Product 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 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

Not much science for a Dr. by J. Wallace

February 10, 2009
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.

This book has alot of good information to do with elimination diets/antibiotic use and the development of candida albicans problems that cause food allergies. It is an excellent book to read and follow if you suffer from allergies or asthma.

This book has saved my life! Since moving to Austin, Texas (allergy capital of the world)from Chicago not only have my allergies and asthma gotten extremely bad, but I've also been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, chronic sinus infections, panic disorder, agoraphobia and chronic fatigue. I have gone off of my antihistamines, Flonase, antidepressants, birth control pills and lowered my Flovent dosage by 75%! Tapering off that while I start Intal again. I can't tell you how this has saved my life! You do the program to the tee - you'll feel better in days. Within one week I felt like a million bucks! It's not easy, but to feel this good is really worth it! To top it off, I lost 8 pounds in two weeks (now 126)! Please get this book for people that are suffering. A lot of people are getting this for Christmas this year!

The book is based on changing your eating habits to improve asthma. It has alot of good information on allergies, food intolerance, and asthma, as well as allergy tests. It also talks about asthma medications and their side effects, and has a chapter on nutritional supplements. The author used to work for Atkins and is his philosophies are less extreme than Atkins but he does incorperate alot of meat into his program. His basic program is to identify food sensitivities, and avoid foods that you are sensitive to, as well as things that contribute to candidiasis and leaky gut. If you aren't ready to make big changes in your diet you may be wasting your money. The diet cuts out sugar and fruit for a limited time, and he advises you to leave the sugar out. One of the issues in this book is it is really based around identifying your food intolerances. He recommends tests which will run you $400 and up. These are not often covered by insurance. I did take the test and found out my intolerances. He also states you can do an elimination diet if you can't afford the tests but it sounds very confusing and hard to implement. While he recommends most meats, much research shows that antiinflammatory diets work best with asthma, as well as vegan diets, which would contridict this method. I'm not a vegetarian but I have tried to keep my meat consumption down based on my own research and I have tried to stay on an antiinflammatory diet that is more plant based. Also, his recommendation for fish oil, while great, is contridicted in alot of lietrature as it can make symptoms worse for some asthmatics. So do your own research on fish oil and see if it gives you any problems if you do implement this part of his program. I think his book is good in the sense that it focuses on positive diet changes and would be beneficial to someone who is eating alot of junk food and it may well help their asthma. It also is a decent reference book for allergy tests, medications, and supplements. If someone is on a healthy diet and takes good care of their health and is savy to nutrition it may not be a big help. Also not recommended for vegetarians, except that the tests may uncover food allergies if you are willing to pay for them. To some it may be worth a try, it does have some good information.

I previously purchased this book, used it successfully, and then lent it(much marked up) to someone (don't remember who)and now I need it again. I didn't follow the program 100%, but it did work. I was on allergy shots, and had asthma symptoms at certain times of the year depending on what was blooming. This book worked for me, and I have tried a lot of them.
