The NAET technique was developed in 1983, and Dr Devi Nambudripad started teaching it to other health professionals in 1989. There are now about 10.000 NAET practitioners worldwide, most of them resident in North America. At the same time, since June 2000, more than 1900 have already been trained in Europe*.
Current distribution by medical specialisation is roughly as follows: 15% medical doctors, 40% acupuncturists, 30% chiropractors and 15% others (homeopaths, dentists, osteopaths, physiotherapists, naturopaths, etc.).
The majority of these health professionals have now made NAET the core part of their practice and their patients are constantly increasing in number thanks to simple "word of mouth" effect.
Dr Nambudripad has documented thousands of clinical case histories in order to enable the method to be scientifically evaluated, with the help of a number of academic researchers. She has published several books including her principal work, Say Goodbye to Illness (3rd edition).
* NAET has been described in the book (1000p): Alternative Medicine, the Definitive Guide", at the end of a 7 pages specific review of the technique, as follows:
"...a growing number of physicians are heralding NAET's merits and incorporating it into their practice, making it one of the fastest-growing new therapies in the field of alternative medicine".
