Welcome
To Our
Allergy and Asthma
Information Page!
Hello! Our family suffers with allergies and asthma,
and we have tried medications, testing,
nutrition and alternative methods.
I wanted to create a page with the information I have learned,
and valuable links to help you with your allergy and asthma troubles.
I hope you find the success we have!

We have two boys who had a variety of the above problems,
and the doctors had no advice for us, other than to continue to give us
medication after medication that did NOT help.
Unwilling to accept that my children would be constantly sick and ill-behaved,
we started investigating the relationship between food, chemicals and our health.
Listed below are some great resources that really helped us!
| Dr. Rapp - Is This Your Child - Discovering and Treating Unrecognized Allergies This book has been invaluable to us and I consider it a must-read for any parent! |
Allergies and the Breastfeeding Family A great article, detailing the allergy process. Very helpful, even if you aren't breastfeeding. Don't pass this one up! | RAST versus ELISA Testing Read here for a description of the differences to help you decide which one. |
