A treatment for peanut allergies using peanuts themselves is
within reach after a dramatically successful trial. Nine out of ten
allergic children were gradually able to eat five peanuts a day in a
study that freed them of the fear of accidentally eating nuts. NHS
clinics could start using the method within a year, though experts
told parents not to try the therapy at home, saying that it must be
done in specialist centres. About one percent of children have
peanut allergies, which were unknown 20 years ago. Several
children die each year from anaphylactic shock after eating
peanuts and thousands more live in fear of setting off an
immune reaction. Researchers in Cambridge looked at 99
children aged 7 to 16, half of whom were given a daily dose of
peanut protein equivalent to a seventieth of a peanut. This
doubled every two weeks until it reached 800mg, equivalent to
five nuts. Although some children felt sick, 84 percent tolerated
this dose. Half could cope with ten peanuts and when the control
group was later given the therapy, 91 percent were able to eat
five peanuts, researchers say in The Lancet.
