A CURE FOR EMMA:

The tsunami of '04... The death of my dearest friend... The crash landing of our plane on my family's first vacation. That should have been enough to bring me to a place of deeper reflection�oh, how I wish!

Sometimes, the waters of change become murkiest before settling into their calmer, more pristine state. When that pivotal moment strikes, changing everything, you have a choice: retreat into fear and despair, or heal the wounds of the past, focus on the future you intend to create, and listen to any messages tap-tapping on your door or inside your head.

It took the diagnosis of an incurable disease for my seven-year-old daughter�our fourth catastrophe in one year�to grab me by the shoulders and stop me in my tracks. This turning point, this "cry Uncle" moment made me see the vibrational boomerangs I had been sending out into the universe. I could no longer ignore the relentless pounding of these similar energetic events and ever hope to live in peace.

It was time to cut a deal with my analytical, scientifically-trained mind�to investigate and participate in a world that could not be proven in a lab. From medical professional to wellness facilitator and stay-at-home mom/pancreas, there had to be a way to get back on track and save my daughter, my family and my mental state. There was no doubt: I would turn over every stone until I found it!

LOOK INSIDE THE BOOK

...My intention for this book is to raise awareness and money. Awareness of the control we actually have within our lives, even in the midst of what seems like uncontrollable circumstances. And money, to help make a cure for this disease possible for the millions of people worldwide afflicted by it.

Boston researcher, Dr. Denise Faustman, is a Massachusetts General Hospital scientist who along with a small team has been working on a type 1 diabetes treatment for many years. Dr. Faustman�s promising research utilizes an existing vaccine known as BCG, which has been used as a tuberculosis vaccination and is indicated as a treatment for bladder cancer.

BCG has shown excellent results in phase I of human clinical trials for eliminating the �Killer T� cells, which are responsible for destroying the insulin producing beta cells of the pancreas. Once the �Killer T� cells are eliminated there has been evidence that the beta cells can regenerate and produce insulin again!

I believe that Dr. Faustman has one of the most promising approaches to curing type 1 diabetes and her lab is about to begin phase II of human clinical trials which is very exciting.
