peanut allergy theory backed up by new research

This is the LEAP early intervention study-- the hypothesis being that early introduction of peanuts into high risk infants' diets might be PREVENTATIVE relative to the development of peanut allergy.

Seems to be that the intervention group's rate of PA is lower-- so that much looks awfully promising.

But it's not clear that an identical approach works for all FA prevention in highly atopic infants.  (Which I'd already have predicted, based upon our own experiences with DD).

For me the ones that fall through the treatments and develop allergy need a further study on them!

It is like the 'may contain' statements, traces will cause a reaction for some and not others, its all in that grey area, we need to understand why they fail with current treatments, and focus on them. 


All these cures and studies just add another jigsaw piece to an ever greater complicated puzzle.
