New research has
shown that certain sugars are biologically active!! and do
not convert to glucose when consumed. Instead, these eight
essential sugars go directly to the protein surface of each and
every cell in our bodies to form a complex system for cellular
communication, the operating system of the body. As your cells
touch each other, they communicate over this sugar code”
everything a cell needs: nutrition, repair, hormones, etc. Doctors who study “glycomics” believe the lack
of these sugars is the reason for much of today’s sickness and
disease.
Without these surface sugars, your body’s
“operating system” breaks down
Your body may decide to attack
healthy good cells, resulting in autoimmune diseases such as
MS,
Lupus fibromyalgia and arthritis, while bad cells like cancer
are left to grow and multiply because your killer cells are
confused. Hormones could be misdirected, leaving you with
physical and emotional problems, while cells may not get the
vitamins
and minerals they need resulting in
all kinds
of
disease conditions.
All health, or lack of it begins at the
cellular level.

Technology Review, February 2003 issue
says: Glycomics, the study and application of these vital sugars
to be one of the Ten Emerging
Technologies That Will Change The World!
Are
the Best Food Supplements: Glyconutrient Products?
Glyconutritionals and Nutraceuticals - What are they?
This site is about fortifying
your immune system,
optimizing your health... and you feeling better
and better.
The word
nutraceuticals is an unofficial term that came
from the combination of nutrition and
pharmaceutical. The word is meant to describe
natural food-based (nutrition) substances that
have pharmacological (healing) effects on the
human body. Nutraceuticals is a relatively new
term used by the Food and Nutrition Board of the
Institute of Medicine for all natural,
standardized, non-toxic dietary supplements
designed to optimize health through improved
nutrition.
A glyconutrient is a new and
more specialized type of nutraceutical. They
support the process our individual tissue cells
use to recognize, and communicate with, each
other.
Unlike other
nutritional supplements, glyconutrients provide
the monosaccharides recently identified as
essential for good human health.
Glyconutritionals address the fundamental
structure of the body. Rather than trying to
chelate out the toxins or add a generic
ingredient like argenine to increase blood flow,
we are dealing with the body's "garden".
Think of how a
garden works. You need good soil, clean water,
good seeds, clean air, and added ingredients to
maintain the soil to keep out the weeds, and
minimize the insects, right? Well, how do
commercial gardeners do this? They add synthetic
chemicals to kill the weeds and spray chemicals
to eliminate the insects! How do 'organic'
gardeners do this? They add more organic matter,
include plants that are naturally antagonistic
to insects, friendly insects ie ladybugs etc...
and then they collect the seeds from healthy
plants to replant.
Similarly, the
medical community and even the alternative
medicine community looks at the body's garden as
something that needs to be 'added to' rather
then simply improving the 'conditions' from
which optimal health can develop. They are
either adding chemicals or adding specific,
generic nutrients to deal with the body's
manifestation, rather than looking at the
fundamental biochemistry. Do you know why they
do it that way? They don't have any new
technology like glyconutritionals... these are
the only food supplements that are fundamental
and unique!
Think of mold
for a minute...mold grows only so long as there
is a dark, moist condition. Add light or
dehydrate the area, and even though there are
spores, no mold can grow! Isn't this the point
with glyconutrients?
So... there
are some incredibly interesting supplements out
there. There are some really interesting areas
of science being studied. But, NONE address this
fundamental aspect of essential biochemistry
like glyconutritionals... NONE! That is why it
is so important to understand the basic
difference.
Now, is it
easy to talk about something so 'different' when
people's minds are wrapped around, 'what
diseases do the glyconutritionals treat?' NONE!
That is the challenge, because these
glyconutritionals don't 'treat diseases', so we
hope you will see how unique and understand how
truly wonderful and special glyconutrients
really are.
Are nutraceuticals and
glyconutrients specifically really a better
solution for vibrant health and wellness? We
hope you decide to find out for yourself. |
