Xolair - A Solution for those with Peanut Allergies

A few months ago my allergist suggested I use Xolair to try to mitigate my peanut allergy.  I have pretty violent results when I smell, touch or eat peanuts.  Xolair is being tested to help reduce the reaction to peanut allergies.  I ended up opting out of taking Xolair because I had to work and go to school and it took three months to participate in the study.  The study results can be accessed by clicking on Xolair Study.  

The results of the study were impressive.  People with severe peanut allergies were able to tolerate much larger doses of peanuts than they had been able to in the past.  I am rethinking my decision to postpone trying Xolair.
