Q: How come you can not cure diabetes?
I know there are treatments for diabetes but I do not know the reason on why you can not cure diabetes, any type of diabetes. Please Help! Thank You.
A: It all boils down to the fact that it is just too complicated to cure.
Many people have had pancreas transplants but the transplant is difficult due to the fact that the pancreas is very delicate and not everyone is an organ donor. Right now they only do these transplants when someone is dying from diabetic complications. My uncle had a pancreas/kidney transplant and lived for 15 years until he had a heart attack.
Doctors all over the US and Canada have been working on islet cell transplantation. I know that in Philadelphia they had cured several people this past summer. The islet cell transplantation is only in the clinical trial stages right now. The medical community has recently found a better way to transplant these cells and they have had better results but it will be years before this is available to all diabetics. I was in the clinical trial in Philly and only know all of this info because I asked. I unfortunately had other health problems and had to drop out.
The medical community has been working for years on an artificial pancreas or implantable insulin pump. There have been way too many problems with these however.
There seems to be new discoveries and hope on the horizon everyday. I’ve been reading for years that a cure is just around the corner. Hopefully one day soon someone will find the thing that finally works perfectly.
Q: How does gene therapy work to cure diabetes?
Can someone please talk me through step by step the process of gene therapy! and how potentially in the future it could be used to cure diabetes. Thanks! And if you have any sources post the link to please
A: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/21c/genetics/geneticdiseasesrev2.shtml
Have a look at the website above – it helped me to understand Gene Therapy better. The website is really good in explaining the simple steps. Hope you find this useful.
Q: Can you tell me the story that how to cure diabetes?
I am interested to know how cure diabetes by the treatment of homeopathy. There are lot of remedy in homeopathy to copeup with diabetes symptom. So far I am concerned specifically there no remedy for diabetes.
A: There is no cure at the time for either Type I or Type II Diabetes. Diabetes can only be controlled. It sure would be great if you could come up with something that will work! You’d be very wealthy! Good luck!
Q: I have read that there is a intestine surgery method to cure diabetes?
I read that now diabetes can be CURED by a surgery, replacing small intestine parts, which are know as producing some insulin, to stomach where they can secrete insulin..is that true?
A: the only surgery even contemplated now to cure diabetes is a pancreatic transplant – is it really worth going down that direction?
keep in mind that a) whilst you will not require insulin
b) any transplant involves subduing your immune system which means you have to be extremely careful for any type of illness / infection and also there is no guarantee that whatever caused your diabetes in the first place that it will not happen again.
i am diabetic but would not consider that an option, they are constantly coming up with new ideas though, so best wait and see a few more years down the line – something like using your own cell tissue to fix your pancreas sounds more realistic, even if it is still a long way off
Q: How do you cure diabetes?

Q: Can sweet potato be a cure for diabetes?
This is for our research thesis. Please do answer. What are the components of sweet potato that can cure diabetes???
A: Not likely. Trust me, if it were that simple it would have been done already.
They’re loaded with carbs and don’t benefit ME in any way. They can only be of help if the glucose-raising carbs can be controlled.
Q: Where can I find arguments against an approaching Type 1 diabetes cure?
I’m researching the possibility of cure for Type 1 diabetes, and my argument is that there will be a cure in the near future, if funding improves and if beta cell and immune research continues. This is for my AP research paper, and no, I’m not making others write it. Suprisingly, I can’t find a sufficient article arguing that a diabetes cure WON’T come soon, so i’m simply asking, does anyone know where I can find one? Any tips or sites are helpful, thank you!
A: …as much as I dislike the fact that you are asking yahoo-answers for an AP Essay….I’ll help you, my approach would be through stem-cell, maybe grow a healthy pancreas and have a transplant it in, and irradiate your immune system and transplant bone marrow
Q: What makes Dr. Faustman think that treating people with Diabetes with BCG will cure it?
I understand she successfully cured Diabetes in mice but this treatment has already been studied in prior research and has been given as part of standard vaccinations to people in Europe. If anyone with a good background in science can explain why her method would be more advanced, that would be most appreciated.
