[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its a tolerance induction program, where the kids get a very micro amount of the allergen (amount is cutomized based on each kid)  and then over time increase the amount.  This is an overgeneralization....but the gist of the method.[/quote]

I have a couple friends with kids with food allergies who do what sounds to be a similar program through Johns Hopkins, which is much closer than LA. Is there some reason people would fly cross country rather than drive to Maryland? Or maybe some posters are closer to the west coast?[/quote]

This is called OIT therapy. Schreiber allergy does this. [/quote]

Should have added Schreiber is in Rockville and does peanut OIT that I known of but no believe others. Folks used to fly places because this was a “new” therapy that not allergists did/do. It’s a time consuming process on both the part of the child and the office. [/quote]

She definitely does it for other allergens not just peanut. My child is doing milk.[/quote]
