Protandim - Sounds promising!

This was on ABC/Prime Time last night.

The following bit caught my eye:

" Dr. Brownlee, who heads the Center for Research on Diabetic

Complications at Albert Einstein Medical College, conducted another

experiment involving another enzyme boosted by Protandim called SOD.

He tested diabetic mice and found their wounds simply don't heal — a

problem common for diabetics. But when another diabetic mouse that

was genetically engineered to have more SOD was wounded, it healed

much better.

" Even though they were diabetic, they healed, just like the normal, "

he said. " It is a breakthrough. " "

I find this interesting, because the chronic bone infection I have

(chronic osteomyeltitis) which I cannot heal, is one of the big

problems diabetics contend with as well, although usually in their

feet (but who knows how many other undiagnosed places they have

infection festering?). Also, most pwc have hormonal issues and many

of us seem to be leaning toward diabetes (insulin resistance - see

Shoemaker).

Anyway, if this new pill can speed wound healing, perhaps it can

hlep the body fight off infection?