A: To respond to the second posting:
Dr. Faustman used the well-known immune stimulant called CFA (complete Freuds Adjuvant) initially in her mice research. As you state, one can not use CFA in humans as it is not safe. However, you did not mention that she searched for an equivalent substance known to have the same stimulatory effect that she could use in humans. She found the generic, safe and readily available substance called BCG. She has publicly stated that she also used BCG in mice with the same original effects as CFA. The human trials are currently using BCG. Faustman has shown, along with other scientists from other labs, that these immune stimulants stimulate the production of TNF alpha in the body. It is also shown that in the presence of elevated TNF alpha levels, the targeted autoreactive T cells responsible for continually killing the islet cells die off.
Dr. Faustman’s later experiments revealed that the role of islet regeneration may come from precursor cells in the spleen, or splenocytes. This belief has no part in whether her treatment will work in humans or not as she never planned to use these cells in her protocol. Dr. Faustman is attempting to eliminate the underlying autoimmune disease by first “selectively” killing off the autoreactive T cells while sparing healthy cells. Once the autoimmune cells are truly eliminated, it is believed and heavily supported by other research that regeneration of islet cells can occur even in those who have lived with diabetes for many years. Research has found that regeneration of islet cells may occur from existing islet cells in the pancreas, or from stem cells found in the pancreas, or what Faustman’s research has shown from one’s spleen. By the way, Dr. Faustman’s research showing regeneration of islet cells from splenocytes was replicated by an NIH group showing 100% replication results. In any case, Faustman and others believe that the ability of regeneration of islets can occur probably from different sources. However, it’s the elimination of the underlying autoimmune disease that may very well be the key for this to happen as a cure. The goal of Dr. Faustman’s project is to remove the disease with a safe substance so that the body can then have time to regenerate new islet cells.
It is also important to point out that since Dr. Faustman’s discovery many human clinical trials in the field of blocking the autoimmune disease and regeneration have started. Most, if not all of these are recruiting only newly diagnosed patients. Most of these trials continue to use different immune suppressant drugs, some with a history of severe side effects when used for life threatening diseases like lymphomas. Not one of these human trials is attempting the selective removal of disease.
Dr. Faustman’s phase I human clinical trial using BCG started in January of 2008 and is estimated to be completed this summer. Phase II of the human clinical trial is expected to start at the end of the year depending solely on funding.
To answer the first posting:
You are right when you say that other scientists in the past have used BCG in mice and even in human clinical trials. However, these human clinical trials only used “one vaccinated dose” of BCG while they looked for an end result of reversal of diabetes. They also did not know the mechanism of why BCG had an effect in mice but, proceeded to human clinical trials anyway.
It is known from Dr. Faustman’s studies and others that BCG, as an immune stimulant, stimuates the natural production of TNF alpha in the body. In the presence of elevated TNF alpha levels, the targeted autoreactive T-cells (responsible for killing the islet cells) die. Dr. Faustman’s studies show that it will take “a lot more than one vaccinated dose” of BCG to show any sort of end result of reversing diabetes ( ie: decreased insulin doses or off of insulin totally).
It is very important to mention that Faustman’s human clinical trial has the means of reliably measuring the killing off of these autoreactive T-cells with TNF alpha. Therefore, determining increased dosing of BCG has the best chance of being successful in phase II of her human clinical trail. Past BCG trials did not have this means.
A good analogy is the use of antibiotics to treat an infection. Imagine if science only tried one dose of an antiobiotic to test its ability to clear an infection? We all know that it takes a lot more than 1 dose to see the end result of clearing that infection.
Q: Ethical issues for gene therapy to cure diabetes?
Is there any ethical issues in gene therapy to cure diabetes. This is where they take insulin genes from a donor and inject them into a diabetic so they can produce their own insulin.
A: None that I can see as long as the donor is willing.
Q: What is the natural cure for Diabetes and Multiple sclerosis?
