Allergy is generally misunderstood. It can show up as almost any symptom, but is rarely diagnosed. Left untreated it can lead to serious degenerative disease. Asthma, migraines, arthritis, ulcers and obesity have all been linked to allergy. Fatigue, irritability, body aching, digestive problems and other vague ailments are typical of allergy. Allergies: Disease in Disguise is the first book ever to explain how to achieve complete and permanent recovery. Drugs may relieve or manage symptoms but will never make a person well. Alternative, healthful treatments, based on an understanding of what allergy is and how it works in the body, can heal the underlying allergic condition so that no further treatment of any kind is required. Dr. Bateson-Koch provides insight into why allergy is becoming more common, how it relates to environmental factors, food additives, diet, digestion, body chemistry, addiction, yeasts, molds, parasites and childhood illnesses -- and why enzymes are the key to healing. Following her program, you won't have to give up your pet, get allergy shots, rotate foods, keep diet diaries or cook allergy-free recipes for the rest of your life. You will not only recover and enjoy an allergy-free life, you will gain invaluable understanding of health and well-being.
