Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 2:50PM Elisabeth Veltman, The Tender Foodie Email Article Print Article Share Article Peanut allergies are on the rise, and New England doctors are beginning to respond with new treatments. A local paper "TheHour.com" ran a story on this on Feb. 13 (excerpt below).
The New England Food Allergy Treatment Center, located in West Hartford, has initiated a new, investigational treatment that may desensitize patients with peanut allergy with the hope that if an allergic individual were to eat something with peanuts they would much less likely experience an allergic reaction. Partners Dr. Mitchell Lester of Westport and Dr. Joseph Sproviero of Easton also have practices in Fairfield county.
"We are providing a unique opportunity for the majority of peanut allergic patients to receive an investigational treatment that has been rooted in previous clinical studies," said Jeffrey M. Factor MD, Medical Director of the New England Food Allergy Treatment Center.
"The research we are conducting will hopefully result in substantial improvement in the quality of life of many peanut allergic patients."
