Glyconutrient's Role in People and Animals' Health

In test after test conducted at leading institutes around the world, Glyconutritionals (Phytonutrients, Saccharides) have been shown to lower cholesterol, increase lean muscle mass, decrease body fat, accelerate wound healing, ease allergy symptoms, and allay autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, psoriasis, and diabetes. Bacterial infections, including the recurrent ear infections that plague toddlers, often respond remarkably to saccharides, as do many viruses--from the common cold to the flu, from herpes to HIV. The debilitating symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and Gulf War syndrome frequently abate after adding saccharides. And, for cancer patients, saccharides mitigate the toxic effects of radiation and chemotherapy--while augmenting their cancer-killing effects, resulting in prolonged survival and improved quality of life.

Dr. McDaniel - "I have seen quality of life improvements in people with diabetes, HIV-AIDS, heart disease, asthma, autism, allergies, Downs Syndrome and a number of other conditions. Many of these people saw little or no improvement through the use of their prescription drugs."

Many people in the U. S. are astonished that revolutionary glyco-technology has not received the recognition it deserves. However, if one understands the politics and policies of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the pharmaceutical industry this lack of recognition is not surprising. Things are about to change!

The cell surface landscape is richly decorated with oligosaccharides anchored to proteins or lipids within the plasma membrane. Cell surface oligosaccharides mediate the interactions of cells with each other and with extracellular matrix components. The important roles that carbohydrates play in biology and medicine have stimulated a rapid expansion of the field of glycobiology, the focus of the special section in this issue. See page 2357 [Illustration: Cameron Slayden] The recent issue of "Science Magazine" demonstrates that this "New Frontier" of health science is now being accepted by renowned and acclaimed researchers as vital and essential. Scientists during the last decade discovered the importance of amino acids. Now they recognize the importance of carbohydrate molecules, which have special glycoproteins that enable cell to cell communication in the body's fight against free radicals or malignant cells. Diseases are the result of a breakdown in cell to cell communication. When the immune system is glycoprotein deficient, cell to cell communication breaks down.
