Understanding Allergy, Sensitivity, and Immunity: A Comprehensive Guide

By Janice M. Vickerstaff Joneja

Book Overview

The cause of allergies and other less well understood sensitivites lies within the body itself, in the inappropriate reaction of the immune system to the outside world, rather than external substances such as pollen. The immune system's array of defenses against truly harmful microorganisms turn against ordinarily harmless substances instead.
