Stem cells reverse woman’s diabetes (opens in new tab)

It's also important to not underestimate just how powerful lifestyle changes can be even in the face of (a lot of our potential) dire outcomes. Not sure about gums here specifically.

Reversing a condition once you have it is an order of magnitude more difficult to fix than to prevent, but if you're in luck and able to do so, every day now has the potential for taking a step in the right direction.

My favorite example of this is post-menopausal women regaining bone density, muscle mass, balance, mood etc. to rival women half their age in a matter of a few weeks (weight training). The same can be said for pre-diabetes, early T2, high blood pressure, addictions... the list goes on.

With regards to OP, I hope you find some relief somehow! I still have some baby teeth with very short roots; the second I get inflamed gums my pain level approaches levels were I can't function properly. What is the symptoms of receded gums?

From your own mouth or from cadavers? Cadavers sounds freaky to me, from my own mouth seems like I'm just robbing Peter to pay Paul, but maybe it's worth it.

I had all the habits, I just wasn't prioritizing them if I was tired or sleeping late due to school/work/stuff. I probably should have prioritized set times to do them each day irregardless of what I was doing. Plus, I didn't take seriously the habit to brush for several minutes instead of several seconds.

Not the OP, but on top of cleaning the gaps between teeth well, I started going to dental hygienist four times a year and the expense seems to be worth it.

Nowadays my gums just don't bleed ever, period, even when the hygienist is scrapping away calculus.

Nowadays many hiv positive individuals are in better than average health. And a fluke for the ones diagnosed with AIDS they enjoy a slightly longer than average lufe expectancy. This is part a survivor bias, where only the fittest of tgat cohort survived. It is also due to their being eledgable for medicaid with double the income of anyone else.

I'm curious why they don't transplant into the pancreas?

This. I’m stupefied that they would include someone in immunosuppressants in such a study. It’s pointless since requiring them in a “cure” makes it largely worse than the disease (when well controlled).
