New Diabetes Cure, 74% Succeed

  60 Minutes Coverage Of Obesity Stomach Surgery Curing Diabetes Causes Major Publicity Stir.

Those with the sentence of diabetes for the rest of your life. See first hope and light at end of the diabetes tunnel.

Your author has been seeing reports of this for a year, and wrote an article on it in January of 08.

Dr. Bernstien reports on his web site he has been aware of it for some time.

Much has yet to be determined and when I wrote the early article, not many experts had yet commented on the implications.

We were fully away that only the most obese that had little other hope were allowed by law to have this operation which had a fatality rate of about 1 in 100, risky, as any surgery is.

New publicity is that they now have this down to one in 1000 fatality rates.

Now there is talk of maybe they should change the law.

For the rest of us here is what happened and how it will hopefully eventually affect us.

We wrote in our hard copy newspaper (Diabetes Cure 101) with an illustration of how the stomach "banding" worked. This one had a connection to your outside and a method to tighten or loosen a stomach band from this external point.

Thus somewhat adjustable. with out further operations. In contrast, gastric bypass totally by passes a certain part of the stomach and it is this operation that had the most surprising unexpected reports from patients that their diabetes suddenly was over a short time after the operation.

The short study that resulted in the 60 minutes publicity shows 70% plus on various operations of this type "fixing" (go off medications no high blood sugar etc.) diabetes as they knew it.

Now this likely is of little help since you can not legally have this operation unless you are extremely obese and nothing else offers any hope.

However, it does open up a whole new avenue of exploration on cures without the surgery since for the first time they now know that this part of the stomach affects diabetes. They had "no idea;" until this discovery that this part of the stomach had the slightest thing to do with diabetes. So before you start lining up in Argentina to get their stomach stapled, give them a shot of doing this part of the stomach fix without surgery.

According to one of my early source article last year, the most of the patients reported on there had stomach band surgery, but "gastric bypass is even more effective against diabetes, achieving remission in a matter of days or a month, said Dr. David Cummings, who wrote an accompanying editorial in the journal but was not involved in the study."

These surgery fixes are dangerous as all surgery is. but many who have tried everything else to lose weight and are unable to stop obesity progression, will accept the risk, so they had not expected it the diabetic fix was a surprise benefit.
Most do not realize that obesity and diabetes are two manifestations of same problem. Fix the cause of one and you fix the cause of the other, should not have been a surprise.

We operate. write and publish two newspaper and four web sites with health information that will be of interest and many contain related articles.
