    Look into the University of West Virginia immuno-suppressive
    work of a few years ago. They found enzymes to stop the Type
    1 diabetic destruction of beta cells in lab animals, and
    were startled when the animals spontaneously developed new
    beta cells and were no longer diabetic.

    But you *must* stop the auto-immune problem first for your
    own beta cells to regenerate and have it do you any good.
    And we Type 1 diabetics are perhaps 5% of the diabetics in
    the world: it doesn't do a hell of a lot of good for the
    Type 2's, who have insulin resistance. So it's good stuff,
    don't get me wrong! But it's not a cure-all.
