A new documentary by a North Vancouver couple that's intended to help viewers learn about the possible causes of the explosion in children's food allergies and what's being done to help cure them is set to air on CBC TV's The Nature of Things, Thursday.
The Allergy Fix, by Bruce Mohun (writer/director) and Sue Ridout (producer), follows a Canadian child for a year, finding out what happens as he goes through a ground-breaking peanut desensitization program, according to a press release.
The documentary also details the latest research and treatment of other food allergies, from which an increasing, and alarming, number of children suffer.
The Allergy Fix will air on CBC TV Thursday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m., then will be repeated March 2 at 2 p.m. and March 3 at 11 a.m., and on the CBC News Network March 1 at 4 p.m.