You always hear about natural cures for diseases, but you never hear of what they are or even the treatments. I’ve heard there is a natural cure for Herpes, diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, and hypertension, but no one ever seems to know what they are, or where they can be found. I have even read that book ‘Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About’ by Kevin Trudeau and he just beats around the bush. Is there anyone out there with solid evidence and answers?
A: I am sure that if there was solid evidence backed by real proof of natural cures for diseases that _many_ healthcare professionals would be talking about them, they would be in respected journals, even the so-called ‘evil’ pharmaceutical companies would be manufacturing ‘enhanced’, ’safer’, ‘more effective’ natural cures. Just look at all the various companies that make different kinds of Vitamin C, Rosehips, Iron pills, and the like for your local grocery store.
IMHO, I think you’re best bet is to work with a professional doctor.
===============
Be cautious when referencing Kevin Trudeau’s “Natural Cures They Don’t Want You To Know About.” Do a little reading on this guy, then decide for yourself. Personally, I think he’s a huckster out to make a buck using ridiculous claims backed by pseudo-science and possibly outright untruths .. but that’s just my opinion .. and some other people like doctors, respected journalists, etc.

Q: What can you tell me about a natural diabetes “cure”…?
mentioned by Kevin Trudeau in his updated edition of his “Natural Cures” book. He references an interview with a Dr. Yung Su Kim and a “combination of herbs researched at the University of Calgary, called by the Asian Diabetic Association” the final cure for diabetes.
I’ve googled this as best I could but come up with a variety of different things. Has anyone found this product or even used it that can tell me more?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
A: Global trotter is half right. Allow me to amplify on his/her answer.
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) is not curable but it is REVERSIBLE.
The first step, if you are overweight, is weight loss. This in itself may be enough to reverse your BG numbers.
Tofu and other soy products are harmful and should be avoided; the only safe soy is that which has been FERMENTED: tempeh, miso and natto.
Quality protein is necessary for good health. Fish is terrific but high in mercury; choose small fish, low on the food chain, like sardines and herring, or choose a quality fish oil like Garden of Life or Carlson’s. Go for organic meats and poultry if at all possible (you may be able to find an affordable local source) since commercial meats are pumped full of undesirable hormones and antibiotics.
Choose veggies that are not starchy and not calorie-dense. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, celery, tomatoes, spinach, chard, mushrooms – you get the idea. Stay away from potatoes, yams, etc.
Avoid grains, yes, even whole grains. No refined flours, white rice, pasta. I’ve found oatmeal (5-minute, not instant) to be the only grain that does not spike my blood glucose. No sweeteners, or course. In fact, it should be obvious that sugar in any form is off the menu if you are serious about reversing DMT2. The only non-calorie sweetener that is perfectly safe is stevia.
Whole eggs are one of the healthiest foods you can eat. Include healthy fats as well to help you feel full: butter, lard, raw cream, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil. Avoid Omega-6 fats like margarine and vegetable oils; not only are they GMO, they upset our Omega-3 vs. Omega-6 balance that is instrumental in heart disease.
Global trotter is right about exercise too. A half-hour of walking a day would be ideal, but any activity is helpful, even 10-minute bursts of this and that. The more activity, the faster those numbers come down.
There are a whole series of supplements and herbs that are supposed to help lower BG or improve insulin receptivity. I’ve tried them all – cinnamon, bitter melon, GTF chromium, ALA, Gymnema Sylvestre etc. – none of them helped me at all. Diet and exercise are what’s working for me. Good luck and stay focused!
Q: When will scientists find a cure for diabetes?
I have a sister that has diabetes, im really hoping that scientists will find a cure very soon.
A: I’ve been a diabetic for 15 years. Trying to determine when scientists will find a cure for diabetes is akin to determining when God will return to rapture the church…it may happen tomorrow, next week, next month, next year…50 years from now!? Only God and time will tell.
The Bible says that in the end of times, doctors will find cures for many diseases. We see more and more cures everyday, so I feel that his return will be sooner than we think…when God comes back, those who’ve made the decision to follow him, won’t worry about a cure…we’ll be cured as we meet Jesus in the air! Either way, whether cured by science or God, we’ll be cured one day!
