Members of the Allergy and Environmental Health Association often have
stories similar to that of your friend.  A worsening autoimmune problem
is dealt with by applying medication which, apparently due to the persons
immune or other sensitivity, is producing side effects that call into
question the price being paid for treatment.
We try to explore what might be triggering the reaction, and try to avoid
that (or those) substances, following an extensive interview, sometimes a
food diary, removal reintroduction testing, and various other tests of
varying reliability.
Some doctors concerned about these problems have made exaggerated claims
concerning the comprehensiveness of their comprehension, which caused a
backlash in other, obviously just as brilliant medical men and women.
If doctors had been less concerned about the proper intellectualization and the
ir egos....etc etc etc
