Editorial Review:

Flourishing With Food Allergies: Social, Emotional and Practical Guidance for Families With Young Children is an empowering guide for those who are coping with a food allergy in today s world. By sharing her own personal experiences and successes, as well as those of numerous families, doctors and teachers, author A. Anderson has provided an immense and invaluable compilation of practical experience. The book begins by showcasing fifteen case studies of families who have successfully handled food allergies in their young children. These case studies offer parents and caretakers an opportunity to learn about social, emotional and practical aspects of raising a child with food allergies. Seven additional interviews from a variety of doctors and teachers are provided for professional perspectives, advice and positive support. They describe different experiences, attitudes, and beliefs about the increase in food allergies in children and other disorders that might be affected by food allergies such as asthma and ADHD. This practical and positive guide is not just for parents, Grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, caretakers, pediatricians, therapists, school cafeteria and restaurant workers will learn valuable information about how to handle food allergies and support these children. The book also provides a number of other tools, lists of food ingredients and additives to avoid, school and travel preparedness checklists, and discussions of myth versus fact relative to food allergies. Further, the pros and cons of a 504 Disability Plan are explored and compared with a less formal Action Plan for handling food allergies in children attending school. In addition, Anderson relies upon her personal experience in finding food-free activities and handling food-filled events to further empower families and children cope with food allergy-related issues. All of these tools seek to educate and prepare caretakers both in practical and emotional terms and avoid scare tactics sometimes found in other sources.

Editorial Review:

Beyond A Peanut - Food Allergy Awareness Flashcards teach children and those who provide care for them how to stay safe with peanut and tree nut allergies. These cards help train children, their extended families, friends, coaches, camp councilors , schools, and childcare providers on the safety principles necessary to manage food allergies. Parents of children with nut allergies will read a myriad of books, articles and participate in on line discussion boards. Individuals that are not living with the allergy can not be expected to do the same. Beyond a Peanut Food Allergy Awareness Cards incorporates comprehensive safety information, and delivers it in an easy to learn format. The flashcards introduce cross contamination, the importance of label reading and always carrying emergency medication. This education generates a greater understanding of the safety challenges around the allergy, and why vigilance is necessary to create a safe environment. While many of these flashcards are specific to nut allergies, they have proven to raise the awareness and understanding of all food allergies.

Not for egg and milk allergies 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

This book has recipes with egg. And lots of kids who have milk allergies seem to have milk and egg. There are very few recipes that I found useful. I got very frustrated trying to find something that my son could eat. Sure you can use soy milk but then there is the egg. Does not make any sense to me. There are much better books out there.This one is useless for me.

Not as good as I expected! 3 out of 5 stars.

This book is O.K. and would be helpful to parents provided their child is not sensitive to sugar!! While the author provides substitutes, it would be up to you to "experiment" with the recipes. I for one do not have the time to tinker. My daughter has a sugar cane sensitivity among other things and I'd say that the majority of these recipes contain sugar, and quite a bit at that. I tried the banana loaf cake (this one is made with pure maple syrup)and it was EXTREMELY bland!!! We threw that out and the vinegar choc. cake was an absolute disaster because we had to try and guess at an appropriate substitution for the one cup of sugar! All in all, I wish I hadn't spent the money because there just aren't enough recipes that my daughter can actually eat "as is."

Editorial Review:

Substituting rye flour, carob, almond milk, and other ingredients for foods children may be allergic to, these recipes cover everything from chocolate chip cookies to banana cream pie. Substitution charts tell how to convert recipes into allergen-free delights, and a buying guide shows where to find special ingredients.

Understanding and Learning to Live Well with Food Allergies

Considering that severe allergic reactions can be life-threatening, parents often find that protecting children can be a daunting task–trying to make sure they are safe, while still creating a sense of normalcy as they grow up.

