  • Hello, I read your post regarding your son going through immunotherapy for peanuts. Did your son have to take an oral challenge for peanuts...if so, now many peanuts did he have to eat to pass? Wondering how many peanuts are required by Army and Navy during the challenge. Thanks

    Hi. My son completed a 75 peanut challenge. It was part of the completion of the program that he followed for immunotherapy. It was not requested by Navy, but we sent all of his records in regarding all of his challenges.

    What was the outcome? Did the military accept him? My son is going through oral immunotherapy also.
    Hello,

    I was going through posts and came across yours. My son is going through OIT and is applying for USNA. I was wondering if your son received a waiver for the USNA?

    Thanks

    Thank you...trying to be positive especially after hearing everyone's stories. Did your doctor have to write a letter or just provide test results?

    We sent in everything...letter from Dr., plus every record we had throughout his 2.5 year process of immunotherapy. NROTC granted waiver based off what we sent in. They didn't ask for further information after initial DQ. Is your son a Sr. now? Or just starting application process?

    He will be a Senior in the fall. His SA athletic recruiter asked for us to provide a letter so he could see if there was a chance that it could be waived before we went to far into the process and he missed out on scholarships from other schools. My allergist was asking if I knew of anyone that had dr letters sent so he could see what verbiage was used. Any chance you would still have your dr letter for reference?
