”Min videnskabelige nysgerrighed er i den grad pirret! Både min datter, flere andre familiemedlemmer og venner har prøvet det med gode resultater. Alle store nye opdagelser udfordrer vores menneskelige intellekt og skepsis. Metoden, som er beskrevet her, er en klar kandidat til en større videnskabelig undersøgelse. Det ville være fantastisk, hvis vi står over for et gennembrud i forståelsen af allergi – og samtidig en enkel og effektiv behandlingsmetode til at fjerne allergien.” Jan Utzon, Speciallæge i Samfunds- og Miljømedicin”Torben Frank Andersen og Ole Larsen har skrevet en meget udførlig bog om allergi, der i den grad inddrager et helhedsperspektiv, som allergibehandling har brug for. WHO har forudsagt, at 70 % af alle sygdomme i 2020 vil være stressrelaterede. Bogen illustrerer på udmærket vis sammenhængen mellem stress, allergi og sygdom. At allergi er psykosomatisk/en programmeringsfejl, er helt i tråd med, hvordan vi forstår hjernens tolkning af sensoriske inputs fra omgivelserne – og endnu et spændende perspektiv på chok/traume-behandling. Jeg hilser bogen velkommen og håber, at mange flere vil tage det forebyggende og helhedsorienterede perspektiv til sig.”Jesper Peter Rasmussen, Stressambassadøren og Københavns Gestalt Institut

Ifølge Astma-Allergi Danmark har hver femte dansker allergi. Mange mennesker lever hver dag med gener og belastninger, som kan forringe livskvaliteten. Flere er ramt af gentagen nysen, eksem, kløe, tilstoppet næse, tør hud etc. Allergi er en overreaktion i immunsystemet på ellers normalt uskadelige stoffer, og både voksne og børn rammes af sygdommen. Med en så stor gruppe af mennesker, der er berørt af allergi, er det kun naturligt, at myter om sygdommen florerer. Derfor laver vi nu bogen 100 myter om allergi for at finde hoved og hale i de ofte modstridende udsagn om sygdommen. Myterne er f.eks.: OPVÆKST I ET HJEM MED PELSDYR ØGER RISIKOEN FOR UDVIKLING AF ASTMA OG ALLERGI ALLERGI KAN UDLØSES AF STRESSALLERGI ER LIGESÅ ALMINDELIGT PÅ LANDET SOM I BYEN. 100 myter om allergi er den tiende bog i myteserien fra FADL’s Forlag. Den går mere ind i det sundhedsfaglige felt end de seneste udgivelser om mad, sex og kærlighed. Forfatteren bag bogen er børnelæge Jesper Brandt Andersen, der tidligere har skrevet bøgerne Børnelægens store bog om barnets sygdomme og biografien om den danske anatom Thomas Bartholin.

In this full-colour practical guide, Wolfgang Windmann, Ph.D., explores Shilajit’s many physical and mental benefits, from stimulating the immune system and combating inflammation to protection from toxic stress and improving cognitive performance.

"Bogen om Allergi" er for danskere, der har allergi – eller som gerne vil undgå at få allergi hos dem selv eller deres børn.Bogen er en opslagsbog og dens særlige, brugervenlige opbygning gør sammen med over 250 fotos og letforståelige tekster, at alle – uanset allergi’erfaring’ og læselyst – nemt og hurtigt finder frem til præcis den information, de mangler.Her er både grundlæggende fakta til dem uden allergi, mere uddybende til dem, der lige har fået konstateret allergi, men også særlige fif til dem, der har haft allergi i mange år."Bogen om Allergi" beskriver alle allergityper, er målrettet 'forebyggelse' og dens faglige indhold er gennemgået af 10 førende allergieksperter. Den kombination er aldrig set før, og derfor er "Bogen om Allergi" helt unik og uundværlig i den moderne danske familie.Forfatteren har også skrevet "Bogen om Tvillinger 0-10 år" og "Uge-for-uge-kalender - til dig, der venter tvillinger".
