By A Customer

This review is from: Chemical Sensitivity: A Guide to Coping With Hypersensitivity Syndrome, Sick Building Syndrome and Other Environmental Illnesses (Hardcover)

OUT OF ALL THE BOOKS THAT I HAVE READ ON THE SUBJECT OF
CHEMICAL SENSITIVITIES, THIS BOOK IS BY FAR THE BEST IN
PRINT. MOST OR ALL OF THE RESEARCH AND INFORMATION
CONTAINED ABOUT TREATMENT AND AVOIDANCE ARE 100% CORRECT. I
WOULD RECOMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE THAT HAS CHEMICAL
SENSITIVIES OR KNOWS SOMEONE THAT DOES.
