EpiSode 22: Xolair and the future of food allergy treatment w/ Dr. Larry Tsai

For decades, food allergy families have wished for research and medicine to catch up and make something to help people whose bodies recognize everyday food as foe. When the FDA approved Xolair to be used in the food allergy space and it began popping up in allergist offices nationwide (including our own!), we wanted to sit down with someone from the source.
Dr. Larry Tsai is a physician, food allergy parent, and a senior leader at Genentech, the pharmaceutical company that creates Xolair. In this episode, we ask him to explain how the injection works in layman's terms, how it compares to the protection offered by desensitization treatment programs, what this means for the future of food allergy treatment, and more!

Saw my arm off worth it-100% 😂 TIP is so hard-it is all emotions tied together in a big ball of hope. My son is still in the early stages but so far no issues-praying this continues. It will be so worth it to achieve food freedom!
