Dr. Rapp is
a board-certified environmental medical
specialist and pediatric allergist. She is also a homeopath. She
served as Clinical Assistant
Professor of Pediatrics at the State University of New York at Buffalo until January 1996. She practiced traditional allergy
medicine for 18 years. After learning about environmental
medicine in 1975, Dr. Rapp began to incorporate the principles of environmental medicine into her pediatric
allergy practice.
Dr. Rapp is a past President of the American Academy of Environmental
Medicine. She is also the author of the best selling book "Is
This Your Child?" and "Is This Your Child's
World?” These books will help identify and provide
practical methods of treatment to eliminate
substances which can cause illness and
behavioral changes in both children and
adults.
Dr. Rapp has published 29 medical
articles, authored eight chapters in medical texts, written eleven books and three booklets about allergy. She has also produced numerous educational videotapes and audiotapes for the
public, educators and physicians. Her videos vividly demonstrate the dramatic physical
and behavioral changes in children and adults that can be produced using
the more precise method
of allergy testing called Provocation/Neutralization.
These diagnostic testing and treatment
methods can produce and then relieve symptoms in a few minutes. The identical reactions of which
patients complain can be easily reproduced by asking patients to eat offending foods or to smell offending
odors. Single- and double-blinded research studies indicate changes in the brain waves, immunological blood
factors, psychological tests, writing and drawing, all
of which can occur during Provocation/Neutralization allergy
testing and treatment.
Dr. Rapp believes it is imperative that both the public and physicians recognize that multiple body
areas and a wide range of symptoms can be produced in allergic patients who have unrecognized and
atypical forms of allergies.
Symptoms can be much more than hay fever,
asthma, coughing and itchy skin.
The appropriate allergy treatment for dust,
pollen, molds, foods and
certain chemicals (chlorine, fluoride, etc.) appears to be surprisingly helpful in relieving many acute
and chronic physical, emotional and learning problems in both children and adults.
Dr. Rapp has dedicated her life to providing
research, information and sensible solutions
for those affected by both the typical and
atypical forms of allergies. If entire
families follow her suggestions regarding
diets, air purifiers and nutrition, entire
families find answers and are often helped. |
