Dr. Clifford Bassett is the founder and medical director of Allergy and Asthma Care of New York…and been called “America’s Allergist” by Dr. Oz. THE NEW ALLERGY SOLUTION: Supercharge Resistance, Slash Medication, Stop Suffering (Avery, March 2017) is Dr. Bassett’s comprehensive guide to demystifying and more successfully managing the allergies that afflict so many Americans each year.

Dr. Bassett has seen his share of patients with confounding, debilitating allergies. In THE NEW ALLERGY SOLUTION, Dr. Bassett simplifies, explains, debunks, and integrates all the exciting new scientific studies in allergy research to keep readers updated on the latest information in allergy research long before it makes its way into public knowledge. Dr. Bassett’s goal is to show readers that traditional, often medication-only allergy remedies focused on symptom management are not always enough. Finding true, lasting treatment for the complex reality of today’s allergies requires a nuanced approach that considers the interplay of diet, mindset, and environment as sources for relief.

THE NEW ALLERGY SOLUTION illuminates Dr. Bassett’s relief strategy in three parts:

Part I explores the root of the problem by explaining how allergies work and why everything from gluten intolerance to eczema to seasonal sniffles has been on the rise for decades.

Part II breaks down every major type of allergy, and many minor ones too– from sinus and seasonal allergies to food and drug allergies – and provides an integrated approach that combines medication and lifestyle modifications to help allergy sufferers treat, reduce and even prevent symptoms.

Part III looks to the future of allergy and asthma management – including long-term solutions such as immunotherapy – and engages a broader discussion of the overall lifestyle changes that can help you live a healthier, more energetic, allergy-free life. Some of Dr. Bassett’s suggestions might surprise you. Did you know that vitamin D can be an important factor when it comes to treating one’s asthma? Or that the diet may influence the risk of allergic rhinitis?

Whether you’re a parent grappling with a child’s peanut allergy, a part-time spring sniffler, or lifelong eczema sufferer, THE NEW ALLERGY SOLUTION is your definitive guide to finding the effective, lasting treatment that will change your life.
