Diabetes is a big business and big pharmas do everything to keep their money flow. How many cures there has been with mice ( stop calcularing.. sooo many ) but no cure has been released to humans ( lucky mice ).
Man has been on the moon 47 years ago and we still lack cures to diseases which bring most money to big Pharmas.

Looks like they are closing in on a cure, but who can say when, at this point it does not look like they have started human trials.

Researchers are currently studying the effects of a rainforest vine called ayahuasca, a psychoactive plant that contains a key ingredient that may play a role in reversing diabetes.
Kilham added that in humans, pancreatic beta cells develop within the first year of life, and continue to work to keep blood sugar levels stable to prevent the development of diabetes.
In a recent study published in the journal Nature, scientists reported that the alkaloid harmine, which is found in the ayahuasca vine, actually causes the production of new pancreatic beta cells. Harmine is also found in a plant called Syrian Rue, which may also be a source of the alkaloid. “But what the scientists found was that introducing this alkaloid harmine into a living system resulted in the proliferation of pancreatic beta cells,”
Kilham said. “This is a very big breakthrough,” he said, adding that it could potentially mean that type 2 diabetics might be able to achieve a reversal of their condition by taking harmine in some form, while type 1 diabetes patients might be able to produce healthy new pancreatic beta cells, therefore no longer requiring insulin therapy or being considered diabetic.

So, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter are State Media now?
Well FB did admit it's algorithms gave preference to pro-Hillary "news" so yeah in a roundabout way it is a mouthpiece for the Ruling Party Elite

The Rockef33ler's knew how to cure type 1 and type 2 diabetes in 1915 according to the New York Times, and their family physician:
All I can say is that whether they did know it in 1915, or in NOW, it's damned well overdue for happening. Not tomorrow. Now!

Also Chris Kilham has a line on some cool stuff that might be involved.

A friend of mine just lost 4 toes to it this year.
So there is medicine out there that can help.
The FDA can be a pain in the ass with their regulations on testing.
It takes years and huge money to get a drug approved. How many people die waiting for testing to be done to death and it gets the go ahead anyway.

That's very interesting. I searched a little for baking soda and salt as a treatment for diabetes. Apparently high acidity plays a role in insulin production/resistance, and the alkalinity of the baking soda helps address that. Some sites recommended Himalayan salt, which is high in trace minerals. I also saw some suggestions to use the baking soda with lemon in water -- not surprising, since lemon juice has an alkalizing effect on the body as well.
I didn't find any clinical studies addressing baking soda as a treatment for diabetes -- neither supporting nor debunking such claims. Perhaps there are some and I just didn't find them... perhaps no on has bothered to study it clinically.
The only way baking soda can alter the pH of the body is by injecting it directly as a solution into your veins (don't do it, you will die).
Ingesting it will not alter the body's pH in the slightest.
The great advantage to using bicarbonate orally (reinforced by strong magnesium and bicarbonate baths) is that one can dose during all the waking hours and receive a full course of treatment in about ten days. Anyone can drive up their pH and saturate all their cells to a much higher extent through these methods.

I may be reading either your comment or the literature incorrectly; but in terms of treating cancer with baking soda, there are clinical studies which show a correlation when baking soda is taken orally or transdermically (such as a bath).

Hi Agartha! And thank you -- you are my earth angel in these matters and I soooooo appreciate it!!! That's one long study to read so I decided I'd better respond to you first...
That's a very very tight range for our ph. Rather surprises me, but I'm not sure why. I do have a couple questions (surprise! surprise!). So am I understanding correctly that ingesting baking soda would have little effect on our overall ph balance (blood serum levels), but would affect some functions or conditions? And would that only be temporary -- as in only until the kidneys can bring it back into balance? (I would assume by flushing the excess).
And -- this may be a random question, but it came to mind, so I'm going to ask -- is there indication that some organs or functions might be more responsive to baking soda, or perhaps the baking soda may stimulate some functions or organs in some way, before being flushed out of the body? I'm not sure what significance it would have, just curious for now I guess...
