The Live-saving Potential of Toothbrushing
It is a well-known fact that toothbrushing is essential to good oral health and overall well-being. But what if it could also be the means for delivering essential proteins to induce tolerance in individuals with peanut allergies? Writing in the August/September NYSDJ, Drs.
