title: "Food allergy": Fact or Fiction?
abstract: Six patients with longstanding physical and mental symptoms who had not been helped by many years of conventional medical investigation and treatment experienced immediate relief of symptoms when they avoided certain foodstuffs. This clinical study supports the view that some foods may cause widespread and disabling symptoms in people who are sensitive to them.
