This won't affect permanent damage done as a result for those who have other complications but it can hopefully stop progression of those problems. I had an edema in my eye and as a result of my lifestyle change I have been able to almost reverse it! I understand that isn't a common thing to do. I also have some peripheral neuropathy in my foot. That won't reverse either, but I'd like to get rid of the source of it's cause.
It'll be a few years until this cure is proven and made available, but there is hope on the horizon!
