Yesterday I read that there is a cure for diabetes on <a>www.healthcaredaily.org</a> Is this way of curing diabetes mentioned actually true, If so I should have found out earlier! The source looks like a reliable healthcare news website Could you someone tell me if this healthcare information is for real? Thanks Loolillefly Hi Everyone

I just became a member of this forum

Great job forum crew!

Yesterday I read that there is a cure for diabetes on http://www.healthcaredaily.org
Is this way of curing diabetes mentioned actually true, If so I should have found out earlier! The source looks like a reliable healthcare news website

Could you someone tell me if this healthcare information is for real?

Thanks

Remember that those things can fire things faster than a bullet.<br>They can be deadly :D!<br>I however also wanna make my own! Guys! Remember that those things can fire things faster than a bullet.
They can be deadly :D!
I however also wanna make my own!

The mechanism is prett ingenious, well worth a read. The how-to for the coilgun is up- it is a true coilgun using the traditional camera flash parts.

You can easily make a decently powerful coil gun with a soda straw, some enameled wire, and a disposable camera flash. It'll shoot BBs about 10 - 15 feet depending on how good you're winding is, and staples even further. Add a few more caps and maybe some extra winding stages and you have quite the bb shooter.

I'd really like to see the tut too, a rail/coil/gauss gun always comes across as something big and bulky, or at least within the realm of putting one on a child's toy. very nice mod. i think that face is just too innocent looking to be armed though :.