But it can be done. Sorting the truth from the myths and misunderstandings, Caring for Your Child with Severe Food Allergies presents not only pertinent facts but, more important, it helps families cope with the emotional aspects of raising a child at risk for severe food reactions. With compassion and insight, Lisa Cipriano Collins blends her own experiences raising a child with severe peanut and tree-nut allergies with practical observations, interviews with parents, and data from recent medical studies. By learning how to reduce risks while promoting a child’s normal emotional development, parents can address the needs of their allergic child and his or her siblings, as well as their own needs–and work toward a happy, healthy family.

Caring for Your Child with Severe Food Allergies covers:

• Identifying allergies
• Working with schools
• Restaurant and travel concerns
• Encouraging independence
• Finding treatment
• Safety risks and solutions
• Helping your child help himself
• Identifying ingredients

Editorial Review:

NATURAL TREATMENTS FOR A.D.D. ARE A REALITY! Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.) crosses every socio-economic class in America. Everyone knows someone who has it, has had it, or is being tested for it. Since no one knows exactly what the dysfunction is, where it comes from, or how to cure it, it seems reasonable to explore all types of treatment. Drug treatments are well known. A.D.D. The Natural Approach tells us about the pitfalls of using drug treatments on people with attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. Are we creating a society of drug dependent children? The authors, Nina Anderson and Howard Peiper suggest alternatives. A.D.D. The Natural Approach gives the reader a choice. Masking the problem with drugs may serve to create drug dependence. David Winston, Herbalist says, Most often our society is the cause of ADD and ADHD. We feed our children nutritionless pseudo-foods, artificial colors, preservatives and allergenic foods, sit them in front of constant stimulating images of TV and video games and then expect them to sit quietly throughout the school day. We may have created this disease in ourselves and by following the author s suggestions, we may not only lessen the symptoms, but eliminate the problem completely. This book is for the skeptic as well as the believer in natural healing. It makes sense and the information within its covers could change your life and the life of your child. Gillian Martlew, N.D. comments, I am pleased that this simple, down to earth and honest book is available to the public and can be used as a holistic reference for A.D.D. and Hyperactivity, and most especially, that it explains natural solutions that work. Parents, teachers, health professionals and the children will appreciate your contribution. Welcome to the 21st century, says Esteban A. Genao, M.D., F.A.A.P. Pediatrician

NAET WORKS ON AUTISM! 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

Steven, a seven year old autistic child began treatment on the same day when I started my treatment. I distinctly remember his appearance on the first day of his visit in Dr. Devi's office. He was bumping into things and people, had no awareness of the surroundings or people, was flapping his hands, pulling his sleeves, chewing his clothes, running back and forth in the waiting room aimlessly, etc. Then I didn't see him for a while, because we both had appointments at different times. I saw him the other day again, and I couldn't recognize him. His mother said he had 11 treatments. He has not yet treated for immunizations. He was sitting in the TV room with other children and watching TV calmly. What a transformation! I wonder why more people don't look for NAET or take their autistic children to NAET practitioners! Steven's dramatic changes forced me to read this book. What a book! Great information for the parents of autistic children. As usual lots of useful self-help tips for the parents. This book is packed with information. Everyone with an autistic child or relative must read this book. This can give a new meaning to your life.

Editorial Review:

Dr. Nambudripad's breakthrough approach of treating autism is the perfect example of how alternative medicine can offer the perfect solution for this disorder. This book helps you identify the causes and allows you to not only eliminate them but also to lead a productive live.

Editorial Review:

“Eat Different without Seeming Different”.
Help for Children Who Can't Eat Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Corn, Soy, or Nuts.

That’s the goal of this positive, upbeat guide to helping families with allergic or celiac children––and the children's caregivers––manage food sensitivities to wheat, dairy, eggs, corn, peanuts, soy, and other common food allergens.

Written by a mother whose child can't eat wheat or dairy, this book offers practical advice for families of allergic or celiac children, including:

• Latest research and discoveries on food sensitivities

• Advice on reading labels, grocery shopping, and eating out

• Tips on emotional, social, and psychological considerations so your child doesn't feel set apart from others by his food sensitivities

• Pointers to help your child enjoy parties, field trips, and outings

• How to avoid hidden food allergens (Did you know that licorice contains wheat?)

