Books
The problem of food allergy is exploding around us: an estimated 2 million people are living with a diagnosed food allergy in the UK alone. This book offers a glimpse of hope with a powerful message: you can work with your family and your doctor to eliminate your food allergy forever. Drawing on her trailblazing research at Stanford University and work with thousands of children with allergies, Dr Kari Nadeau reveals that food allergy is not a life sentence because the immune system can be retrained. Food allergies - from mild hives to life-threatening airway constriction - can be disrupted, slowed, and stopped. The key is a strategy called immunotherapy (IT), the controlled, gradual reintroduction of an allergen into the body.
