FEATURED BOOK: Heal Your Allergies Permanently and Naturally

Allergists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of allergies. Immunologists study the

reaction of tissues of the immune system to substances that cause allergic reactions.

The immune system is a system of tissues and organs in the body that protects it against

foreign substances. The goal of AAAI is the advancement of the knowledge and practice

of allergy, immunology, and asthma (difficulty breathing due to narrowing of the airway

passage) for optimal patient care.

The AAAAI was established in 1943 and is currently located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Today, the AAAI has more than 6,500 members. Most of the members are board-certified

allergists/immunologists. Those who are interested can learn more by visiting the AAAAI

website, which contains information on conditions and treatment (allowing one to search

by symptoms), professional education and training, and international physician referral

directory, research summaries, practice resources, and more.

The website is one of the most comprehensive in the world on allergies, immunology, and

asthma. AAAI also has an official scientific journal known as The Journal of Allergy and

Clinical Immunology.
