Not a good first impression
What I like about this book is that the ingredients are easy to find, the recipes are not complicated, lots of photos, brief comments about the cookies on some recipes, great tips, and allergy information.

So, today I came across the "Pumpkin Pick-Ups" recipe.The photo looks like a thin, crusty type pumpkin cookie. Now I can hold my own when it comes to sugary sweets, but this was WAAAY too sweet! I threw it out. The consistency was more like pie and not one of the crusty looking pumpkin cookie slice (p. 201). I used un-sweetened rice milk, which is still naturally quite sweet. So adding sugar to that, was yucky sweet. This basically crustless pumpkin pie had just as much sugar as a real pumpkin pie. I did follow the recipe exactly, minus the flax meal. Maybe that was the differnce in texture.

Over-all, that was not a good first impression of the book, but I am willing to try a few more recipes.

A lot of allergy friendly options
This book has a lot of allergy friendly recipes.As with any allergy friendly recipes, they are not all great, but it is nice to have a selection.

pretty awesome
this book is very easy to follow and everything i have made so far has turned out awesome.

Breath of fresh air!
After making the "Mini-ficent Pancakes" for breakfast this morning, and having my non-allergic husband come in and say, "Which ones are mine?" I was reminded that I had to come and write a review for this book.The pancakes look so appealing, you could not tell the difference between the allergen-free ones and the just add water ones I was also making for the rest of the family.
I have two children with multiple, severe, food allergies, among them wheat, gluten, dairy, soy, and corn, which any allergy mom knows, excludes seemingly all baking ingredients, and many of their usual substitutes.Prior efforts at pancakes and other desserts were so complex (unknown and hard to find long lists of ingredients), time-consuming, and ugly/poor tasting, that it had been a while since I even attempted making any treats for my two "bubble babies" :)
In contrast, this book has simple (few ingredients), easy-to-follow, and tasty recipes that allow you for onces to feel adequate in feeding your kids something they are begging for and able to enjoy.My kids got to see what it was like for their non-allergic sister to be asking for their food/treats, instead of the other way around.At Thanksgiving, they could have sugar cookies (that they helped decorate) and pumpkin pie, rather than having no dessert at all.
If you know the frustration of trying to cook for people with allergies, this book will be a breath of fresh air and renew your hope and energy in trying to make life and food a little more "normal".

Product Description
For nearly two million years, humans and our hominid ancestors were eating in the hunter/gatherer style of foraging for a wide variety of healthy fruits and vegetables and then hunting and scavenging for large game. However, about 9,000 years ago, humans started eating in a manner contrary to their design, while living increasingly sedentary lives.In The Evolution Diet: All-Natural and Allergy Free, Joseph SB Morse shows how we can achieve ultimate health by emulating our ancestors' hunter/gatherer lifestyle. You're about to embark on an insightful, and often humorous journey to discover how humans evolved to eat, what cultureless humans would eat, and how we can use that knowledge with today's technology and wealth to develop the ideal diet. Included in this edition is a detailed section on the most common food allergies and intolerances: dairy, egg, peanut, seafood, shellfish, soy, tree nut, and wheat (including celiac).The benefits of The Evolution Diet are immediate and include attaining an ideal weight, achieving balanced energy throughout the day, better sleep, and alleviation of symptoms from food intolerances and allergies.If you've been asking yourself what and how we were designed to eat, Morse's The Evolution Diet is the answer. ...

I love this diet
I work with people to maximize their diets and I've worked with 100's of different eating plans, from Atkins to the Zone. I have to say, this is better than anything else on the market. This third edition includes great information about food intoleraces and allergies and provides a wealth of food options that fit within the "All-Natural and Allergy Free" life. The other content is there too, but if you have celiac, egg or nut allergies, dairy intolerances, this is the book for you. Some of my clients have said that it's a lifesaver.

A doctor a day keeps the apples away
Being a doctor, I'm inundated with requests from pharmaceutical companies to promote this or give away that and I constantly am influenced to keep the patients coming back (especially if they have a good insurance program). But I know that we don't have a health care system, we have a sick care system that aims at keeping people sick and thus dependent on the medical profession. It's a bittersweet emotion for me as a doctor that benefits from the system and also someone who has hypochondriac relatives.

That's why it's refreshing to read a perspective that opposes my "doctor a day keeps the apples away," mentality. Morse's Evolution Diet makes it clear how to live a natural and allergy-free life and keep the DOCTORS away. It's not easy for a lot of people-those on the inject McDonalds in mouth then take pill to alleviate symptoms from too much junk food diet--but it's worth it. Once you get on the natural diet (the way you were designed to eat), you will feel so good, you won't want to give it up even for something that used to taste good like French Fries.