Don’t worry, Darlin’, you’ve got many, many people praying with you for God to bless us with a cure. Until then, stay steadfast in your faith and claim the cure and healings from the Lord.
God’s blessings on you and yours…Always!
Q: Is there insulin injection to cure diabetes forever?
I heard from reliable sources that there is an injuction which cure diabetes permanently.It is avialable in american and since last two years it is avialable in India as well as in mumbai.If it is so let me know where should I get it and what will be the cost of it and morever is it cure permanently in an injuction?
A: We received an unsolicited e-mail on October 19, 2002, from “Doctor Ho Wing” that read as follows:
Drug companies and some doctors keep telling diabetes “NO CURE” “UNCURABLE” do you know why ?
I CURE Diabetes Disease, Absolutely !
I CURE diabetes disease, believe me, never Insulin injection, forget your diabetes for ever. I keep your Pancreas working and Glucose under 200 mg/dl for ever with NO MEDICATION. Normal Glucose range for NON-DIABETICS is 70-120mg/dl, Normal Glucose range for CURED DIABETICS is 70-199mg/dl, The Glucose range for DIABETICS is 200-550mg/dl.
I accept only type 1 diabetics or very serious cases. My cure for this disease is Chinese Herbal and natural medicine. It is a 2 to 4 months direct Treatment from doctor to patient.
NO INJECTION ! NO SURGERY ! NO DANGEROUS DRUGS !
Absolutely NO SIDE EFFECT !
Remember ! You pay my Treatment after you are CURED and SATISFIED ! Otherwise, DO NOT PAY ! Before your doctor start to cut your foot and hand, please call ! let me save your life !
[Curiosity led me to search the Internet for anything reflecting Dr. Wing's capabilities. The following website seems to be the only discussion. At EL Rincón de la Polémica, which is in Spanish, there's a page entitled El Dr. Ho Wing y la cura de la diabetes (Dr. Ho Wing and the cure of diabetes). It seems that others have questioned his methods, and he has not responded adequately. A rough translation of the conclusion of the article is as follows.]
Of all the repercussions, one letter stands out: it was sent to Ho Wing by Dr Alberto Alvarez Melero, diabetólogist, Director of Metabolism of Clinical Santa Clarita of the English Hospital of the Northwest (Tijuana, Mexico):
“To dare to say that there is a diabetes cure, when we have nothing to judge it scientifically… is not an easy task. Therefore I respectfully request to Dr Ho Wing to please send his scientific studies on the matter to me. I promise him to be impartial and to put in the scientific balance his experimental results and methods.
If there is the ability to reproduce these resultes in a laboratory approved by the world-wide scientific community and to be certain of the observations, I will be first in writing to the Karolinska Institute so that it is evaluated for him to receive the Nobel prize”.
We received an unsolicited e-mail on November 24, 2002, that read as follows:
Hello Friends,
I’m sending this letter to my entire email list because I’m so excited about an article that was sent to me about a new product that has just been developed for Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and High Cholesterol. It’s working MIRACLES!!! … The Manufacturers of Glucotor Are So Sure of This Product They Are Offering a 90 Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. …
But someone wrote to the website, and got the following answer:
Question:
Dear Healing America: I have a friend and her son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 3 years old. Now he is 12 I think and on daily insulin shots. I listen to the training call last night and I know that the Glucotor helps people with type 2 diabetes but could it help someone with type 1 also? At least to control his blood sugar so that he didn’t have to be on insulin or at least cut back on his shots. Or can this in any way help someone with type 1 diabetes if so in what way and what would the dosage be? This is really someone I would love to help out so thank you for your time. Tina
Answer:
So far we haven’t attempted to try it on a Type1. The reason being the medical doctors on board say that it won’t work for a type 1. The guarntee wouldn’t apply to a Type 1. They need to go into it knowing it probably won’t work BUT who knows.
[Hmm. Interesting guarantee. If you have type 1 diabetes, they will encourage you to buy the stuff, "knowing it probably won't work", but they won't give you your money back if it doesn't work!]
