about it. This is as close to a real cure as has ever been posted here. This is better than the Mexican study which is similiar but involved a surgical pouch. Did the porcine islets produce insulin? If they did were in business (at least for male diabetes victims). For women, a small pouch could be surgically constructed or prehaps the ovaries could be used since they also produce testosterone.
Posted by Sonia, a study completed in North Carolina conclued ..."The survival of xenogeneic tissue in the absence of immunosuppression in this large-animal model raises the possibility that xenogeneic porcine islet tissue will also survive in humans if transplanted into a similar environment." Why not try it in few diabetic men?
