BANGALORE, JAN. 25. "Bhangra" beats filled the air as a little girl dressed in glittering black came on stage. And as Chandni S.Singh started to dance, the audience clapped enthusiastically not because the song it was a popular number, but because she was from Sophia Opportunity School (SOS) - a place for "intellectually challenged" students. At SOS, children with attention deficient disorders (ADD), learning disabilities, autism, and so on study. On Sunday, a small gathering at the Sophia High School (SOS is located in its premises) cheered even more when some more tiny tots from SOS danced to a lively Goan song, Galiyan Sangli Soniyachi. But when the item ended, the parents present listened attentively as they were told about a new treatment that had reportedly worked wonders with the children of SOS. That was because the day was the valedictory of a training programme in a new treatment called Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) so-named after the family of its founder Devi Nambudripad. Forty professionals who did an intensive five-day course in NAET conducted at the school, received their certificates from the Governor, T.N. Chaturvedi, as Dr. Nambudripad, the SOS Principal, Sr. Naina, and the Principal of Sophia High School, Sr. Sandhya, looked on. Sr. Naina, who had trained under Dr. Nambudripad, said children such as Chandni, responded remarkably well to NAET. She had been practising it at SOS for a while and found that children "who had anaphylactic reactions to egg, milk, and other food items now drink and eat those items without any adverse reactions. Their speed of learning has improved, attention span has increased, and they fall ill less", she said. She had treated members of the public, she said. "In April and May, I plan to treat children with autism, ADD, and learning disorders as well as patients with asthma, arthritis, and other such conditions, with NAET", she said but warned parents that once they put their child under NAET, they had to be patient and persevere and allow the child to complete the treatment. The U.S.-based Dr. Nambudripad said she had arrived at the technique through her own pain. "Throughout my childhood and most of my adult life, I suffered from one disorder or the other." Then she discovered that food was the main cause. "When we eat food that is not suited to our lungs, heart, or brain, we get various types of disorders. NAET is the answer to such allergic infections," she said. Mr. Chaturvedi welcomed the fact that NAET was inexpensive and involved no medicines. That was important given that in India, most people could not afford healthcare. He was more appreciative of the cultural programme the children of SOS had put up. "It is obvious that they have artistic and aesthetic sensibilities. We need to develop these," he said. To know more about NAET, call 22205683.
