Allergies: What They Are and What to Do About Them

It has been estimated that over 100 million Americans are afflicted with some form of allergic disease. Of these, ap­proximately 20 million suffer with allergies severe enough to require serious attention. The allergy may be seasonal hay fever, asthma, eczema, contact dermatitis and other skin eruptions, digestive disturbances, arthritis or respiratory dis­orders. Many individuals are not treated properly, because their condition is not recognized as being an allergy.
