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!

Quick delivery and in excellent shape!My husband WAS suffering with COPD but after a diet change and progressive exercise he is breathing better and walking three miles a day so far. He still uses his oxygen at night but his color has come back and he's got energy - something I have not seen in a year! Although this may not CURE the COPD changing diet is a magnificent start to actually start living your life again!

Not sure you can cure asthma, but informative.

I read this book with very great interest. It's the most promising and sensible approach I've seen to addressing the allergy and digestive problems I've been having for many years, which my own doctors have by trying ineffectively to treat by drugging the symptoms into submission. I intend to try the program.However, I expect to have some trouble talking my doctors into supporting this. Pescatore appears to have developed his "cure" based on a lot of clinical trial and error and some guesswork based on a rough theory that the problems are all rooted in leaky gut and candida yeast overgrowth. That kind of clinical approach is very valuable, but it takes more than that to really convince the medical community. Pescatore appears to have choosen to market his method directly to consumers via popular books and TV talk shows, rather than market it to the medical community via formal clinical studies or experimental research. Much of his suggested treatment is going to be questioned by the mainstream medical community. For instance, does it really make sense to eliminate all sugar from your diet when your body makes its own sugar from the foods you eat, so there will always still be lots of sugar in the bloodstream? Still, I have seen some medical research from other sources that hints that there really is something to his approach. For now, his approach may be the best available, though many of it's details are unproven.I also find it slightly off-putting that when I go to the store to get the macadamia nut oil that he heartly recommends, I find the oil is sold by him. (Though it really is good and healthy and was probably hard to get before he started marketing it.) When I go to the web site of the blood test company he recommends, there's his ringing endorsement. Pescatore Inc is there wherever I go.He's certainly not nearly as bad as other "show doctors" who build financial empires on dubious weightloss theories. His book clearly distinguishes between established medical fact and his own approaches. He's clearly aware of mainstream medical research and has been integrating it into his approach as far as possible. There's no crystal waving here. It's not quite science, but it's close, and it's may be the best we are going to get for a while. And his suggested treatment is, at the very least, less likely to do harm than all the medications my doctors have been suggesting.

It was back in 2008 and my allergies and asthma were at it's worse. My emergency inhaler wasn't helping much and my other asthma medicines didn't seem to bring me relief. When I went to my doctor he said I had COPD and started me on some new medicine but that didn't help either. I was desperate because I felt like I wasn't going to live much longer not being able to breath right. I started a google search and eventually came across this book and three others about allergies and asthma. I started the diet plan it mentioned (restricting everything that had sugar in it) and it really worked. After a couple of weeks I was breathing so well I was able to put my asthma medications away ; it was wonderful. I got into a good eating habit during this period but then came a long vacation period and I fell away from the diet plan. My breathing issues started again but not has bad as it was back in 2008.Now; I plan on purchasing this book again but for my Kindle so I won't loose it again.It was difficult avoiding all the foods mentioned in the book but when you are desperate you are willing to try anything and it helped and I believe it will help me again if I run into the serious issues again.

I had been getting more and more allergic every year. Last year I developed asthma, and kept up with an intense schedule by using inhalers, a lot! Even though I gave up dairy and wheat, they continued to get worse, finally to the point where I had hives and welts from touching my books (a little microscopic mold, I suppose). That was the last straw and I bought this book and followed it for 3.5 months now. I went from using inhalers 3 times a day to 0. I can hug my cats again, where I would cough when they walked into the room with me before. I had some patches of eczema on the elbows that is gone, and I finally have some get up and go again.If you feel despair of having your body literally self destruct with allergic reactions, follow this program with ALL of the pertinent supplements (3 handfuls a day for me), and get your health back!

I thought this was more for food allergies. This is my fault as someone suggested it to me because my son has tons of allergies. I really did enjoy the read. I kind of skimmed past the parts that were about asthma. I read all of it about the allergies. I really like how it was mostly divided so that if you have one and not the other you did not have to read it all. It was overall a good read.
