"Doctors in Cambridge believe they may soon have a cure for peanut allergies", BBC News reported. It posted that researchers have a belief that treatment could be made available in coming two to three years.

The research is revealed to follow successful pilot study of a treatment called peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT), in which allergic children are repeatedly exposed to strictly controlled doses of peanut protein.

The team is reported to grab success in previous pilot studies with a technique known as peanut oral immunotherapy. This treatment is aimed to desensitize the immune system to the allergen by gradually increasing its exposure.

In addition, it posted that no attempts should be performed to imitate the treatment at home as severe allergic reactions can be dangerous. If the treatment works it will be offered to children with peanut allergies in the safe and controlled manner that will be necessary for its success.

Dr Clark concluded the results of a previous trial in 23 children between 7 and 17 years of age. These children were given a very small amount of peanut flour in yoghurt every day, and the amount was increased every two weeks until the children could eat five peanuts a day.
