Great video ! This is the zinc finger product, right? US patent #7,253,273 Treatment of neuropathic pain with zinc finger proteins ...if this is the case, this is revolutionary ! never mind diabetic neuropathy...the list of diseases that could benefit from this technology are incredible

[sciencentral]

Thanks for your comments! It is indeed the zinc finger technology. You can

find links to the research and clinical trials on sciencentral DOT com. I

believe the trials are only recruiting age 18 and up.

Drugs can be dangerous! Try this. After 3 weeks of taking GlyPerfect, I noted a dramatic drop in blood sugar level. I had readings 150 to 165 prior to taking GlyPerfect, and some as high as 300+ml/dl. improvement after the third week. For the first time in over 10 years my fasting blood sugar levels are within "Normal" range. This morning I was at 105---WOW! My medications, diet and exercise did not quite control my blood sugar. Now it appears handled. I'm Type 2

Wow! This news is fascinating. Is it primarily geared for Type 2 diabetes? Or can it help to replenish the deficit of C-peptide in Type 1 diabetes, too?

I'd love to get a response. Please contact me directly on TuDiabetes-dot-com. Or subscribe to my blogcasts for Allies Voice. Either way - this news is fascinating and should be promoted as much as possible!

My son has peripheral neuropathy on his lower extremities. He is 11 years old. I want to know if this drug can be prescribed to him.
