I came to Dr. Crandall for NAET to treat my allergies to grass and trees, which have made outdoor activities a true source of misery over the years. I found complete relief from the outdoor allergens, permitting me to play golf without watery eyes.

I have personally experienced many incredible results.  I personally would breakout with sun poisoning every time I would be exposed to the tropical sun.  After 1 treatment for radiation I no longer get that horrible rash.  That was 6 years ago!

Dr. John Crandall saved my son's life! 

My son suffered with eczema and allergies since he was an infant.. His condition progressively got worse and became life threatening as he grew. His eczema covered about 60% of his body including his face! His diet was limited to about 5 foods.Eating out was never an option for fear of a break out from eating something that would cause a reaction or just touching the table where a potential allergen could come in contact with his very sensitive skin. It was rare that he would sleep through the night.He would scratch himself in his sleep until he bled. He would wake up just about every morning with bloody sheets and open wounds on his face and body. He couldn't wear anything but cotton. He couldn't go into a chlorinated pool. I had to use special detergents and soaps for him. He had trouble playing sports because the uniforms irritated him and as soon as he would begin to sweat he would begin itching. We couldn't visit family members that might have a cat or a dog. He had to carry an epi-pen wherever he went. His was ridiculed by other children because of the appearance of his skin and the different foods he had to eat.
Doctors were very little help. They would prescribe steroids, benedryl or Zyrtec to help with the itching. None of which was a long term solution. 
Out of desperation, I began looking into NAET and I found Dr. John Crandall. The treatment seemed a little bizarre. My family didn't believe it would work. I actually had one friend laugh at me and tell me it sounded like witch craft. I didn't care, I had to give it a try and I was willing to put in the effort and time because I had to help my son. We were in for a long road because of the severity and quantity of his allergies.  We gradually began seeing results. His eczema began clearing up, his diet began expanding, the pool water no longer bothered him and we were able to eat out, touching the restaurant table was no longer a problem. He was able to be around dogs and cats meaning we could visit friends and family again, if fact we were able to get our own dog!
Today his skin is clear of eczema, he has claimed his childhood back! His skin now shows the scars of his past. He has light marks on his body from the incessant scratching and bleeding that is now nonexistent. I look at those scars as a reminder of the years of anguish we have left in the past, thanks to Dr. John Crandall. If it wasn't for him and NAET, I don't know where my son would be. My only regret is that I didn't find Dr Crandall sooner!

I have seen dramatic results with both of my sons.  One had bad stomach aches and the other had eczema and both have been successfully treated using NAET.  I can only imagine the many other benefits NAET has given our bodies.

My son Tony is an 11-year-old boy who was diagnosed with autism/PDD (pervasive developmental disorder) as an infant.  Since he has been working with Dr. Crandall and using NAET some of the most profound differences in him have been the fact that he's now off all the anti-anxiety medications.  I've tried in the past to get him off this type of medication unsuccessfully and now he is anti-anxiety medication free with no change in his behaviors at all.  He's much calmer than he's ever been.  Secondly, Tony is much more aware of his environment since beginning and continuing with NAET.  He's noticing things around him and pointing them out to me where before, he would just not notice or not care.  Another important change in Tony is his eye contact.  It is so much better than it ever was.  He will look at me when he's talking to me or I'm talking to him.  It's quite apparent that he's listening to what I'm saying and responding appropriately, and not with nonsense.  Tony's speech has been increasing as well, becoming more articulate and the tone of his voice is beginning to normalize.  These are some of the most noticeable differences in my son and I am very grateful for the opportunity to have learned about NAET and to be working with Dr. Crandall.  His positive energy and effects on my sone have been instrumental in Tony's recovery from this disease.

After 12 months of NAET treatments, I can eat eggs, yogurt, ketchup and my mouth is not on fire.  I have relief from GI symptoms and headaches from other substances also.   But, I think one of the most (or the most) important results for me was being able to wear make-up again.  The facial skin had become so irritated by just the minutest amount of make-up which really prohibited all use.  It's wonderful to have that little benefit back in my life.

I have been a patient of Dr. Crandall for almost three years.  When I went to him for the first time I had multiple food allergies and chemical sensitivities.  Now, I can eat anything I desire without any negative reaction, and I am able to tolerate perfumes, cigarette smoke (second hand, of course) gasoline fumes and a variety of other odorous chemicals that were previously out of the question.  Furthermore, I can take certain  drugs that I was formerly extremely sensitive to.  Finally, my system has improved despite the fact that I have at times not taken treatments for weeks.

For me, he is the best thing since chicken soup.

Ryan's story:
After Ryan turned 2, we began noticing some blood in his stools.  Shortly before his 3rd birthday, he had a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.  He was put on medication (not liquid and was a struggle to get in him 3 times a day) which we were told he would need for the rest of his life, along with bloodwork every 3 months and routine colonoscopies. We accepted that diagnosis and began his medication which did improve his symptoms for the first 6 months.  Then in March of 2010, Ryan had a "flare-up."  This was the first time he seemed to experience any pain and for 5 days, he had quite a bit of pain and much bleeding.  We repeatedly called the pediatric gastroenterologist who kept upping his medication. Next step was to start steroids.  At this point, I called Dr. Crandall thinking that we had nothing to lose--why not give NAET a try.
After weekly trips over the next 5 months to see Dr. Crandall, we were able to wean Ryan off his medication and he has now been medication free for almost 2 months!  He has been having normal stools on a regular basis with no bleeding and is still able to eat anything we give him.
We are complete believers in the effectiveness of NAET!  Although skeptical at first, we can not deny the change in Ryan's health and are most grateful to Dr. Crandall for saving Ryan from a lifetime of pain and medication.

My doctors at Mt. Sinai, were stymied. All they could suggest was a medication with horrible side- effects.

