Book Description
Allergic diseases affect nearly one-fourth of the population and cause or contribute to significant chronic illness. Allergic diseases are common and are seen by a wide variety of health care providers. In Clinical Allergy: Diagnosis and Management, the author provides a practical clinical overview for the common disorders encountered in the specialty of Allergy. Designed to be easily readable and to provide clinically applicable information for both the nonallergist and allergist, the intent is to unravel the mystery of allergy. The introductory chapters focus on the human immune response, environmental allergens, and the different types of allergy testing. The subsequent chapters focus on the common allergic conditions seen in the office or clinic, including rhinitis and rhinosinusitis, allergic eye disease, asthma, urticaria and angioedema, atopic and contact dermatitis, drug allergy, food allergy, anaphylaxis, and stinging insect allergy. "Cross-talk" between chapters helps show the interrelationships among the various allergic disorders. The chapters begin with a review of pathophysiologic mechanisms and then consider a clinically structured approach to diagnosis and management of the disorders. In addition to pharmacologic treatment, the importance of nonpharmacologic management and patient education is emphasized. At the end of each chapter, clinical vignettes highlight the daily management of the allergic patient. Clinical Allergy: Diagnosis and Management, provides a logical framework for the evaluation and management of allergic disorders in patients.

STOP a LifeTime of Medicating ALLERGY Symptoms !
> While the Progression of Your ALLERGY Disease Continues …
> Leading to a LifeTime, Slippery Slope of further recalcitrant Multi-Diseases, Health Complications and Compromised Quality of LIFE ( Ouch ! ).

ALLERGIES Weaken Immune System & Steal Capacity to Fight What Really Matters !
IT goes without saying that it is Very Important to Keep Your Immune System at PEAK Performance.
Many of us Try our Best to Eat Properly, take Supplements, Exercise Regularly, Get the right amount of Sleep and perhaps practice Stress Relief Techniques such as Yoga, Prayer or Meditation.
Unfortunately, Today’s Fast Paced, High Stress World often Chips Away at our best Efforts often leaving our Immune System in Less than a Peak Performance State of Affair.
One often overlooked aspect of Immune System Health relates to our ALLERGIES and how they compromise the overall Health of our ( and our Children’s ) Immune System.
Try as we might to Control their nagging and draining Symptoms by taking multiple Medications, those pesky ALLERGIES just keep right on coming and coming… They just Do NOT Go Away !
While in the past, ALLERGIES have barely been a Blip on the Medical Radar Screen, regarded as a nuisance, only to be tolerated and controlled by taking Medications… …
Today… More and More….
ALLERGIES and the multiple Diseases that they instigate over the course of a LifeTime are being recognized for the True Enemy to an Individuals Immune System / Health that they ARE !
Beginning in the Womb and manifesting itself immediately after Birth ( 1 in 3 Infants ), Allergies account for more office visits to Pediatricians than any other ailment, besides the common Cold ( Q&A: When is a Cold NOT a Cold ? When it’s Allergies. ).
Allergies are responsible for more missed school days than any other medical problem. It is thought that at least one out of every four children has an allergy of some kind. Allergies are often Inherited. Lending credence to the old saying That the Child Allergy Apple Does Not Fall Far from the Parent Allergy Tree. Statistics show that a child with one allergic parent has a 45-50% chance of developing allergies, and the likelihood rises to between 65-70% if both parents have allergies. Remarkably, even if both parents are allergy-free, offspring will still run an allergy risk of 10-15%.
For far to long, ALLERGIES have been regarded as merely a Nuisance, Ignored or “Treated” with Medications which Only mask Symptoms and Do Nothing to Derail / Neutralize the Progression of a Sufferer’s Allergy Disease Source.
While Allergy rarely Kills ( unless you count Allergic Asthma Attack Deaths ), as UnTreated / UnNeutralized Allergy Progresses thru it’s various Disease States, it compromises not only a Sufferers LifeTime of Health, but every aspect of their Personal, Family, Academic, Social, Exercise and Professional Quality of Life.
It is IMPORTANT to Remember that…
24 / 7/ 365 / ALLERGY is a LifeTime > Cumulative, Progressive Chronic AutoImmune Disease.
UnTreated ALLERGY Continues / Exacerbates…
Leading to Unabated Disease Progression…
And a LifeTime, Slippery Slope of further multiple Diseases, Health Complications, Weakened Immune System
and severely Compromised Quality of Health.
Thus Said….
Your Immune System Only has a certain amount of “ Capacity “ to Fight ALL the Diseases, Foreign Invaders, Bacteria, Germs, Viruses that it encounters EveryDay …
As such, it is IMPORTANT that Your Immune System is NOT “ Distracted “ OR some of it’s limited Disease Fighting “ Capacity “ Consumed to Fight Harmless things like Grass / Tree / Weed Pollens, Insect, Dust Mite, Mold Allergens etc > Namely ALLERGIES.
What many Allergy / Allergic Asthma Sufferers Do Not Know……
Is that they CAN Free Up that amount of Immune System Capacity which has been designated to Fight 24 / 7 / 365 / A LifeTime their Allergy Disease….
