Back in early February, the Neurosciences Institute of Stanford University issued a press release describing their study that had been published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice the week before.

Today, National Public Radio published an interesting article entitled “Could Your Mindset Affect How Well A Treatment Works” providing background and context for the study:
We highly recommend it as required reading for parents of children currently undergoing OIT or those are considering the treatment.
