This is opposite of what happened to me. I was thinned when I was first diagnosed with diabetes. It wasn't for 2 years later I started gaining weight for no reason. I had a bleeding ulcer and after taking medication, Nexium, for a few months, I also gained 35 lbs. I have been unable to lose no more than 10 lbs of it.

Another intriguing finding emerged from the study: Within the complex cascade of biological events triggered by NF-kB, Shoelson found that C-reactive protein levels were elevated. C-reactive protein, or CRP, has been found to be a strong risk marker for heart disease.

Shoelson is preparing an experiment to test if salicylates also can reduce CRP and thus heart disease risk.

I thought that the link between reducing risk for heart disease and aspirin was already established. At least that's why I thought my cardiologist put my on aspirin.... Seems like this guy is re-inventing the wheel just a bit.

If this drug is indeed possible, it would never be developed by the pharmaceutical industry, nor would it be approved by the FDA.

The government-agency/pharmaceutical complex is not interested in curing diseases. There is no long-term revenue stream generated by curing diseases.

The only kind of diabetes drug that will ever be devloped and approved is one that requires the patient to take it and pay for it every single day for the rest of their lives.

Many people are already taking one of the salicylates, sodium salicylate (aspirin), for its ability to reduce heart attacks.
