THE TELEGRAPH: BCG vaccine can reverse Type 1 diabetes to almost undetectable levels, eight-year study shows

Description

Prof Daniel Davis, Professor of Immunology, University of Manchester, said: “Relatively small numbers of patients have been studied here but the research does indicate a fascinating and important way in which the power of our immune system could be tweaked by exposure to BCG vaccination.

“More research should, and is, being done to establish definitely whether or not this could help patients with Type I diabetes, and maybe even other autoimmune diseases.”