• 100 kid-tested & approved recipes that make your child's food look and taste just like everyone else's

• Plus valuable cooking advice on successfully using substitutes for wheat, gluten, dairy, or eggs. (For example, did you know that flaxseed meal boiled in water makes a great egg substitute in baking?)

• Extensive resources such as mail-order addresses for hard-to-find ingredients, Internet sites, and discussion groups.

The end result is one convenient, easy-to-read, resource-filled volume gleaned from parents of food-sensitive children around the world––as well as the children themselves, who have found that a diet that doesn’t make them sick shouldn’t make them feel different, either.

not much of a self-help book 3 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I'm glad I got this from the library before buying it. This has very little self-help in it. There are other books with more complete and more easily searched self-help sections.
This book might be good if you need to be convinced about the usefulness and benefits of homeopathy for your family, but I'm past that point and got very annoyed at being cautioned on about every other page that I need to work with a trained homeopath and could not possibly do or comprehend more than simple acute care by myself. It was written on behalf of the American Institute of Homeopathy so maybe that explains something. He also cautions ominously against polypharmacy, but never gave any reason or proof why this should be so bad.

Editorial Review:

The American Institute of Homeopathy (AIH) is the oldest medical organization in the United States, founded three years before the American Medical Association. The American Institute of Homeopathy Handbook for Parents is the first AIH publication that offers another option for parents who are reluctant to participate in the widespread extreme measures of conventional medicine such as stimulants, antidepressants, and overuse of antibiotics. Step-by-step Edward Shalts, a medical doctor who practices homeopathic medicine, explains what homeopathy is and how it works. He presents a user-friendly overview of acute and chronic issues and shows how parents can deal with them, either on their own for some problems, or in many cases, with a qualified practitioner. This important resource explains the principles of homeopathy, the nature of remedies, and the appropriate time to use homeopathy.

This Book is a Life saver! 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

My children suffered from many food allergies. Our lives were on a standstill before we found out about NAET. Now after treating all known food and environmental allergies, we have our lives back. we go out to restaurants regularly. I don't have to read the fine labels on the products anymore when I shop in the super market. We can go camping, to the mountains, to the ocean without any trace of our past problems. Thank you Dr. Devi for writing and publishing this book.

It didn't work 1 out of 5 stars.
4 of 9 people found this review helpful.

We spent a lot of time and money on Naet and it simply didn't work.
An accurate blood test showed that none of the allergies that were supposedly cleared are still there. My son still reacts.
Don't waste your money

Unbelievable! It works 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

As a mother to a child with severe allergies, I tried NAET out of sheer desperation. A friend had experienced incredible success in treating (indeed CURING!) her autistic son with NAET. Slightly skeptical, I tried NAET for "clearing" my daughter's allergies. She started to improve almost overnight. It was incredible. She is now enjoying a totally unrestricted diet and is healthy and thriving. This treatment has been a blessing to our entire family. And it all started with this book.
I've already given my copy away and I'm buying another one for a friend.

Medically-proven strategies for parents and caregivers.

The Complete Kid's Allergy & Asthma Guide gives parents a comprehensive, authoritative guide with common-sense guidelines, recommendations and tips on dealing with the asthmatic condition and the multiple allergic problems of children. Developed in collaboration with The Hospital for Sick Children, this book provides the most up-to-date, expert advice available, with easy-to-read information about every aspect of allergy and asthma.

The guide includes: - The most common types of allergic problems - How an allergy or asthma develops - How to minimize allergic reactions - How to avoid allergens and irritants - How to prevent a child's asthma from getting worse - How to prepare for an emergency

For a child who has not yet received a medical diagnosis, The Complete Kid's Allergy & Asthma Guide provides parents with vital information on how to read the signs of allergy and asthma -- from keeping a food diary, to monitoring asthma symptoms, to tracking allergic reactions.

This comprehensive guide offers daily coping strategies (how to check food labels, managing social situations, traveling tips), as well as dealing with more serious aspects of preparing for and handling severe allergic and asthmatic reactions.
