There are some similarities between diabetes and the syndrome. But it's kind of like saying a bloody nose is similar to a runny nose. Over the past 20+ years I've had two periods of about 4 months each when I had a total clearance of the condition. And I have periods where my health is not too bad... like right now and for the past couple of weeks. So I know it can be managed and that it can be, I believe, eliminated. I appreciate you taking the time to do some research. I'll take a look at your link and get back to you. Plan on contacting the Stem Cell folks in Panama today. Blessings.
