[Diabetes-talk] type 1 diabetics read this story won't comethrough

[Mike Freeman]

I'd take this with more than a few grains of salt! To be sure, there are 
mavericks in the science community (Denise Faustman is one) whose work 
has more trouble garnering research dollars than so-called mainstram 
projects. But this has more to do with the natural trends in science to 
adhere to accepted norms in thinking than it does to any supposed 
conspiracy by Big Pharma to suppress valid research.

Also, often stories of supposed breakthroughs actually turn out not to 
be so revolutionary and end up being mostly hype to generate publicity 
and research dollars for particular colleges and universities than they 
are absolute breakthroughs. Read Dr. Billl Quick's share-posts sometime; 
they're eye-openers.

Re Ms. Faustman: actually, I think her research actually now is getting 
some $$$ so if her thesis pans out, we'll know soon.

The one quarrel I have with medical research is that it is not accepted 
practice to have the sort of no-holds-barred criticism and often 
attempts to replicate that is the norm in, say, physics or chemistry.

Cold fusion anyone?

Sorry about that the story wouldn't go through some kind of applicatopn
error.
It is a story about how 12 years ago a man discovered how to cure type 1
diabetes with adult stem cellls and Big Pharma completely ignore the
discovery
