a vaccine used to combat TB could cure diabetes for most within four years,according to scientists.
an american researcher realised a drug that killed "bad" white blood cells could help reverse type 1 diabetes.
she then identified BCG,commonly used in britain to combat TB,as having this side effect.
dr denise faustman found that mice with a form of diabetes type 1 in humans could be cured quickly when given the drug.
she said:"they started improving within days after the first injection of BCG was given and were eventually free of diabetes."
the vaccine destroyed abnormal white blood cells obstructing the production of insulin,which is needed to prevent diabetes, she said.
trials on humans, at massachussett general hospital, in boston,must first determine whether the same strategy could work on the abnormal autoimmune cells present in type 1 diabetes.
this form of disease often starts in childhood when the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the ...
pancreas. but the study is unlikely to help those with type 2 diabetes.

what do you think about it?
