SET-DB: Sensitivity Elimination Therapy

Some people are familiar with the terms NAET, BioSET, or BioKinetics. These are all protocols that work with eliminating the body's reaction to something it does not like. The idea behind each is similar but the difference is how each protocol works in aiding the body to deal with sensitivities.  There are two significant pioneers in SET: Dr. Devi Nambudripad and Dr. Ellen Cutler. According to Dr. Boothe, the idea that sensitivity reactions could even be cleared was discovered by Dr. Devi Nambudripad, serendipitously, while she studied acupuncture. She refined the process over the years and began teaching it to other practitioners, calling it Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET). Dr. Ellen Cutler ran a busy NAET practice north of San Francisco, in Marin County. Shortly after she had a positive experience with enzyme therapy, she developed her own technique: BioSET. She changed the clearing procedure a little, added enzyme therapy and homeopathic detoxification, and improved on Dr. Nambudripad’s overall approach.  BioKinetics is also another variation based on the NAET technique. Arise Wellness Therapy Center utilizes SET-DB, a variation of NAET that combines years of practice and refining by Dr. Teryl Boothe utilizing the Zyto Elite BioEnergetic Scanning device. The addition of the BioEnergetic scanning allows for greater insight into the body's needs and faster movement through the programs to help people feel better more quickly! 

Q: What types of sensitivities will SET-DB work on?

A: Hay fever, Food Sensitives, IBS/IBD, SIBO, Rashes/Eczema, Chemical/Environmental, Candida, ADD/ADHD, Ear Infections, Headaches, Thyroid, High Blood Pressure, Leaky Gut, Pre-Diabetes/Diabetes/Insulin Resistance, Menopausal and PMS symptoms, Chronic Viral or Bacterial Infection 

 Q: What’s the difference between an allergy and a sensitivity?
A: Most MDs and researchers have a narrow definition of allergy. It only occurs when the immune system makes an IgE antibody to something. If no IgE is made, it’s not allergy. However, many people react to things they’re not allergic to. These kind of reactions have several names: hypersensitivity, adverse reaction, and sensitivity. SET-DB uses the term sensitivity. Even though antibodies aren’t made, the immune system can still be activated by unknown means, but likely by the nervous system, which runs everything in the body. The basic idea is that a sensitivity is an electrical or energetic incompatibility between the body and a substance.
Q: How are allergies and sensitivities discovered and treated?
A: Most trips to a medical allergist, or immunologist, office involve “scratch tests.” They’re easy to administer and insurance companies readily pay for them. Some might order blood tests that do a better job of finding food allergies. Treatment consists of allergy shots, medication, or in rare instances, a rotation diet to try and train the immune system to tolerate foods it has made antibodies to. Sensitivities can be discovered in several ways. Manual testing via a leg length check or muscle test are common, but are also slow. Computer-aided bioenergetic scanning can find sensitivities faster and can check for more things as it involves a database of potential stressors.  Sensitivities can be cleared with SET-DB™. The question a ZYTO stress scan answers is: Do these substances stress a patient or client’s body and, if so, to what degree? It could be an allergy or a sensitivity, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is it stresses the body. To speak plainly, a ZYTO scan does not “diagnose” allergies, but it can find things that stress the body. SET‑DB™ does not treat allergies, it clears sensitivities.
Q: How does SET-DB™ work?
A: The SET-DB™ clearing procedure is natural, drugless of course, and non-invasive. It can be safely done on infants and the elderly, regardless of their health status. There are no known contraindications or side effects. There is only a four-hour avoidance period after each clearing, and it really is a “soft” avoidance.
Sensitivities are cleared one group of like items at a time, such as grains or dairy. A methodical procedure of  certain categories are typically scanned and cleared before others. 

The technical answer to how SET-DB and BioEnergetic scanning work is best understood by quantum physicists who are familiar with terms such as Zero Point Field and Entanglement theory. For most of us, this is beyond our typical knowledge basis. Many of us don't truly understand how our cars work other than we put the key in the ignition and it works. The same could be stated for television waves, cell phones, and all types of technology, but we see that it does work and that is all that really matters.
Q: Does SET-DB™ get rid of sensitivities permanently?
A: The real question is, do SET-DB™ clearings need to be repeated? Almost never. If a clearing does need to be repeated it’s usually because the person failed to avoid what they had cleared for four hours.
Q: Does getting rid of sensitivities improve health?
A: It certainly can. There are many testimonials of how people have been helped with SET-DB™. Not every symptom is caused by an allergy or sensitivity. But, if a sensitivity does cause or contribute to a symptom that symptom will likely remain, perhaps even get worse, until the sensitivity is cleared.
Q: How long does it take to start feeling better with SET-DB™?
A: It varies. Some people get seemingly miraculous results in one or two sessions. Most feel better little by little as they go through their program.
Q: How many clearings do people need?
A: Some people get a few clearings while others get forty or more. It depends on how many sensitivities they have and how good they want to feel. Also, some only want to have a sensitivity to their cat cleared, so they might only have one. A ten-visit Inhalant program helps people with hayfever and a twenty-five-visit Foods and Nutrients program helps those with food sensitivities. The advanced Fibromyalgia and Thyroid Protocols suggest programs that range from twenty–to–forty visits.
Q: Does the procedure involve taking a lot of supplements?
A: No. Even the advanced Fibromyalgia and Thyroid Protocols suggest only three or four supplements in addition to SET-DB™ clearings. The Organ System Stress Test (OSST) BioSurvey included with the Basic Package produces one homeopathic formula. The focus of SET-DB™ is to rid the body of as many sensitivities as possible to remove obstacles preventing people from enjoying better health.

Q: What is the cost of SET-DB?
A: The initial consult is $30 and the exact program will depend on individual needs. The Hay fever program for seasonal type allergies involves 10 sessions whereas food and other advanced programs will require 25-40 sessions. We offer package sessions which allow for greater discount on programs vs paying for individual sessions.  All package fees are provided at your initial consult once it is determined exactly what you need.
