Reviews
This is an invaluable resource on allergies from an expert in the field; good for patients and their families, as well as those who work in health care settings. The Q&A format makes the information quickly accessible and helps make this title essential in any consumer health collection.
An excellent, comprehensive encyclopedia of food allergy geared toward patients and families. Paying tremendous attention to detail and questions posed by patients, families, and consumers, this evidence-based book is top of the field.
An excellent book that explains the various facets of food allergies in an easy-to-understand fashion that is informative but not patronizing. I would highly recommend this book to my food allergy patients.
An outstanding, comprehensive, easily understandable, and up-to-date resource for people with food allergies, as well as their parents and caregivers.
This book should be essential reading for anyone working in the medical field today. As a food allergy support group leader I have heard far too many stories of poor—even harmful—advice being given to patients by unknowledgeable allergists; this book could solve that problem.
