The Cure Is Near!

Here is good news to all sufferers of Type 1 diabetes, like my daughter.





New Stem Cell Discovery May Treat Diabetes

Researchers in Belgium have significantly advanced the discovery of a pancreatic progenitor cell with the capacity to generate new insulin-producing beta cells. If the finding made in mice holds for humans, the newfound progenitor cells may represent “an obvious target for therapeutic regeneration of beta cells in diabetes,” the researchers report in the Jan. 25 issue of the research journal Cell, a publication of Cell Press. In people with type 1 diabetes, blood sugar rises due to a loss of the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body use glucose for energy.
“One of the most interesting characteristics of these [adult] progenitor cells is that they are almost indistinguishable from embryonic progenitor cells,” said Harry Heimberg at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Center at Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium and the Beta Cell Biology Consortium. “In terms of their structure and gene expression, there are no major differences. They look and behave just like embryonic beta cell progenitors."

“We at JDRF believe that this new research provides novel insights that may provide therapeutic potential to regenerate beta cells in type 1 diabetes,” said Patricia Kilian, Regeneration Program Director at JDRF.
Previous studies have suggested the existence of a beta cell progenitor in the pancreas after birth, but the identification and characterization of the progenitor cell has not been fully achieved. Other studies showing that replication of adult beta cells can account for beta cell turnover and expansion of beta cells under normal physiologic conditions and called into question the role or existence of a progenitor cell in regeneration. “Most people gave up looking because the cells are so few and so hard to activate,” added Heimberg.
In the new study, Heimberg’s team tied off a duct that drains digestive enzymes from the pancreas, a manipulation that led to a doubling of beta cell mass in the injured part of the pancreas within two weeks. The animals’ pancreases also began producing more insulin, evidence that the new beta cells were fully functional.
Using a genetic labeling technique, the researchers found that the new beta cells were derived from precursor cells that expressed a gene expressed in embryonic progenitor cells called Neurogenin 3 (Ngn3) and that production of the new beta cells depended on activity of this gene. He suspects the regenerative process is sparked by an inflammatory response in the enzyme-flooded pancreas.
“The most important challenge now is to extrapolate our findings to patients with diabetes,” Heimberg reported. Although he cautioned that any potential diabetes treatment remains in the future, he said “our findings reveal the significance of investigating the feasibility of both isolating facultative beta cell progenitors and newly formed beta cells from human pancreas in order to expand and differentiate them in vitro and transplant them in diabetic patients and also composing a mix of factors able to activate beta cell progenitors to expand and differentiate in situ in patients with an absolute or relative deficiency in insulin.”

At this time I'd like to send out tribulations to all that have given so graciously to J.D.R.F.
Without your support, hard work, and donations, none of this could ever have happened.
We're not there yet, but we're oh so close.
Don't give up the ship, keep going the rewards are at our grasp!


P.S.
Fuck You George Bush and Stephen Harper! Thanx fer noth'n! Ya phony religious nut jobs!
Go suck big oil's dick!!!

Da Oscars

The first time in about...EVER. "The Academy" gave a lest three movies
worth the title "Best Picture" a nomination.
But again they blew it! The "Real" best picture only received one nomination.
Best Actor.

This is a film deserving of it's mention.





Cute movie, doesn't belong in this category though. It had huge print and media blitz in the last month. Kind'a like last years "Little Miss Sunshine".





They tried to sell this film a hundred ways from Sunday. It's still a bore!

The "Coen Brothers" have made the best films of the last twenty years or more...;"Fargo", "The Big Lebowski", "Blood Simple", "Miller's Crossing", Raising Arizona"... better than any other film maker . This is one is one their best! All their films are heavily character based with crazy obscured story lines. Always beautifully written. Hopefully Da Brothers will finally receive what they deserve. An Oscar.

