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.
