5.0 out of 5 stars Allergy Self Help Book, July 19, 2003

Dr. Mark Allan Padolsky (Atlanta, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Allergy Self-Help Book: A Step-By-Step Guide to Nondrug Relief of Asthma, Hay Fever, Headaches, Fatigue, Digestive Problems, and over 50 Other A (Hardcover)

This is a great book! It simplifies allergies so that the layperson can start doing something about allergy problems. Just the list of allergy symptoms helps educate patients about how they are being influenced by their allergies. I suggest that all of my TMJ and Orthodontic patients purchase the Allergy Self Help Book.
The book shows non invasive common sense methods for controling allergy problems. Unfortunately, many physicians and dentists are not aware of the severe effects allergies can have on their patients so patients have to educate themselves fully.
It is especially important that parents protect their children from the harmful effects of allergies such as decreased nasal breathing and neck problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very educational book on allergies!, April 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Allergy Self-Help Book: A Step-By-Step Guide to Nondrug Relief of Asthma, Hay Fever, Headaches, Fatigue, Digestive Problems, and over 50 Other A (Hardcover)

I got this book from the library after a friend of mine had gotten it and knows of my anxiety trouble. She begged me to get this book and knowing of my many allergies including shots as a child I got this book and low and behold - I have seen the light. I'm trying to purchase one as I have to return this to the library but I recommend this book to anyone having health trouble, it will really open up your eyes to things you would never dream of.

While this book contains a nice sampling of allergy information, there is no life changing info here. If one is already well read from a lifetime of allergy distress, there is no value to purchasing this book. I'm not saying it is a bad book, it just doesn't have any new or innovative information on the subject.
