I didn’t look, but is it a pig pancreas? It makes great sense. That’s how Eli Lilly got their start, although I’m kind of surprised it wasn’t Hormel. It’s kind of creepy though. If I were a transplant candidate, I wouldn’t turn my nose up at it. The really cool thing would be if you could use your own stem cells to grow an organ that your body would not reject. No it’s stem cells. The point was that’s the only thing I’ve heard about. I’m having a lot of trouble getting on this website it’s down it’s up it’s down so I lost the people that quoted me so I apologize I can’t answer you it seems🤷♀️ |

I would like to see his AGPs before the procedure and now. When they say "cured" what does that mean. I wonder what would happen if they had him on afrezza in a tight range and took him off the immunotherapy drugs. I am a big believer in Josal's research which points to diabetes being viral based. Are they right? Maybe. With the increase in diabetics since getting Covid one could argue this gives more weight to the theory. It was mentioned earlier in this thread some "T1's" are now only using afrezza and no longer using a basal. I would like to see their pre/post afrezza AGPs. How could this be possible unless they are now generating nonprandial insulin or they are taking a bunch of little afrezza puffs during the day/night or they are just letting their BG run high until another meal? We have seen time and again early insulin intervention in T2s allows the potential for beta cell regeneration. But then again what is a T2? If you can keep a T1 in tight near normal BG control would we see some beta cell regeneration? If we jump start the regeneration with stem cells could afrezza allow for the tight BG control which would allow the body to regenerate more beta cells? Now those are some studies I would like to see. I suspect VDex has some data on this and some pre/post afrezza AGPs for insulin dependent T2s. |

Dr. Melton had been studying frog development but abandoned that work, determined to find a cure for diabetes. He turned to embryonic stem cells, which have the potential to become any cell in the body. His goal was to turn them into islet cells to treat patients. One problem was the source of the cells — they came from unused fertilized eggs from a fertility clinic. But in August 2001, President George W. Bush barred using federal money for research with human embryos. Dr. Melton had to sever his stem cell lab from everything else at Harvard. He got private funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Harvard and philanthropists to set up a completely separate lab with an accountant who kept all its expenses separate, down to the light bulbs. ============================================================================================= Lazyb, got any unused fertilized eggs?  |

In honor of our esteemable MTOI...
I have some unused eggs, but I was planning on cooking them with some bacon for breakfast.
