Question: Are there any effective ways to treat food allergies using alternative medicine?

Dr. Long answers the question: 'Alternative Medicine For Food Allergies?'

Answer: So there are no well-proven remedies from the alternative medicine regime and we do have anecdotal experience from patients who've seen acupuncturist or have used herbal remedies who claim their food allergies have improved.
