Bone Marrow and Allergies

I just found this article online and am really intrigued by it! Basically, a boy had a severe peanut allergy and then got leukemia. He got a bone marrow transplant, which gave him the immune system of a healthy person - who happened to not be allergic to peanuts - and now he is not... http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/11/08/10-year-old-boy-cured-serious-peanut-allergy/?intcmp=latestnews I'm curious if that would translate to my situation...obviously not cure leaky gut...but would I be able to eat eggs, apples, beef, grapes and the tons of other things I can't have right now?? I think it is really fascinating!!

  1. Interesting Cathy! Yeah, that would be really neat if the results could translate to your food restrictions as well.
