Book Reviews of The Allergy and Asthma Cure: A Complete 8-Step Nutritional Program
Book Review: Not much science for a Dr.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book desperate to find something new, something that would work. I've tried every anti-histamine out there and have been on allergy shots on and off for 12 years with minimal impact.
The cure for allergies and asthma is a bold claim, so I assumed there would be something behind it. This book was a big disappointment. My issues:
- There is no cited science or scientific studies to back up his claims. He talks about what he's done in his practice, but know double-blind scientific studies, journal-published articles, or really evidence at all outside a few testimonials. I expected more from a MD.
- He claims that basically all allergies are caused by leaky gut and candidas. Really, my allergies go nuts in one city but not another because I have a yeast infection in my gut?
- There are some tests to diagnose these conditions, but he either doesn't use them (candidis) and just assumes everyone has them, or they cost $1000 and aren't covered by most insurance (ALCAT).
- The diet is so amazingly complex as to be unmanageable for most people. Here's a short list things you can't eat for 3-7 months (and may or may not be able to reintroduce): Sugar, Fruit, Cheese, Salad dressing, Tomotoes, Corn, Peas, Carrots, Pototoes, Anything with Yeast, White Bread, White Rice, and Alcohol.
Yes, I read the whole book. No, I will not be trying this crazy diet from a former Atkins doctor to "cure" my allergies.
Summary of The Allergy and Asthma Cure: A Complete 8-Step Nutritional Program
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 believe that The Allergy and Asthma Cure holds the key to understanding how nutritional medicine can really work for you. Allergies (from skin conditions to seasonal types) and asthma can be cured, not just held at bay. This book shows the way. Dr. Pescatore is truly a healer."
-Roberta Flack, singer/songwriter
"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
"This book is for anyone willing to give up his or her life as an asthmatic. I had tried every drug and treatment available and the asthma only got worse. Under Dr. Pescatore's care, I began to see results within six weeks. It's been over two years now living without an attack. His approach has changed the way I live."
-Paul Goldman, patient
