Maysa C. of Clayton, NC was the winner of last month’s Free Austin Air Purifier Drawing. Congratulations, Maysa! Enter to win your own free Austin Air Healthmate Air Purifier.

Congratulations to all of the following, who won autographed copies of Dr. Gloria Gilbere's book Pain & Inflammation Matters on our allergy relief blog: Rob K. of Salina, KS; Linda W. of Atlanta, GA; Michelle R. of Conway, AR; and Rebecca H. of Miamisburg, OH.

Rob writes: One of the many things we have done to combat allergies in our house was to acquire a Dyson vacuum cleaner. That seems to have helped out quite a bit with our indoor air quality.

Linda writes: My daughter has an allergy to latex... Two years ago she woke up in the middle of the night with swollen lips. We rushed her to the emergency room, where she was treated for a nonspecific allergic attack. We assumed it was the avocado dip we had enjoyed earlier that day. There were numerous doctor visits & allergist visits, but still no one could offer any reason why the food allergies my daughter suffered did not show up in any allergy test. Then I received your newsletter explaining latex associated food allergies and we understood what her problem was. We are now better able to manage her care thanks to the information in your newsletter. Thank God for you and the services you provide.
