A new study from the National Institutes of Health demonstrates that children may be able to overcome mild peanut allergies by eating increasing amounts of peanut butter at home. NBC medical contributor Dr.

Children with high-threshold peanut allergies showed incredible improvements after undergoing an 18-month program using store-bought peanut butter to desensitize them. The approach could help nearly a million kids with this type of allergy.
