	FREE pump dispenser! A pea-sized drop of Gloves in a Bottle applied to dry, cracked hands every four hours provides a shield against chemicals and irritants and allows the skin’s own barrier to heal and moisturise from within. You can also use this bestselling barrier lotion anywhere there is dry skin so feet, face and dry backs can benefit too. Gloves in a Bottle comes in 2 sizes, 60ml for pocket or handbag and a generous 240ml size that gives over 200 applications.. Both sizes have a flip-top cap but we have a handy pump dispenser to give away FREE with every purchase of 2x240ml size bottles. I find the pump dispenser ideal for the Gloves in a Bottle I keep by the kitchen sink and in the bathroom. To get your free pump dispenser, order two 240ml size Gloves in a Bottle from the website as usual and quote code 080302 at the checkout.

	NEW! A Personal protective Air Purifier to combat chemicals, fumes, odours and particles. The tiny, lightweight AirSupply® is worn round the neck or clipped to a shirt pocket. It’s ideal for pet allergy, asthma, hay fever and COPD and highly recommended for sensitivity to perfumes, cleaning chemicals and VOC's, Sick Building Syndrome and to avoid problems that may result from breathing the recirculated air in aircraft.

	Action Against Allergy recently ran a hugely successful series of workshops for the parents of allergic children at St Thomas’ Hospital in Central London. The Workshops were introduced with a pilot series of three: the first devoted to Food Allergy, the second to Eczema (both held in November 2007) and the third focused on Asthma (in January 2008). Here are some of the comments from those who took part: "Excellent content." "Very good, it is really good that these sessions are being run." "I thought the workshop was well worth attending and the agenda managed to provide for a wide audience whether the parent had a very young allergic child or an older one." "Helpful and informative - would have loved access to something like this 7 years ago." "Very informative for parents new to allergies." "Thank you for running this workshop." Workshop dates for 2008 will be announced soon and if you would like to register your interest in receiving details please send your name and email address to: info@actionagainastallergyworkshops.org

	NEW additive alert website. A new website created by campaigners at The Food Commission can help to identify foods that contain additives that are more likely than others to cause reactions in sensitive people. The website, at www.actiononadditives.com lists over 100 foods, drinks and medicines which contain the suspect food additives and users can also submit new products to add to the list. Allergic reactions to flavour enhancers, food colourings and to benzoates, nitrates and sulphites used as preservatives include asthma, rhinitis and sinusitis, skin problems such as hives, itching, rashes and swelling, digestive disorders such as diarrhoea and colicky pains and nervous disorders such as hyperactivity in children, insomnia and irritability. Meanwhile Professor Brostoff’s book.The Complete Guide to Food Allergy & Intolerance remains the best ever definitive guide to food-related reactions and contains a dedicated appendix on additives. At only £6.99 this book is astonishingly good value. Click here to buy.
