The topic of allergies is very important to me, and not just because runny noses and itchy eyes are pretty miserable. Allergies are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to problems facing our kids. Our world has so many disruptors and triggers to the immune system, and allergies are a potential harbinger of other long term problems with the immune system.
My guest for this episode is someone whose work influence me as a young mom 30 years ago. I bought Dr. Leo Galland’s book Super Immunity for Kids in 1986, when seeking information on the healthiest was to introduce solids foods into my then still breastfeeding son's diet.
Listen in as I chat with Dr. Galland – and his son Jonathan, a lawyer and health activist, and co-author of their book The Allergy Solution – about the allergy epidemic we're seeing and what it's a symptom of.
