What Is The Progress Made for The Study of Curing Allergies?
The progress for curing allergies is not far. Their trick isn't to use medicine but it's to make them eat small doses of what their allergic to at a time. If successful, they keep making them eat larger and larger portions. Studies show that out of 32 kids being testes, only 25% had allergic reactions. The progress is amazing but it still has a long ways to go.
