Description :
I am a young artist who grew up with food allergies. I™ve had multiple food allergies since I was a baby. At the age of 11, I started participating in a food allergy study which helped me towards Conquering My Allergies!? The study took a year to complete, and
now I can proudly say I am eating two peanuts, two cashews, and two walnut halves every day. I still carry Zyrtec/Benadryl and an epipen at all times, in case of a reaction.This book details my journey through the COMBINE study at the Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy and Asthma Research at Stanford University. I describe and illustrate the different visits that I went through in the study. There are also guest appearances from all the clinicians and coordinators who helped me during the study. I am hoping that both this book and my website, www.conqueringallergies.com, that my brother Ethan created for me, will serve as a useful resource for others to learn about what they can do for their food allergies.I also hope to continue to support Clinical Allergy Research so that one day a cure can be found! All proceeds from this book will be donated to the Stanford Children's Packard Foundation, specifically towards the Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy and Asthma Research.
