Approximately 10 million Americans are allergic to cats. (JAMA May 11, 2005). The allergen (a
substance that causes allergies) can cause asthma, a stuffy running nose itching watery eyes, and a sense of
ill feeling.
Some people are so sensitive that they have symptoms when entering a house in which a cat has not been a
resident for many days.
The conventional management is avoidance of cats and the use of antihistamine medications to suppress the
allergic reactions.
A new method of management can remove the cat allergy from the body so the body no longer reacts to
the cat allergen with symptoms.
CAT ALLERGY: An ophthalmologist was so allergic to cats that he experienced itching eyes when
examining patients who had cats at home. After NAET to cat fur he no longer suffered symptoms when
near cats and when examining patients with cats at home.
CAT FUR ALLERGIC CONJUNCTIVITIS: A lady age 43 was examined on a Friday morning with
the chief complaint of a left red eye. The red eye had been present since the previous Monday. She said
she was allergic to cat fur. On Monday she had been in a place of business that had an indoor resident
cat. She is left handed and theorized she had had her hand on a table or some object on which there had
been cat fur and rubbed her left eye with her finger.
There was no light sensitivity or foreign body sensation or secretions to suggest an infection. The eye was
red. There was no corneal stain with fluorescein. NST indicated no allergy when she touched the right eye
with her finger and allergic when she touched the affected left eye with her finger and also when she
touched a test vial of cat fur. A NAET treatment was done while she held her finger on the affected eye.
After the treatment NST indicated no allergy with her finger touching the left eye and also the cat fur test
vial. The symptoms resolved that day.

not open his eyelids. There was a history of allergy to cats. He was aware that a cat had taken a nap on
his jacket that he had laid on a chair. He wore the jacket and quickly developed the eye symptoms.
