Children's Hospital Boston has a series of videos about Brett and their Milk Desensitization Study link.
As the videos continue on this Hospital Blog, I hope to learn more about how many patients are participating in the Desensitization? Is their a double blind placebo group? Brett has out grown some of his allergies, are all the people in the study already out growing their allergies? Do the patients have a history of contact allergies? How much milk does Brett's doctors hope he can tolerate? What are the risks for people doing a desensitization? Is their one place where the results of different desensitization studies can be compared?
The media has talked about Desensitization for allergies, some times as if it were a cure, at least in the headlines.
