Question to the Faustman faithful

The errant T cells that attack islet cells are in constant
production. How does BCG effect future growth of these T cells?
At best following BCG administration, I would guess a increase in TNF-
alpha, a reduction in bad T cells, but then a return to pre BCG T cell
levels.
Does Faustman intend to have patients take BCG on drip for life?
Surely that is not the case, I hope!