The latests edition here is chalk full of useful and entertaining info. I will recommend it to all of my patients as an alternative to the ubiquitous pharmaceutical. ... Read more

Alternative Approach to what's bothering you!
Decades ago, the medical community decided that allergens would only be defined as such if they provoked an immune system reaction (rash, swelling, throat closing up!). But there was a lot of research showing that many foods cause symptoms in people that mimic the addiction cycle (an "excitement" to the system when first taken, a "struggling" of the body to adjust while building tolerance and, thereby, causing stress to the whole system, and then "withdrawal symptoms" when the food is not taken.) The premise here is that these "addiction-like" symptoms also come from food allergies, even though they are not currently identified as "allergic reactions" by the greater medical community. If you've ever had terrible food cravings, or felt awful until you were able to get the foods you felt your body "needed", (or felt a strange kinship with addicts, even though you don't use addicting drugs!) this book may give you insights that you may not get anywhere else.

From The Dark Ages to 21st Century Medicine
After being plagued with skin problems, headaches, tiredness, hay fever, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), depression, etc., etc., etc. for much of my late teens and all of my adult life, and going to over fifteen regular allergists and M.D.s for much of my forty-five years, I read Randolph's book: An Alternative Approach To Allergies.

Realizing that Dr. Randolph had discovered a major piece to the health-puzzle, I finally went to a M.D. in New York who changed the entire basis of his practice from being a "classically trained" allergist to a transformed Clinical Ecologists M.D. After being diagnosed with MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity) and delayed food allergies--for which I was tested--I removed all the offending chemicals from my home and work environment; I also eliminated the foods causing delayed allergic reactions: The improvement in my health was rapid and live-changing.

Thinking such may be psychosomatic, I went back to eating my delayed allergic foods and returned to using normal household chemical products, e.g., Tide, bleach, Comet, fabric softener, Cling, perfumed soaps, etc., and, within a few days, all my chronic health symptoms returned with a vengeance. I once again eliminated such foods and chemicals from my diet/environment, and with five days I was much better.

Today, five months after visiting the NY Clinical Ecologist, I have all the energy of a 20 year old; am sleeping far less and feel more rested; exercise five days a week (I had little to no energy to do this in the past); my headaches are gone; my IBS has improved to a point where I do not even notice it; I am not experiencing hay fever any longer (I can now own a cat which before I could not even enter a room where a cat resided because within minutes I was itching and becoming tired); and my depression is a thing of the past. And since my life-changing experience, I have introduced many others to this new way of treating food and chemical allergies: All have had similar improvements in health as I experience--without exception.

I thank the late Dr. Randolph for writing this wonderful book and for establishing the branch of Medicine Clinical Ecology and educating doctors regarding MCS and delayed food allergies...and thank you Dr. W. of NY for your diagnosis, treatment and compassion.

I can say from experience--and vastly improved health--the information in Dr. Randolph's book clearly takes the medical field in the area of food and chemical allergies from the Dark Ages into the 21st Century. I only hope more classically trained allergy doctors will read Dr. Randolph's book and make a transition from Dark Age medicine to 21st Century medicine.

Theron Randolph rocks...!
This book saved my life....

I have MCS from hell and I would never have beaten it without discovering Randolph's sane and elegant approach.

The case studies enabled me to understand what was happening with my hyper-reactions to chemicals and foods....

...AND to see how my mental and physical dysfunctions were related to my environmental exposures....

...I am 'almost' well now thanks to Dr Randolph

Essential information for everyone
Dr. Theron Randolph was the foremost pioneer in his day of allergy theory, diagnosis, and treatment.Over the years, much has changed in the world of allergy treatment.Dr. Randolph's theories are still pretty solid, and give the layperson or medical professional a sound foundation for understanding allergy and chemical sensitivity.Everyone should be aware of the facts presented in this book, because everyone in the world is affected by the pollution in our world.

That said, the diagnosis methods Dr. Randolph used, though a vast improvement over what else was available at the time, are nowadays unnecessary.There are very gentle and quick methods for diagnosing allergies, but they are outside the scope of mainstream medicine.

The treatment methods are challenging, to say the least.Avoiding what you are allergic to seems like a no-brainer these days.However, it is far easier said than done, in fact, it borders on the impossible.Strict diets like the rotation diet mentioned in this book are very difficult to maintain, as well as socially isolating and psychologically exhausting.

