Because of this, I wanted to write and let you know changes I\u2019d seen in my mother since you treated her with NAET. On our prior visit, before Mom\u2019s NAET sessions with you, she spent time every day in her room away from the group, resting.<\/p>\n<p>As far as I know, the GP and specialists were testing her for everything they could think of with no success. Concurrently, I also noticed she tended towards negative gossip which was unlike her. However, on this visit, she had no stomach ailments, dizzy spells, nausea or excessive fatigue. She was bright and bubbly, and happy to socialise. For instance, if she saw foods that she recognized to have dairy, she would say she had to avoid it as it gave her stomach troubles. For the most part, she did eat many foods with dairy during our visit. She and I shared a tasting platter of gelato. Surprisingly, she didn\u2019t realise it had cream in it. She enjoyed it very much. No stomach ache or vomiting followed.<\/p>\n<p>My sister noted to me that she hasn\u2019t seen Mom get sick after eating dairy since the NAET treatments.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for all that you did for my mother.
