Yale Scientists Reverse Type 2 Diabetes in Rats
We know what the toxic levels are and we know this cheap chemical can reverse Type 2 diabetes. Let's fast track this baby and get it out to the masses. This is exactly the type of research that DIYers or biohackers would love to work on.
In my opinion, if it's safe in rats and if there are human volunteers, then the drug should be available for general use provided that the public is warned that it hasn't gone through clinical trials.
I dont that would be a good idea at all, it should go through the normal tests and trials before being licenced like any other product.
I say that as a Type 2 sufferer who would like all the much talked about breakthroughs and "cures" to materialise and the sooner the better but the unpleasant truth, for many, is that serious lifestyle adjustments and changes to diet and exercise are part of the remedy and no wonder drug is going to change that, similarly the toxicity of false foods created for mass consumption and food production practice more general pointed up by the Type 2 epidemic need to be considered and other structural factors too, ie the ease with which anyone can take physical exercise, the affordability of in time and access to means for fitness etc. etc. Even public safety, I read a really good article about this, gym membership is on the rise in the UK because people dont feel safe running in the streets or cycling on the roads and streets.
The thing about this too is this doesnt sound like a "cure", it sounds like the present treatments, it is probably just a more effective treatment or another treatment option, the present regime of drugs I use to control insulin resistance, or to try to I should say, sound pretty similar to this. I have been reversing the fatty liver disease with diet, exercise and the drugs, if I get to a waist line of 38 inches or less, reach my BMI perfect etc. I will have "reversed" diabetes, if you follow the jargon of the disease but it wont ever go away, genetically it has been tripped.
I read about some attempts to "cure" type one diabetes, complete insulin inactivity as opposed to insulin resistance and deficient insulin production in the pancreas, through organ transplants, ie a new pancreas, but that wouldnt even work for type two because if you has new liver and pancreas, as I understand it, you would still remain insulin resistant. Of all the things I've read the research into stem cells, now harvestable from adult teeth and not just embryos, is the most promising but I expect it only to be available to anyone, let alone mass marketed, in the generations to come, I'll be dead and gone before all that probably.
