“showed that, how kids react to a treatment for peanut allergies, can be profoundly shaped by whether or not those kids were educated about the side effects of the treatment, such that if they learned that the side effects were a by-product of a treatment that would help them. And they learned a little bit about why those side effects arose and that the side effects might even help them in route to overcoming their peanut allergy, had an enormous impact on how quickly they move through the treatment and indeed how much they suffered or in this case did not suffer from those side effects.”
