[.ca] Winning the War Against Asthma and Allergies (ISBN 0827386222)

Winning the War Against Asthma review:
Excellent coverage for persons trying to identify the various triggers for asthma and allergies. This is also a primer for persons wanting to explore the NAET system of allergy elimination of Dr. Devi Nambudripad. Covers usage of plant enzyme therapy as well.

Should be 0 stars-:
I didn't read the whole book, but I didn't need to, because what I did read made me feel suckered for buying this book. Drug-free was what I was looking for, but this is too much (or, too little). The muscle testing seemed unlikely enough, but when I got to what the NAET (Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique) therapy was about, it sounded even more so: basically, touching "reflex areas" on the abdomen indicates allergy to a substance being held, then acupressure or acupuncture treatment to that muscle cures the allergy, if you avoid the allergen strictly for 25 hours(p. 205). The author even believes in "surrogate testing"(p.32)--an adult touches a young child, who is holding a sample of suspected allergen, and the adult is tested for muscle weakness that proves the allergy? Oh, please! Maybe there are other good things in the book, but these methods of diagnosis and therapy seem all wrong.

Open your mind:
.... To anyone who is reading this review, seeking hope for allergy CURING: ignore the negative comments and judge for yourself. .... NAET is incredible, it is totally new, and something you will find yourself questioning when you read about it (because it is so different to the status quo medical approach). But let me tell you from personal experience: IT WORKS! I have eliminated car sickness with NAET, and am currently working on my severe pollen fever. I'm seeing big results! If I can cure my pollen fever, don't you think you can cure YOUR allergies? At least study it, and even find a practitioner ... and try it instead of point-blank giving up an opportunity to end your suffering. Those who dismiss this new approach to allergies without even trying it (!!!) have no one to blame but themselves for their unresolved allergies. .... GOOD LUCK! ....

Client of Ellen Cutler:
Ellen Cutler's work is visionary. It works whereas nothing else seems to - After being chronically ill for years and searching, full time, for a medical and/or alternative practitioner who could help me, finding and being treated by Ellen Cutler is like finding a needle in a haystack. I am eternally grateful that I have found her located so close to where I live. She is a kind and compassionate soul. I see that another reviewer has judged her work without experiencing it which is what prompted me to post this review. That reviewer has done his or herself a disservice to judge Ellen Cutler's work without first hand experience. Secondly, another reviewer was looking for a practitioner. Here you can connect to a nationwide list of practitioners and veterinarians. I believe this technique has the potential to become the foundation for the practice of medicine and that by use of this technique in children, they never have to develop chronic illnesses by correcting imbalances at their onset of symptoms. Ellen Cutler's technique is fascinating, as is she.

A must read for parents of children with asthma & allergies:
This book details in plain english, a clear understanding of the underpinnings of asthma and allergies and how to rid your body of them and live a healthier life. Having put a severely asthmatic and allergic 5 year old child through the NAET process described in the book and seeing first hand the success and restoration of a normal life, I highly recommend this book to anyone with children who suffer needlessly. My daughter can now enjoy birthday parties, picnics, summer camp and all the other great things life has to offer, without the fear of being ill.
