Dr Denise Faustman may hold the cure for Type 1 Diabetes. I would like to see Oprah give her some needed publicity as she tries to raise the funds to prove it. She is attempting to use a drug used for TB vacinations that has been around for MANY years and is very inexpensive. Because of this she can’t get big pharm backing as there isn’t much money to be made. For more info on her funding struggles check out:

Lets not forget …
Lets not forget there are other auto immune diseases which are more devastating more insidious. Motor Neuron disease for example which should emphasize the importance of Dr Faustmans work. Think of type 1 diabetes cure as a beginning and stepping stone to other auto immune disease.
Unfortunately youre …
Unfortunately youre right. I think Dr Faustman is our only hope.
The JDRF isn’t …
The JDRF isn’t interested in curing diabetes. The JDRF knows that the money is in treating diabetes. It’s simple economics. Nobody will ever market a cure for diabetes. Every two years a news story will come out about a promising discovery to cure diabetes and you never hear any more about it. It’s all BS and there will never be a “MARKETED CURE”.
if the drug is so …
if the drug is so common and inexpensive, why has it taken this long? and, i know this is pessimistic, but if this had any chance of working i would think JDRF and lots of other pharmaceutical companies would be dying to get their hands on it. i mean, who doesnt want to cure type one? but the fact that no one seems to be interested leads me to believe that its kinda “out there” if you know what i mean.
im saying this all as a type one diabetic, diagnosed november ‘07, when i was thirteen.

Look it up. It’s diabetic ketoacidosis. Do some research.

I thank you for your continued interest. I have not received any feedback from any news organization. (I have sent to many) I do receive great feedback from the D community and know that it is making an inpact. Many have contacted me about fundraisers and such. The internet is an amazing thing and who can say whose lap it will eventually land in?!

Great video. We have to raise $25 million to support the phase II trials. So we need to raise awareness of this NOW.
Note that the Iaccoca Foundation is now also sponsoring other diabetes research. So donating directly to Faustman lab is the BEST way of getting money to the research.

Thank you for donating! It really made my day to read this when I got home from a LONG visit to the
ER to find my type 1 son, who also has Celiac, is now dx’d with epilepsy. I kind of needed this pick me up. Thank you!

I must say its …
I must say its great there are people out there who know how I feel. I have had type 1 for 24 years and others longer. When I see these kids in this movie clip I hope they don’t have to put up with type 1 as long as I have, hopefully it will only be a short time in their lives, and hopefully it will be over soon for every body including myself of course as im 32 years old.
I often wonder how I would react when im finally cured. Or should I say if? I can only hope.

Thanks for the suggestions. I really only put them in to give credit for some of the stats I used. I guess I could have worded it different.
I guess soon there will be “Round 2″
