Most people's diets are woefully inadequate for providing proper nutrition. Even good diets fail to deliver sufficient levels of nutrients. THE VITAMIN CURE book series highlights the safe and clinically effective use of vitamin supplements for a variety of illnesses. Research continues to prove the immense value of vitamins for maintaining health and fighting disease. THE VITAMIN CURE books, written by authors who are recognised experts in their field, give you authoritative, up-to-date and practical information on taking vitamins for particular health problems. Throughout the developed world, the number of people with allergies - to inhalants, foods and chemicals - has been rising for fifty years and rising steeply for the last twenty years. Many allergy cases are misdiagnosed and people often don't find relief even when they are treated. The good news is that there are a number of commonsense steps you can take to relieve and even prevent your allergies, with THE VITAMIN CURE FOR ALLERGIES as your guide: Avoid: Once you have discovered what sets you off, stay away from it. Remove anything to which you react, not only from your environment but from your body, too. Protect: Use nutrition - including vitamins C and D, essential fatty acids and magnesium - to prevent and/or reduce allergy symptoms. Desensitise: Desensitisation involves exposure to a small dose of something to which you are allergic in order to lessen your immune system's reaction. Options include homoeopathic formulae, neutralisation and enzyme-potentiated desensitisation (EPD). Many people with allergies have experienced profound improvement by using the recommendations in this book. By incorporating these measures into your own life, you, too, can find lasting relief from allergies.

Informative and engaging
18 Feb 2011

Format:Paperback
There are plenty of books on allergies, but this one is different in at
least two important ways. First, Dr. Downing writes just as if you are
sitting down with him for a consultation. And beyond being a congenial
writer, he is clearly experienced in this subject area. The doctor is
president of the British Society for Ecological Medicine and has been in
practice for over 30 years. The second way this book stands out is that it
is orthomolecular: it recommends really large doses of
nutrients, instead of drugs. Very few allergy books seriously consider the
therapeutic use of nutritional supplements. In addition, the author tells
why sugar, provocative foods, environmental toxins, and most pharmaceuticals
are to be avoided. Still, he does consider drugs as options in some
circumstances, and provides appropriate cautions. Not surprisingly, he
advocates that you eat good foods, exercise, and take vitamins instead. But
the author tells why and how to pull it off. And, with his very engaging
writing style, he makes it so clear that you want to just go and do it. Even
high doses of vitamin C up to "bowel tolerance" sounds good - if it will
help get rid of allergy symptoms. If Drs. Linus Pauling, Abram Hoffer, and
Robert Cathcart are correct, it will indeed. Many other researchers are
cited, with a total of nearly 100 scientific references provided. I
understand Dr. Downing is in London UK. I wish he were closer, because this
book indicates that the man really understands allergies and the people who
have them. If you have allergies, and cannot get to Harley Street to sit
down with him, this book is for you. And it has to be cheaper.

Great Book for Allergy Sufferers!
2 Nov 2011
By Richard Bennett
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
THE VITAMIN CURE FOR ALLERGIES, is the fourth book in the remarkable Vitamin Cure Series. The author, Damien Downing, M.D., writes from experience. He suffered from allergies in his youth, and now in his medical practice, he is treating others who are suffering from the symptoms of allergies.
Dr. Downing clearly explains what allergies are, what causes them and what we can do about them. He shows allergy sufferers how to best avoid the inhalants, foods and chemicals that can cause allergic reactions, and gives specific information on treatment using diet, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes.
If you suffer from allergies and are looking for simple, practical ways to both prevent and treat allergic reactions, I highly recommend this book.
