Dwarfs have the cure for Diabetes and Cancer!

In an article in the Wall Street Journal, Gautam Naik describes how a small population of Ecuadoreans "dwarfs" have been studied that they possess a mutation in their body. Although this strange phenomenon stops their growth hormone, it also prevents the development of diabetic and cancerous cells.

Based on data collected over about 22 years, scientists found not a single case of diabetes and only one nonlethal case of cancer among the Laron individuals.

This is a very important find to the scientific and medical community because it provides a possible solution to curing patients induced with diabetes and/or cancer. Although earlier this year there has been a case where a man was cured of his cancer and HIV from using stem cells, only success most likely concludes that it all luck in the scientific world. However, this study of about 100 individuals proves promising in a statistical sense. Further research, mechanisms, and methods are obviously still required for this "cure" to be a viable option.
