More About the Author

My childhood ambitions were to be a writer and a missionary - I've managed to achieve one of those.
Writing is something I do naturally - it's a wondrous process too - the fact that the marks on the page can mean something - convey information, inspire, sadden, make you laugh .. what an extraordinary thing.
My main interest is in health and complementary/alternative medicine, particularly kinesiology, which I practiced for 20 years and taught for more than 10.
Apart from writing books, I also research and develop test kits for therapists. When I'm not doing all this, I spend time going to the gym and riding my bike. My favourite type of biking is longish distances. I've ridden across the US (4200 miles) and ridden from Lands End to John O'Groats in the UK. I've also ridden my bike in lots of European countries and in India and east Africa - it's a great way to see the world, stay fit and clear the mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Convenient Resource for Understanding Allergies, April 8, 2006
By 
Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 109,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Allergy A to Z (Paperback)
Most people would like to have a better idea of whether or not they and their family members are suffering from allergies. But most people also don't want to read through thick books on the subject that are filled with medical jargon that they don't understand.

Allergy A to Z is a good solution for those people. The book opens with several excellent essays that briefly summarize key perspectives on allergies:

What Is Allergy?

Why Do People Become Allergic?

Allergy Equals Addiction

What Symptoms Can Be the Result of Allergies?

Allergy Signs in Children

Correlations

Detecting Allergies

Correcting Allergies

Those essays are then followed by a listing of allergens, in alphabetical order, which comprise the bulk of the book. I read all of those pages because it gave me many new perspectives on allergens to watch out for. Yes, I'm one of those people who has a lot of allergies. I thought the information was great, and I found several new chemicals to watch out for that I hadn't read about before.

I also heartily recommend appendix 4 which provides information for practitioners and students.

If you don't have a book to help you deal with allergies, this book would make a good choice for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully informative!, August 26, 2005
This review is from: Allergy A to Z (Paperback)
Jane Thurnell-Read confirms information about allergies in a way that the lay person can really relate to, and know that they are not alone in their suspicions about the nature of their allergies and possible allergens! They may not be what you think they are!
Well researched with information about allergy testing, allergy cures and extensive lists of allergens!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent self-help and practitioner reference book, September 5, 2005
This review is from: Allergy A to Z (Paperback)
I highly recommend Allergy A to Z as an invaluable reference tool for anyone suspecting that they may have an allergy to a common or not so common product. The book is clearly laid out and contains a wealth of well researched information on common allergens. This book is also a valuable tool for health practioners from both traditional and complementary fields
