    No they didn’t, and this wasn’t true the last time this single uncontrolled study about a single patient was reported on.

    This took years of non-controlled trial and error weaning the single patient off of a medication without defining a specific undisputable treatment and has not been followed up by any corroborating controlled studies repeating the treatment on many more patients.

    Again, a single patient.

    I’m glad this guy doesn’t need to take insulin anymore, but a single momentary anomaly does not a cure make.
