Millions of others, however, suffer from allergies and don't even know it. Allergies and intolerances are often the hidden culprits that lie at the heart of a number of health conditions. If you are an allergy sufferer or have a recurring health issue that you can't seem to resolve, What You Must Know About Allergy Relief is the book for you. Written by a pharmacist and medical doctor, it provides important answers to the most common questions about allergies--what causes them, how they can affect your health, and most important, what you can do to overcome them.

Written in a clear, reader-friendly style, this book is divided into three parts. Part One presents an overview of the causes of allergic conditions as well as their most effective treatment methods--both conventional and alternative. It also addresses the growing epidemic of food and environmental allergies, especially among children. Part Two offers sound advice and practical tips for dealing with asthma, skin conditions, and other allergic reactions both at home and in the workplace. It provides helpful tips for allergy-proofing your home, minimizing allergic reactions to pets, and knowing how best to prepare when traveling. In Part Three, the authors provide a comprehensive guide to anti-allergy medications, supplements, and other treatment options.

Beautifully written, easy to understand, and up-to-date, What You Must Know About Allergy Relief offers the tools to identify hidden allergies as well the means to relieve their symptoms. With this book in hand, you can make the informed decisions you need to restore your health.

The author goes into deep details about the causes of allergies and options for reducing or eliminating your symptoms. I knew I was allergic to cats, it was easy to figure out on my own. Understanding how to find food allergies helped me figure out I am allergic to almonds and I've since eliminated them from my diet. If you or someone in your family suffers from allergies, figuring out foods not to eat can quickly improve someone's quality of life....this book can help you understand and deal with challenges that come from living with allergies.

Good info, except maybe the bits at the end about homeopathy.

[Simona Vancea · Rating 4 out of 5]

Easy to read and very helpful if you are just beginning to explore this allergy subject.

This is an interesting book that doesn't take into account the fact that some people with one type of allergy may also have other allergies - ones that specifically prevent them from using some of the remedies suggested in this book.
