A Cure for Milk Allergies?

Thrive, the Children's Hospital Boston blog, is currently featuring entries about a family whose child is undergoing desensitization study at the hospital. Dr. Lynda Schneider, Director of the hospital's Allergy Program, explains the study while the family describes their experience with grocery shopping, the trial, etc. The site explains: "Until recently, the only treatment for allergies has consisted of avoiding the food and managing reactions when they occur. This exposure desensitization trial-the first of its kind in the country-represents a bold new way of thinking about food allergies." The blogs and videos can be seen on the Thrive web site: Food Allergies | Thrive, Children's Hospital Boston's health and science blog
