Welcome: Andrew Taylor

I would just like to take this first blog post to say 'Hello' to you all and welcome to our new blog, we will post a new one every Wednesday with each being written by a variety of authors.. I am sure many of you will have been aware of our relaunch. We have streamlined our branding, have a new name and will now have regular updates on our social media platforms.

Our new name is Allos Review and we are delighted with the name and the logo we have made for it. The word 'Allergy' was originally Allergie, created by a German doctor who combined the greek roots: allos, meaning "other, different or strange" and ergon, "activity". To this day we are still unsure of what allergies really are and they are still viewed as medically "strange". It is for this reason we went for Allos as we like to do things a bit differently. we hope you like it almost half as much as we do.

The times we live in are ever changing and at many times can be stressful. We are going through one of the biggest challenges in recent generations and, for many, life will have changed greatly. We hope that you can get back to 'normal' as soon as possible and one of the best ways to do that is to eat with friends and family. It will take time to feel totally comfortable eating out again but that's okay and we hope we can help you on that journey. We really hope you enjoy the new website and make use of the new features and services that we have, and will continue to, update.
