Blood sugar testing, strips, syringes, pumps, doctors, nurses, patented drugs, insulin, test kits, blood work. This is easily a multi-billion dollar plus market. You know who supports JDRF? If you've ever been to a JDRF event, you are virtually deluged with advertisements from the companies trying to MAKE money from your diabetes. These people do not have any interest in an actual cure. In fact, it would be a disaster for the economy that these people live on. And by extension, JDRF also would be hurt by it. In fact they would be destroyed by it and they know it. Can you imagine if Dr Faustman's work is never fully realized because of lack of funding? That's where we're headed unless all of us get the word out and keep the private donor funding going.

She needs 25 Million to move to phase II. In my opinion she will not be able to get there without the national media, I may be wrong but I doubt it. Her story will fit in perfectly with the health care reform of taking on the big pharma's. please join me in requesting the national media to cover her story.

It is also useful in destroying defective T-cells prevalent in other auto-immune disorders. In Europe, the vaccine is mandatory, although I don't think I would want it carried to that extreme. But we are so thankful for Dr. Faustman's work here in the US--especially with such daunting adversaries. Dr. Faustman has stated that BCG has been applied to combat tuberculosis for quite a while.

I get so upset that JDRF and the ADA won't support her research but will support a non-cure like an artificial pancreas. Of course the drug companies want to make their money and there is no money for them to make here. May God Bless Dr. Faustman and all of her researchers in obtaining a CURE!!

A few days after he came home from the hospital I found out about Dr. Faustman's research. Somehow, it just made sense to me, unlike any other research I had read about. It seemed that research wasn't really working and she was on to a new way of doing things. I have held three walks since Riley's diagnosis in October of 2005 and every single penny has gone to Dr. Faustman. And, every penny I raise will continue to go to her work. I know it may not pan out, but that's the same with any research. As a mother I try not to get my hopes up too much. But, by the same token, I have to have some hope in order to get through the day. I don't think about a cure very often because the thought of there never being one is painful. But, when I do think of a cure I think of Dr. Faustman. Amy,
