Type I or "Juvenile" Diabetes
affects millions of children and young adults worldwide. It causes
severe complications such as heart and liver disease and nerve
damage. It is the number one cause of blindness, the sixth leading cause of death in the world, and it
significantly shortens the life expectancies of all afflicted. But, now there is real hope!
Through the groundbreaking
research of Harvard's Dr. Denise Faustman and her team at
Massachusetts General Hospital, a cure is now in sight! Dr. Faustman
has a 100% success rate in reversing diabetes in
laboratory mice, and she is ready to begin clinical trials on humans.
Dr. Faustman has been featured in the New York Times, and was rated
the number one woman scientist of the year in Oprah's O Magazine.
Despite all the praise, she has been unable to obtain funding from
traditional sources such as pharmaceutical companies or the Juvenile
Diabetes Foundation (probably because she's going to put them out of
business). That's why she needs our help!
Lee Iacocca, who lost his wife to
diabetic complications at age 57, established The Iacocca Foundation 20 years ago to
help find a cure. He is so confident in Dr. Faustman's research that
he has pledged all the foundation's resources plus a million dollars
of his own money to get the ball rolling.
is also
donating a portion of its profits to the cause.
