The Allergy and Asthma Cure

Fred Pescatore

Description

Free yourself of allergies and asthma once and for all with Dr. Pescatore's breakthrough program " Dr. Fred Pescatore's The Allergy and Asthma Cure reveals a unique and revolutionary understanding of the underlying conditions of allergy and asthma-from food triggers to the environment to nutritional deficiencies. His integrative program of both alternative and traditional treatments can dramatically improve health and vitality, safely and soundly. This book will have a prominent place in my library and I highly recommend it! " -Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S., author of the bestselling The Fat Flush Plan "Conventional medicine has largely shrugged its shoulders in confusion about the causes of allergies and asthma in millions of people. In this book Dr. Fred Pescatore deals with the roots of these modern epidemics, drawing on his clinical experience, and he provides clear recommendations for turning back the tide and restoring health." - Jack Challem, author of the bestselling Syndrome X and The Inflammation Syndrome "The Allergy and Asthma Cure is the book we have all been waiting for. Dr. Pescatore manages, in a concise manner, to summarize all the facts and presents a comprehensive healing guide that incorporates both conventional and alternative approaches. A must-read for those dealing with these issues." -Artur Spokojny, M.D., F.A.C.C., Medical Director of Integrative Medicine of Manhattan, Associate Professor of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College "I have seen firsthand how The Allergy and Asthma Cure has changed people's lives for the better. I have started using his treatment protocols for my own patients with a remarkable success rate, and best of all with no side effects. Many of my patients are getting off their allergy and asthma medications completely. I strongly recommend this book to anyone with allergies or asthma." -Dana G. Cohen, M.D., board-certified, Internal Medicine

Author’s Note
The information in this book reflects the author’s experience and is not intended to replace the advice of your own personal physician. It is not the intent of the author to diagnose or prescribe treatment. The intent is only to help you breathe better through a unique program that you may never have tried before, in conjunction with your own personal physician. Only your personal physician can determine if this program is suitable for you, depending on your personal medical history. You should never attempt to decrease your use of medication that has been prescribed for you without first contacting the physician who prescribed it. In addition to regular checkups and supervision, any questions or symptoms that may arise should be addressed to your own personal physician.
This book is not meant to serve as a replacement for your personal physician. Rather, it should be used as an adjunct to what you have been doing in your quest to breathe easier and suffer from fewer symptoms associated with your allergies or asthma.

Acknowledgments
This book would not have been written had it not been for the inspiration of the following people:

PG, AB, AG, and AG—for believing that this could help countless other people and forcing me to commit this to paper
EM and GJ—for believing in this project and getting it started
HE—for her amazing recipes
DC—for always being there
TM—for being the best editor one could hope for
And to all the amazing patients who put their trust and confidence in me that I will help them get well. They are the best source of inspiration any doctor could ever hope for.
I couldn’t have done this without all of you. Thanks.
