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.

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!

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
