Amazing common sense for a governmental publication 4 out of 5 stars.

This book provides a good baseline start for controlling environmental allergies for parents with highly allergic or asthmatic children. Of course, the parents themselves can also benefit by following the procedures indicated in the book. Two things that I did not find in the book were: a comprehensive plan for dealing with food allergies/food sensivities, and also what nutritional supplements people with allergies/asthma should be taking. Vitamin C should be taken by all people who have allergies and/or asthma, because high doses of Vitamin C block mast cell degranulation, which inhibits histamine release (thus Vitamin C is a natural antihistamine). Also, Vitamin C has bronchodilator effects. For more information about Vitamin C's myriad functions, read the book The Failures of American Medicine.
Editorial Review:
For the parents of the more than 2.7 million American children suffering from asthma comes a state-of-the-art guide to recognizing, understanding, and controlling asthma attacks. From warning signs and triggers to inhalers and other medications, this comprehensive book covers everything a family needs to know.
