Food Allergy

This, in the words of the authors, is a monograph describing the nature and dynamic mechanism of food allergy, and an outline of a practical approach to the problems inherent in its recognition and management.

Food allergy is described as cyclic or fixed. A cyclic food allergy may go through the phases of masked sensitization, omission, hyperacute sensitization, active sensitization, latent sensitization and tolerance. Without a close study of their actual work it is impossible to assess this, but the authors have positively and accurately described their position in food allergy in such a manner that any debatable points can be readily proved or disproved, and undoubtedly this will be done within a short period.
