to clear separately and couldn't. Guess it was the spices in it. Checked two samples of the field dirt and they were...

Allergic to Spices
Lisa said the organic turkey should not have been tough! We must have just gotten a bad one. I'm still not sure I would want to give it another try though! I am clearing the two Spice Mixes today...have to...

JMT Jaffe-Mellor Technique
I posted a message on a board asking if anyone had had success with NAET and received the following message: "We've had great success with JMT (a newer version of NAET). My daughter had so many food allergies, I was...

Organic Turkey
I have to say that if you ever consider buying an organic turkey...think long and hard....and then think again! Maybe we just got a bad brand but it was like shoe leather! And we didn't overcook it either. So if...

Mold Problem
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I have a little time while the turkey is cooking so thought I would do a quick post. Had another visit with Lisa on Monday. I cleared everything we did with an added bonus of dust. That...

New NAET Practitioner
Doctor's visit was a quick in and out with another penicillin prescription. Next time, (I hope there won't be one any time soon), I should go in sooner. He was hassled. A lot of sick people and a person on...

NAET Experience
Still no phone call from Christina and I am becoming more and more irritated. I think it takes a lot of nerve to leave a patient in the state she left me and then not follow up. I called and...

Witnessed the Power of Acupuncture
I have been in a little bit of shock for the last two days...trying to figure out what happened at my appointment Friday. I should start by saying that I have been feeling steadily worse for the last couple of...

Pass the Shrimp!
I passed the Shellfish Mix and the shrimp Monday! We tested a few other things. Yeast was still O.K. That still amazes me! I wanted to test for ink, newspaper etc. because I thought it might be causing a big...

Yeast is Clear
My test for yeast came back today absolutely clear. Not a trace of yeast. So much for the yeast theory!! We're going to retest it next week to make sure it is still clear. I passed the Fish Mix, but...

Fish Allergy
I passed the Citrus Mix on Monday. I know I still need to pass some other derivatives of C, but I just wasn't up to that diet again so soon so we went to the Fish Mix and Shellfix Mix...

Buffalo Meat and Pasta
Not too much to report. Yesterday I passed the soy so we went on to the Citrus Mix. Hopefully passing that will help with the other C derivatives. Not a good diet though because you still have to avoid all...

Allergy News
There is an interesting article on the growing concern of allergies in the classroom on the Allergy News on this site. It states that "more than 11 million Americans have food allergies and approximately three million children under the age...

I Want Tomato Sauce
Surprise, surprise! I flunked the tomato sauce. I sure wasn't expecting that. Christina was surprised too, so she tested some other related things like ascorbic acid, Citrus Mix and acerola, and I also flunked those. So it looks like even...

Making Progress
I had my appointment yesterday afternoon. We had a long discussion on the yeast problem, how I was feeling, etc. When she tests she tests your strength without an allergen in your hand first. Yesterday I was a little weak...

Systemic Yeast
I took some more of my own samples in yesterday. Tested O.K. to mushrooms this time, and flunked apples! (Good grief...I eat one or two a day!) Rice and corn were also O.K. Even though we still haven't gone back...

Sylvia Brown
Let's see...where should I start? I went to my appointment yesterday and took a few of my own samples with me to test before we retested the Grain Mix. I'm trying to find out some foods that are O.K. to...

Failed the Grain Mix
I had a really bad 25 hours doing the Grain Mix. By the next day it was almost like I had the flu, and then at the end I gradually started feeling better. Christina says that is not unusual for...

Allergic to Grains
O.K. You probably can't see why it would be very exciting to find out you're allergic to something, but trust me, I just got back from my appointment and am very excited from the things I learned. I passed Biotin,...

Biotin Allergy
I passed the A's and the B's yesterday, so I guess picking up the bowl of chicken wasn't a deal breaker. Then you test all of the B vitamins separately and I passed everything but the biotin. Biotin is actually...

B Vitamins and Anxiety?
Had a bad day. Maybe there is a connection between the B's and the anxiety disorder. Have just felt terrible the whole time. I made it until 3:00 with hardly any food. Nothing today 'til 3:00 and just some pasta...

Vitamin C, Sugar, Iron
The Vitamin C Mix was clear today!!! I'm relieved because I didn't want to do that one again. So on to Sugar Mix. (cane sugar, beet sugar, brown sugar, corn sugar, honey, maple sugar, molasses, fructose, glucose, sucrose, lactose, dextrose,...

No More Advair!
Monday's appointment went as I expected. She did the testing for Vit. C again and sure enough, I was still allergic. I guess after what I did I couldn't really expect anything else. And she said sometimes with the "big"...

Calcium Pills - oops!
I went for my second appointment yesterday at 1:30. After some discussion about how to proceed it was decided to do a combination of NAET and acupuncture. Unfortunately it's not covered by my insurance. The first thing she did was...

First NAET Appointment
Had my consultation Monday. The person I talked to was named Christina and she has an M.S in Traditional Oriental Medicine, with lots of other credentials that I won't list. We talked about my allergies etc., and she thought it...

Acupuncture?
Over the years I've tried just about everything. In addition to the shots there were the pills, both prescription and over the counter. I've also tried a lot of "natural" remedies including supplements and the "honey cure"...the one where you...

Thimerosol
The allergies pretty much took a backseat to the quest for the anxiety disorder diagnosis. I did go to a dermatologist and he did some skin testing on my back. I ended up with one huge welt...allergic to thimerosol, ie....

Rubberbands and Allergies
It's been quite a while since I posted here. Things have been going pretty well on the panic front, but I have been having terrible allergy problems. I'll write more on that in a minute, but on the panic side...

Echocardiogram and MVPS
I appreciate your comments Linda. It is truly amazing that your doctors didn't order an echocardiagram after hearing your symptoms even if they couldn't hear anything! It shouldn't have taken so long. I had no problem getting the mitral valve...

Understanding Panic Disorder
O.K. Let's face it. The majority of people out there are never going to understand panic disorder. The problem is most of us usually look just fine. So what could possibly be wrong? I started thinking about this again because...

Dysautonomia
Received the book, and have been slowly reading through it. It is similar to the one I got at Mayo and it has been good to go through and review everything. It has reminded me to do things like keep...

Lyn Frederickson
After writing this diary I decided to do some internet searching and see if there was anything new on panic and mitral valve prolapse. The book I talked about reading at Mayo Clinic was called Confronting Mitral Valve Prolapse by...

Ronald Reagan
I spent the day watching Ronald Reagan's funeral..... and crying. Actually I spent the week crying and watching all of the ceremonies. And it's only Wednesday! Two more days to go. I can't seem to not watch and it seems...

Some Background
Hopefully this story will help some of you out there who don't know what on earth could be happening to you. Mine has been a 19 year journey--ten years just to diagnose. I would like to think that anyone starting...
