During the course of their research at the hospital, doctors injected diabetic mice with capsaicin (the active ingredient in hot chili peppers), and a neuropeptide substance, which seemed to reverse the disease.According to Dr. Salter, a pain expert and one of the lead researchers, "Mice with diabetes suddenly didn't have diabetes any more."Although the researchers have to still confirm their findings in people, the doctors are optimistic the same connection between nerve endings and pancreatic performance exists in humans.The doctor's discovery, while still in the nascent stages, could eventually provide a cure for the millions of people who suffer from diabetes, including the 41,000 Canadian deaths caused by Type 1 diabetes a year.Take the ordinary things of life, and make them your own.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Denisa, I am doing great, if I did any better they would have to give me a pill to slow me down. No wait, I got hep C that slows me down enough. LOL I am doing alright.
