This is a wonderful story and so nice to see detail and clear explanations. Kudos to Kate Bradshaw! To see some help for severely allergic children must be like a miracle to the children and parents. How can we clone Ms BlocK?? What a big heart.

I am a 56 year old school teacher who struggles with food allergies....all my life! They cause sinus and ear infections. I need help to find a cure for these. I am excited to hear the progress of some of your patients in the trial. Thankful that you are making strides to help us.
