Amazon.com description: Product Description:
"I would highly recommend The Complete Allergy Book to my patients and their families, as I would to anyone who needs a better understanding of allergy (doesn't everyone!)."
David B.K. Golden, MD, FACP
Associate Professor of Medicine, John Hopkins University, Baltimore

With its detailed drug tables, informative sidebars, and excellent diagrams, this book gives you the straight facts about a condition that affects about one-fifth of the world's population.

Every year people die from allergy-triggered causes, including asthma. Many people with allergies don't seek medical help; yet if they understood more about their condition, they could obtain better relief and have greater control.

June Engel begins with a general overview of allergic reactions, and then discusses the many aspects of these increasingly, common ailments. Among her topics:

  • the immune system and how it works
  • how to diagnose allergies and track down triggers
  • medications and how to use them
  • treatments for childhood allergies
  • new approaches for the management of asthma
  • the particular problems of food, skin, drug, and insect allergies
