*Frequently Asked Questions About Eczema

1. What is Eczema?

*Eczema is a general term encompassing various inflamed skin and face. One of the most common forms of eczema is atopic dermatitis (or “atopic eczema”). Approximately 10 percent to 20 percent of the world population is affected by this chronic, relapsing, and very itchy rash at some point during childhood. In general, atopic dermatitis will come and go, often based on external factors. Although its cause is unknown, the condition appears to be an abnormal response of the body’s immune system. In people with eczema, the inflammatory response to irritating substances overacts, causing itching and scratching. However, for most patients the condition may be managed well with our solution and avoidance of triggers.

*Patient Testimonial
*Hi, My name is Megan and I am 10 years. I had eczema all over my body and have been suffering for years. My mom has taken me to sooooooo many Doctors to try and help me. All they did was give me medicine to stop the itching. I used lotions, pills and creams. I heard about Dr. David Popkin and how he helped kids with eczema. I started the procedure and went through the basics and saw big changes. Now I am eczema free and no more lotion, medicine and no more itches. Thanks so much Dr. Dave.”*

2. How does Eczema develop?

*Eczema occurs in both children and adults, but usually appears during infancy. Although there is no known cause for the disease, it often affects people with a family history of allergies.

*Those who are genetically predisposed and then exposed to environmental allergies trigger may develop eczema. Many people who have eczema also suffer from allergic rhinitis and asthma, or have family members who do.

*Patient Testimonial “For 10 years I suffered from eczema and a rash around my back and waistline. I was tested for cancer, treated for Candida, yeast, and went through cleansing programs of various types over the years with no results. The itching began spreading into my lower extremities -legs and thighs. Finally I discovered Dr. Popkin & NAET and found out I was allergic to elastic and cotton. I’m glad he addressed that on the first visit. I had almost instant relief and the eczema and itching has not come back. Thanks Dr. Popkin!”*

*“My 5 month old baby came to Dr. Popkin from a referral from another patient. My child is name Moshe and he had eczema all over his body. Mainly on his cheeks, behind his knees and elbows. Dr. Popkin explained that many times it is a food allergy that causes the problems. I was breast feeding the baby since birth and he told me whatever I am eating is affecting the baby. He found out that my baby had food allergies and within a few sessions my baby skin started to clear up. He was on cortisone cream for the itching. Now I am happy to say he has no more eczema or itching and is off the cortisone.”*

5. What is N.A.E.T. and how does it help with food allergies?

*N.A.E.T. stands for Nambudripad’s Allergy Technique. NAET was developed by Dr. Devi Nambudripad. She is an R.N., PhD in Acupuncture, Chiropractor and has recently received her M.D. degree. She has a clinic in Buena Park, California, where we have personally visited many times. She still sees over a hundred patients per day and continues doing allergy research.

*I know that you’re wondering if NAET could help you or your child? It can. My name is Dr. David Popkin and I would love the opportunity to see if I can help make a difference for you and your family. Call me and let’s talk about your or your child’s food allergy and how NAET can help. You have nothing to lose and there will be no charge to talk with me. Call me at (954) 370-1900. I really do look forward to speaking with you!

6. How long has the N.A.E.T. procedure been in existence?

*N.A.E.T. has been researched and developed over the last 20 years.

7. Why haven’t I heard about N.A.E.T.?

*Even though it has been practiced over the past 20 years, N.A.E.T. is still considered a relatively new technology on the allergy scene. Dr. Devi has personally trained over 4500 practitioners in her allergy addressing technique. Unfortunately, these individual practitioners, including us, do not have the tremendous advertising budgets of the pharmaceutical industry to enhance the awareness of this cutting edge help plan. N.A.E.T. has grown primarily by word of mouth from existing patients and is only now finding its way into the research journals and allergy reference materials.

8. What is the N.A.E.T. procedure and testing?

*N.A.E.T. is based on the theory and concepts of EME or electromagnetic energy. The human body has a flow of electrical currents that run through it everyday of your life called meridians or energy channels. When the body has an allergic reaction, a blockage occurs in the meridians. Blockages of different meridians, or channels, cause different symptoms. By stimulating what are called alarm points on either side of the spine while the person holds the allergen vial, the electromagnetic energy is altered in the patient’s body therefore reducing the allergic response. In the body a chemical, enzymatic, and physiologic change occurs which neutralizes the immune mediators and therefore interrupts the antigen-antibody reaction. By doing this, it clears the energy blockages and notifies the brain that the allergen has been desensitized.

