This book will have a prominent place in my library and I highly recommend it!" —Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S., author of the bestselling The Fat Flush Plan

In this book Dr. Fred Pescatore deals with the roots of these modern epidemics, drawing on his clinical experience, and he provides clear recommendations for turning back the tide and restoring health." —Jack Challem, author of the bestselling Syndrome X and The Inflammation Syndrome

"The Allergy and Asthma Cure is the book we have all been waiting for.

A must read for those dealing with these issues." —Artur Spokojny, M.D., F.A.C.C., Medical Director of Integrative Medicine of Manhattan, Associate Professor of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College

"I believe that The Allergy and Asthma Cure holds the key to understanding how nutritional medicine can really work for you. Allergies (from skin conditions to seasonal types) and asthma can be cured, not just held at bay. This book shows the way. Dr. Pescatore is truly a healer. —Roberta Flack, singer/songwriter

Cohen, MD, board-certified, Internal Medicine

His approach has changed the way I live." —Paul Goldman, patient --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars It really works, September 16, 2003

By	Bonnie J. Smithson "engrbjs" (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Allergy and Asthma Cure: A Complete Eight-Step Nutritional Program (Hardcover)

I had been getting more and more allergic every year. Last year I developed asthma, and kept up with an intense schedule by using inhalers, a lot! Even though I gave up dairy and wheat, they continued to get worse, finally to the point where I had hives and welts from touching my books (a little microscopic mold, I suppose). That was the last straw and I bought this book and followed it for 3.5 months now. I went from using inhalers 3 times a day to 0. I can hug my cats again, where I would cough when they walked into the room with me before. I had some patches of eczema on the elbows that is gone, and I finally have some get up and go again.

If you feel despair of having your body literally self destruct with allergic reactions, follow this program with ALL of the pertinent supplements (3 handfuls a day for me), and get your health back!

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriging, May 8, 2006

By	Jan Wolter (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Allergy and Asthma Cure: A Complete Eight-Step Nutritional Program (Hardcover)

I read this book with very great interest. It's the most promising and sensible approach I've seen to addressing the allergy and digestive problems I've been having for many years, which my own doctors have by trying ineffectively to treat by drugging the symptoms into submission. I intend to try the program.

However, I expect to have some trouble talking my doctors into supporting this. Pescatore appears to have developed his "cure" based on a lot of clinical trial and error and some guesswork based on a rough theory that the problems are all rooted in leaky gut and candida yeast overgrowth. That kind of clinical approach is very valuable, but it takes more than that to really convince the medical community. Pescatore appears to have choosen to market his method directly to consumers via popular books and TV talk shows, rather than market it to the medical community via formal clinical studies or experimental research. Much of his suggested treatment is going to be questioned by the mainstream medical community. For instance, does it really make sense to eliminate all sugar from your diet when your body makes its own sugar from the foods you eat, so there will always still be lots of sugar in the bloodstream? Still, I have seen some medical research from other sources that hints that there really is something to his approach. For now, his approach may be the best available, though many of it's details are unproven.

I also find it slightly off-putting that when I go to the store to get the macadamia nut oil that he heartly recommends, I find the oil is sold by him. (Though it really is good and healthy and was probably hard to get before he started marketing it.) When I go to the web site of the blood test company he recommends, there's his ringing endorsement. Pescatore Inc is there wherever I go.

He's certainly not nearly as bad as other "show doctors" who build financial empires on dubious weightloss theories. His book clearly distinguishes between established medical fact and his own approaches. He's clearly aware of mainstream medical research and has been integrating it into his approach as far as possible. There's no crystal waving here. It's not quite science, but it's close, and it's may be the best we are going to get for a while. And his suggested treatment is, at the very least, less likely to do harm than all the medications my doctors have been suggesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must read for allergy and asthma sufferers, February 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Allergy and Asthma Cure: A Complete Eight-Step Nutritional Program (Hardcover)

I first read about treating children for allergies and asthma in Dr. Pescatore's first book, "Feed Your Kids Well". As a physician, I implemented many of his ideas in my practice and found remarkable results. Literally, people's lives were changed. This book goes more in depth to treat people of all ages, and if you suffer from allergies of asthma, it can change your life as well.
