NAET Allergy Elimination for Kids in Denver's Highlands
Allergies in children often look different than they do in adults. Instead of sneezing and itchy eyes, a child might deal with skin rashes, stomachaches, trouble sleeping, or unexplained hyperactivity. Joanne Trujillo offers NAET Allergy Elimination for kids at her Denver Highlands practice, treating children from Wheat Ridge, Edgewater, Arvada, and across the Denver metro. The technique is needle-free by default and gentle enough for babies, and it works just as well for kids well into their teens.
How NAET Works for Kids
A child's first visit starts the same way it does for an adult: an in-office evaluation using kinetic muscle testing to identify specific sensitivities to foods, environmental triggers, or chemical compounds. From there, Joanne builds a treatment sequence around what the testing actually finds, not a generic allergy panel.
Kids who aren't ready for needles don't have to be. Sho-ni-shin, a set of Japanese pediatric massage tools, stimulates the same acupuncture points without breaking the skin, and it works just as well as needling for most kids. Joanne adjusts her approach session to session based on how a child responds.
Who NAET for Kids Is For
NAET is appropriate for children under 14, and Joanne has treated babies successfully. Parents most often come in for food sensitivities like dairy, gluten, or eggs, seasonal or pet allergies, eczema and other skin reactions, or recurring stomach and sinus issues that haven't cleared up with standard treatment. When a pediatrician's workup hasn't found clear answers, NAET testing sometimes turns up sensitivities that a conventional allergy panel misses.
Common Questions Parents Ask
Is NAET safe for babies?
Yes. NAET's muscle-testing approach and Sho-ni-shin's non-needling technique make it appropriate for infants, and Joanne tailors the pace of treatment to the child's age and comfort.
Does my child have to be needled?
No. Most kids do the entire protocol with Sho-ni-shin instead of needles. Needling is available for older kids who are comfortable with it, but it's never required.
How many sessions will my child need?
It depends on how many sensitivities the initial testing identifies. Some kids see meaningful change after a handful of sessions, while others with multiple sensitivities need a longer course. Joanne gives you a realistic estimate after the first evaluation.
What age range does this treat?
Anywhere from infancy through age 14. Teenagers can also do the standard adult NAET protocol described on Joanne's NAET Allergy Elimination page.
The Research Behind NAET
NAET's use in children isn't just anecdotal. A peer-reviewed case study published by the National Institutes of Health documented NAET eliminating food allergies in a 3-year-old girl, with the results holding at follow-up.
