If someone offering you a way to cure type 1 without asking you for any money..at all!, will you try it?.
I'm going to try alternative medication that says will cure type 1 diabetes by restoring pancreas function. It will involves acupuncture and massaging the "connecting nerve" on my feet. I just met an old friend's brother, who said he was cured within 8 months of treatment. Wish me luck!

Btw this is not a desperate acts, just exploring the unchartered teritory.

As long as it's free, and not potentially dangers, I say go for it. But it won't work of course.

i'm interested mainly because i know the power of acupuncture, its pretty awesome.
best i would expect for myself would be using less insulin, not exactly a cure, but its surely a valid experiment. and as with all things YMMV

This sounds like "here have a millon dollars", Would you beleve it as the you can be cured. Well I don't think so.

It may work or it may not. That's what I'm trying to find out. Off course I have to make sure the treatment have no dangerous side effects either way.
I bet we all knew that scientists are producing and harvesting human insulin by combining a string of e coli bactery with human dna responsible for making insulin. Can't you imagine just how very alien the idea must be at first?

I wouldn't hold my breath for this to be a cure, but I do think ONE day there will be one.

Of course, you would not want to stop your current "traditional" treatment until you see that this new one works (sorry, but I don't think it will).

I will continue my daily dose, consulting my doctor, and using my accu chek 8 times a day. These are part of the experiment.

A few years ago, on a British talkboard, I followed a vitriolic discussion of a patient in England who was trying near the same regimen for terminal liver cancer.

She died.

I wish you well, however.

My best friend mother's had breast cancer, treated with chemotherapy, she died too. My father: diabetes and stroke finally put him to a situation where the doctors need to amputate one of his toes, after puting stent (micro wire mesh tube to prop open an artery that's recently been cleared using angioplasty) failed to unclog his leg arteries. Fighting infection, he's been given the best antibiotics available on earth..sadly, he died too. I think the most important things here is that while it is easier to focus on other's failure, it will be more productive to always be positive, open minded and be ready for any possibilities. Thanks anyway Cheers!

I think the people who expressed doubt that this will work really are just wanting to be sure you don't put all your hopes in this as a cure. It's great to pursue something that "might" help, but also keep on top of your condition and be agressive with your traditional treatment -- we KNOW that works

[EasyType2]

An old adage says, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If a person could demonstrate they had a 'cure' for diabetes, they would be so rich they couldn't spend the money as fast as it poured in. The very fact that the "treatment" you refer to is 'free' makes me suspicious from the gitgo.

However, do not negate the placebo effect. One spring does not a robin make.

"would you believe there's a cure for type 1?" .........NO!!!!!!! accupuncture is sticking needles in a person-diabetics are constantly sticking themselves with needles and yet-still diabetic...... trish
