My grandson was diagnosed last year w/ type 1. It’s a real shame that the only info we can find about capsaicin is in Canada. Is there anyone doing this kind of research in the U.S. and where? Or are the drug companies keeping this all quiet to keep their profit margin high?

Regarding drug companies not doing anything – unless they can come up with some for of “artificial capsaicin” they can patent and thus protect their research, don’t count on it. Our USA treatment system revolves around patented processes, not what may work great.
