First NAET session

Yesterday I’ve been to my first NAET session. Mainly what it does is to wipe your brain clean of the idea that certain harmless substances (f.e. pollen) cause harm. A person does that using acupressure to bring the body to react appropriately. The idea is that everything has an electromagnetic field (which is true) and it is a crash of those fields against mine that causes a bad reaction. So my field needs to be fixed.

Here’s a text from the website www.naet.com.

“NAET® is a unique method to balance blockages. Former patients lead once again a normal life. Particular diets don’t have to be taken into account anymore. 

Another key advantage: NAET® works without unpleasant blood or skin tests, injections or medication. The quest for the food and environmental sensitivity-triggering substances and right treatments is painless and harmless. The method is therefore suitable for treatment of both babies and young children.

NAET® has proved its effectiveness over the course of many years.  We see patients with hay fever and dairy intolerance to neurodermatitis induced food and environmental sensitivities, migraines and hyperactivity. Results prove over and over again how well NAET® works.”

==============================================================

So far so good. It started with a long conversation about myself and my allergies / food intolerances. She explained NAET to me and told me what she was going to to. I don’t know why, but I was pretty nervous.

I was on my back on a massage table, fully clothed except for glasses and shoes (and iPhone). My therapist would ask me to hold my arm up in the air, thumb pointing to my feet and withstand her push. With the other hand she would hold over my various body parts. When she came to a weak region I couldn’t hold my arm up.

Then she gave me a glass vial with allergens in it. The vibes of the stuff in the vial would influence my body now and we started the arm-pushing game all over again.

This went on for some time and it turns out that I am weak in my lungs, my spleen, gall bladder, small intestine and large intestine. Lots of stuff, but honestly I wasn’t surprised at all.

Then a short session of acupressure on my back started. When I thought of acupressure I thought, well of PRESSURE. But it was very very gentle and I wondered if it would really do anything.

I got a book and made an appointment for next week. Where we would start the egg-mix. No showering for 6 hours. Alright. 

I’m back

Hi everyone,

I haven’t postet in 5 billion years, and people started to complain (rightfully so!).

Mainly I stopped writing because I wasn’t sure if what I was doing was a good or bad idea and I didn’t want anyone to try something stupid. (But I realize now that pretty much everything I (we) do here is trial and error). 

Then I lost my habit of writing here and you know how it goes.

I tried a lot of stuff and am still starting new stuff. Tomorrow I’ll have my first session of NAET therapy. It sounds like a load of crap, but we’ll see.

I’m sorry you haven’t heard from me. The urge to share is back and so am I.
You’ll hear from me tomorrow. I have so much to tell! 

face treatment

I started to use steam for my face. It’s a great treatment when it’s cold outside and your skin gets stressed out.
I boil 1liter water with one big tablespoonful of seasalt in a wide pot. Then I bring my face over the pot and hide myself and the pot under a big towel ^_^ After half an hour or so in the salty steam you’re done.
Then wash up with cold water. Immediatly afterwards my skin feels a bit uncomfortable but one hour later it’s smoother than before :)
Also works great when you have a cold.

In the trash

That’s where all my creams and lotions went! For 20 days now haven’t used a single product on my skin. The first few days were aweful. My skin was extremely dry and also hurt a little when I bent my arms. Luckily there wasn’t much itching and I enjoyed all the extra time I didn’t spent creaming ;) After a week it started to get better.

My skin barrier is far from repaired, but I’M GETTING BETTER. I wash myself with a wash cloth because even cold showers would dry me out too much in this early stage.
My skin is still very dry, but there is no more pain. It is getting smoother every day.

Why did I do it?
I noticed the more I “moisturized” my skin the more it needed it. My skin had completely forgotten how to take care of itself. Once I came to that realization I couldn’t wait until winter was over, I had to act now. 

How did I do it?
Hot showers are forbidden! I drink 3 to 4 liters of water per day. I eat at least 2 tablespoonfuls of linseed oil in my meals every day. (and other high quality oils)
No sugar, no alcohol, no smoking (I never smoked and drank, but I guess that’s not that way for everybody ;) I walk every day.
I take vitamin C and B supplements as well as Chlorella.
I guess that’s about it. :) 

Potato soup

Hi, there!

I think one thing that is very upsetting about the state of histamine research today is the contradictory lists of what you can and cannot eat… My doctor tells me that potatoes are high in histamine, but that sweet potatoes are ok. Watch out for reactions, I guess I would say!

But your recipes do look yummy! Thanks for sharing them!

Best wishes,

B.A.

Thanks, no problem! We made a ginormous pot again today. It worked perfectly and I didn’t get any reaction. On my doctor’s list, potatoes are ok. I guess you’ll have to try :-/ Today we also added fennel for extra soupiness ^_^ Maybe you can adapt some of the recipes. We don’t eat as many sweet potatoes in Austria. There are little packages with two sweet potatoes in the supermarket that cost double of 1kg of ordinary potatoes. So I haven’t tried them yet.
The two lists I made (what you can and can’t eat) I collected from my doctors lists, books and websites. I guess it’s not perfect, but it’s a start :)

Hearty potato soup

Fall is here and the days are growing short. This soup is for cold & rainy days:

step 1:
Cut celery stalks into small pieces (even the leaves) and boil them in water with some salt for about half an hour. 

step 2:
Meanwhile slice a few carrots and leek (The more leek the tastier ^_^). Peel potatoes and cut them into small cubes.  

step3:
Heat rapeseed oil in another pot and roast the leek with some salt in it. Then add the potatoes and carrots. Roast at a higher temperature and keep stirring.

step4:
Deglaze with the celery water. We don’t need the cooked out celery bits, so it’s best to use a sieve. 

step5:
Add some caraway and let everything boil at a lower temperature for about 15 minutes. Keep the lid on.

step6:
Mix with a hand held blender, but make sure the soup stays chunky. Add some more salt if required. 

Power pulp of goodness

This is what I just had for breakfast. It’s easy to prepare and gives me energy for the day! (also: vegan!) Just throw everything in hot rice milk and stir at a low temperature for about 10 minutes.
