• Study Suggests Some Cancers May Go Away - Findings Not Restricted to Ductal Carcinoma in Situ. Fascinating. It may really come down to being able to predict which ones.: Some cancers go into spontaneous remission and not just the simple, early stage ones. We don't know why. It would be fascinating to be able to predict which ones might benefit from watchful waiting.

• Erase Your Mistakes with Exercise: [M]uscles account for only about 40% of your body weight, [but] can take up 80% of any glucose load [from] carbohydrate intake...[B]y enhancing your muscles? capacity to take up glucose with or without insulin, exercise comes closer than anything else to ?erasing? your mistakes with your food, insulin, or other medications that lead to hyperglycemia. ..{P]eople can eat more carbohydrate and process it more effectively following hard or prolonged workouts....Wh en your insulin works better, you need less of it to have the same or even a greater glucose-loweri ng effect. The greatest enhancement in insulin action occurs in the few hours following exercise when your muscle glycogen is most depleted and requires replenishment. During this time, you will likely need considerably less insulin to process any carbohydrates that you eat, and you can get away with eating more carbs after exercise, particularly if it was strenuous and prolonged.

• Terminally Ill Rodents With Type 1 Diabetes Restored To Full Health With Single Dose Of Leptin: 'The fact that these animals don?t die and are restored to normal health despite a total lack of insulin is hard for many researchers and clinicians to believe,' said Dr. Roger Unger...senior author of the study. 'Many scientists, including us, thought it would be a waste of time to give leptin in the absence of insulin. We?ve been brainwashed into thinking that insulin is the only substance that can correct the consequences of insulin deficiency.� 39; The mechanism of leptin?s glucose-loweri ng action appears to involve the suppression of glucagon, a hormone produced by the pancreas that raises glucose levels. Normally, glucagon is released when the glucose, or sugar, level in the blood is low. In insulin deficiency, however, glucagon levels are inappropriatel y high and cause the liver to release excessive amounts of glucose into the bloodstream. This action is opposed by insulin, which tells the body?s cells to remove sugar from the bloodstream.
