New breakthrough for people with allergies

British scientists have had an impressive turning point in the treatment of peanut allergy, which is for patients to touch peanuts at increasing daily doses.

This solution can bring a pleasant life to tens of thousands of people.

In the study of the Addenbrooke Hospital in Cambridge, a group of children with severe allergies were drank an extremely small amount of ground powder, and gradually increased the dose.

At the end of the 6-month trial, the children were able to eat up to 12 peanuts a day without a hypersensitivity reaction - a condition that could be fatal if severe, which claimed the average of seven children 's lives each year.

After seeds, other foods will also be tested such as kiwifruit, fish and dairy foods. In addition, experts will also experiment on adults if needed.

"All the children who participated in the experiment said their lives had improved and they had lost their fear of anaphylaxis if they accidentally ate peanuts," said Andrew Clark, from Addenbrooke Hospital in Cambridge. an allergist, the research leader said.

After the test, all 20 participants (ages 7 to 17) will continue to keep the 5 peanut nuts daily serving as a "maintenance dose".