I Just seen this film and I gotta say this maybe the "Best Picture"that was nominated! I Loved It!! Paul Thomas Anderson is one of my favorite directors and this movie maybe his best work yet? Daniel Day Lewis is the second best actor of our generation and he's at his best since "his role of "Bill The Butcher" in "Gangs Of New York". There is a huge moral to this story, much like Anderson's other films "Magnolia" and "Boogie Nights". This movie is every bit as good as the Coen's, maybe better?

This is the real best picture : "Eastern Promises".

Again the Academy Of Motion Pictures & Sciences. Missed the mark.

They're afraid to reward David Cronenberg with the trophy he so

richly deserves.

Two years ago they snubbed him for "A History Of Violence".

That was the weakest crop of movies ever to be nominated.

This year is way stronger, but it still was a slight, on purpose!

See it. You'll be mesmerized by Viggo Mortensen!

Tom Cruise Talking About Scientology

See Video Here--->Here's Tommy

It's back!!!

With the new "Andrew Morton" book coming out about Tom Cruise. I wanted you to see who the real Tom Cruise is. This guy is "whacked out". I will post this also on my SCaM blog. We need to know what this cult will do to people. To understand what happens when your mind has been altered.

If your wondering what a "S.P." is? It is a "Suppressive Person". And K.S.W. means "Keep Scientology Working"!
They say Tom is now at the highest level of OT. I have no idea what level that is, but it takes logic and replaces it with soup!

The Crucifixion Of Marion Jones.

I Knew This Would Happen!

The arrest and imprisonment of Marion Jones
sends a clear message to anyone that tells the truth.

"DON'T"!

I wrote about how the Canadian Government
destroyed Ben Johnson after he told the truth
about steroids and the Canadian track team.
Now the American Government is doing the same
to Marion. And we're watching and pointing fingers.
At Marion saying..."Tisk, tisk, tisk, that's what happens to cheaters".
No, that's what happens to anyone that "comes clean"!
It's funny, when she was the hero of the U.S. Track team,
in 2000, she tested positive for illegal drugs.
Marion denied she did steroids and everything was
fine. Everything was "gold" with the U.S.A.T.F.
Even when her "then husband" tested positive for steroids
and the whole Balco incident exploded, The United States of America Track and Field body stood behind Marion Jones.

They entered her into the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Now that she finally told the truth, "NOW" she's being crucified!
Even worse the U.S. government is looking into deporting Ms. Jones.
You see Marion is now not "really" an American.
She was originally from Belize.

"She has Belizean decent", is the way they're wording it?
It's funny how that happens. "NOW"!
Before Marion Jones was the "All American Girl"!
"NOW" she's a "disgraced cheater"/ "Immigrant".

They did the same to Ben Johnson too. After he told the truth, he magically became a Jamaican. "Funny Shit"!

It doesn't help Marion to be black and a woman too! "That's fer sure"!!!

If you ask me, the people that should be in jail are
the whole U.S.A.T.F. body. For the last
twenty five, to thirty, odd years the "governing bodies" knowingly entered illegal athletes into the Olympics and World Championships.
They connived ways to enter cheaters into the "Games".
They're the guilty party here!
Also the Olympic and World Championship "governing bodies" that let that happen,
year after year, after year.
These people are the ones that should be in jail.
Not The Ones Exposing Them For What They Are!
Exposing the hierarchy as Criminals, Liars, Frauds, Swindlers... all Marketing Cheaters.



Don't look for athletes like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemons... to ever
admit to doing steroids, (They did them legally too!)
and I don't blame them.
The former athletes who have "come clean" are being
raked over the coals.

For Telling The Truth!

Toronto International Motorcycle Show 2008

Big Stan and I went to the motorcycle show yesterday.
Ehhh...It was OK. Not as good as last year and way
worse than the year before.
The fuckers wanted $18.00 too!
Ahh...Who cares? It was a Boyz day out.
Plus we went to "Zet's" for steak and eggs.
Now that's worth the drive to the Airport!

Hope ya enjoy the shots.

The End.
