I recall a study in Australia about 8 years back that gave young kids a form of peanut as treatment for the allergy and it cured all or nearly all of the participants. It sounded amazing. I always wondered why it wasn't replicated more widely (or maybe I just hadn't heard about it).
Why most schools in Canada seems to have a no-nuts policy (nuts are very healthy), but peanuts are actually legumes?
Why not have a no-peanuts policy and let my children enjoy walnuts?
Same technique was discussed here a year ago (360 comments): <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35197835">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35197835</a>
not sure why this is news.
the babies are given "doses of peanut powder each day for at least two years"..<p>"world-first peanut allergy treatment".. thats like saying milk is a "treatment" to get your daily calcium. all theyre doing is feeding them peanut butter so their bodies get used to it from an early age.<p>israel has a lower peanut allergy per capita because the most popular snack there is bamba (peanut snack), any parent can do the same by offering more food variety to their children<p><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2213219820308254#:~:text=They%20found%20a%20lower%20prevalence,peanuts%20in%20the%20Israeli%20group" rel="nofollow">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S22132...</a>.
