The Troubled Teen Industry / Problem with a controversial therapy
« on: August 27, 2004, 08:00:00 PM »
Hello, everyone.

I am going through some personal issues as of late. My mother takes me to go see this chinese "doctor" every week, to be tested and treated for particular allergies. I am given a small glass tube of a substance to hold in my palm while he presses down on each of my organs to see if the left arm shows weakness. When a weakness is found,  I am flipped over on my back to be massaged with the tube still in my hand, and am told to avoid eating or coming in contact with substance X for 24 hours while the senitivity is supposidly cleared out. This is called the NAET treatment, by the way.

My problem with it is that I am entirely sick of going. I  don't believe in it, don't enjoy the poking and rubbing of my body, and I don't like getting into arguments with my mom over it. I feel that she doesn't really care about my feelings toward it and the "doctor", and just drags me along despite my continuous refusals. And just today, before she left, I got into another bad argument about it with her, and she says that she doesn't want to speak with my anymore, and I am afraid about what else she is planning to do to punish me when she returns.

Has anyone else heard of this treatment? How did you feel? How should I talk to my mom about this, so that she listens to me, so that she understands, and doesnt get angry at me?
