Greetings Listers; Since there have been recent inquiries about autism on this list, I wanted to inform you all of the preliminary results from the 2004 Autism Pilot Study conducted by the Nambudripad Allergy Research Foundation. Using NAET (Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique), the following study was done, and results obtained: Starting with a group of 60 children within the Autism Spectrum, 30 children in the treatment group were administered twice weekly NAET treatments for 50 allergens (foods, chemicals, environmental allergens, DPT and MMR vaccinations, and antibiotics and other drugs previously taken). All 60 of these children before NAET had no eye contact, no verbal communication, no nonverbal communication, and were following a special educational program. RESULTS: In the treatment group, all 30 subjects established good eye contact by the time they completed 5 to 10 NAET treatments. All of them established verbal communication as well as nonverbal communication in varying degrees by the time they completed 5-20 treatments. The four children who dropped out due to unavoidable circumstances (parents having to relocate due to job situations) had established eye contact, and some amount of verbal and nonverbal communication before discontinuing the program.. According to independent psychiatric evaluation and the reports from the children's school psychological departments, 19 out of the 26 children completing the study have been removed from the autistic category. Four children were evaluated as being mildly autistic; they are able to talk and communicate nonverbally. The other three children require more treatments; evaluations indicate they are still moderately to severely autistic. However, the children in this last group have improved greatly. The parents are very thankful for this opportunity for their children to lead normal lives. Larger studies are upcoming, with children from the Control Group in this present study being included in the Treatment Group of the next study.