There are ways for completely transforming allergies without injections or dilutions administered as drops under the tongue.Mainstream medicine, however, will never help you find these methods!Whether or not you are interested in subjecting yourself or your loved ones to the diagnosis and treatment delineated in this book, the understanding of allergies you can find here is invaluable.Highly recommended reading, though the treatment and diagnosis methods are not neccesarily recommended.

comprehansive (enviromental and nutritional)anti allergy boo
this book was written by the father of the enviromental and nutritional allergy.it represents the causes of allergy and shows how it began (from enviroment&from wrong nutritional habits as well as from the chemicalsin food).there is also a chemical quastionary in this book in order todetect the poisionous chemicals and a rotatory diet plus other explainedtips and strategies against allergy.headache/deppresion/arthritis/ are onlysome of the diseases that are considered symptoms of food and orenviromental allergy. the ways that the author is sujesting in this bookare very practical,and eventhough they demmand (at the begining of theplan)a lot of attention,it is very practical for the allergy sufferers=i asa orthomolecular-nutritionist see the resoults with my patients.very highlyrecommanded! ...

Helped me with food and chemical sensitivities
This book was a godsend of help for my MCS and food reactions. I react far less intensely and less frequently after doing those energy balancing techniques. And the supplement suggestions were great. I also benefited from doing a phone consult with Prof. Rochlitz. And he just came out with a new book for us MCS, EMFS and food reactors. It's about how we may have underlying porphyria, and to help with that. See the site, [...].

But this classic, Allergies and Candida has stood the test of time, and is highly recommended!

A well written reference book
I'm on my second reading of this excellent book.I'm sure I'm so fascinated with it because it describes my condition and some very good solutions that the author has developed and perfected over the years.I'm looking forward to implimenting them as soon as I learn the techniques described.

Excellent - the allergy/sensitivity testing is on the money
This book led me to read the ingredients on my toothpaste. Everyday, twice a day, I was sabotaging my health by brushing my teeth.Although Toms of Main toothpaste is a really great toothpaste (my dentist noticed my cleaner teeth), it is made with Xylitol - which as explained in the ingredients list is derived from Birch.I read the label on my toothpaste after using the testing techniques and finding not only a weak muscle, but that my whole arm went weak (from just holding the tube of toothpaste). According to my allergist Birch is my worst allergy. I no longer feel like falling asleep during the day (at least in the mornings after I would brush my teeth) and at night I am sleeping better.I am working on the Candida and other allergy issues now.Some of the directions get a little confusing but even his basic exercises are very helpful.

This book is a must read for anyone interested in health
This book is a must read for anyone interested in health, not just those with allergies or candida.It contains information you could spend years searching for plus insights from the author you will not find anywhere else.

I use the techniques in the book on a daily basis to increase my mental clarity and physical stamina.

If you are sick or just want to stay healthy and feel great, get this book.

A Great Guide For Getting Well
In the course of my more than 13 years of battling with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I have read literally hundreds of "health books".I have come to judge these books on whether or not they contain useful, practical information, and if applying the information results in a significant improvement to my health.After reading this book and following the principles it explains, I went from spending days to weeks at a time barely able to get out of bed, to working fulltime and resuming a normal lifestyle.This is one of the very few books I have ever read that effectively addresses the usual collection of otherwise "incurable" chronic illnesses, which have become so widespread.I would wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone who is seriously interested in overcoming one of these chronic illnesses.Wishing you the best of health! ...

My daughter loves this book!
My daughter is 3 1/2, loves princesses, and is allergic to peanuts and almonds.She LOVES this books, and wants me to read it over and over and over!

Some of it is a little silly, like how the main charactor didn't know her best friend was allergic (didn't she have a peanut-free lunch table?)...and how she asked for the cake to be made with out peanuts, in a bakery that uses peanuts, without worries about cross-contamination.BUT, that might be too complex for kids to understand, so I think this is a great book for preschoolers, and am buying an extra copy for my daughter's class.

princess and the peanut allergy
Love the book-my son even likes it--story well written-lets children know there are options and friends can celebrate together even when there are severe food allergies!!

My 3 year old loved it!
Came quickly and was in perfect condition.We recently found out my 3 year old princess has a peanut allergy.We wanted to find a book she could relate to.This book was perfect!Princesses, cake, and in the end... no peanuts.

Excellent
The Princess and the Peanut Allergy is an excellent resource for any child with a peanut allergy. My daughter is 2 1/2 years old and loves the book. She is starting now to understand her allergy so much better. It is a great educational tool.

A great book for kids with food restrictions!
This book addresses food allergies from the viewpoint of a child not personally dealing with them.Regina is planning a birthday party, and becomes very upset that her best friend won't be able to come because of a food allergy.(Her friend tearfully tells her dad she wishes she could keep her allergy secret, and her dad is supportive that she did the right thing.)The book ends with the realization that the important thing is to keep everyone safe and have fun.

While not all kids can have such a perfect ending to food allergy outings, kids will see their own fears and frustrations addressed and dealt with by other kids their age.They also will see a satisfactory ending without any hard lessons involving epi pens and ambulances.

