A non-conventional treatment is being praised by some food allergy sufferers.
Before his desensitization treatment, food and certain chemicals made Nathan Towle miserable.
“He had no impulse control. He couldn’t control his behaviour with other kids. He wasn’t accepted into a day home and nobody would babysit him,” says Caroljoy Towle, the eight-year-old’s mother.
After Nathan’s treatment, administered by a naturopath, he can now eat all types of foods.
Dr. Rabia Meghji is a naturopath who uses a desensitization technique called NAET.
The technique involves putting the allergens in a vial and then placing it near the patient in an attempt to desensitize them to their allergy.
