This may be of helpful to those of you working extensively with food
sensitive clients. The following article (excerpted) appeared in the

"Food-sensitive find new bible: Huge reference text costs $300

"Doctors and dietitians are heralding a new book that seems destined to
become a bible for treating the thousands of Canadians who suffer from food
sensitivities.

Janice Joneja is an immunologist who heads Vancouver Hospital's allergy
nutrition clinic, the only program of its kind in Canada, and she's put the
expertise she gained in the lab and the clinic to work.

The result is a reference manual that's as bulky as the phone book and
prohibitively expensive ($300) for lay people, but a godsend for clinicians
who haven't been able to give adequate relief to people who react badly to
foods.

'We use it almost daily,' said Kathleen Quinn, executive director of
Dial-a-Dietitian, a free, BC-wide nutrition hotline that receives 17,000
calls a year.

Quinn said no other reference book on food sensitivities is as comprehensive
or current. She finds its special diets for people sensitive to sulphites
and other food additives especially useful.

Dr. Leo Galland, a New York City allergist, called the book 'a must' for
doctors, nutritionists and nurses who treat people with food intolerance...

Drawing on her experience treating sufferers, and on 10 years of lab work,
Joneja has created tools for dealing with troublesome and potentially even
fatal food allergies.

She has developed ways to pinpoint problem food components and devised
healthy diets eliminating them, a process that began partly because her son
and daughter, now university-age, were 'the most allergic children ever
born...'"

Dr. Joneja has also written on human milk--I have an excellent article from
the Canadian Family Physician Vol. 38, Aug/92 pp 1849-1855 entitle "Breast
Milk: a vital defense against infection."