9. What is the session procedure on a typical N.A.E.T patient?

*The patient is first asked to wash their hands with soap and water in order to remove any foreign substances or energies that may be on their hands. The patient is then asked to remove their watch, socks, shoes, and any other electrical or battery operated device from their body. The Doctor will then begin the MRT (muscle response testing procedure) in order to determine what substance the patient has allergy or sensitivity to. The MRT procedure is painless. When a baby or child is being tested, a surrogate will be used. Typically this is the parent. The surrogate is always checked first to make sure they are not allergic to the item being tested. After recording the findings, the Doctor will begin the first session. The patient then holds a small vial with the allergen energetic in it. The Doctor then uses a small painless instrument to stimulate key acupressure points along the spine. Based upon the patients preference, different techniques including acupressure, electro-acupuncture, laser acupuncture or needle acupuncture, are utilized in completing the help plan. After this procedure, the patient with the vial in hand is asked to relax for a period of 20 minutes. This period helps the body go through the desensitization to the allergen. In the case of children, the vial is secured to their body using a hypoallergenic tape. At the end of the help planperiod, the doctor will once again check muscle response strength to the allergen. Once again, the patient will be asked to wash their hands; but this time only water is to be used. This will remove bioenergetics of the substance being addressed. Final written instructions are then given outlining the products that must be avoided and the length of time of this avoidance period.

10. Does the help plan help people of all ages?

*N.A.E.T. can be effective for individuals of all ages. In our office we have helped pregnant women, newborns, infants, children of all ages, adults, and geriatrics.

11. How long do you have to avoid the allergen?

*As previously stated, after the session in the office is completed, you will be give a list of substances to be avoided and the length of time of the avoidance. Your body will be very sensitive at this time to the items / allergen that you have cleared. Most individuals have to stay away from the products for at least 25 hours. However, this could be longer in individual situations and will be assessed on each and every visit.

12. Are there any risks to the patient or potential side effects?

*There have been no reported side effects when the guidelines have been followed correctly. If they are not adhered to, the patient may experience an allergic reaction if they come in contact with the allergen during the avoidance period. The high success rate is due in part to the thorough consultation, examination, and proper help solution protocols that are instituted in our office. The patient’s commitment, understanding, and follow through with the Doctor’s instructions are an integral part to the success of the sessions. If the guidelines are closely followed, side effects should be few, if none at all. The patient can expect improved health, which relates to an enhanced immune system, reduction of their allergies and symptoms, and a sense of well being.

13. Is there a certain order that must be followed in helping with allergens?

*Yes, according to Dr. Nambudripad’s technique food items are checked and cleared first. There is a list of foods called the basics. 15 to 25 foods must be evaluated. The reason we check foods first is that your body cannot survive without food. Your body can avoid certain environmental allergens, chemicals, inhalants, etc. By clearing foods first, we strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and absorption. This allows your body to get the necessary nutrients which are essential when undergoing the subsequent sessions. Typically, the session order is as follows:

• Egg Mix – includes egg yolks and whites, chicken
• Calcium
• Vitamin C
• B-complex
• Sugar
• Vitamin A
• Iron
• Salt
• Chlorides
• Mineral Mix
• Corn
• Yeast
• Wheat

*The order is very structured and must be followed exactly because one food group is usually linked to the subsequent one. Clearing of one allergen could potentially reduce the need for addressing another allergen group further down the line.

14. How many sessions will I need?

*This is a very difficult question to answer in that everyone has different genetic makeup, body type, histories, and personality. All of these factors will come into play in order to determine which allergens need to be addressed. Most individuals will have to be tested and cleared on the basics that come of positive. For each positive allergen being tested, one session is usually needed for clearing that particular item. Only one allergen is cleared or addressed per visit. This is not only because your body is actively desensitizing toward the one allergen, but also it would be rather difficult for your body to go through this procedure with multiple allergens at the same item. Secondly, it would be rather difficult to avoid multiple food groups at the same time and strict adherence to the avoidance list and avoidance time is a key component to a successful session. Fasting is not recommended, or allowed, during the avoidance period.

15. What is the difference between allergy shots and N.A.E.T.?

*The goal of allergy shots or immunotherapy is to desensitize the individual to the allergen or allergens by injecting a small amount of the substance in the skin. Allergy shots typically do not offer long-term results but are primarily used as a symptomatic approach. The injection is usually administered in the arm and given 2x per week. The dosage is gradually decreased depending on symptoms until a maintenance level is established. This process can last for 5 -7 years. Shots can be painful when being administered. Pain at the injection site, with soreness can also be expected from these shots.

*N.A.E.T. uses no shots, no needles, and no medications. It is a painless session. With N.A.E.T., in just a few visits most individuals will achieve positive results in a short time. Although the number of sessions varies as a result of the amount of allergens that need to be addressed, most people can have resolution of a life-long problem in as little as 3 months or a few visits.

16. How do I setup a consultation with the doctor to see if he can help me?

*Dr. Popkin will be happy to discuss any questions, or concerns with you prior to you coming. Please call (954) 370-1900 to schedule a consultation with the doctor.
