Customer Reviews

If you have allergies, you need this book!

I got this book about two weeks after my 9-year-old son suffered his first asthma attack. After reading it, I feel much better prepared to cope with his condition. The author's tone is reassuring without being condescending. And there is an enormous amount of information, everything from how to choose a specialist to charts describing the effects and usual dosages of the most common medications. Since I have been suffering from allergies and sinus problems myself this spring, it was especially useful. I think this might be the best investment in our family's health I ever made!

Allergies and Asthma for Dummies

Finally, a book that quickly synthesizes complex information into usable pieces! Allergies and asthma are de-mystified with practical examples. Dr. Berger's approach is uplifting, reassuring, and warm. No preaching or insistance that you do things his way or no way as in the case of so many other authors of asthma and allergy books.
