What We Believe
At Balanced Health & Allergy, we believe that there is a natural solution to treating all types of allergies and sensitivities including, season, chemical, pets and food just to name a few. Are you tired of not being able to truly enjoy your children’s outdoor sporting events due to constant sniffling, sneezing and watery eyes. What about worrying about reading the labels on all foods to determine if there are any ingredients that will cause a problem for yourself or children. There is hope for your seasonal and food allergies out there. Our treatment plan consists of an initial evaluation; treatments tailored to each individual’s allergy case and ongoing follow up as needed. At no point in our treatments are traditional allergy shots used. Acupressure is used to remove interference within the energy pathways in your body, allowing one to function at an optimal level and tolerate substances that they were previously unable to. We want to be able to help people of all ages, adults, children, infants, and even the elderly be able to enjoy life to the fullest without having to avoid the outdoors due to seasonal allergies or constantly inspecting food labels and asking about ingredients when eating out with family and friends. Let us help you using an all-natural, alternative approach to your allergies and sensitivities.
Our Lead Practitioner
Our lead practitioner is Lannie Davis. She is a Registered Nurse with a background in a variety of areas; hospital, home care, elderly care and dialysis. She began learning about NAET, and became certified in NAET due to her children's various allergies. One child had a severe peanut allergy as well as other nuts and environmental allergens. Another had an egg allergy. Her children and husband receive treatments on a regular basis and are all at various stages of recovery due to the differences in each one’s allergies. Her son with the egg allergy is now able to eat eggs daily since starting treatments. She is committed to helping people in the Des Moines and surrounding area reduce their allergies and live a better life, while taking a natural, alternative approach.
Since starting training in NAET, she has taken various classes in treating patients with severe allergies, allergy related Attention Deficit Disorder, and allergy related Autism. She also has attended the NAET Symposium to meet with other practitioners and expand her knowledge base. Please contact our clinic to learn more.

NAET
What it is & How it works
What is NAET
NAET is an acronym for Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique. NAET, first developed in California, is based on principles from the fields of allopathic (Western medical knowledge), chiropractic, acupuncture, kinesiology, and nutrition. NAET is a natural, non-invasive, and drug- free holistic treatment.
How NAET Works
Everything on earth has an electromagnetic field, including foods, pollens, hormones, neuro- transmitters, in fact anything you can think of. We work with vials that are imprinted with the electromagnetic field. When you hold a vial, your body will "read" or register exactly what that item is, and your body will also know whether you are compatible with it or not compatible. Non- compatible means you are sensitive or allergic to the item. Several negative things happen when you have an allergic reaction. You can have a rash, or mucous, or an asthmatic attack. If you are allergic to a food, your body will have trouble digesting and absorbing the nutrients fully from that allergic food. We also find you can be sensitive or allergic to vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, hormones, or neurotransmitters. Most of our patients thus have complaints of fatigue, brain fog, and "just not feeling well" as a result of malabsorption of necessary nutrients. When we treat the allergy, the body can then begin to absorb and utilize these necessary nutrients, improving overall health.
We use Muscle testing based on the work of Dr. George Goodheart who developed Applied Kinesiology. We can determine your sensitivities and allergies using this technique that is extensively used in the chiropractic and alternative health field.
Traditional Acupuncture theory for 3000 years has said that your life force or Chi flows through energy pathways they have identified and called "meridians". When you have a blockage of the meridian pathway you will have a symptom or illness. Allergies will cause major blockages of meridian energy. The originators of Chiropractic taught that chemicals and allergies could cause disruption of correct nerve transmission. Dr. Devi realized that holding the allergen vial was starting that process of meridian and nerve disruption. She theorized that if she opened and balanced the meridian flow and worked with the spinal nerves including stimulation of the sympathetics in the thoracic spine (while holding the item or vial), that the body would re-program to accept the allergy. This proved to work, and the breakthrough treatment worked with any class of allergen, whether food or pollen or chemical.
The human body including the nervous system is always processing the environment for survival. We believe that the nervous system will always classify something as "safe" or "not safe". The "not safe" category should include viruses and bacteria and not much else. Allergies are an example of the body mistakenly labeling something as "not safe". NAET reprograms the body to more correctly put the item in the "safe" category, thus clearing the allergy. Reprogramming has the advantage of being a fast therapy- it is far easier and quicker to reprogram than to de-sensitize, which has been the traditional allopathic approach. NAET has the additional advantage of being able to help treat any category of allergy, whether it is food, or pollen, or chemical, or fabrics, animals, or any other class of reaction...
FAQs
Your Questions, Our Answers
What Is NAET?
NAET is an acronym for Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique. NAET, first developed in California, is based on principles from the fields of allopathic (Western medical knowledge), chiropractic, acupuncture, kinesiology, and nutrition. NAET is a natural, non-invasive, and drug- free holistic treatment.
How does it work?
In some ways the body works much like a computer. It is programmed to respond in certain ways. NAET treatments reprogram the nervous system to help the immune system stop attacking food, irritants, chemicals, or anything else a person is allergic to. Once the body accepts reprogramming, it heals itself.
What age can be treated?
NAET is safe and effective for everyone, even infants and the elderly.
How do you determine the specific substances I may be allergic to?
NAET practitioners use Muscle Response Testing -MRT- to gauge the body's reaction to specific substances. It is a painless and inexpensive technique.
What do you do during a treatment? Will it hurt?
The treatments use gentle acupressure on the back to open the acupuncture meridians and stimulate the spinal nerves. It is safe, painless, and it can be done on any one of any age.
How many treatments will I need?
After your first consultation and exam, Lannie will let you know about how many visits you would benefit from. The severity of your health problems and length of time you've been experiencing them will influence your course of care.
How does it fit into a larger healthcare program for myself?
You do not have to change or stop medications or medical treatments to receive NAET.
