Various scientists around the world are making some very interesting predictions about the possible elimination of allergies in the near future.
"It is likely that in the next 5 years there will be some type of immunotherapy available for peanut allergic individuals,"
Judging by the wording, (Dutch Dutch), these Dutch researchers must have each paid their own way, at the Festival of Science. LOL.In 2006, Dutch Dutch researchers told the BA Festival of Science in England that food allergies could be consigned to the history books within a decade if the combination of biotechnology and vaccines work as planned.
Of course, in the phrase, "if the combination of biotechnology and vaccines work as planned", that's a pretty big "if". That phrase probably should read "if the combination of biotechnology and vaccines work as planned". LOL.
It's encouraging, though, that so many scientists appear to be working on these concepts. This could turn out to be a way for GM foods to be perceived as much more "user friendly", (at least by those suffering from food allergies).
