“Our study results suggest a safe, inexpensive and effective pathway for allergists to treat children with peanut allergy who can already tolerate the equivalent of at least half a peanut, considered a high-threshold peanut allergy,” said study lead author Dr. Scott Sicherer, chief of allergy and immunology at Mount Sinai in New York City.

Consuming increasing amounts of peanut butter could cure children with mild peanut allergies, according to a new study, though researchers caution the strategy should not be tried without the input of an allergy specialist.

Children with milder forms of peanut sensitivity may be able to overcome the allergy by eating increasing amounts of store-bought peanut butter.

New research suggests that increasing amounts of peanut butter under medical supervision may help kids with mild peanut allergy add the food back to their diet.

Scientists have discovered a promising new treatment for high-threshold peanut allergies using regular peanut butter.

Following receipt of increasing peanut oral immunotherapy, or home-measured peanut butter, desensitization to peanut protein in children initially able to ingest more than half a peanut was achieved,

Children with high-threshold peanut allergies showed incredible improvements after undergoing an 18-month program using store-bought peanut butter to desensitize them. The approach could help nearly a million kids with this type of allergy.

Children with high-threshold peanut allergies may have a new path toward desensitization through a simple and inexpensive method. A recent study suggests that gradually increasing daily doses of store-bought peanut butter over 18 months significantly improves tolerance to peanuts.