A great book to share with classmates, or in a group with a food allergic individual.(Or to use in any lesson plan dealing with tolerance and compromise) ... Read more

Product Description

For children with food allergies, eating -- one of the basic functions of life -- can be a nightmare. Children who suffer or become dangerously ill after eating peanuts, seafood, milk, eggs, wheat, or a host of other foods require constant vigilance from caring, concerned parents, teachers, and friends.

In this empathetic and comprehensive guide, Dr. Scott H. Sicherer, a specialist in pediatric food allergies, gives parents the information they need to manage their children's health and quality of life. He describes why children develop food allergy, the symptoms of food allergy (affecting the skin, the gastrointestinal tract, and the respiratory system), and the role of food allergy in behavioral problems and developmental disabilities. Parents will learn how to recognize emergency situations, how to get the most out of a visit with an allergist, what allergy test results mean, and how to protect their children -- at home, at school, at summer camp, and in restaurants.

Informative, compassionate, and practical, this guide will be indispensable for parents, physicians, school nurses, teachers, and everyone else who cares for children with food allergies.

Good resource
This is a good book.There is much more information in this book in regards to anaphylactic reactions than the gastroentestinal upset (eosinophilic esophagitis)kind of allergy.I brought it to my allergist and they knew the author and highly recommended this book too.

Allergy experts are not always available
He does a good job describing the various reactions and problems a parent can have dealing with a child's food allergies. He overemphasizes the physician's role. It is the parent who has to look out for the child not the physician who sees the child every few months as a patient. He promotes the "hygiene hypothesis" as the cause of the sudden rise in food allergies among children. I had thought the book was pretty good until I got to that point. He also doesn't explore the possibility that trace amounts of food protein from the culture medium and vaccine adjuvants in vaccinations could contribute to the growing problem of food allergies.

Excellent book
I am a physician and I can assure you, this is the best book out there to get clear prospective and understanding about food allergies.
Each chapter has clear focus, breadth of knowledge that gives vital information and suggests remedial actions to prevent allergic reaction.
I love the book. Even medical school dont prepare you for your kids food allergies. No one in our family had it. Thanks for writing this excellent book.

The Best Food Allergy Book I've Read
Ditto everyone else's 5 star reviews.A fantastic book for parents and extended family members of the food allergic child.Sicherer write in a clear and concise manner, explaining all one needs to know. My child has food allergies, including Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES), and I've done a lot of research and am active in an online FA support group.This book explains it all, even stuff I didn't already know. His FPIES section is excellent. I keep this book on out for quick access, as I often use it as a reference.

allergy self help book
ALLERGYSELFHELPBOOK Outstanding.A book that was way ahead of it's time (progressive and ahead of the masses) when it was written.It is accurate helping you understand the many day to day products that can be making you allergic.HIGHLYRECOMMENDTHIS! A must read for anyone with allergies or stuffed up nose all the time.

Allergy Self Help Book
This is a great book! It simplifies allergies so that the layperson can start doing something about allergy problems. Just the list of allergy symptoms helps educate patients about how they are being influenced by their allergies. I suggest that all of my TMJ and Orthodontic patients purchase the Allergy Self Help Book.
The book shows non invasive common sense methods for controling allergy problems. Unfortunately, many physicians and dentists are not aware of the severe effects allergies can have on their patients so patients have to educate themselves fully.
It is especially important that parents protect their children from the harmful effects of allergies such as decreased nasal breathing and neck problems.

A very educational book on allergies!
I got this book from the library after a friend of mine had gotten it and knows of my anxiety trouble.She begged me to get this book and knowing of my many allergies including shots as a child I got this book and low andbehold - I have seen the light.I'm trying to purchase one as I have toreturn this to the library but I recommend this book to anyone havinghealth trouble, it willreally open up your eyes to things you would neverdream of. ...

A Reader
It's a very informative book.I like to reference it whenever I can to remind me of all the things to avoid.I have an older version of this book and this updated version really opened my eyes to alternative methods to helping me with my allergies.Although some of their methods may be unconventional to some, at least they give you all the options that are available to allergy suffers like me.The medicine that doctors give you only treat the symptoms they don't help you in the long run.This book reaches beyond the medical field into alternative methods that many people don't think about.
I didn't realize that corn was in so many things.It's in more items than wheat is.Anyone with wheat allergies know that it's hard to avoid.Corn is even harder to avoid, it's in almost every processed food item.This book lists all the items to look out for which contain corn, wheat, soy, ect.It's a must read for anyone wanting to learn more about allergies and what to expect.

