DIABETES VACCINE: THE WORLD CELEBRATES OFFICIAL RELEASE

Once again, after the last article on scientists raising the hopes for diabetic patients, is with yet another excitement to write again that the Vaccine Against Diabetes has now been officially announced leaving not only those with diabetes rejoicing but the entire world as well.

At the 75th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association, an announcement which said that the FDA was going to test the vaccine on 150 people who are in an advanced stage of type 1 diabetes was made.

In the United States alone according to reports, about 1.25 millions of people suffer from the type 1 diabetes and a vaccine used over 100 years ago for tuberculosis (bacillus Calmette-Guerin) which has showed promise in reversing this disease is also now commonly used for treating other cases such as bladder cancer and it’s considered safe as well.

Those patients with diabetes who have been injected with the vaccine saw an increase in the levels of the substance called tumor necrosis factor. The increased level of the TNF in the system destroys the T cells which are hindering the production of insulin.

The body of one person with type 1 diabetes doesn’t produce insulin as a result of the immune system which is destroying the cells that create insulin. T cells are produced, and they create problems in the pancreatic islets, where the insulin is produced. The vaccine works by eliminating those T cells.

The report says that in the previous trial, patients were injected with the tuberculosis vaccine two times within a 4-week time frame. The results showed that the very dangerous T cells were gone, and some patients even began to secrete insulin on their own.

One of those excited about the results from the BCG vaccine so far is Dr. Denise Faustman, the director of the Massachusetts General Hospital of Immunobiology Laboratory in Boston and was quoted by omigy.com to have explained “In the phase 1 (preliminary) trial we demonstrated a statistically significant response to the BCG, but our goal in (this trial) is to create a lasting therapeutic response. We will be working again with persons who have had type 1 diabetes for many years. This is not a prevention trial; instead, we are trying to create a regimen that is going to treat even advanced disease”.

There is a new trial coming which will use the same format as the previous one, on individuals between the ages of 18 and 60 years. The subjects are going to be injected with the vaccine two times in a period of 4 weeks, and then once a year for a four-year time span.

The Diabetes Care journal published the results of the past study that analyzed the effects of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) on children with diabetes at the age between 5 and 18 years. The results showed that BCG vaccine doesn’t keep the beta-cell function or raise the remission rate in children.

HOPE FOR HUMANITY AND SUFFERERS OF DIABETES WITH NEW VACCINE

It’s good news for all sufferers of diabetes and a big relief for their loved ones who have gone through pains and fears of losing these loved ones to the dreaded ailment.

It’s also an awesome news for humanity as a whole because it means diabetes will no longer be killing many in hundreds and thousands anymore and most importantly the income of many of these sufferers will no longer have to dwindle as a result of having to keep buying insulin and other drugs to control the disease in order to stay alive.

 
The great news according to reports from healthadviceteam.com as gathered from healthlifeidea.com says the vaccine against diabetes has been officially announced and of course the world no doubts would be celebrating at this moment in time on hearing this good news. So now we know the good news.

Although the vaccine is not outrightly a cure for diabetes, it has nevertheless showed big improvements in all the cases where the vaccine was administered as clarified by Chacon Ramirez, the President of the foundation ‘’Vive your Diabetes’’ and  Lucila Zarate Ortega, the president of the Mexican Association for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases while speaking at a conference.

Chacon also admonished that proper and special expertise care should be given to patients and also cautioned that diabetes takes years in its development while creating further problems with the patients overall health.   

The need for regular checkups still came to the forefront even as I read the article. The question is how many of us go for regular checkups, even for once in a year? Many of us are so guilty yet we eat all kinds of stuff on a daily basis thinking we are enjoying ourselves not aware of ongoing damages in the system and it is only when signs or symptoms begin to show that people start running helter shelter looking for solutions to problems which some of the times are either too late or almost too late to salvage. 

May God help us all!

The creator of this vaccine doctor Jorge Gonzalez Ramirez who said they were able to achieve a saline solution which is consistent for any kind of diabetes after a couple of procedures, added that the treatment will last at least a whole year with one vaccine which lasts for 60 days even as the vaccine would be effective “in stopping all the complications that come along with diabetes such as blindeness, renal insufficiency, amputation, embolism, losing hearing, etc”.

And so, on that note, I also say “let everyone take proper care of their health by eating right, having at least one overall checkup in a year, regular exercise and not wait till something really goes wrong.

Just as Lucila recommends that all patients besides the vaccine should still visit the doctor if “they do not want to have further problems with the disease because the vaccine is a treatment and not a miracle”, hence the need for proper care from experts.
