Allergies and the Missing Link
by Doris Grant
It has been recognised for many years that the origin of disease involves agent, host, and environment. Yet the all-important 'host' – the primary cause – is still unknown to our health professionals or largely overlooked, especially in the search for treatments of the many misery-making, sometimes lethal, allergic diseases which are increasingly bedevilling this world today.
Allergies Understood Conventional and Complementary Approaches
by Dr Druba Basnyet and Jolanta Basnyet
Allergic conditions, such as asthma, eczema, allergic rhinitis and food allergies, constitute around one-third of all chronic diseases and pose a major problem in the UK for more than 15% of the population and the doctors treating them.
Bed and Mattress Advice
by Wendy Emberson
Buying a new bed can be an expensive mistake. It is not just the cost of the bed, but the loss of work, the loss of income to both employer and employee, and the enormous personal cost in terms of pain and possible disability that can be reduced and maybe even avoided.
Chronic Illness, Food Allergies and Low Body Temperature
by Alan Hunter
In this article, the author Alan Hunter documents his long journey of discovery as he searched for a solution to a illness labelled 'fatigue' which began in the late 1960s and which strangely subsided whenever he had a fever. He also suffered generally from low body temperature.
Eczema and Food Allergy
by Jennifer Worth
Apart from the physical manifestations of eczema, the author graphically describes her horrendous experiences of the itching. She tried all the normal conventional treatments and also some complementary treatments but to no avail. Eventually, she was able to link the eczema with some kind of food allergy and, as she received no support with this conclusion from her consultant dermatologist and dietitian, she unwisely commenced her own food elimination diet until finally finding a retired doctor who could guide her through the process effectively.

Invention – A Natural Approach to Hay Fever and Rhinitis
by Adrian Soper
This article recounts the dramatic story of how Adrian Soper was inspired to find a way to improve the lives of Hay Fever sufferers. One hot and sunny day in 1997, at a village pub, a friend of his, "finding it hard to breathe anyway, selects the Egg Sandwich and following its arrival he spends over one and a quarter hours trying to consume it. It is this single moment that has inspired me to try to find some way in which people like this can have a restored quality of life."
The Allergy Volcano
by Jennifer Worth
Allergic diseases are increasing world-wide. It seems that we cannot adapt to the environment we are creating, and the allergy volcano is erupting fast. Western scientific based medicine is ill equipped to deal with this, and complementary medicine, which is based on ancient wisdom and experience gathered over centuries, cannot cope with this modern phenomena either.
The Effects of a Virus upon Allergic Conditions
by Jennifer Worth
This is Jennifer Worth's personal account of the course she took to get to the root of her debilitating viral condition, which started with a cold that developed into bronchitis. As an asthmatic, accustomed to winter bronchitis, she was able to cure herself with a couple of weeks of bed rest, warmth, inhalations, good food and a high fluid intake. This time however, she failed to get back her strength which seemed to ebb away with each day, even though she no longer suffered bronchitis or asthma. She felt ill all the time, a sort of dragging illness, like flu.

What is an Allergy?
by Dr DF Smallbone
First things first: let's be clear about what food intolerance is, or rather, what it is not. It is not food allergy (and it does no one any good to confuse the two conditions).