The system wouldn't allow me to give it zero stars...
I've had a difficult case of rhinitis lately. I read much of this book hoping to find helpful information. I'm sure that some of what's in this large volume is useful, but much of the diagnoses and treatment recommendations have little or no support in the medical or scientific community. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity/Environmental Illness is heavily promoted as a cause of sickness, although the AMA and other medical associations don't recognize any such condition. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology has a nice position statement about the subject on its website, and a convincing refutation of the theory can be found in a 1996 article by Michael Fumento in Reason Magazine (Reasononline).

The book seems as much a polemic against industrial society and modern living as it is a medical self-help book.

The authors work in a practice together, or at least did at the time the book was written. One of them is apparently a physician, but she doesn't refer to herself as an allergist.

If you like to be frightened and prefer the opinions of some alternative therapists to those of the medical community, then buy this book. But be prepared to position the headboard of your bed to the north so as to take advantage of the electromagnetic polarity of the earth, to remove all electrical appliances from your bedroom, and to detoxify yourself of pollutants through the administration of coffee enemas. Yes these are among the many suggestions in the book. The authors don't entirely tell you to have the amalgam fillings removed from your head; they at least cite the consensus opinion that the extent of mercury exposure is harmless. But they give equal time to the opinions of the small minority who claim that such fillings are toxic.

Allergies adversely affect the quality of life for many people. Sufferers want to understand the causes of their symptoms and how to avoid them. In my opinion, they would be better served elsewhere.

Great book for sinus sufferers
This book opened my eyes to a whole new world of information.Most important to me was the sinus washing ,it opens up your sinuses like when you were a baby.Sinus washing should be part of ones daily hygeine.

A Tremendous Help for your Sinuses!
As a long-time sufferer of chronic sinusitis (7 years), I've spent the last three years in and out of doctors and specialists trying to rectify the situation.There's a saying that to defeat your enemy, you must know them which is why I picked up Dr. Josephson's book.It's truly a relief as he describes a lot of the insidious aches, pains and embarrasments a sinus-sufferer goes through, makes you feel as if you're not alone.The book not only provides empathy and support but a tremendous amount of physiological information for you to understand your illness.The quiz and treatment plan then gives you several ways and a multitude of treatments to manage the issue given sinus problems are often life-long.

While I only got a lot of value from about half the book, it was only because of the serious amount of research and doctors I've been through over the last three years.For newly discovered sinus sufferers, this book may be eye-opening and a true life-saver that will short-cut you to the necessary treatment plan more quickly.The wealth of information, while a bit slow at times, is really necessary for the patient to work with your primary care physician or specialist to alleviate the situation.And that's probably one of the best points made by Dr. Josephson.Without a informed and knowledgeable patient, even the best doctor's will have some challenges making the correct diagnosis.If you have sinus issues, buy this book to give you and your MD the best chances at bringing you back to full health and happiness!Best of luck to you all...

Long on Anatomy, short on What do to
This book was recomended by Seth Godin, the marketing guru, and I love his work so I bought it. I could not get through the whole thing because the first 70 pages goes into immense detail about the anatomy of the sinuses to the point where no one would care and most of the rest of the chaptersdid not apply to me (e.g. special cases, morbidly obese, etc.) There is some helpful information about irrigating your sinuses, which I am now doing, but the book could have been 200 pages shorter and I would have gotten just as much out of it. ...

Great information - good starter book!!
Having recently discovered that I have multiple sensitivities (gluten, dairy, soy, and egg) I felt overwhelmed with where to start and what to do.This book was such a lifesaver!! Practical, helpful information and most of all great encouragement.I especially found helpful a few pages about handling all the food prep needed while still working full-time!! So for me, this book could have had a better title - so much more than a cookbook!!In fact, I haven't really viewed it as a cookbook, although the easy recipes also inspired me.True, many of the recipes must be adapted for multiple allergies, but also many suggestions were made on the variety of ways to adapt any recipes.I highly recommend this book for anyone newly diagnosed or investigating food allergies.

This is NOT allergy-free
I don't understand this cookbook, it says allergy-free yet almost every recipe has a main offender: gluten (through wheat, barley or potentially oats), milk or nuts. All of the bread recipes say wheat, rye, barley or oat flour (HELLO gluten). It does give you some ideas for gluten-free flour mixes in the beginning of the book, but how will I know what mix to use for what recipe? Besides the gluten, most recipes call for nuts or milk. What gets me is it talks about substitutions but how can I substitute nuts if the recipe's main ingredient is nuts! How about - "nut butter granola bars","pecan balls","raisin nut cookies", "chocolate crunch nut butter bars", "honey nut raisin cookies" - mind you, these are 5 out of 6 recipes IN A ROW (and wouldn't you know it, that 6th recipe has nuts as an optional ingredient). Why would an allergy free cookbook have so many allergens? There is some good information in the beginning of where to find potential allergens and hidden foods etc. I could just use that to learn about allergies in general and then use a normal recipe book to try and make my own sustitutions.

allergy free cookbook
Great informative book. Not all of the recipes however are allergy free, many still contain some of the popular allergens. ... Read more

Product Description
Discovering one of her sons had a life-threatening allergy to nuts and eggs catapulted Alice Sherwood into the bewildering world of "food allergies." How can you make a birthday cake without flour? What happens to family meals when packaged foods, which may contain traces of nuts, along with pasta, bread, and peanut butter become forbidden? Suddenly it became crucial to find alternatives, but most "cooking without" recipes lacked taste or contained unfamiliar ingredients that were hard to find. So Alice, armed with a lifelong love of food, got to work in the kitchen and devised her own recipes.

