Diabetes cured in mice!
About 1.25 million people suffer from type 1 diabetes in the US alone according to the CDC. As of now it can typically only be managed with diet and regular doses of insulin. Recently, scientists at UT Health San Antonio have invented a way of curing disease in mice that may one day do the same in humans, even for type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas ceases to produce the insulin needed by the body to metabolize sugar. Before the invention of artificial insulin it was a deadly disease. Diabetes is an autoimmune disease. Insulin is made by cells in the pancreas (beta cells) and sometimes the body's immune system turns against itself and attacks these cells, destroying them. Diabetes results when this destruction is over 80%.
Bruno Doiron and Ralph DeFronzo invested the technique that uses gene transfer to alter cells in the pancreases of mice to make them think they are beta cells and start making insulin. This involves taking selected genes from the external beta cells and using viruses as carriers to move them into the new host cells in the diabetic pancreas.
DeFronzo stated that "the altered cells then produce insulin, but only in the presence of sugar, which is how a functioning beta cell should work. Otherwise, the cells would just keep cranking out the hormone, metabolizing all the sugar in the bloodstream and causing hypoglycemia. Only about 20 percent of the lost cells need to be replaced, but if new beta cells are simply introduced, it's likely that the body would attack and destroy them as well. One big advantage of this technique is that it works around the autoimmune system, which ignores the altered cells." (Szondy, 2017)
While there is a large gap between curing diabetes in mice and in human beings, the research team is looking to start human trials in three years after more animal testing.
Insulin is a rescue hormone. The top inflammatory foods that demand insulin production are carbohydrates. Eat foods that are low on the inflammatory food index guide.
I recommend Xymogen's CinnDromX capsules and OptiMetabolix fast-acting shakes to stabilize blood sugar levels. Daily exercise is a must for everyone to stimulate the insulin receptors and improve the intestinal microbiome.
One of the best treatments is ozone chelation. Both therapies have been shown to reverse Type II diabetes. Chelation removes heavy metals that cause cardiovascular disease and free radical activity. Ozone kills pathogens that damage organ systems including the pancreas. The National Institutes of Health TACT Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy showed that 37% of patients with diabetes out of a total of 1700 patients had a 41% reduction in cardiac events, 52% drop in recurrent myocardial infarctions and 43% reduction of deaths. Chelation should become mainstream treatment for Type II diabetes. All Ozone therapies are MD ordered and supervised in NYS.
