ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A life-changing, research-based program that will end food allergies in children and adults forever. The problem of food allergy is exploding all around us. This book, however, offers the first glimpse of hope with a powerful message: you can work with your family and your doctor to eliminate food allergies forever. The trailblazing research of Dr. Kari Nadeau at Stanford University reveals that food allergies are not a life sentence. Because the immune system can be retrained, reactions--from mild hives to life-threatening airway constriction--can be disrupted, slowed, and stopped. The key is a strategy called immunotherapy (IT)--the controlled, gradual reintroduction of an allergen into the body. With innovations including state-of-the-art therapies targeting specific components of the immune system, Dr. Nadeau and her team have increased the speed and effectiveness of their treatment to a matter of months. New York Times bestselling author, Sloan Barnett--a mother of two children with food allergies-- provides a lay perspective to make Dr. Nadeau's research accessible to everyone. Together, they present a clear, supportive plan to combat a major national and global health issue; they walk readers through every aspect of food allergies, including how to find the right treatment and manage the ongoing fear of allergens that haunt so many sufferers.
