New method found to suppress immune system without use of drugs: The discovery may have very significant implications for many diseases involving kidney and other solid organ transplants, stem cells, bone marrow . It allows the bodys 'T' cells to be turned off allowing the body to become used to and accept foreign tissue and cells. This may allow the organ or cells to function without the dangerous and expensive cyclosporine and other immunosupressent drugs. Diabetics could be some of the first to benefit considering the new stem cell research at the University of Wisconsin / Organ Transplant Unit in Madison Wi. For complete results see the Jan 27 online edition of the Journal of Nature Immunology at the URL listed.

Marc, that is such good news about children! I'm hoping the very best for you and your wife. You are so right in regards to diabetes and the future affects on children. What with all the advances being made, who knows! I of course am always concerned for my daughters future and her daughter, but it doesn't do me or them any good to worry. I've just put it into SOMEONE else hands and just go on.

You sound so different from the way you were several years back. I'm so glad things are better for you.

Don't let the down sayers get to you! The ones here that knew you when are, I'm sure, pleased with the new Marc and welcome you back.

Ain't it neat we have someone here so kind to correct our spelling? LOL

YOU KNOW DARN WELL THAT YOUR MOST FAVOURITE THING IN THE WORLD IS PLAYING GAMES WITH THE GOOD PEOPLE ON HERE!!!!!!! WE NEED CONTROLS ON THIS IDIOT BOARD!!!!!

Dear 16:53, thanks for the lesson. I have always messed those words up. I would love to buy a dictionary, but my welfare check doesn't stretch that long. OK, all joking aside, your opinion of me is clear. Can we concede that point and move on? It would be healthier for you, me and everyone here.

Faith... Can you believe it? Children are my number 1 priority. It took a while to work through the what if's with the diabetes, but I can't predict the future, so why make decisions based on what may happen. I am pretty excited about it, I just needed to be ready. So what if it took a few more years then I thought, it will have been worth the wait. You know there are so many good things that could come from stem cells if people can get past the misconception that the only way to get them is from abortion. We know scientifically it is the way to go, we just need to look at ways that are morally acceptable. Me personally, I think if there are going to be abortions, then make something good from it. But that is such a sensitive subject that tests the deep beliefs of many, one that I do not share but can respect. Either way, SCR is a must for progress and if we can generate stem cells outside the fetus issue, that is something I am totally in favor of. I love the pump, but I would rather through it away for a cure!

15:31:16 Nope, I don't have to call my preacher, (remember, I'm married to him), but, back to your question. I guess that would be up to the Mother who aborted, and the person who might receive the stem cells.

Speaking of stem cells, my nephew who was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident a couple of years ago, is going to the Ukraine this month, to receive about three injections of stem cells. BTW, they do not come from aborted babies, they come from the cord from the placenta. I wish him well! Hope this works for him.

Marc, do I take it you and your wife are thinking about having a baby after all. "The prize being a house with a big yard and children to play in it." BTW, 13:31:35, did I miss something, did I say anything about supporting or even not supporting aborting babies for stem cell research in my last post?

On Thu Sep 19 15:28:21 2002 SO.....NOBODY WANTS TO ANSWER BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CALL THE PREACHER FIRST AND FIND OUT WHAT YOU SHOULD SAY HUH???????? () said:
IF A WOMAN ABORTS A BABY WHY NOT HAVE SOMETHING POSITIVE COME FROM IT SUCH AS STEM CELL RESEARCH??????

60's peace love and grass smoking? Wow, maybe I should move to Haight/Ashbury. Listen, why deal in negatives? Has it ever gotten you anywhere? I know it made me lose 3 plus years of my life. This isn't about peace and love, it's about letting go and moving on. I hope one day you get to where I was when you realize you can make a positive difference in your life and to those around you. I spent 3 years hating what happened to me, now I focus on the prize. The prize being a house with a big yard and children to play in it. Priorities changed for me, I am sorry if that offends you. But I am truly enjoying life for the first time since my retina detached. Life can be good, you just need to find the way through all the negative. Good luck guy..... Marc

Did anyone watch the special last night with Christopher Reeve. He describe taking a womans egg, inserting stem cells, NOT SPERM, into it, and then they use that for injecting stem cells. Not sure that actually works, but it sounds interesting.

It is being reported that the weight loss claims by the producers of certain products are very likely false. There is only one way to get rid of body fat, eat right and move! That way the dangers of ma huang and ephedra can be avoided. If the doc oks it, a cup of coffee before the gym will help. RE stem cells: Does anyone here not know that they can be obtained without aborting a baby? Another argument over abortion (which I oppose!) will raise more heat than light.

Faith... yeah, it aint no picnic. I was trying to put a positive spin on it, but if you had the surgery you already know! 590 sounds about right, I don't know why they give us those shots. But atleast with me it only lasted 48 hours and then it all came back to normal, so you are half way home. CB, thanks, glad to be posting again too. I have found a good positive attitude and that lets me just laugh at the attempts to do whatever it is he is doing. I think there are enough good people here to make a difference. That's a nice enough positive for me. I can't change the past, only the future. Applying that to my life has me attaining my goals at a rapid pace. It's great what the mind can do when PROPERLY focused. Take care guys and I will talk to you soon.......Marc

Dear 11:06 thanks for the update but this site does not support any stem or cell transplants from the baby killers. You could post the information on the Yahoo groupsite diabetics helping. thank you.

Look at todays national news U. of Wisconsin Transplant center is now doing islet cells transplant using a injection process that only takes 30 min under a local. Has been 100 % effective in diabetic cure and works without most suppressent drugs and no predizone. Is also working with stem cells to produce islet cells that need no immune drugs to function.

If you can do me one favor though, if Amy Hess comes in here can you let her know I would like to speak to her. She knows how to find me. Take care and this must be goodbye for me. I wish you well.... Marc

Squats, I will never forget when I was in the hospital to get my insulin pump and training, the woman in he room with me had surgery on a foot. She had gone outside w/o shoes and stepped on a rock, she didn't know it, and when she put her socks and shoes on, she preceded to walk on it all day long. That evening when she pulled her shoe off, she discovered her sock was soaked in blood.

This wasn't the first time something like this had happened to her. While she was in the hospital, they were constantly telling her not to walk on that foot, and use her cruthes. She just wouldn't listen to them. I wouldn't be surprised if by now she hasn't lost that foot or even a leg. Her legs also looked like the guy you saw.

Marc and Squats, thanks for the advice. I had the same problem with my other shoulder. Finally, in 95 they operated on it. I do not want to go through that again. I don't know about you Marc, put for me it wasn't a picnic.

Oops, I just checked my BG level, two hours after eating! It's 590. And I feel fine!! On to a sliding scale and uping my basal rates, like Marc suggested!

WRIST THERAPY???????? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING????????

On Thu Sep 19 01:00:26 2002 Squats () said:
Went for wrist therapy today, and spoke with a recent leg amputee. He said it started with a small blister. His remaining leg had rather ugly bluish black blotches. Knowing me, I would have gone to the doc as soon as they started! Those were hideous! It was an excellent lesson in the need for foot care and inspection.
