Contributing Editor Melina Papadakis reports on an important medical breakthrough.
-----------------------------------
For those suffering from diabetes, there may be help in the future, thanks to the work of Dr. Marc Rose, president and co-founder of VitalCare – www.vitalcaretechnology.com. Dr. Rose may have developed a potential cure for diabetes.
Most people think of diabetes as a blood sugar problem, but that is just a symptom of the disease. Diabetes is caused by a malfunctioning metabolism. No matter how carefully a type 1 (juvenile onset) or type 2 (adult onset) person with diabetes monitors blood sugar or measures insulin, he or she is still fighting a ticking clock. Nearly all people with diabetes will eventually have complications like kidney or heart failure.
VitalCare clinics use iCAT Therapy to give patients micro-pulses of insulin, mimicking the way food and energy are processed in the normal human body. Dr. Rose says that over time, the treatment stops, stabilizes and actually manages to fix damage from diabetes. To date, no negative side effects have been reported.
The FDA-approved, once-a-week, six-hour treatment costs one-thousand dollars. That may sound like a lot, but compared to a lifetime of medical complications this actually saves HMO's, PPO's, hospitals and taxpayers' money. "If we can cut hospitalizations for diabetes by just 50 percent - and we can - that will save millions of dollars a year," said Dr. Rose. Rose has 30 VitalCare clinics throughout the country, but foresees more.
