Peanut Allergy: Need a Wavier

I'm a midshipman at Villanova currently designated SNA and commission 13 May 2011. My flight physical just came back and I was not given a wavier for a peanut allergy that I have and am currently being told that it is not looking good for me to get to go to flight school. I am allergic to peanuts, and go into anaphylactic shock if I eat peanuts. That being said, I have not had a reaction in 20 years; the last time I had a one was when I was less than 18 months old. I only have a reaction when I ingest peanuts, but can be around them and am not my allergy is not as serious as those who cannot be in the same room as someone else eating them. I had a scratch test done for my scholarship in 2007 for DODMERB, and got the wavier for the allergy then. Does anyone know what I can do to get a wavier from NAMI, or get BUPERS to grant me the wavier? Thanks!

Closed as the info was posted/answered elsewhere. THe solution really is....don't eat peanuts. Or any other food you are allergic to.
