OrangeReviewStarPhysicians Robert (The Vaccine Book) and William Sears add another title to the "Sears Parenting Library" series with an in-depth look at the root causes, diagnosis, treatment, and outlook for those who suffer this common—and potentially fatal—autoimmune response. Allergies seem to be forever on the rise, with designated "nut free" zones in schools and kids who carry their own EpiPens® a common occurrence. The Searses present the best of traditional medical advice with an honest evaluation of alternative remedies often sought by parents today. Covering ailments, such as nasal allergies, eye allergies, and asthma, and examining food allergies, such as those to eggs, nuts, and milk, the authors provide parents with suggestions to treat the symptoms and prevent future allergic responses.
VERDICT This essential title addresses the most timely of concerns, such as gluten sensitivity, injection therapy, and the role of genetically modified foods on our immune systems.