The Allergy-Free Cookbook is unique. There are no dismal, "special diet" versions of recipes, which don't work. Instead there are dishes from around the world that center on ingredients other than eggs, dairy, gluten, and nuts. Throughout, Alice gives several variations for each recipe. So a nut-free cake that uses butter, for example, may be adapted for the dairy-free crowd by using soy spread.

The Allergy-Free Cookbook has more than 100 recipes for meals, snacks, and lunchboxes as well as for suppers and birthday parties. All the crowd-pleasing favorites are here. By experimenting with polenta and potato flour, for example, Alice has invented a gluten-free crunchy shortcrust pastry that's superb in apple tarts, while rice, potato, and tapioca flours combine to form a dough that works a treat for French bread. With the Allergy-Free Cookbook, everyone's invited to dinner! ... Read more

Love it!
I love this cookbook!It is very simple to "read" and follow/understand the recipes.I had started to run out of ideas of meals to make that had some variety in them as well as being milk free for my son, but this cookbook has given me lots of new ideas.It is also so nice that it lists what the recipe initially is made without, and also gives suggestions to eliminate/substitute other allergens that may be in it.It has saved dinner at our house from the same dozen or so things that I was stuck in a rut making.

Not allergy free
I am on an elimination diet (I can't eat any of the top 8 allergens, plus corn, beans and seeds) and was looking for recipes that would provide healthy alternatives to the foods I was used to. Most of these recipes are not allergy free, and I couldn't find one single recipe that truly eliminated all the top allergens.

For Frequent Entertainers
Various members of my family have different allergies. Some are allergic to eggs, others gluten, still others nuts. What's nice about this cookbook is that I can adjust my recipes to fit whoever is coming to dinner without having to buy three different cookbooks.
While I agree that most of the recipes can only eliminate a few allergens at a time, it's still a money saver for someone in my position (not allergic to anything myself, but catering to my visitors' needs). I recommend this for anyone who wants to host dinner parties for people with special dietary needs.

Flexible = Fantastic!
Lately I've been on a fairly peculiar diet in order to treat several digestive problems (gastroparesis, acid reflux, and a few food intolerances). These dietary restrictions force me to cook at home more than I used to, which in turn has sent me in search of cookbooks tailored to my needs. Most of the books I've looked at have fallen into one of three categories: gluten-free, vegan, or allergen-free. Unfortunately, none of these categories is ideal for me, as gluten-free cookbooks tend to call for cow's milk products and ignore spelt flour (an unusually substitution-friendly exception being The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy: Wheat-Free and Gluten-Free with Less Fuss and Less Fat), vegan cookbooks omit eggs and typically call for wheat, and allergen-free cookbooks omit eggs and soy, both of which are staples of my diet. Thankfully, Alice Sherwood's Allergy-Free Cookbook has a flexible recipe format that puts it in a category all its own.

Other reviewers have complained that Sherwood's cookbook is not what it claims to be. Those complaints are not entirely unwarranted, since Sherwood's recipes do call for some of the most common allergens, unlike (for example) Enjoy Life's Cookies for Everyone!: 150 Delicious Gluten-Free Treats that are Safe for Most Anyone with Food Allergies, Intolerances, and Sensitivities. On the other hand, the Allergy-Free Cookbook is a godsend for someone like me, who needs to omit only a couple of the most common allergens (cow's milk and wheat) and actively desires to include others (eggs and soy). I imagine the format of this book would also be extremely helpful for households in which one person is allergic to nuts and dairy and another to nuts alone, for example, because it makes it relatively easy to prepare two versions of the same tasty dish simultaneously.

In short, if you are considering buying The Allergy-Free Cookbook, have a look at the sample pages first (the book is beautifully printed and laid out, as is typical of Dorling-Kindersley!) and figure out whether the flexible recipe format will meet your needs or not. As far as I know, this format is unique, and while it won't work for everyone, I think a certain subset of people on special diets will be absolutely delighted with it.

