Yet more “good” news?!

This is what I am talking about! 20 out of 23 subjects is pretty good freaking odds. Odds I am sure my little girl would be willing to take for even a partial cure. But where is this? In a lab still, years later. And this is not the only possible cure that has been reported on, so why is this still in labs and journals? Well, I guess we would not need to spend all that money on insulin, needles, testing, etc. We can’t take that money from the mouths of those vendors! Then they might need to innovate and come up with research and better drugs for other diseases out there. Yes this is part frustration, but it is also part absurdity.
