I am a GP and also a Member of the Royal College of Physicians. I have an interest in Allergy and Immunology and was most impressed with this book. It is well written and easy to understand regardless of what background knowledge you may have. For Medical Practitioners this is a 'must have!' so that you can advice your patients not just what treatment works well but also how to live with allergies and associated problems. For allergy sufferers and parents of children with allergies I can highly recommend the contents of this book: it will give you a lot of understanding and also practical help how to combat allergies and relieve symptoms. A brilliant book!!

This book gives explanations of what causes allergies, what the symptoms are and how to deal with allergies, including in an emergency situation (such as anaphylactic shock). There is also information on complementary medicine, and some receipes at the back for common intollerances / allergies. Very straight forward with very helpful and practical information.

I am a qualified Reflexologist and have been very impressed with this book and often refer to it. It is easy to read and explains what an allergy is, why more people are becoming succeptible to allergies, how to diagnose them and what I think is most important - practical advice on how to deal with these reactions.
It also details medication that is often prescribed and explains why these work and possible side effects.
I believe this book would appeal to anyone interested in helping their bodies cope in this polluted world and no medical background is needed to follow the advice.
