Diabetes Search Engine Funds Trial to Test Cure
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) September 5, 2008 -- DiabetesWebSearch.com (http://www.diabeteswebsearch.com) is answering tough diabetes questions while funding the only clinical trial to cure type 1 diabetes.
The trial, conducted by Dr. Denise Faustman's Lab at the Massachusetts General Hospital, is a follow-up to the landmark study that permanently cured diabetic mice for the first time. They are testing their technique in humans with type 1 diabetes. (Watch Dr. Faustman explain how the diabetes cure works (http://www.diabetesdaily.com/edelman/2008/09/diabetes-cure.php).)
Dr. Faustman points to DiabetesWebSearch.com as helpful addition to her work: "My colleagues and I appreciate the support DiabetesWebSearch.com will provide for the clinical trial."
DiabetesWebSearch.com is the result of a partnership between Bernard Farrell (http://bernardfarrell.com/), DiabetesDaily.com (http://www.diabetesdaily.com) and TuDiabetes.com (http://www.tudiabetes.com). The project started in mid-2007, when Bernard Farrell launched the Diabetes Search Engine. Farrell is software developer and a leading voice in the diabetes community through his Diabetes Technology Blog.
Farrell was moved to support Dr. Faustman's research after learning that it was completely self-funded. Because the potential cure uses approved, patent-free drugs, the lab cannot get funding from pharmaceutical companies. Although phase 1 of the clinical trial is fully funded, Dr. Faustman will need $25 million to complete phase 2.
With collaboration from other diabetics, Farrell has added more than 1,200 sites about diabetes to the Search Engine, making it one of the most comprehensive resources about diabetes. "If you have any questions about diabetes you'll get the answers through the Diabetes Search Engine," said Farrell.
When someone clicks on a sponsored ad that appears alongside the results of a search on DiabetesWebSearch.com, a contribution is made to Dr. Faustman's research. "We have entered a new era of grassroots activism where patients can directly fund research to improve their own lives. With each search, we are purchasing a small stake in an eventual cure for diabetes," indicated David Edelman, founder of DiabetesDaily.com.
Besides helping fund Dr. Faustman's research, the Diabetes Search Engine empowers patients with access to resources that they would typically not have access to. "When you search for diabetes information on the web, you can get overwhelmed quite easily. Through this project, we hope to make the best resources easier to find for the patient looking for answers," commented Manny Hernandez, founder of TuDiabetes.com.
The Diabetes Web Search can be found on Bernard's Diabetes Technology Blog, on the home page of DiabetesDaily.com and TuDiabetes.com and in many other diabetes blogs and web sites. You can add the Diabetes Web Search box to your site, by visiting DiabetesWebSearch.com.
