Liberation from Allergies: Natural Approaches to Freedom and Better Health: Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Autor Chris D. Meletis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 iul 2009
In this comprehensive book, a naturopath explains why allergies occur and what works-and doesn't-to alleviate them.
Millions of Americans suffer with allergies, yet medicine has yet to determine exactly what causes a person to be allergic. In this comprehensive book, naturopath Chris D. Meletis examines a wide-range of allergies, including those to foodstuffs, dust and other airborne allergens, and materials like latex and chemicals. He explores theories of why allergies occur and are rising, including the "hygiene hypothesis," which argues that overbathing and overuse of antibiotics and antibacterial agents means our immune systems never build up the necessary resistance to these substances when we are young.

Recenzii

Very highly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Health/Medicine reference collections, Liberation from Allergies provides an informed and informative discussion on both naturopathic and traditional pharmaceutical approaches to the treatment of allergies and the current testing of vaccines for some food allergies.
For general readers, Meletis, a naturopath (Institute for Healthy Aging and National College of Natural Medicine), examines allergies to food, dust, chemical materials, and other airborne allergens to understand why allergies occur and are increasing. He discusses what does and doesn't help allergies, testing, understanding connections between the immune and gastrointestinal systems, symptoms and conditions associated with allergies, eating well and using supplements for prevention and treatment, changing one's living environment, and healthy aging.
