| Stem cells may be cure for diabetes |
|---|
Really great news on the medical front. A
Brazilian study
has demonstrated that by using diabetes patients' own stem cells, Type 1 diabetes can be halted and perhaps reversed!
| The study suggests a new avenue for treating the intractable disease, in which the immune
system destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Without insulin, patients can't metabolize sugar and run the risk of developing
nerve damage, cardiovascular disease, kidney failure and blindness.
Patients with Type 1 diabetes typically compensate by monitoring their blood-sugar levels every few hours and injecting themselves with insulin as
many as five times a day.
After the stem-cell treatment, "patients are absolutely medication-free — they're off insulin," said Dr. Richard Burt, chief of the Division of
Immunotherapy for Autoimmune Diseases at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago and senior author of the study.

Stem cell research does indeed show enormous promise in combating many terrible and debilitating diseases. However, perhaps without exception,
the stem cells being used to make these types of breakthroughs are not of the embryonic variety. A fact that, in my view, belies the
staunch pro-abortion and political motivation of the embryonic stem cell research camp.
