Tami says: "
Having suffered from undiagnosed allergies for most of my childhood, and recently being diagnosed with asthma-like symptoms from these allergies, I found this book to be very helpful with dealing with allergy problems with my kids. I felt like I was armed with some information while talking with my son's doctor, instead of going into the appointment not knowing anything about what that doctor was talking about. While this book is not a substitute for medical attention, it is a helpful guide."
