" - do you believe the nerve of these scientists professing the antithesis of insulin-dependent diabetes!! Scientist have proven that " " by regeneration of the residual beta cells in insulin-dependent diabetes. Wouldn't this study imply that insulin-dependent diabetes is curable??" "GS4, a water-soluble extract of the leaves of Gymnema sylvestre, was given to 27 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes on insulin therapy. They received 400 mg per day. Their insulin requirements came down together, along with their fasting blood glucose, HbA1c and glycosylated plasma protein levels. Patients in the study receiving insulin therapy only (without Gymnema sylvestre supplementation) showed no significant reduction in serum lipids, HbA1c or glycosylated plasma proteins when followed up after 10-12 months." "in October 1990 says - there are possible ways to regenerate beta cells in insulin-dependent diabetics, previously believed to be nonexistent and gone forever. Never say never, right " "1. I think its well-established that beta cells can regenerate, which is great for people with type 2, but the issue of autoimmunity remains a problem for eradication of type 1, which is why I'm convinced that any cure will have to consist of multiple treatments: one to arrest the immune system dysfunction, and another to regenerate beta cells. Lets see, we now have INGAP, exenatide (Byetta) and now gymnema sylvestre all proven ... read the whole article |
