allergies increasingly higher doses of milk over time may ease, and even help them completely overcome, their allergic reactions
According to the results of a study led by the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center and conducted jointly with Duke University.
Despite the small number of patients in the trial--19--the findings are illuminating and encouraging, investigators say, because this is the first-ever double-blinded and placebo-controlled study of milk immunotherapy, Science Daily wrote.
In the study, the researchers compared a group of children receiving milk powder to a group of children receiving placebo identical in appearance and taste to real milk powder. Neither the patients nor the investigators knew which child received which powder, a rigorous research setup that minimizes the chance for error and bias.
