On going clinical trials are exploring ways of having patients eats peanuts and seeing the effects. The data is promising but preliminary and not yet ready for wide spread use.

Not yet: Unfortunately, there is not yet a "cure" for peanut allergy. Avoidance is the main treatment. If exposure occurs, an Epi-pen should be used for serious reactions. There are studies ongoing with peanut allergy treatment - involves feeding increasing amounts of peanuts to patient over time. However, this has risks involved and still not widely available.
