Hey Bob
I have done lots of research in recent times with allergies due to one of my children having an anaphylactic reaction to something she had eaten. If allergies can cause asthma, welts, rashes, hyperactivity, etc etc, it follows that your Doc may be onto something and its worth a look. Here are a few sites you might find useful:
www.foundations@shoalhaven.net.au
www.capitalimmunology.com.au/pages/patres.html
www.immune.com
www.foodallergy.org/
www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~aair/ (this one is an asthma and allergy info and research site.)Anyway, I have lots of others that I could e-mail you if you want...let me know. I have also read a lot about various ways of testing for allergies. We have had skin testing done, plus RAST blood tests. Others, like muscle testing and Vega meters are feted or scorned, depending on what you read. I have also heard of computers being attached by electrodes to the patient and "apparently" printing out pages of sensitivity information and advice on food and chemical avoidance. Hmmm, not sure about that one!!!
Anyway, as always, best wishes to you.
Deb.
