Title Complete Guide to Food Allergy and Intolerance, The Author Professor Jonathon Brostoff and Linda Gamlin Year Published 1998 ISBN 0-7475-3430-6 Back Cover "[This] is the definitive work in this field, and has become an invaluable handbook for all food allergy sufferers." Our Review This is the “bible” when it comes to understanding food allergy and intolerance. Professor Dr Jonathan Brostoff of University College London is almost certainly the greatest authority on his subject in the UK, maybe the world.

Title Fragrant Pharmacy, The Author Valerie Ann Worwood Year Published 1997 ISBN 0-553-40397-4 Back Cover “This illuminating and imaginative book of aromatherapy is the household manual of the future. It is a treasury of information about precious life- and health-enhancing liquids that work in complex harmony with people and planet alike.” Our Review Lots of people advocate aromatherapy to calm distressed or difficult children, but some oils can actually cause problems. (e.g. pine and related oils really upset both my kids.) This book and its companion volumes provide full information to allow you to work out which oils may be helpful and which may cause difficulties. Recommended to me by Dr Marysia Kratimenos.
