This book is an easy read, and has some good information, but won't be added to my must-read list. I will admit that I skipped over most of the asthma chapters and focused on the food allergies. ;) The premise of this book is that most asthma and allergies are caused by a candida overgrowth, and the author takes you through the process of controlling candida through supplements and diet. Although I think that candida is a problem for many people, and can cause leaky gut (leading to food sensitivities), I don't agree that it's a problem for everyone. Also, the protocols for initially killing off the candida are too harsh for children in my opinion.
The author does discuss a few different types of food allergy/sensitivity testing, and highly recommends the ALCAT test. He also discusses eliminations diets and nutritional supplements.
