Well it's an established Immunology center where I live. So I believe it would be a private practice. Well my fist visit was the 27th of August, I had previously gone to other allergy doctors for my allergies and I had done a blood test this year so all of my previous medical records were given to this doctor. On the 28th I returned to the center and I had done the food challenge. I am not too sure how other food challenges are given as far as what is given orally, but they had given me a mixture of grape juice with peanut powder mixed. Every 15 minutes the dosage was increased through a syringe they had given me orally. Once I had signs of a reaction the food challenge and from that my doctor determined how much of the solution I would start off with. I take a specified amount of this peanut solution every day twice a day. Once with my breakfast and once with my dinner. I was instructed to make sure I have consumed food before I take it. So far the treatment has been going well. I go every Tuesday morning with my mother and they give me a new increased dosage and I wait there for about a hour so they can monitor my premature, heart rate, blood pressure and make sure my body can handle the new amount. My doctor told me that he's had many patients in where the treatment has been successful, but I have yet to talk to someone who has actually gone through the entire treatment and hear about their experience. The only thing I can complain about it the taste of the peanut in the mixture I take. Its horrible! I absolutely hate the taste, and the past two weeks that the dosage has increased about an hour after I take it I feel very nacreous and I have stomach pains as well. They go away after a while but it is a big pain and bother during my day. Tomorrow I am going again to see if the dosage will be increased. I am not too sure how my body will handle another increase to be honest.
