Background on Traditional and Alternative Therapies

N.A.E.T. and BioSET

Are holistic, non-invasive treatments that aid in the elimination of food allergies and environmental hypersensitivity. N.A.E.T. was developed by practitioner/researcher Dr. Devi Nambudripad herself an acupuncturist, R.N., chiropractor and kinesiologist. Dr. Nambudripad began applying a combination of medical principles gained from modern and ancient medicine. In 1984 she discovered the treatment which was named after her, known as N.A.E.T.

BioSET was developed by Dr. Ellen Cutler of Los Angeles California. BioSET is based on N.A.E.T. techniques which have been finessed to eliminate the 25 hour avoidance period requred by N.A.E.T. BioSET embraces other treatment techniques that bring about a more holistic improvement in overall health. For more information about BioSET visit www.bioset-institute.com

Who can benefit from N.A.E.T & BioSET energy medicine?

Almost everyone can benefit from energy medicine treatments. N.A.E.T. and BioSET are especially beneficial for those suffering from chronic conditions such as allergy, Environmental Illness, chemical hyper-sensitivity, Fibromyalgia, dyslexia, ADHD, ADD and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

N.A.E.T./BioSET are alternative therapies that combine allopathy, chiropractic, kinesiology, nutrition, and acupressure. They do not replace traditional medical care but rather they complement western medical care.

Allopathy & Western Sciences

Knowledge of the brain, cranial nerves, spinal nerves and autonomic nervous system from Western medicine enlightens us about the body's efficient multi-level communication network. Through this network of nerves, vital energy circulates through the body carrying negative and positive messages from the brain to each and every cell in the body and back to the brain. Knowledge of the nervous system, its origin, travel pathway, the organs and tissues that will benefit from its nerve energy supplies (target organs and tissues) and its destination, help us to understand the energy distribution of particular spinal nerves that emerge from the 31 pairs of spinal nerves.

 Kinesiology

Kinesiology is the art and science of movement of the human body. It is used in N.A.E.T. to compare the strength and weakness of any muscle (also known as Muscle Response Testing) of the body in the presence and absence of any substance. Measured weakness in the presence of a substance is due to the effect of an allergy to the item the person is touching. This simple method can be used to detect your allergens.

  Acupuncture and Principles of Oriental Medicine

Yin-Yang theory from Oriental medical principles teaches the importance of homeostasis in the body. According to Oriental medical principles, "when the body is in perfect balance, no disease occurs". A disturbance in homeostasis leads to disease. Allergens adversely impact on the body's ability to maintain homeostasis. In order to prevent or correct disease, homeostasis must be achieved. Acupressure applied at specific acupuncture points is capable of bringing the body to a state of homeostasis by removing energy blockages from energy pathways known as meridians. When blockages are removed, energy flows freely through the energy meridians, bringing the body into balance.

Nutrition - You are what you eat!

Health is achieved, in great part, through proper nutrition and adequate assimilation. What is meant by the right nutrition? How do you achieve adequate assimilation? When you can eat nutritious foods without discomfort and assimilate their nutrients, that food is said to be the right food. If you get indigestion, bloating, or other digestive troubles upon eating the food, that food is not helping you function normally. This is due to an allergy to the food. Different foods react differently in different people. What is food for one may be poison for another. It is very important to clear allergies to nutrients. Upon successful clearing an allergy, patients begin to enjoy the benefit of eating wholesome foods.

Ironically, many people end up feeling poorly when they take vitamins and supplements. This may be due to undiagnosed allergies to components of their supplements. If they are allergic to their supplements, they will end up feeling worse, not better. A N.A.E.T. practitioner tests for hidden allergies treats patients to clear them. Once cleared, the body will then be able to successfully assimilate nutrients from foods and supplements.

Testing and Treatment Services at the NAET Clinic of Ottawa

New Patient Work Up - Comprehensive includes a full review of the patient's history and is followed by computerized electro-dermal testing for allergies, sensitivities as well as meridian testing. We also test for metabolic and organ system function which is particuarly useful for patients who experience symptoms that are more difficult to pin down.  The resulting treatments plan may follow established practice protocols for NAET and BioSET (allergies and sensitivities to food,  environmental, chemical, microbial and auto-immune factors) or may follow other modalities such as Auricular electro-Acupuncture, Laser Detoxification, Homotoxicology, Lymphatic Drainage, Hypnotherapy, etc.

New Patient Work Up - Basic NAET  includes a review of the patient's history and is followed by computerized electro-dermal testing for allergies to 35 specific Basic NAET items (+10 other items)  Ideal for patients who specifically know they want NAET treatments, this targeted approach takes less time and so costs less than our comprehensive testing.

Patient Progress 

N.A.E.T. and BioSET Allergy Treatments  are holistic, non-invasive treatments that aid in the elimination of food allergies and environmental hypersensitivity.  NAET was developed by practitioner/researcher Dr. Devi Nambudripad herself an acupuncturist, R.N., chiropractor and kinesiologist.  First introduced in 1984 the treatment methodology has been develped and refined over the past 25 years. 

BioSET was developed by Dr. Ellen Cutler of Los Angeles California.  BioSET is based on techniques similar to NAET which have been refined to reduce or eliminate the 25 hour avoidance period requred by NAET.  BioSET embraces other treatment techniques, including the use of supplementation, that bring about a more holistic improvement in overall health.

