Customer Reviews

Dr. Kwong is wonderful

I'm lucky enough to have Dr. Kwong as my allergist. After my first appointment, I was very impressed by his bedside manner and attentiveness. He conducted the most thorough workup on my health situation that I'd ever had by a doctor. I knew that this would be the beginning of some much needed relief. I read his book after my appointment and it did not disappoint. Like his patient demeanor and friendly approach, his book does a very nice job of explaining allergies in a way that people without a medical or scientific background can understand and relate to.

NOT TO BE MISSED

In a thoroughly modern approach to allergies, leading allergist Dr. Frank Kwong teaches how to be involved in your own care. THE COMPLETE ALLERGY BOOK covers every base, yet is easy to follow and fascinating to read. Being a pack rat, I especially appreciated the chapter "Surveying and Cleaning the Home," which has educated me about clutter. Each chapter offers its own surprises. I have learned that in buying a condo or renting a unit, I should be provided with air ducting design information. I didn't suspect that in some buildings the exhaust from one unit actually becomes the incoming air of the next unit. There is even a chapter on sex and allergies. Yes, you can be allergic to your partner.THE COMPLETE ALLERGY BOOK is a wonderful reference volume for every home. It enlightens and clarifies, and in case of serious trouble can be a lifesaver.

A must have for all Allergy sufferers!

I needed a book that would help me understand my allergies and how to live with them. This book was exactly what I was looking for. The author uses easy to understand terms that makes it an enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that suffers from some sort of allergy.
