Bierman, Charles Warren, editor. Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology from Infancy to Adulthood.
This book had more information about allergies, anaphylaxis, and immunology.
There were several chapters and other sections in the book that were very helpful to me
and provided me with a lot of information about each topic. There was a much more
because it gave me a much better understanding of these things and how they work in a
different perspective than the other sources. The immunology chapter helped me
allergies is not completely safe yet and hasnt had much research done on it yet.
This book was a compilation of information from over 100 people, all with either
an M.D., PhD title, or both. Each contributor is listed in the book with a brief description
of who they are, what school they attended, what they studied, and what their degree is
in. It also tells you what it is that they contributed to this book. The book provides all of
Brown, Justin and Cyndi O'Meara, directors. What's with Wheat. Changing Habits, 2016.
This documentary was mainly about wheat and gluten intolerances. It talked about
the effect that wheat and gluten have on the body and what getting rid of it from our diet
could do for us. It talked about the process that wheat goes through that makes it so bad
information that was related to my topic. There was one part in the documentary in
specific that talked about intolerances to food. There were a few things mentioned that
could possibly work in order to help reduce Carissas allergies if nothing else.
Cyndi OMeara is a nutritionist who graduated with a BSc majoring in Nutrition from
Deakin University. Many of the people that were a part of the documentary specialize in
nutrition. David Perlmutter attended the University of Miami School of Medicine where
he received an M.D. degree and awarded the Leonard G. Rowntree Research Award. He
Dr. Terry Wahls is another big part of this documentary. She is a clinical professor of
medicine and the University of Iowa. She has also published a few books about medicine
and diet. She is the Director for Extended Care and Rehab Service Line at the Veteran
Affairs Iowa City Health Care System. There are many others that were a big
contribution to this documentary, all of which are well-versed in the area of nutrition like
Hyman, Mark. How to Stop Attacking Yourself: 9 Steps to Heal Autoimmune Disease. Dr.
steps-to-heal-autoimmune-disease/.
This was a blog is about autoimmune diseases and how to heal them. In the blog
he tells a story about one of his patients that had all sorts of problems and was told that he
had some autoimmune disease, but they werent sure which one. He developed several
more problems with his health and eventually went to Dr. Hyman. After visiting Dr.
Hyman, he was in significantly better health, and everything was back to normal. He
notes many different things to help the immune system and heal the body.
The information that I found useful was about using supplements to help the
immune system. Dr. Hyman, gave his patient nutrients like fish oil, vitamin C and D, and
probiotics. These nutrients help build up the immune system. He also suggests
completely getting rid of all allergens in the diet. While that may seem incredibly
obvious, it can be very difficult for Carissa because of how sensitive she is to the
allergens. He also mentions reducing inflammation, which helps heal the body too.

Directories of Resources for Additional Help. Fifth ed., Omnigraphics, Inc., 2016.
This book contains basic information about different types of allergies and a little
bit about the immune system dealing with allergies. There were included chapters on
things such as, egg and dairy allergies, histamine, immunology, and the immune system.
The first part of the book talks about how the immune system works in relation
with allergies. This gave me a little more knowledge about the immune system in regard
to allergies. Other parts of the book that were useful to me were chapters about
anaphylaxis and food allergies, milk allergies, egg allergies. Those sections of the book
were very helpful in my understanding of why allergies and their symptoms occur. It also
informed me about something called immunology, which could be useful in the future.
This book is a part of a series called the Health Reference Series. The book

for Coping with Immune Disorders, a Glossary, and a Directory of Additional Resources.
The book contains a wide variety of information about immune system disorders.
In the first part of the book it gives in-depth information about the immune system itself
and how it works. I used this book mainly for that information. There were also some
other things in the book that were of use to me. It included two separate chapters, one on
allergies, and another on anaphylaxis. There, it talked about some basic information
There was a lot of helpful information in this book that helped me better
understand the immune system. I needed to know more about how the immune system
works and parts of the immune system in order to learn more about allergies in general. It
gave me a lot of knowledge about the dynamics of the system and a little background

Schulze, Richard. Colds & Flu: A Clinical Doctor/Patient Manual. 1st ed., Natural Healing
Publications, 2010.
This book is about naturally treating the cold and flu, and building the immune
system. Dr. Schulze goes in-depth in explaining how the immune system works, which is
what interested me. His purpose in explaining the process of the immune system, was to
help the reader understand what is going on and to give them a background of how
everything works. It is stated that there is no need to know about that if the reader is
looking just to feel better, but it is thought to be necessary to explain the behind the
scenes to the reader to help them better understand what really goes on in their body
I learned a lot about the immune system from this source. I learned mostly about
T and B-cells and what their role is in fighting off sickness and disease. The book also
talked about how the immune cells have neuropeptide receptors that allow the cells to
listen and react to your thoughts and emotions, which ultimately means that, staying
positive is a huge part in healing. This is all related to my inquiry topic because, I am
trying to get a better understanding of how the immune system works in order to help
Dr. Richard Schulze was told at the young age of 16, that he would be dead by 20
if he didnt undergo a massive, open-heart surgery to fix his deformed and diseased heart.
His heart wouldnt be able to pump a sufficient amount of blood throughout an adult
body, as a result, he would die. He chose not to go through with the surgery and
completely changed his entire lifestyle. When he was 19, he went back to the same
doctors that told him he would die, and they were amazed. His heart had completely
healed and was healthy. They told him it was a miracle. Since then, Dr. Schulze has
acquired seven degrees (two doctorates and two masters) in areas such as, Herbology and
Natural Medicine. He also has eight different types of body therapy certifications. He
taught at the school he graduated from for about 2 decades, while working directly with
other famously known natural doctors. He has owned, directed, managed several clinics
around the globe since the early 1970s, and in that time, he has had over thousands of
patients. Most of his patients have been told that there is nothing that can be done for
them and so they went to Dr. Schulze, the Herb Doc, and were miraculously healed.
