Brief Summary:
Background It has been suspected in our clinic patients that when patients do not wash their hands after receiving NAET treatments the effect of their treatments has been reduced or in some cases the same treatment has to be repeated more times to be effective
Location of the study PNIB Research Center 6714 Beach Blvd Buena Park CA 90621
Purpose The purpose of the study was to determine the importance of hand-washing with plain water after each NAET treatment The study utilized an experimental design with random assignment to two groups consisting of treatmentexperimental and treatmentcontrol groups
Objective We sought to determine if there is any benefit to mandate hand-washing with plain water after each NAET treatment

Objective We sought to determine if there is any benefit to mandate hand-washing with plain water after each NAET treatment
Detailed Description:
Selection of the Subjects
The study was limited to the established patients in our clinic who came for NAET treatments on a Wednesday Wednesday was chosen since it was a full working day and more patients will be treated on Wednesdays First patient who arrived in the office was assigned into the experimentaltreating group then every odd number was selected as treating group All even numbers were selected as placebo group
Inclusion Criteria The primary inclusion criterion was that patients are getting treated for NAET on that day All new patients were excluded Only existing patients were chosen for this study All the subjects included were required to sign a consent form which allowed the researcher to designate them as subjects for the study
Exclusion Criteria The exclusion criteria were Serious illness eg cancer chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases kidney diseases heart diseases pregnancy mental diseases and history of anaphylaxis
Group Assignments
38 females and 22 males ages ranged between 12-60 years were randomly assigned to 2 groups
1 Experimental group 30 22 females and 8 males subjects were assigned to this group
2 Control group 30 16 females and 14 males subjects were assigned to this group
Experimental Subjects
They were advised to wash their hands with soap and water before beginning of NAET treatments They were also asked to wash their hands with plain water no soap after completing NAET treatment before they left the office
Control group
They were advised not to wash their hands before or after the NAET treatment They were allowed to go home soon after the treatment
Evaluation Methods
All subjects were treated for their appropriate scheduled allergens for that day After the NAET they waited for 20 minutes in the office Then they were rechecked for the treated allergens All of them had successfully completed their treatments The experimental group was advised to wash their hands with plain water and they were advised to go home The control group was advised to go home without washing their hands with water They were asked to return on the following Wednesday for reexamination A week after the treatment they all returned for recheck and the resuls were recorded
Duration of The Study The study duration was 7 days
Results
Experimental Group 28 passed the treatment 2 failed the treatment Control Group 5 passed the treatment 25 failed the treatment NAET Treatment was successful in 933 of the experimental group who utilized hand-washing after NAET treatment NAET Treatment was successful 166 in the control group who did not wash their hands after NAET treatment
