The
doctor made an experiment which the children able to reduce their symptom of
allergy when they grew up. After half a year since the experiment start, in 96
samples of children and teens, 80% is able to eat 2 ~ 3 peanuts and 2/3 is able
to eat 10 peanuts without and symptom. The doctor says that this will decrease
the anxiousness about the family members of those patients who is suffering
from the allergy. They hope that those peanuts will help the patients get used
to it. After this when the patient encounters with peanut product, they will be
much better than the situation if they haven’t involved with this experiment.
However, the this treatment idea have a problem. The process might scare the patients’
family and influence their normal life.
In
my opinion, I think this experiment is capable. This experiment is something
that can make someone might die from peanut allergy in the future become alive.
I think humans are able to adjust to something that’s harmful to them if they
have contact with it in a limited amount for a long time. My brother is
extremely sensitive to nuts product and nuts for some reason. Every time he touches
that stuff, he will swallow up like a balloon. He looks very funny but it’s
actually extremely dangerous and painful. Being a family member of a person
like this, I really hope that doctors can also create something like that to
cure my brother.
