What CAAEE is
CAAEE, the Coalition for Allergy, Asthma & Eczema Education, is a patient-education publisher. Every article is written by a named, practicing clinician: board-certified allergists, immunologists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners, each with a public profile on our medical team page. CAAEE explains conditions and treatments; it does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Readers who need care are pointed to licensed external healthcare providers, and our education is never a substitute for professional medical advice.
CAAEE is supported by healthcare sponsorship, including Curex, and some outbound links are compensated referrals. That relationship is disclosed on our About page and in our disclaimer, and it is the honest context for every treatment comparison we publish: we explain the evidence, we name the options by brand where readers search by brand, and we tell you who funds the site.
How content is maintained
Each article carries its author, publication date, and last-modified date (visible on the page and in its structured data). Articles are revised continuously as search data shows what readers actually ask and as treatment facts change; the sitemap's last-modified dates are kept truthful. Errors or outdated facts can be reported through the contact page.
