On October 13th, 2009, it is official, Owen has completed his NAET treatments.
We are so thankful to have been introduced to NAET. The process takes alot of committment and it definitely has its up and downs, but the benefits have superceded any doubts we may have had.
Our son has grown into an amazing boy. He has changed in so many ways that you wouldn't believe it if you didn't know him before our journey began.
A special thanks to our family and friends who suported us on this journey and to Dr. Linsk and Dr. Boggess who helped us realize that anything is possible.

Sick and Tired
The prior emotional treatment was definitely a draining one. Owen was very tired that evening and then the next morning he was sick. As much as no one likes to see their child sick, I knew it was for a very good reason. I have found it very interesting through this whole NAET process to see which allergen treatments have caused Owen to become physically sick.
Owen did pass the 3 last emotional treatments and so we moved on to the last of the sensory nerve allergens.
On October 7, 2009 Owen was treated for body fluids, inflamation and lymph glands.
The morning after this treatment, again Owen was sick. Poor little guy!
At least we are in the home stretch.

Surprise, Surprise!
Owen didn't pass impatience on the first go around, SURPRISE! That one must be embedded deep in the genes.
Today, we will treat for impatience once again in addition to criticism and depression.
Owen is highly sensitive to criticism, so I believe this treatment will be very valuable for him.

Emotional Baggage
I know some people keep their emotions all bottled up inside, but I didn't know you could actually bottle emotions in a vial. Go figure!
Anyways, Owen passed 3 out of the 5 emotional allergens that we treated for last week, so we will retreat for restlessness and stress in addition to impatience and inability.
I will be curious to see the effect if any these treatments have on Owen. He is definitely impatient, but that could also just be something he inherited from his parents. He also gets extremely frustrated when he can't do something right. So, now we just wait and see how it goes.

Rounding the Corner
As we are nearing the end of Owen's NAET treatments Dr. Boggess suggested that I review the emotional allergen kit to see if I felt any strong desire to test Owen for them.
The emotional allergens is a nice way to wrap up the NAET process.
After going through the kit, we decided to test Owen for the following emotional allergens:
criticism, confusion, anxiety, frustration, fear, inability, impatience, poor concentration, restlessness, worry, stress, panic, phobia, stubborn, depression and resentment. As you can see from the list many of these emotions are interrelated. Owen tested positive for 9.
We decided to take a slight detour with today's treatment and treat 5 of the emotional allergens, with the intent of treating the remaining sensory allergens at a future time.
Owen was treated for anxiety, frustration, restlessness, stress and panic. It was aggressive to treat 5 allergens at once but his system said he could handle it at that particular time.

Kindergarten Begins
We decided not to see Dr. Boggess for our weekly appointment on September 9th, since it was Owen's first week of school.
It's hard to believe he is in Kindergarten already. He made so much progess last year in preschool that he will be in a mainstream class full-time this year. He will not be at his home school of Commerce Elementary though because they wanted to still have the AI staff available for him as support if needed, which they have at Oakley Park Elementary.
It was a very difficult decision but I think it was the right one. Going from 1/2 days of preschool to full days of Kindergarten is a big enough adjustment. So, it makes me feel a little more at ease that if he needs a safe haven the AI classroom is available to him.
So, we'll see how it goes!

The Nervous System
Owen cleared the dust allergen, so we're moving on!
Owen still has many sensory issues, particularly those pertaining to sound. He becomes easily overwhelmed in group settings. Whether this is due to the chaos and confusion that can naturally occur in a group setting , or the acoustics in certain environments, or his general discomfort of having a conversation with one person, much less a group of people, it's something that he has to cope with on a daily basis.
Dr. Boggess suggested that we test some of the allergens dealing with the Nervous System, to see if Owen has any reactions to them, since these could be related to some of the sensory issues he experiences.
We tested the following allergens: cortisal, Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS), adrenal glands, body fluids, lymph glands, Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS), adrenalin and inflamation.
Of these Owen had positive responses to five of them: SNS, adrenal glands, body fluids, lymph glands and inflamation.
The Sympathetic Nervous System is the part of the Autonomic Nevous System that is concerned with preparing the body to react to situations of stress or emergency. Similarly, the adrenal glands are responsible for regulating the stress response with the release of certain hormones.
Owen was treated for SNS and adrenal glands on September 2, 2009. After this treatment, Owen was extremely tired.
Hopefully this a sign of good things to come!
