Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Information – Online TV and Podcast Blog

In todays episode I answer questions asked by Nathan in the comments of Episode #23.

Nathan wanted to know about parents passing on their allergies onto their children, and about medication and desensitisation for several allergens.

I also catch you up on our recent yearly visit to the allergy specialist.

In this episode I speak about managing anaphylactic food allergies using the desensitisation method. There is a current study going on in the Children’s Hospital Boston using a desensitisation method, which sort of mirrors the treatment that’s been going on for years over at the Pediatric Hospital Burlo Garofolo in the city of Trieste, north-east of Italy (www.burlo.trieste.it)

Listen to the podcast here first, then read the websites / watch the videos below.

Ladies and gentleman, only a short TV show this week, just to touch base and flex my video muscles which haven’t been used in a very long time.

As mentioned on the show, this testimonial came in for Melanie’s first book, “Jessie’s Favourite Things (Even with Food Allergies)”

“Just wanted to let you know that we received your book and it is fantastic. My daughter just loves it. She took it to preschool with her the other day and the teachers were very impressed with it. They read it to the class and said that it brought on alot of discussion with the class of 4 year olds. We are very lucky that my daughter has a fantastic preschool that she attends and that they are very supportive with the food allergies. The children in the class are very aware of my daughter’s food allergies and it was wonderful to be able to share this book with them. If you ever publish any more books like this can you please let me know as I would be keen to purchase them. Thanks again for publishing this book. Also thanks for such quick postage. Glad to be getting your emails again too. You do such a wonderful job.”

Thanks Kerry. You made Melanie’s day. I look forward to getting some more testimonials that I can share.

I’ll have a more formatted show next week covering some new research that’s going on at the moment for the treatment of food allergies. It’s cutting edge stuff, that I’ll have to get Melanie to help me so I don’t miss anything.

Also coming soon, a cooking segment (me and kitchens don’t get along so this should be interesting)
