| I had the very good fortune to start a nice five week long vacation four years ago with attendance at the Palm Springs announcement of this study. That featured both Lee Iaccoca and Denise Faustman.
I purchased the video tapes of that seminar and when I reviewed them I was struck with the attitude that was apparent then and is still very clear today on their part.
This is not a money making adventure for anyone there. They came across as truly wanting to cure diabetes. They have faced down the big monied organizations and are staying on course with a very promising and potentially inexpensive and readlily available source for a cure.
Dr Faustman has met the goals and remains on target. Of course the final outcome remains to be seen and no one is so foolish as to predict that they will cure us at any time. But this is a very exciting endeavor and it does offer hope for all of us in the community of diabetics.
