When will there be a peanut allergy cure?

Peanut Allergy Cure?? .?

  • My little girl had a skin test about 3 1/2 years ago and tested positive for allergy to peanuts, so we have had to avoid numerous foods and going out for meals because of the "may contain nuts" labels. I carry an epipen for my daughter just in case of anaphylaxic shock. When we go away in march i will also have to take a nebulizer as when she has an asthma attack it comes on very quick. But i think it is great that they may have found a cure for peanut allergy? as my little girl will probably grow out of asthma but the nut allergy is life long. I hope that they eventually will find a cure for cancer and stop all the suffering so many people have to go through.

  • Answer:

    The study has so far involved only a relatively small group of individuals but the results do seem to be very promising. They are now hoping to fund a larger study to see whether the continued exposure to small amounts of peanuts will lead to long term protection. I think the cure for cancer is rather further away though.

In the UK they have held the allergy at bay by introducing the patient to peanut flour and then onwards to peanuts. Half a dozen a day is then recommended. This has only just been announced. Visit your GP and pursue this line of medical attention. Do not attempt to experiment yourself. No doubt you have Adrenalin to administer if necessary?

i hope so myself. i also have a nut allergy i can never go out with my family for dinner for a Special occasion because of it. i carry an epi-pen with me all the time and check the labels if it has nuts or "may contain traces of nuts" or "not suitable for peanut/nut suffers and i find it a nightmare. i think ii is great they have found a cure. i don't think asthma you can grow out of but that's just me. when you have a nut reaction more than once, it will go worse.

I hope they find a cure. I was just reading on here a few days ago about a 5 week old baby that had a reaction from smelling peanuts in the air. The doctor does not want to give an epi pen to the mother because of the age of the baby.
