As the incidence of food allergy continues to increase in the U.S., particularly
in children, the need for an easy-to-read book also has increased.
With Food Allergies For Dummies, Dr. Wood has provided all of us with a
handy reference tool.
As someone who has a peanut allergy, he is in a unique position to write this
book. Dr. Wood understands this topic personally and professionally. His
easy-to-read writing style and calm demeanor make him a favorite among
patients throughout the country and around the world.
The articles he writes for parents are reprinted by organizations around the
world. At FAAN’s annual meetings, Dr. Wood is a favorite speaker. Families
travel thousands of miles to visit his clinic at Johns Hopkins Hospital in
Baltimore, Maryland. For those with young children, he helps unravel the
mystery and brings a diagnosis and treatment plan that helps the children
and their families. Teens, the highest risk group for severe or fatal reactions,
visit his office to hear from someone who really does understand the opposing
forces of striving for independence while having to be cautious and
always ready for the unexpected reaction.
His writing style leaves you feeling like you know him. Most importantly, he
touches on all the key topics — including why peanuts cause so many reactions,
why food allergy is increasing, and where you are likely to find allergens.
Dr. Wood shares his personal experiences with peanut allergy reactions,
reminding us all that even one of the world’s leading experts sometimes has
reactions. He helps us learn from his mistakes and how to assess risks to minimize
stress or worry.
If you are looking for a book that you can sit and read quietly, this is it. If you
need a book you can use as a reference tool, this one fits that bill too. You
won’t be disappointed with Food Allergies For Dummies. You’ll find yourself
recommending it to everyone you know, just like the patients who travel long
distances just to speak to Dr. Wood.
