If you or somebody you care about is struggling with fatigue, autoimmune disorders, or a life threatening illness, glyconutrients can help. These all natural plant based ‘raw materials’ help support your body’s ability to produce special structures called glycoproteins. Glycoproteins directly affect the ability of your cells to communicate with each other so they are functioning correctly. Everybody responds and fights disease the best when your cells are communicating effectively.

Most bodies’ do not metabolize food and nutrients correctly b/c their body is “out of balance”. The glyco proteins in Glyconutrients, provide your body the raw materials it needs to encourage your body to ’self-correct’ any imbalances.

“Your body is an amazing health machine that can heal itself of disease if you give it the proper nutrition.”

Glyconutrients should be taken in conjunction with a GOOD multi-vitamin. They are not a replacement for a healthy diet and multi-vitamin supplementation. The addition of Glycontrients to your diet will enhance the efficacy of your wellness regime (proper nutrition and vitamin supplementation).

What do Doctors Say about Glyconutrients?

“The biggest revolutionary change in the war against disease is represented by glyconutrients. Glyconutrients are taking their place as one of the pivotal classes of nutrients. I know this not only because of the medical studies but also by the profound effects it has had toward promoting health in my patients that had been lacking over the past 20 years”.
— Michael D. Schlachter, M.D., Board Certified Internal Medicine and Pulmonary Disease Clinical Instructor, University of Nevada Medical School.

Harper’s Biochemistry, a textbook used by many of the top medical schools in the U.S., was rewritten in 1996 to add an entire chapter listing the 8 necessary glyconutrients… mannose, galactose, glucose (the only glyconutrient still plentiful in our modern diets), fucose, xylose, n-acetylglucosamine, n-acetylgalactosamine, and n-acetylneuraminic acid. The co-author of Harper’s, Dr. Robert Murray, was so impressed with the company we listed for you to obtain your glyconutrients that he now is on their Board of Medical Directors.

Glyconutrients are the next generation of wellness supplementation. We have just started to understand the many benefits of them. The research reported in the last two decades has fueled a new approach towards wellness and ignited a new sense of hope with many of the world’s leading immunologists, researchers, and doctors.

David Filer has a passion for overall nutrition and wellness. His goal is to education people on what is fact vs. what is fiction. Only through true education and research, can consumers makes an educated decision about what nutritional products to consume.

Calcium is an essential mineral and is required for human life. However talk about the benefits of coral calcium can be confusing and may make it difficult to put into context how we can benefit from appropriate levels of calcium in the diet, be it from food or from supplemental sources.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, and has several important functions. More than 99% of total body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth providing the necessary support to their structure. As a normal function of biology, the living cells of the body absorb new calcium to replace lost calcium or to build upon existing structure as in the case of childhood growth or in healing.

Coral calcium is a salt derived from fossilized coral reefs. The living coral reefs are endangered and most major reefs are protected by law as they cannot be harvested without severe damage to the ecosystem. Coral calcium is harvested by grinding up above-ground limestone deposits that were once part of a coral reef.

Coral calcium itself is composed primarily of calcium carbonate with small amounts of magnesium and other trace minerals. Chemically, calcium carbonate from coral sources is no different than from other sources of calcium, despite the claims otherwise by some companies. However, the addition of trace minerals, which may be deficient ones diet, could explain why some claim benefits of coral calcium over more refined sources of calcium supplements.

While the calcium component of coral calcium is identical to any other limestone deposit, fossilized coral reefs may contain trace minerals helpful to the human body. Though it’s unlikely that a well-fed individual would be deficient in any of these minerals, clear dietary data shows that while the average American diet may be providing abundant levels of calories, salt, fat and preservatives, it is otherwise low in nutrition. Therefore, many people may benefit from a basic level of supplementation of all essential and necessary nutrients, including calcium.

There have been many unsubstantiated claims made regarding coral calcium, perhaps the most controversial of which is the suggestion that coral calcium cures cancer by increasing pH of the body. Scientific studies have been performed indicating that cancer cells cannot survive at sufficiently high pH levels. However, while this may be true when tested in a Petri Dish, the pH required to kill cancer cells also kills healthy human cells.

Another problem with the “body alkalinization” concept is that the body pH doesn’t change, regardless of how much calcium carbonate is ingested. The human body can only function properly within a narrow pH range. It has been shown that if alkalinizing agents are ingested, the body promptly excretes the alkaline components in urine. Attempting to increase the pH of bodies only appears to succeed in raising the pH of the urine. The same applies if acidic foods are ingested in that the urine becomes more acidic.

Calcium itself is an essential mineral for human life, and coral calcium is an effective source of it, though by no means the only one. When researching any supplement, keep in mind that supplements are intended to improve nutrition. They are not designed to treat, cure or mitigate any disease. However, high quality supplements are an excellent way to supplement, but not substitute, the benefits of a good diet.

If you avoid fruits and vegetables because of fear of pesticides, you’re harming yourself. People who eat the most produce, which is the highest source of insecticides, are the ones least likely to suffer cancers and heart attacks. One of the most-respected cancer researchers, Bruce Ames, professor at the University of California, Berkeley, believes that pesticides prevent cancer.

Almost all the pesticides that we eat were placed in fruits and vegetables by nature, not by man. Fewer than one percent of the pesticides are made in chemical factories. Most people who complain about man-made pesticides do not understand that most insecticides are copies of those found naturally in plants. When man-made pesticides are given for a very long time to animals, 50 percent develop cancer. When similar doses of natural plant-made pesticides are given to animals, 50 percent also develop cancer. Even with the help of pesticides to preserve our crops, only nine percent of Americans eat the recommended minimum of five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. According to Dr. Bruce Ames, this lack of phytochemicals in produce accounts for at least a third of the cancers in industrialized nations. Life have been on earth for 3.5 billion years, and a huge percentage of the plants that have been on earth have become extinct because insects, bacteria, viruses, fungi, man and animals have destroyed them. The minuscule number of plants that have survived contain insecticides to protect them from being destroyed.

Insects multiply so fast and have such voracious appetites that they would destroy every food crop known to man if it were not for the natural insecticides produced by plants and the manufactured insecticides produced by man. Since people are concerned about the use of insecticides manufactured by man, researchers have developed almost exact copies of insecticides made by plants. For example, chrysanthemums produce pyrethrins that protect them from many insects. Manufacturers make copies of plant pyrethrins that have never been shown to be more toxic than those from the plant. Since some concerned groups oppose man-made copies of plant insecticides, scientists have gone one step further. They have taught plants how to make their own new insecticides. For example, a bacterium called bacillus thuringiensis makes an insecticide that kills the Colorado potato beetle that devastates potato crops. Scientists have genetically engineered potatoes to make exactly the same chemical that is made by the bacteria. So Colorado potato beetles die when they eat these potatoes. Man-made insecticides that are copies of plant-made insecticides have not been shown to be more toxic than plant-made insecticides, and plants that are genetically engineered to make large amounts of insecticides have not been shown to be either safer or more toxic than regular plants.