Q: How to cure diabetes in a young mother?
A young mother of 24 yrs is having diabetes and she has to take insulin daily. What is the best ayurvedic, dietary or natural remedy for her? As she has to care for her baby all through the day, she is unable to do any exercise.
A: Diabetes canNOT be cured. it can only be CONTROLLED.
Since she is taking insulin, we are not clear if she is a Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetic. Treatment will be based on what type of diabetic she is.
Type 1 Diabetes is characterized by a complete failure of the pancreas. This most often happens in children uner the age of 18, but it is not uncommon for young adults as old as 30 to get it. Type 2 Diabetes can also turn into Type1, after many years of poor treatment.
Type 2 Diabetes is caused by being overweight. This is most common in adults over 40, but with society’s ways of eating wrong foods and failing to get exercise, Type 2 Diabetes is now showing up in children as young as 9 years old!
And Type 2 Diabetes is VERY common if the mother had Gestational Diabetes while pregnant. In fact, a woman who has Gestational Diabetes is more than twice as likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes later in life.
There is only ONE treatment for Type 1 Diabetes — insulin shots. Since the body produces NO insulin, the shots are necessary, or she will die. The ONLY alternative is a risky, painful, and expensive pancreas transplant.
Type 2 diabetes can often be controlled through diet and exercise.
The Type 2 Diabetes MUST COMPLETELY ELIMINATE sugar from their diet. They can have NO sugar. That means no colas, sports drinks, energy drinks, canned fruit juices, candies, cakes, ice cream, pudding, doughnuts, cookies — ANYTHING with sugar MUST be ELIMINATED from the diet.
The patient MUST reduce the amounts of starches they eat. Eat fewer breads, crackers, pastas, rice, corn, and potatoes. It really help to get a Diabetic Cookbook, and learn what foods are starchy and what food are healthy.
And the patient MUST get more exercise. “She has to care for her baby” is just an excuse. if she does not get more exercise she is going to be hospitalized, limtied to a wheelchair or nursing home, or die — any of the three will leave her baby with NO care, and dying will leave the baby without a mother.
You could do her a great service by getting off the internet and volunteering to take care of the baby while she exercises!
THERE IS NO CURE FOR DIABETES. IF she can develop the self-discipline to change her eating habits and lifestyle, then the diabetes can be CONTROLLED, and she will live as long and as happy as a healthy perseon.
But for the rest of her life, the diabetes will still be inside her, just waiting for her to change her diet or forget to exercise. then, the diabetes will come back, and usually stronger and more viscious than before. the results can be heart attacks, strokes, blindness, amputation, kidney failure and dialysis — even death!
Q: How can diet be effective in the prevention or cure of diabetes?
How can diet be effective in the prevention or cure of diabetes ?
A: Diet and exercise are equally important in reversing type two diabetes. (note that I did not say “cure”). It is vitally important that the type two diabetic adjust their lifestyle to include lots of healthy raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains and to exclude any and all refined, processed, enriched, packaged, preserved, man made carbohydrates (especially high fructose corn syrup) from their diet. It is equally important for the type two diabetic to get daily moderate exercise. I emphatically disagree with the good doctor. I am living proof that the disease is reversible. It is only progressive if the patient persists in living the lifestyle that brought us here in the first place. Very few doctors seem to realize this. Bear in mind that type two diabetes is a modern disease and it’s existence was practically unheard of 200 years ago, when factory processed foods were rarely found in people’s diets. Look up the Pima Indian’s plight for more on this. There are a few doctors that have done their homework and have found as I have that with healthy diet and regular exercise, a type two diabetic can live a long, healthy, and medication free life. All it requires is a lot of research and some practical application of that knowledge. I was getting worse and worse until I became desperate enough to learn for myself how to deal with the disease. The chances of gleaning this knowledge from a conventionally trained M.D. are slim. But there are a few out there that have learned. Search Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Neal Barnard, and Dr. Joel Fuhrman. Or simply click the diabetes info link in my profile.
