• Resumen

  • The article looks at research related to food-allergy treatments. Particular focus is given to a study on what is called oral immunotherapy that was published by professor Wesley Burks and colleagues in the July 2012 issue of the "New England Journal of Medicine." The process described involves dosing children with increasingly larger amounts of an allergen, which appears to teach the body to tolerate the allergen. The treatment has been tested with egg, peanut, and milk allergies.