Auricular Medicine and Auricular Therapy  is more than simple acupuncture on the ear using needle acupuncture, acupressure, laser acupuncture or electrodermal-acupuncure. We assess issues reported by the patient and we determine in which order meridians and organ systems need addressing to bring about the desired outcomes. Auricular Medicine is dynamic.  Auricular Therapy is the application of set protocols for specific outcomes.  Auricular Medicine is used to effectively treat acute and chronic conditions with quick effect. 

Auricular Medicine provides musculo-skeletal, organ and meridian healing and it provides pain reduction.  Various types of sessions provide specific outcomes. It can be used in combination with otherr therapies to synergistically improve the effect of both modalities.

Acupuncture can be provided in combination with NAET and with hands on Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to enhance the speed of the reduction of swelling in tissues (edema). 

 Acupuncture can be provided simultaneoulsly with Hypnosis to enhance the outcomes of both modalities.  For example, pain reduction can be treated using a combination treatment of acupuncture and can be enhanced by the simultaneous use of hypnosis (and/or homotoxicology, etc).  

Anti-Addiction programs developed by Judy Spence provide acupuncture in combination with hypnosis, to increase the effectiveness of both therapies in eradicating addiction by helping change addictive patterns and lifestyle behaviours  while detoxifying the body of its stores of chemicals thereby reducing addiction biochemically and emotionally and increasing the effectiveness of any singular modality.  http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa4087/is_200504/ai_n13635405  

Individualized  treatment programs are available at the NAET Clinic as a result of the carefully pairing of adjunctive holistic therapies that Judy Spence is uniquely qualified to deliver to her patients. 

Consultation in the Clinics or by Phone   with Judy Spence is available for follow-up sessions by phone or in person.  

Homotoxicology  is a particularly effective specialty of homeopathy pioneered by Dr. Heinrich Reckeweg (1877-1944) which parallels conventional medicine.  Most homotoxicology remedies are specific combinations of single homeopathic remedies used in traditional homeopathy.  The homotoxicology products provide predictable outcomes that do not vary with each patient, as does the traditional constitutional remedy.  Remedies are provided (usually) in multiple potencies that are able to provide desired changes to organs, tissues or systems without the usual aggravations expected in traditional homeopathy.  Dr. D. Nambudripad, originator of NAET since 2009, has been  encouraging her practitioners to use homeopathy on their practices to enhance the effectiveness of NAET treatments.  Judith Spence, ND, DNM, Ac, RN, CH has been providing Homeopathy/Homotoxicology to her patients since 2001 (see products header above).

Hypnosis allows you to alter old, unwanted habits and patterns (smoking, overeating, poor sleep, stress, shopping, etc.) to improve your confidence; to attain rest and relaxation; to achieve your personal goals; to improve your success in sports; to improve your attention to school studies, etc.  Judy Spence is a Certified Hypnotist (CH) through the National Guild of Hypnotists https://www.ngh.net/MemberDesignations.aspx and a NLP practitioner and member of the Canadian Association of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) http://www.canlp.ca/nlp-member-list/userslist.html.  Judy also offers a unique combination service: HypnoAcupuncture which synergistically enhances the outcome of both treatment modalities http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/adventures-in-mind-body-medicine/200808/hypnopuncture.

Detoxification at the NAET Clinic of Ottawa

Ionic Detox Foot Bath  sessions include a 30-45 minute foot detox + 15 minute Chi machine (passive exerciser) treatment.  The NAET Clinic of Ottawa is also an authorized dealer for Ionic Oasis Foot Spas.  Contact the clinic for details or to book your foot detox sessions. Pre-paid packages are available at a discount. 

Infra-Red Sauna Detox  sessions typically starts with a 10-15 minute aerobic exercise (elipitical or stationary bike) followed by a 30-45 minute Infra-Red sauna.  The patient is then required to shower (towel is provided) to remove toxins excreted during the sauna session, before they are reabsorbed through the skin.  Pre-paid packages are available at a discount

Laser Acupuncture Detoxification (LAD) provides an Initial assessment with computerized testing for detoxification panels.  LAD patients are followed up and re-assessed on a periodic basis.  A Chi treatment is required immediately prior to each LAD session.

Combined and Comprehensive Detox Programs  offer a combination of our standard detox services: Infra-Red Sauna Detox and Ion Foot Detox (including Aerobics, Chi machine and shower).  We also offer an more comprehensive program which adds Auricular Detox Therapy.  Our programs include supplements that stimulate and facilitate the detoxification process. 

We also make available specific Detox products such as detox Foot Pads (worn while you sleep) and the Heel Detox Kit, which gently accelerates the body's detoxification.  We can customize a program for you based on your toxic exposures and the approach you prefer to take. 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a hands-on treatment to reduce tissue edema or swelling.  Manual lymphatic drainage is especially beneficial for allergy. Following injury or surgery, MLD reduces pain, improves recovery and shortens post operative healing time.  MLD reduces head fullness through a technique referred to as a "brain drain".  MLD is also very useful in detoxification as it stimulates the body's lymphatic system and boosts its ability to remove and carry away toxins that are released through the various detoxification methods described above.  Patients at the Clinic enjoy a combination of either NAET with lymphatic drainage and/or with hypnosis and/or with auricular detox therapy.  These therapies synergistically enhance each other to provide a fast recovery and remarkable outcomes.

IV Therapy   A physician's order is required. The fee is $100 per IV treatment plus the cost of vitamins-minerals used in the IV.  Ask the clinic staff for details.
