9. On CBC Radio - a very factual and reliable source, in as much as I've ever heard, they had a story about 10-15 years ago

wherein a group of 32 (as I remember) diabetics were given what sounds like the same therapy, 30 of them had a result like this nurse's, and the remaining 2 had to have a second round, but all were "cured," as of that date. I was gobsmacked at the time, because stem cell therapy was far from common then, but the story sank like a stone, and I never heard any followup.

A regimen like this could save our medical system, because it pours billions into remediating diabetes, and most of the result is a Bandaid. A Bandaid that keeps millions of people alive, but uncured.. Because I'm on a pension, I'm on a program whereby, after a preset deductible is reached, my Rx are free for the rest of that year. This year, more than 6 months are going to be paid for by the system. Considering the fact that Ozempic alone is $275 a month it's a BIg Deal in my life, because I also take prophylactic meds for my artificial heart valves.

At the time of the valve replacement and patching up my heart (Staph A infection), I was literally dying in front of their eyes. I got diagnosed by a BRILLIANT diagnostician who figured out what my Mystery Ailment was and operated on in just over 2 days of arriving at ER. Try to imagine what I think of our "dysfuctional, Socialist" medical system, and I bet you'd fall short.