Disappointed
I was very excited about the format of this cookbook as I have multiple food sensitivities. The disappointing part is the fact that while one sensitivity is omitted for a recipe if you have multiple foods to eliminate it is sometimes impossible to make the substitutions the book calls for. The recipes are also somewhat complicated and do not use ingredients the average cook would have on hand. This cookbook would be good for someone who is a good cook with maybe only one food allergy. ... Read more

Book has no advice on prevention
Once you have the dreaded peanut allergy, this book is pretty good. But wouldn't you rather not get it in the first place?Why is it the cause is unknown? Is our science that clueless?

Food allergies have become a major problem especially among children. Unless you work with children, you may not be aware of the extent of the problem. In the last 5 years there has been an "epidemic" of food allergies among children. It started at the same time the recommended number of vaccinations was substantially increased. It could be a coincidence or not. Vaccines are not regulated the same as food. Manufacturers can have "secret ingredients" not revealed on the package insert. This is protected by trade law. If you enjoy reading patents, you can find out many of the various ingredients used in the culture media and adjuvants. Many, many foods are listed. Peanut oil, sesame oil, wheat germ oil, soy oil, corn oil, walnut oil, almond oil are among the ingredients listed. A small amount of protein from these foods cannot be eliminated from the vaccine. It could be causing the food allergy epidemic. At the very least, physicians cannot advise their allergic patients very wisely if they don't know what is in the vaccine.

Wonderful overview of handling peanut allergy
This book thoroughly covers all the basics of peanut allergy.It would be an excellent guide for someone new to the allergy.I have read other books and websites and I have been dealing with my child's severe peanut allergy for years, and I still learned a lot from it.It would also be a good resource for schools.

Very informative book
This is a very comprehensive book on peanut allergies.It is written for children, teens and adults who have peanut allergies. I was made aware of things I had not even thought about before.I also became more relaxed as I learned how to handle allergic reactions such as these. I highly recommend this book if you have a person who has peanut allergies in your home or not.This is an allergy that is becoming more prevalent and we should all be aware of how to protect and help those of all ages that have this allergy.If you yourself have this allergy it will provide much needed enlightenment as to what all the tests are for, what to be careful of, and what to do should you ingest peanut.

RUN - do NOT walk- away from BIOSET
I am posting this in the hopes that it saves someone from dealing with what I now have to deal with: I did a series of treatments of Bioset with a doctor trained by "Ellen Cutler", the creator of Bioset, and I am SOOO much worse now than I was before I was treated. I did almost all the treatments, spent a ton of money, and though some things seemed to work at first, about three hours after the last treatment (for which my "bioset technician doctor" treated me for WAAAAAY to many items at once, I got very, very ill with a high fever. Ever since then I have been chemically sensitive - cannot tolerate any scents - and I mean ANY. I also saw "Ellen Cutler" for a treatment or two and had no results. Now, I have to walk around with a shawl so I can cover my nose on elevators, in the movies, etc. because it is a very scented world we live in. We even had to make sure no one wore cologne or perfume to my wedding by printing it on the invitations it was so bad. This may sound a little over the top, and you know - I wish it was. The truth is, it is so much worse than I could ever express here. I did not have any of these sensitivities until I did those treatments, now I am plagued with them. Whatever "Bioset" does the creator and those she's trained do not understand what they are doing to the human body. Clearly they are doing something - but do yourself a favor, and stay as far away from these treatments as possible. There may be answers to your suffering, but I promise you - this is NOT one of them.

I did not read this book, so take it for what it is...
I am really writing about my experience with NAET and Bioset. I read Dr. Cutler's book for practitioners as I was going through the "treatments". I have a great deal of respect for her and others who are trying to help sufferers and this protocol does seem to work for a few people, but it does seem to be a few.


I have chemical sensitivities and I tried both NAET and Bioset with NO success, only a big empty hole in my bank account. I was told I had to clear all these other things before getting to the perfume, when the treatment didn't work I was told I had to go back and clear some of the stuff that had already been cleared. In a nutshell, I spent a small fortune and am still allergic to all the stuff I was supposedly cleared for. This does work for some and we are not all the same, but my advice is to try EFT and TAT, both of which offer their basic protocols for FREE and work through it yourself.

You may get info about BIOSET in this book but you can not do the protocol by yourself, so if you want to try it read about it on the net and save a nickel...you'll need it if you want to try it.


