Having been your General Practitioner for the past ten years I find your individual case histories in the introduction utterly fascinating. Like most medical practitioners, GP or hospital consultant, I was poorly equipped to understand the far reaching effects that allergy has on our lives. Your family has been ideally qualified to enlighten me. Three allergy sufferers in one family!. One with a background in food technology. Another with a degree in chemistry, and a third a child growing up in this now very complex world.

From behind my desk, this ten years, I have watched your story unfold. Referral to conventional NHS consultants brought no insight into your problems. I facilitated your contacts with doctors with an interest and understanding in allergy. I have been amazed by the results. Results which you have outlined in your introduction.

I hope your manuscript achieves publication. The benefits that you have achieved through an understanding and treatment of allergy will then be available to others.

Best wishes.
