Medical Disclaimer

General information only

Everything on this website — including pages about sublingual immunotherapy, oral immunotherapy, ongoing research, family stories, and information sessions — is provided for general educational purposes only. It is intended to help BC families understand food allergy topics in plain language, so they can have more informed conversations with their own healthcare providers.

We are not a healthcare provider

Canadian FAIT Research is an independent education platform. We are not a clinic, hospital, medical practice, or healthcare provider. We do not examine, diagnose, treat, or manage any patient. Nothing on this site should be understood as medical care.

No diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention claims

Content on this site does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, allergy, or condition. Descriptions of treatment approaches such as sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) and oral immunotherapy (OIT) are educational summaries only. They are not instructions, protocols, or recommendations for any individual, and they do not guarantee any outcome. No treatment described on this site is presented as a cure.

This site does not replace professional medical advice

Nothing on this website should ever replace the advice, diagnosis, or treatment of a qualified healthcare professional. Always consult your child's doctor, pediatrician, or a board-certified allergist before:

• Making any decision about food allergy treatment
• Starting, stopping, or changing any therapy
• Introducing a known allergen to your child in any form
• Interpreting a test result or symptom your child is experiencing

Only a qualified healthcare professional who has examined your child and reviewed their medical history can advise on what is safe and appropriate for them.

In a medical emergency

If your child is having a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) or any medical emergency, do not use this website for guidance. Use an epinephrine auto-injector if one has been prescribed, and call 911 (or your local emergency number) immediately.

Individual results vary

Any family stories, quotes, or experiences shared on this site reflect individual situations. They are not a guarantee or prediction of what any other person will experience. Food allergies and their management vary significantly from person to person.

No provider relationship

Reading this website, registering for an information session, or contacting us through this site does not create a doctor-patient or healthcare provider relationship between you and Canadian FAIT Research.

Use of this site

By using this website, you acknowledge that you understand it is for general education only, and that you will consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any decisions about your child's food allergy care.