I needed to write this because anyone with chemical sensitivities has been bilked out of loads of money, taken thousands in natural remedies and yeast cures, diets etc, In my own humble opinion...stay away from anyone or anything that wants your wallet before helping you! If you really want to do bioset and the practitioner is so sure of it, offer to make a contract to pay them $10,000 placed in an escrow account if they cure you and nothing if they don't...if they truly have those 80% plus success rates that would be a no brainer for them, see how many take the offer:) Everyone has a right to make a living, and recoup their expenses getting info out there, but those who carefully guard their "secrets" and want to sell you an e-book or seminar or something without offering you ANY substantial help or demonstration of efficacy, I would avoid. We can all be quite desperate at times with this thing. Like many of us I have done lots of things, lots and lots of things. Keep your wallet in your purse, until you know something works. I truly believe that anyone who has suffered with this or understands its impact on someone's life would not withhold the cure for ANY reason. I personally would actually be willing to spend my own money to get it out there, but that's me.

Gary Craig and Tapas Flemming I think still make plenty of money on their dvd's and seminars and certifications while giving people their system for free. I have purchased DVDs from both Tapas and Gary after receiving much needed free help. I admire and thank them and they have set the standards for what I look for in a healing system and the integrity of it's creators/promoters.

Great Book, But Looking for More Info
This book was a god send.I tried the self techniques she writes about.They actually worked on my husband.However, I'm trying to follow the enzymatic therapy she discusses and it left me wanting/looking for more information.She doesn't really really give exact dosages on some items and there are so many enzymes, I'm not sure which ones to take.This left me wanting to read her other book:Micro Miracle.Also, when I go to the website for more information on digestive enzymes, some of the enzymes said I had to be a practitioner to purchase, which was disappointing.Another note:The author states that this technique is inexpensive....WELL.....I called a provider and she wanted $350 for first evaluation visit and $75 for all subsequent visits.That sounds pretty expensive to me. You could end up having many different allergies so the price tag could potentially be a hefty one.
Overall:I'm glad I read the book.... but need more info!

Allergy &Candida Cooking Made Easy
This is an excellent book and I have been using it during my cleansing
of all foods but veggies and proteins for the past month. I have never
felt starved which is amazing. Along with this way of well-being eating, and supplements, I have not felt lethargy, joint pain and bloatedness for the past three weeks. This is a very helpful book for finding out how food affects our energy and pain symptoms. Along with eating healthy comes a lot of cooking though!! After feeling so good, I now prefer to give up some of my busy life to devote to my health and well-being.

Allergy and Candida Cookbook and much more
I would recommend Allergy and Candida Cooking Made Easy to anyone who suffers with food allergies and or candida. This book is so much more than just a cookbook, there's a lot of helpful information that would benefit anyone with these kinds of health issues. I didn't know anything about rotation dieting, this book not only helps set up that kind of food regimen but it has the weekly shopping list to go by as well. I'm sold on this book and highly recommend it to others.

Good Information Overall/Other Good References
This book was useful for a number of things - easy cooking directions, lots of recipes, and information on how to set up a rotational diet.Additionally it includes basic instruction for those of us (me!) who don'tcook.

It did seem to introduce sugar a bit soon to the diet as comparedto other books and it did not incorporate other good nutritional theory asa base (such as food combining, acid/akaline theory, blood type theory,etc.).I used much of the information in this book, but modified it toincorporate things that work for me, such as not combining carbs andprotein in one meal, limiting certain foods like tomatoes, using vegetableglycerin for a sweetener, and etc.

Other very good references are TheBody Ecology Diet (Gates), the Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook (Martin),The Candida Control Cookbook by Burton, and The Cure for All Diseases (Dr.Clark).

A tip:Go slow & don't overwhelm yourself with all this newinformation at one time! It's a big change to go from limited time in akitchen to spending most of your free time cooking.I've found it helps tocut out as many social obligations as you can while you rebuild your immunesystem and it really helps to pray for the strength to stick with thechanges you want to make!

Allergy & Candida Cooking Made Easy
I recently found by default that I am suffering from Candida Overgrowth and set out to find all the information on it that I could.I found a lot of books that told me what I needed to do and eat; however, I had troublewith finding any that had recipes of the kinds of meals or foods that Ilike to eat.Then I found this cookbook!It explained about Candida andgave a list of possible symptoms, and then it gave a list of what a Candidasufferer should and should not eat, and gave some information on some ofthe ingredients that it uses in the recipes.It explained the connectionbetween Allergies and Candida, as well.I hadn't really made theconnection.I love this cookbook.Now, I can watch what ingredients gointo the meals that I eat and I can really enjoy eating them (instead ofchoking them down) when they have been prepared!I waste less food andfewer ingredients!It contains recipes that are free of Sugar, Yeast,Wheat, Corn, Dairy and Egg. Other books that I have really gotten gooduse out of are "The Body Ecology Diet", "Allergies andCandida with the Physicist's Rapid Solution", and "CompleteCandida Yeast Guidebook"."Allergy and Candida Cooking MadeEasy" has a wonderful baked chicken recipe that I thought waswonderful!"Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook" has a Guacamolerecipe that is absolutely delicious!
