Health Medicine and Glyconutrition: The Future Isn't What it Used to Be
This is what they call "Hope"?
We've all gotten used to the idea that certain maladies will be
around for a while...like until the Second Coming. Maladies such
as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis...and many more
are expected to be around, in epidemic proportions, longer than
we think we will be alive...and anyone who tries to tell us
otherwise is looked upon with real skepticism. In fact, when
anyone tries to tell us "there's hope" for such maladies as say,
diabetes, we are more likely to believe the person is trying to
sell us something...and usually we are right.
But, what's even worse is the fact that the "hope" we do receive
is usually something like the following:
Studies show that people at high risk for type 2 diabetes can
prevent or delay the onset of the disease by losing 5 to 7
percent of their body we^ight. You can do it by eating healthier
and getting 30 minutes of physical activity 5 days a week. In
other words: you don't have to knock yourself out to prevent
diabetes. The key is: small steps that lead to big rewards.
Learn more about your risk for developing type 2 diabetes and
the small steps you can take to delay or prevent the disease and
live a long, healthy life.
Of course, this is good advice. No denying it. As a medical
doctor, I had to dispense advice like this for years, for
diabetes and other conditions. Funny, as good as it is, I
haven't seen anyone become ecstatic, do cartwheels or celebrate
because they had just received such counsel. Why? Because what
we really want from the medical world, is a cure.!
And why not? It just doesn't seem fair the only real answer to
conditions like diabetes or obesity is the "hope" that means we
stop eating almost everything we enjoy, sweat till we drop,
"pop" prescription pills 'till we're bloated, and think
positive...forever.
A new future?
So, of course, I was skeptical too when I began to hear the
claims associated with glyconutrition. As a long time medical
professional and scientist, I know "claims" are easily made...
And who ever heard of "glyconutrition" anyway?
In 1999, the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to Dr. Gunter
Blobel for his work in the science of Glycobiology (the biology
of glyconutrition). Out of the last eight Nobel Prizes awarded
in medicine, four Nobel Prizes have been awarded for discoveries
made in this ONE field. Believe it or not, this field
(glyconutrition) affects maladies such as diabetes, cancer and
heart disease directly. Why? Because, eight sugars have been
isolated for their support of the immune system and cell
communication.
Additionally, human life cannot be supported without them.
This information got my attention. When a single Nobel Pri^ze
is won in medicine, everyone is paying attention. When four of
them are won in the SAME field, as in this case involving
glyconutrition, the medical world is "on fire" with the news.
As that information made its way through the medical world,
other issues made the news too. For decades the American Medical
Association, the powerhouse of medical professionals, taught
that nutritional supplements were not necessary for good health.
But, in June 2002, the AMA admitted that nutritional
supplementation was vital to good health and helpful in treating
diseases.
Also, the prestigious MIT published its findings. It wrote that
these "sugars" were one of ten technologies it believed would
change the world in the next decade. Nutritional supplementation
was again vital to the conventional medical world...and at the
center of the storm was glyconutrition.
But,
what really jolted me professionally was this: Until these
discoveries, scientists had NO idea how the cells of your body
could tell the antibodies of your body you had an infection and
that they had to "get on over here" to deal with it. Until these
discoveries, scientists had NO idea how the cells of your body
told the rest of your body they needed nutrition, oxygen, waste
elimination, infections healed...and a thousand and one other
necessary functions of every cell. Goodness! We in the
scientific world hadn't known just exactly HOW even aspirin made
its way to that headache of yours. We just knew it worked. So,
we prescribed it.
Sugar? Say it ain't so, doc! But, my attention was riveted to
the news that scientists like Dr. Gunter Blobel had discovered
what it was that let the cells COMMUNICATE with the other
systems of the body. And would you believe it? What he found was
amazing. Sugar...SUGAR! (Glyco = Greek for "sugar") No...not
table sugar (else diabetics wouldn't be so excited over this
new-found help for their diabetes). There are over 200 sugars in
nature but, eight of them are VITAL to our good health. In fact,
eight of them are the glyconutrition "backbone" for helping the
body prevent or heal:
auto-immune diseases such as diabetes, psoriasis overactive
immune disorders such as allergies and asthma under active
immune disorders such as cancer, TB, strep inflammatory
disorders such as colitis, ulcers, Fibromyalgia other conditions
such as Alzheimer's, infertility, heart disease
Suddenly, the medical world was on fire over glyconutrition.
The "anecdotal evidence" concerning glyconutrition is mounting
rapidly as people are finding conditions which have long grieved
them...to be a thing of the past. For so many, the expectation
for the future is not a "long, long, road" fraught with
impossible dieting, grueling workouts, thousands of dollars of
prescriptions, and the need to dream positively.
People are getting relief - from diabetes, heart disease,
cancer, allergies, and many others - with glyconutrition...and
without prescriptions! (Glyconutrition products are NOT
prescription items...they're food.)
Oh yes. I almost forgot. If you go to your doctor and he isn't
aware of glyconutrition, don't panic. Your poor doctor CANNOT
possibly keep up with all of the signs, symptoms, conditions,
and their myriads of treatments, chemical make up and
complications associated with thousands of maladies and the
myriads of prescription antidotes for those maladies. I couldn't
as a doctor, and I had several DECADES of experience in the
field. "Been there ... done that" as they say.
Incidentally, doctors don't usually find out first what works.
They're just too busy being overwhelmed with the medical
conditions they face, day to day. They usually find out like
everyone else...They read about it or attend some seminar.
Often, the marketplace produces antidotes - or research finds
the right treatment, as in this case - long before they do.
But, I can tell you this. Glyconutrition is helping conditions
as diverse as diabetes and Alzheimer's ... and a lot of people
have hope that these conditions CAN be and are
being...overcome...
Suddenly, the future isn't what it used to be...
