"This is going
to be the future. We won't understand immunology, neurology,
developmental biology or disease until we get a handle on glycobiology."
- Gerald Hart,
Biochemist, Johns Hopkins University
"I believe glyconutrients are going to be become a staple
nutritional supplement for all 6 billion people on the face of this
earth within the next 3-5 years."
- Rob Ortmann, M.D.
"The biggest revolutionary change in the war against disease is
represented by glyconutritionals."
- Michael Schlachter,
M.D.
"All that mankind needs for good health and healing is provided in
nature… the challenge of science is to find it."
- Paracelsus, the father

Reclaiming your health
starts at the cell level because healthy cells = healthy bodies.
The last four Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine were awarded for
discoveries in the field of Cellular Communication. This invaluable
research has shown that the body communicates in specific ways. Science
has now revealed that eight specific carbohydrate molecules called
monosaccharides make up the "alphabetic code" that our cells use to
communicate with each other and are not used for energy as the other
more than 200 known carbohydrates does.
The eight vital
monosaccharides are "essential" for building proper "structure". These 8
molecules combine with cell surface proteins to form glycoproteins on
the surface of every one of the trillions of cells in the body. They are
the receptors and transmitters, which enables cell-to-cell
communication. Without adequate amounts of all these eight natural
biologically-active "sugars", the human body cannot function properly.
When your body is missing
one or more of these sugars, there is a breakdown in cellular
communication which has a dramatic impact on your health and are the
source of many health issues. It's like trying to communicate without the 5
vowels from the alphabet.
We only get two of these
eight vital sugars from our modern day diet. We get Glucose (probably
too much) and Galactose. The body is therefore forced to create the
other six (Fucose, Mannose (the active ingredient in the Aloe Vera plant), N-Acetylgalactosamine, N-Acetylglucosamine,
N-Acetylneurominic Acid and Xylose.
Unfortunately it is very
difficult (if not impossible) for the body to continually synthesize
adequate amounts of the missing sugars. It takes an enormous amount of
energy - as much as 37 enzymatic steps - and anything such as stress,
poor nutrition, toxins, lack of sleep, pharmaceutical drugs, auto-immune
disorders or any existing illness will inhibit this process. (Did you
know that 5 of the 8 necessary sugars are present in human breast milk?)
Glycobiology is the study
of these group of 8 saccharides, commonly now called glyconutrients, and
many books and journals have published scientific data on the power of
these sugars for optimal health, e.g. Harper's Biochemistry, Acta
Anatomica, Science, and M.I.T. Technology Review published
glyconutrients as one of the 10 Emerging Technologies that will change
the world!
Clinical studies prove
that glyconutrients stimulate the development of one's bone marrow stem
cells, which have the capacity to, develop into any cell the body
needs, or to replace damaged tissue. Research has shown that
supplementary glyconutrients can have a positive impact on a wide range
of health conditions. It has even shown that it can reverse 10
of the 12 biological markers of aging, e.g. bone density increasing.
Science has long ago
proved that our bodies need proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates,
vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and enzymes for "optimal" health.
Science has now proved that we ALSO need 8 specific sugars, which
are necessary for ALL cellular and immune functions, enabling the
body to heal itself. The most important nutrient is the one that is
missing: Glyconutrients.
