| Israeli Scientists: Cure for Insulin-Dependent Diabtics within 5 years |
| 2019-10-11 |
| [Jerusalem Post HEALTH & SCIENCE] A team of Jerusalem-based researchers and entrepreneurs claim they have a cure for diabetes that could hit the market as early as within the next few years. Betalin Therapeutics has developed the first bio-artificial pancreas, composed of pig’s lung tissue and insulin secreting cells. The artificial pancreas would be implanted into the patient and connect with his or her blood vessels, and then be able to measure the body’s sugar level and secrete an optimal amount of insulin needed to balance blood sugar. "This is a new way to treat diabetes," said CEO Dr. Nikolai Kunicher. "Today, you only have ways to manage the disease. This is a cure. The diabetic pancreas has lost the function of secreting insulin and we give it back. The patient should never have to inject insulin into his body again." |

| #3 Oh, ok ! So Gawd said you just can't eat the darn things. I get it. But the same allowance will not be afforded to the anal-retentive moslem. I imagine Iranian research into using donkey's lung shall waste several clueless asinines before requiring a mullah to cook the sharia again, allowing rich Arabs to go get those shiny new pancreas in Israel. "Y'see when Mochmed was on the trail to Yathrib, he met a friendly pig called Pepullah..." |

| #1 But, as I understand it, in 5 years the Zionist entity will no longer exist. The chief Ayatollah says so, and he talks with Allan nearly every night. |
