Written by Dr Joanne Clough, a senior lecturer in respiratory medicine, Allergies is an authoritative handbook covering a broad range of conditions. It provides information on therapies and management of allergies, as well as what to do in an emergency.
The number of people who suffer from allergies has risen steadily over the last fifty years. In fact, 15 million people are sniffing, wiping and scratching right now.
Dr Rob Hicks considers the multitude of causes and the best ways to reduce or stop the symptoms, so that you can take control and feel free again, from simple ideas like eating local honey and wearing wraparound sunglasses to reduce hay fever symptoms to keeping a food diary to check that your ‘‘allergy’‘ is not, in fact, an intolerance.

The power of steam de-greases and deep-cleans naturally. Vaporetto has eliminated the need to use chemical cleaning products to get rid of dirt, dust mites and allergies: you can now deep-clean the home without polluting, using the power of steam alone.
Steam temperature and pressure are capable of detaching and dissolving dirt, eliminating bacteria and dust mites as well, which are so often responsible for allergic reactions.
The tests carried out by Cambridge University and Lyon Dermatological Hospital has demonstrated the effectiveness of Polti steam against dust mites (eliminated 98%) and allergens (eliminated 86%). In addition, the British Allergy Foundation awarded Vaporetto its “Seal of Approval” for its effectiveness in eliminating mites.

First published in 1989, this book has remained the widely acknowledged ‘gold standard’ in the field of food allergy and intolerance. This new 4th edition published in 2008 — the first new edition in 10 years — is completely rewritten and contains an abundance of new material based on recent research. It supplies valuable information that cannot be found on the Internet, or can only be found by reading dozens of scientific papers that are difficult for the lay person to make sense of.
This book gives a comprehensive, thorough, unbiased and sensible account of food intolerance that can guide you through all the controversies. It is written in language that anyone can understand, and is carefully designed to help readers follow the various different diagnostic diets. With this book you can work out if you really have food intolerance, and what foods you should be avoiding in order to alleviate your symptoms. At the same time, the book contains sufficient detail and analysis of the evidence to make it useful to doctors, dietitians, allergy nurses, alternative therapists and others who see patients with food sensitivities.
Allergy is becoming more common. The number of people affected has risen dramatically since the early 1970s and it continues to increase. As many as one in three people in the UK now suffer from a medical problem caused by or associated with allergy. This increase has occurred because many of the factors thought to be responsible for causing allergies are related to the Western lifestyle, many of which seem to be especially potent in small children.
This book explains what happens in the body when an allergy occurs. It also describes the different ways of diagnosing allergy and discusses the different treatments available.
