My best one is here: http://cureresearch4type1diabetes.blogspot.com/2008/10/faustmans-research-part-1-history.html<BR/><BR/>It is important to realize that the drug she is testing now (BCG) has been tested before (five times, by my count) to prevent or cure type-1 diabetes. All those tests failed. Also, this drug is different than the drug that Faustman herself used to cure type-1 in NOD mice. That drug was CFA, but CFA is too toxic to give to people.<BR/><BR/>You can see a summary of all human trials aimed at curing type-1 diabetes here: http://joshualevy.pbwiki.com/DiabetesCureReadyForHumanTrials<BR/><BR/>You can see how far behind Faustman is, when compared with Diamyd, ToleRx, Burt, Osiris, LCT, etc. <BR/><BR/>Joshua LevyJoshua Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300553471793001620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472921328078253036.post-1448417170982308922009-04-05T07:04:00.000-07:002009-04-05T07:04:00.000-07:00Hi there, I hadn't heard about this research befor...Hi there, <BR/>I hadn't heard about this research before and it is very interesting, thank you. You may be also interested to know about another human clinical trial to cure type 1diabetes in people who have the condition for a while. This human clinical trial is at the end of Phase 1 now and is led by Dr Nathan and Dr Denise Faustman in Harvard, Mass, USA. This trial involves using a previously approved drug too, in order to cure the diabetes and as I understand it, when the inflammation is cured, insulin producing cells start to produce insulin again in the pancreas by themselves. If you google Dr Denise Faustman, you will be able to read all the information in more detail.<BR/>Regards Aine in IrelandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
