Glyconutrients supply the "food" for proper cell-to-cell communication. Here is some more info on what they do. All disease conditions are ultimately a result of improper cell-to-cell communication. All diseases have an immune and /or glandular component. Cell to cell communication is the critical key to homeostasis (balance of health) and immune system function. Glyconutrients: of 200 known saccharides, 8 are identified as essential for cell to cell communication by Harper's Biochemistry 24th Edition [1996], Chapter 56 . Chart 56-4 identifies these saccharides. There are bad sugars and there are good sugars (saccharides). To make the comparison: Battery acid versus Amino acids Twinkies versus Glyconutrients The functioning of the Endocrine System can illustrate how critical to health cell to cell communication is: Each part of the Endocrine System is connected electrochemically. The master gland, the hypothalamus, secretes releasing hormone, which acts on the anterior pituitary through cell to cell communication. The anterior pituitary then secretes stimulating hormone, which acts through cell to cell communication on other glands: thyroid, parathyroid, thymus (master immune gland), renal glands (kidneys), adrenal glands, pancreas, and male and female reproductive glands. The entire system operates at every step through cell to cell communication, with a feedback loop, at the speed of light, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If there is any interruption in the system, including a shortage of any of the 8 sugars, you will have dysfunction, and no chance for proper function. Extensive documentation reveals that 6 of the 8 sugars (saccharides) are nowhere in our modern diets due largely to fumigation, chlorination, refinement and "green" harvesting of our food supply. The body was designed with a backup system to manufacture any of the 6 sugars from glucose or galactose, the only 2 essential saccharides prevalent in our diets today. This is a fragile process requiring hundreds of enzymes, and is easily derailed if just one enzyme is lacking (lactose intolerant persons lack just one enzyme-lactase). Shark cartilage, Echinacea, noni juice, shitake mushrooms, numerous other botanicals and colostrums are immune stimulants to a degree, and have one thing in common-they offer one or a few of the saccharides. Only one company can offer all eight saccharides is a single supplement, and it is the only one that can honestly be called an immune modulator. Glyconutrients are an immune modulator. They normalise excessive functions or depressed functions of the immune system, while leaving the system's normal functions undisturbed. 20,000+ scientific papers have been published on the immune modulating effects of glyconutrients. Every cell requires glycoproteins (any combination of the 8 sugars, attached to a protein 'tail') for 85% of its cellular processes. Glyconutrients have been determined to have no level of toxicity at all. However, all drugs are toxic. For drug formulation, the US Food & Drug Administration requires that all drugs carry an LD50 rating; this means that at a certain dosage 50% of patients on that preparation will die. To arrive at this figure, researchers feed their laboratory animals increasing amounts of the drug, until 50% of the animals are dead. Every FDA approved drug has an "LD50" rating. In the case of Glyconutrients, increasing the servings only increased the animals' level of health. Have you noticed this amazing phenomenon? A patient taking 12 toxic pharmaceutical drugs will accept them all without question from the physician, usually unaware that adverse reactions from properly prescribed and consumed approved pharmaceutical drugs are the nation's 4th leading cause of death14. Yet.... when a loved one recommends a natural nutritional supplement they ask if it is safe??? Death rates in 1998 (the figures are much worse now): Heart Disease: 743,460 persons Cancer: 521,904 Stroke: 150,108 Adverse Drug Reactions: 106,000 Pulmonary Disease: 101,077 If you would like more info on these products let me know.
