High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A food allergy is an adverse immune response to a food protein. Food allergy is distinct from other adverse responses to food, such as food intolerance, pharmacologic reactions, and toxin-mediated reactions. The food protein triggering the allergic response is termed a food allergen. It is estimated that up to 12 million Americans have food allergies, and the prevalence is rising. Six to eight percent of children under the age of three have food allergies and nearly four percent of adults have them. Food allergies cause roughly 30,000 emergency room visits and 100 to 200 deaths per year in the United States. The most common food allergies in adults are shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and eggs, and the most common food allergies in children are milk, eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts. Treatment consists of either immunotherapy (desensitisation) or avoidance, in which the allergic person avoids all forms of contact with the food to which they are allergic. ... Read more

Colic no more!
This is the only book I have found that helps you to SAFELY rid your baby of colic and colic like behavior. It is Homeopathic. Don't ask, "how's it work?" Just trust that it does and is safe for your child. I have owned about 5 copies of this booklet, each has found it's way to parents in need. I hope to hang on to my current copy, as it is getting harder and harder to find. So, if you have found a copy, I suggest you buy it without hesitation!

Disappointing
Nothing new here, a homeopath might as well use their regular homeopathic repertory and materia medica. No contemporarycase studies by the author. The book seems to mostly address babies and children, however so many adults have lactose intolerance, and the remedies I've seen work best for them after a lot of trial and errorwould not be found or selected by the standard information in this book. It's hard to tell who the targetaudience is for this book: desperate parents who should probably not be trying homeopathy at home unsupervised on their baby, beginning homeopathy students, or ??The best use of this book might be to suggest to parents of colicky babies and children that they should consider professional homeopathy as a treatment option for permanent resolution, and perhaps cite an acute remedy or two for painful colic that could be given just until the family could get to the homeopath for consultation. I would hate to see homeopaths working to find the right permanent remedy for the baby, child, or adult patient with colic or lactose intolerance, by restricting themselves to the information given in this book, thinking it's an adequate specialized survey of the subject.Nat Mur for example is extremely underrated in this area, which we would find upon exploring actual clinical cases, Nat Mur's emotional patterns and default methods for handling sress (which is often to quietly repress or "stuff" it, i.e. somaticize the stress). ...
