Diet Information

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.

Before we address the obvious question about how to take glyconutrients, let’s first discuss briefly what they are.

Glyconutrients, are 100% vegetarian based derived entirely from plants & seaweeds. They combine aloe based saccharides with fucose-rich Undaria pinnatifida. They are Gluten Free; and usually contain arabinogalactan. Arabinogalactan has shown some immune-enhancing activity in the laboratory, particularly with regard to the stimulation of human natural killer cell cytotoxicity.

Glyconutrient products are specifically designed to enhance cellular communication. True wellness begins at the cellular level. Think about it? If your body is made up of millions and billions of cells that need to talk to each other, wouldn’t it do its job better if the communication was better? Glyconutrients have amazing research behind them.

Glyconutrients are typically, sold in a bulk powder, capsule, or liquid medium. I have chosen to only discuss the dosages for bulk powder and capsules, because I believe that liquid supplementations are subject to oxygen and free radical contamination and should NOT be consumed.

Bulk Powder Recommended Use:

One scoop (1/2 teaspon) twice daily mixed with your favorite juice, tea, or water. In trials, the glyconutrient powder has been proven to be safe, & non-toxic, with no known side effects (up to at least 60 scoops per day).

Capsule Recommended Use:

Two capsules twice daily on an empty or full stomach taken with a full glass of water. In trials, Glyconutrient capsules have been proven to be safe, & non-toxic, with no known side effects. (up to 20 capsules per day).

There is an excellent book on the market entitled ‘In Search of Manna’. You can buy it at www.amazon.com. It contains doctor recommendations for ‘emergency’ dosages of glyconutrients based on specific auto immune disorders. The recommendations based above are for maintenace dosages or healthy people that want to maintain good health.

David Filer has a personal experience with ‘cancer’ in his family and believes in a moderate approach to overall supplementation. He believes that glyconutrients are one piece of the entire wellness puzzle.

Glyconutrients are composed of eight simple sugars:

1) Mannose
2) Glucose
3) Galactose
4) Xylose
5) Fucose (not fructose)
6) N-acetyglucosamine
7) N-acetylgalctosamine
N-acetylineuramnic acid

The eight sugars are referred to as the building blocks needed to produce ‘glyco proteins‘ in our body. Cell to cell communication is the number one touted benefit of these glyco proteins.

But when you break down each sugar separately is there really a benefit here? When I think of sugar, I think of ‘table sugar’ which we typically refer to as sucrose or frucose. So how can sugar help our bodies?

To further complicate matters, if these sugars are available in simple plants and fruits - why do we need to take a glyconutrient supplement?

According to the booklet “The Miracle Sugars”, Glyconutrients are found in aloe vera, astragalus, saps, gums, garlic, certain mushrooms, yeasts, husks, breast milk, coconut meat, echinacea, maize, pectins from fruits, some algae, certain herbs. Aloe vera … contains mannose, galactose and arabinose. The leaves of this plant are extremely rich in polysaccharides (long-chain sugars) that give aloe its healing and anti-infection properties when used both externally and internally. Its mannose content is what makes aloe a superior immune booster.”

The answer to my question in the previous paragraph is quite simple. When is the last time you sat down and ate an Aloe leaf instead of an apple? Or better yet, have you ever snacked on algae?

While I agree there is a lot of hype on the market about glyconutrients, the reality is our diets simply do not contain the proper plants and vegetables for humans (or pets for that matter) to consume significant doses of glyconutrients. Even if we were able to do so; the depleted soil and our ever deteriorating environmental conditions reduce the true benefit we would receive from eating these types of plants and fruits.

Let’s assume for a moment we believe that glyconutrients are the real deal. After all, there is a lot of research out there that tell us this. The following is a quote from a well know Doctor on the efficacy and benefits of 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.

So we believe these sugars really can help our bodies. We have establisehd that we can’t feasibly eat the correct fruits and plants ourselves. Where do we find a good glyconutrient supplement? At first I would say, do some internet research. After all, I am writing this article and posting it on the internet.

But wait - the internet is also filled with a lot of people that want to get rich quick and don’t mind scamming people in the process to do that.

So, how do we tell the good glyco supplements from the bad ones? Start with comparing apples and apples. All supplements are partially regulated by the FDA. If somebody is making an ‘outrageous’ claim of a cure, it is too good to be true. Next, is the company you are buying the supplement from a publicly traded company? Why is this important you might ask? Simple - the SEC has strict guidelines for companies being posted on the stock exchange. The mere fact that a company has made it this far gives you a huge insight into their business practices.

Next - make sure you visit the only TWO FDA approved Glyconutrient websites on the internet today.

Lastly, if you had the choice between buying a glyconutrient product that had millions of dollars of research behind it vs. a product that focussed on marketing which one would you choose? There is only one glyconutrient manufacturer in the world currently that has 20 patents on their formulation. Their competitors do not.

Although I am not the biggest fan of the FDA let’s face facts. They do add value to our society. We may argue how much value they add; but it’s there. Its very difficult to get an FDA patent on a nutritional supplement in this country. If it were easy, every glyconutrient supplement maker would have one.

I decided to close this article with one simple thought. We will be debating for years how truly effective glyco supplements are. But we all agree that they are non toxic and completely safe. After all, they are plant and fruit based. If you are suffering from a serious auto immune disorder and/or a life threatening disease, honestly what do you have to lose by trying glyconutrients? What’s your worse case scenario - you still have the disease and lose your battle with it? What if? What if these glyconutrients could ease your pain? What if some people saw benefits in them? What if some people actually saw a reversal in their symptoms or in the illness itself? I don’t know about you; but if I was dying and I thought rubbing my entire body with crisco would give me an outside chance of living - I would do it.

Sometimes, the only way to really separate the truth from the hoaxes is to find out for yourself. Testimonials and research are great; but at the end of the day only you can determine what is BS vs. what is fact.

David Filer is a fulltime corporate professional that experienced first hand the benefits of glyconutrients. His story is unique in the fact that he gave his glyconutrients to his dying dog. He chose to find out for himself what worked vs. what didn’t.

His goal is to challenge others to do their research and make their own informed decision. Glyconutrients are not for everybody; but they may just be the answer that some people are looking for.
