The Allergy Solution by Dr. Leo Galland

As a Certified LEAP Therapist, we know that non-IgE Food and Chemical Sensitivities must be addressed as well as IgE allergies for overall good health. This book states MUCH of what I’ve heard myself say for years to clients & CLTs that I’ve mentored! (But, I’m only about 1/2 way thru.)
I must say that I don’t agree fully with the diet recommendations, since clearly, as a LEAP Therapist, based on MRT blood testing, we often find clients reactive reactive to recommended foods like banana, tea, olives or turmeric, for example. (I have one client that figured out that lettuce triggered her migraines 36 hours later. Another client that found turmeric was actually increasing her arthritis – but it’s highly individual.)
But, the list of “avoids” is really reasonable for “Do it myself-figure it out myself Elimination Diets.”
I’ve also chuckled that “I can tell the authors are from NYC.” They must not realize that in MANY parts of the country, esp rural America, we just cannot buy arugula (it’s one recipe/smoothie ingredient easily substituted however and easy to grow). I also know many people HATE arugula, even if I personally love it.
But, all that said, still finding many pearls, even as an expert in non-IgE food sensitivity. I recommended it! Jan Patenaude, RD, CLT

So tired of taking allergy medications, I started researching gut health and stumbled onto this book and I am so happy I did. Those of us with allergies and chronic issues are not faking the fatigue, the exhaustion, the feeling of brain fog, and memory issues sometimes…but since we don’t look any different, it’s hard to convince people what we feel is real. This book tells you it’s real, and how you can help reduce your allergies the healthy way.

Good basic information but it was nothing new for me. Maybe I am more informed than most people, but this didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know.

Some interesting info. Turned me on to oolong tea. The book wasn’t that helpful to me–it’s a lot of stuff I already know–been down this road for a decade now. I suppose if you’re new to allergies and asthma this book would be much more helpful. I’m not sure if it’s fair of me to dock a star for the following observations or not: the doctor really tiptoes around chemical fragrance (comprised of known carcinogens, chemically similar to cigarette smoke) and totally omits any mention of the impact of aluminum adjuvants in exponentially increasing vaccines. Would’ve been nice to read about how to rid the brain/body of aluminum, if that’s possible. Maybe I’m wrong, but my sense is (from listening to the doctor talk on a podcast I subscribe to) that the doctor is a very bright man whom I suspect is well aware of how much aluminum is added to inactivated-virus vaccines as an adjuvant, is well aware of how adjuvants work by super-charging the immune system, and equally well aware of how the marked increase in allergies and asthma coincides with a marked increase of aluminum inoculation in immature immune systems. On the one hand, I’m aware that speaking the truth can cost medical professionals their career (because of corruption); on the other hand, these glaring omissions left me thinking: the doctor has brains but no guts. Hard to respect that he pretended the possibly biggest factor in the huge rise in allergies and asthma doesn’t exist. It was a big elephant in the room, while reading the book.

As a practicing Dietitian with additional certification in food allergy management, I appreciated the work and experience that went into writing this book. I was able to pick up new ideas for potential allergens, as well as new and effective suggestions for treatment. I especially enjoyed the holistic approach, as the mind and the environment in which we exist have as much impact as the food we ingest. I tune into to the author’s speaking engagements whenever possible and always learn something new! Look for their blog on recruitment microbiota – fascinating! Keep up the great work!

This healed me for a decade from gut issues and made my allergies way more tolerable. Now I’m turning to it again when more mysterious problems arise. It took away some gut and pain issues I was having and I’m on my road to recovery.

Excelente libro para encontrar el origen de mucho males que no aquejan en la vida moderna.
