Publisher's Synopsis
El primer programa para prevenir y revertir la epidemia de nuestros tiempos.
En el mundo hay millones de niños y adultos que dìa a dìa enfrentan serias dificultades de salud a causa de las alergias alimentarias, las cuales pueden provocar desde una urticaria leve hasta la constricción de las vìas respiratorias. El fin de las alergias alimentarias es un programa pensado para toda la familia, validado cientìficamente y enfocado en reentrenar el sistema inmunológico para que deje de tratar a los alimentos como enemigos, a fin de prevenir y revertir los efectos de estas alergias. La clave, nos dice la doctora de la Universidad de Stanford, Kari Nadeau, está en la inmunoterapia, una técnica de reintroducción gradual y controlada de un alérgeno al cuerpo, que se explica a detalle en estas páginas.
Además de la investigación de la doctora Nadeau, Sloan Barnett, autora bestseller de The New York Times y madre de dos niños con alergias alimentarias, suma a este libro una perspectiva indispensable para manejar y liberar ese miedo continuo a los alérgenos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A life-changing, research-based program that will end food allergies in children and adults forever.
The problem of food allergy is exploding all around us. This book, however, offers the first glimpse of hope with a powerful message: you can work with your family and your doctor to eliminate food allergies forever.
The trailblazing research of Dr. Kari Nadeau at Stanford University reveals that food allergies are not a life sentence. Because the immune system can be retrained, reactions--from mild hives to life-threatening airway constriction--can be disrupted, slowed, and stopped. The key is a strategy called immunotherapy (IT)--the controlled, gradual reintroduction of an allergen into the body. With innovations including state-of-the-art therapies targeting specific components of the immune system, Dr. Nadeau and her team have increased the speed and effectiveness of their treatment to a matter of months.
New York Times bestselling author, Sloan Barnett-a mother of two children with food allergies- provides a lay perspective to make Dr. Nadeau's research accessible to everyone. Together, they present a clear, supportive plan to combat a major national and global health issue; they walk readers through every aspect of food allergies, including how to find the right treatment and manage the ongoing fear of allergens that haunt so many sufferers.
