test4allergies has no control over the content of these web sites and therefore does not endorse nor recommend their contents. In particular, many of the sites do not offer treatments for allergies, but rather recommend avoiding contact with allergens. Or they may recommend taking pharmaceuticals which suppress the symptoms of allergies, but do not necessarily deal with the root problem which is the immune system's inappropriate reaction to allergens. They are included here for information only.