I was unable to digest hardly any foods without physical discomfort. I was told after genetic testing that I also had celiac disease. After additional testing, I was told that I had off the chart intestinal bacteria and fructose and dairy intolerance levels that were too high to count. Along with the above I had Crohn's disease as my mother had had since the age of eight, along with newly acquired chemical allergies.  Although the quality of my health was very poor, I refused to take the medicine, the doctors suggested. It was at this time that one of the doctor's privately said, " it’s time to go alternative ".

Since, I started N.A.E.T., with Dr. Crandall, my health has drastically improved. Despite the diagnosis of Celiac Disease, I am now able to eat wheat and gluten products with no further complications. My blood work shows no inflammation and my last colonoscopy shows only a small area of inflammation where I had my previous surgery. For the first time in thirty years, I am no longer anemic and am full of energy. I never knew what it felt like to feel healthy, but I do now!

My multiple chemical sensitivity had pretty much confined me to a stripped down home and limited my interactions with people. This made it impossible for me to work. I have now resumed my work activities, I can travel, ride the subways, visit museums, theater, and movies. I can actually shop in a store’s cosmetic department without experiencing any allergic reactions. I have my life back!

It has been a long work in progress.  About 85% of my allergies have been eliminated or decreased.

I am continuing to have more treatments to eliminate my remaining allergies.  When you feel this good, you get greedy for more. I have never enjoyed my life more and will be forever grateful to Dr. Crandall.

Thank you,

Ina

I brought my daughter to Dr. John Crandall when she was 10 months old and covered with weeping eczema.  I had never heard of NAET until her primary physician casually mentioned it to me.  He had a colleague that told him that it helped his son and since he was at a loss as to how to help my daughter, he figured why not try it.  My daughter not only suffered with severe eczema but also had severe digestive issues and wasn't growing but actually losing weight.  I found Dr. Crandall via his website and decided to make an appointment.  When Dr. Crandall saw my daughter, he was quite shocked at how bad a condition she was in.  After witnessing the first treatment, I was very skeptical.  Although I'm a huge believer in alternative medicine, it seemed too simple to be able to help improve my daughter's critical situation.  My wife and I didn't return for follow up treatments for nearly a year.  During this time, I sought out many different doctors desperately trying to help my daughter.  One GI doctor prescribed oral steroids for her and although I didn't want to give them to her, I didn't know what else to do.  My wife and I had tried everything 'natural' to help her and nothing was working.  The steroids actually cleared up her eczema and helped her to gain weight.  We felt we had our lives back but wondered what was the next step.  We knew that the steriods were a temporary fix and would damage her health over time, she also looked swollen on them and this adversely affected her appearance.  Another GI doctor eventually said that we had to wean her off of the steroids since she was on them way too long.  I knew the symptoms would return and finally made a decision to give NAET another try.  We decided to resume NAET treatments and we're glad we did.  After several treatments, we started lowering her steroid dose.  We noticed that her symptoms weren't returning as they did when we attempted to wean her off prior to the NAET treatments.  As we continued with the treatments we were eventually able to stop the steroids altogether.  Today, she is doing much better and has started pre-school.  She is a 'work in progress' and we will continue to see Dr. Crandall as I truly believe that NAET is the 'missing link' in resolving chronic health issues.

NAET was our first exposure to alternative medicine so it took a giant leap of faith to commit to the unfamiliar techniques of oriental medicine. For years, we relied on conventional medicine which could only treat the symptoms of allergies using steroids and other pharmaceutical drugs. Conventional doctors could only advise us to abstain from the allergen in the hope that the children might outgrow it one day. Keeping the children away from milk, nuts, pollen, trees, grass & ragweed was extremely difficult and since exposure to such things is inevitable in everyday life, they were continuously taking steroids and other drugs which was impacting their behavior and quality of life.

When the idea of curing allergies with NAET was introduced to us, we felt compelled to try it and were fortunately placed in the care of Dr. John Crandall. The success of NAET is closely tied to a practitioner's experience with the technique as well as their ability to use knowledge and intuition to solve problems. Dr.Crandall has definitely mastered that ability and as a result, our children are enjoying all foods and playing outdoors in all seasons without taking any medications! NAET is perfect for children because the treatments are short and non-invasive. A typical treatment consists of a light massage along the spine (ie. acupressure) for less than a minute. The children would actually look forward to it and delight in Dr. Crandall's sense of humor. It took approximately 20 treatments to cure our sons' allergies and the cure is life-long! Over 2 years have passed since Dr. Crandall treated our sons and they continue to be allergy free. 

Besides acupressure, NAET also uses muscle response testing to determine which allergens are disrupting energy flow in the body. Muscle response testing is a standard tool used in kinesiology to test energy imbalances in the body and is completely non-invasive. After a few visits with Dr.Crandall, my sons would pretend to be kinesiologists and perform muscle response testing on each other! Our faith in NAET and Dr.Crandall has grown so strong over the years that when faced with any ailment, we now choose to visit Dr.Crandall first over a conventional doctor. The idea is that any ailment is due to an imbalance of energy in the body (based on oriental medicine) and NAET can restore the natural flow of energy. This has spared us from antibiotics and other medications frequently prescribed by conventional doctors. More importantly, by restoring energy flow in the body, NAET treatments have put our children in a better place for fighting off such basic ailments as the common cold. My sons' colds often ended in ear infections or bronchitis but now they simply pass within a week with the help of a few homeopathic remedies. 

I feel it is imperative for parents considering NAET to read the books "Say Good-Bye To Children's Allergies" and "Say Good-Bye to Illness" written by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad, the  creator of NAET. It is also imperative to have "The NAET Guide Book" before starting treatments. These publications are inexpensive and can be purchased on NAET.com as well as Amazon.com.
