Last week in the washington post they ran a story on a doctor over in france that had figured out a way to change diabetic mice to normal by doing a surgery on the large intestine which involved the bypass of part of the digestive track wich produced more insulin ( I believe this is the surgery I don't have the paper and not 100% sure but almost). Anyways they also mentioned a guy from new york who had been taking insulin along with medication for a number of years, he got the surgery and within a month I believe was having normal numbers. Just woundering if anyone else has any more information on the doctor or read anything else on the article. As doctors agree that it is a huge find, they also say they don't want people lining up at hospitals waiting for the surgery as it is still being evaluated. I have been having pre diabetic numbers which I can control with diet and exercise but would love to get this when and if it becomes public, the cost is 25,000 but it si woth it.

Something doesn't seem right.
They found out that it worked on one mouse and then did the surgery on a human?
You would think that they would do extensive research (and we would've heard about the mouse success prior to any human test).
I'm not saying that this isn't true...but I am just baffled that such a breakthrough wouldn't be "mainstream" in the media. Heck, even a successful lab rat test should've been picked up!
(I mean, we all know if Britney sneezes the wrong way...but we're all in the dark about a cure DIABETES?!?!?! :lol: )
Ya know, it probably is very true...which is sad (about the media).
