This is something I got in my email this evening that I thought I
would share..Looks like it came right out of Shadowtech..hmm..I
wonder how much it costs..and can they do it with snake venom?? But
that would probably upset the stomach...

*** Gene therapy turns spit into life-saving hormone
California researchers said Tuesday they had used
genetic engineering to turn ordinary saliva glands into
insulin pumps, and said their method had successfully
treated diabetes in rats. They hoped their completely
novel approach to gene therapy could transform the way
diseases from diabetes to dwarfism and even some forms
of cancer were treated. Researchers inserted genes into
the salivary glands of rats to make them produce
insulin and secrete it in the saliva. They did the same
trick with growth hormone. See
