Food Allergy

This book is a practical guide book to the intracutaneous provocative-neutralizing method of food allergy management. The basic principle underlying this method is that in the first instance there is a diagnostic part to this method which consists of production of symptoms by giving an intracutaneous injection of a provoking dose of the food extract, thereby relieving these symptoms by giving successive intracutaneous injections of other dilutions of the same food extract, until the neutralizing dose is found. In the second part in the therapy, the neutralizing doses of all the allergenic foods affecting the particular individual are combined into a simple solution which is injected subcutaneously about twice a week.
