"The conventional management of allergic conditions relies on suppressive drugs that often lose effectiveness over time. In this book, Dr. Elizabeth Smoots does a terrific job of explaining how to use an integrative approach that can actually help the immune system unlearn allergic reactivity. She stresses the usefulness of dietary change, natural remedies, and mind/body therapies along with the pros and cons of the standard drugs. Essential reading for anyone who suffers from allergy."
--Andrew Weil, MD
