Health,Medicine and
Glyconutrition: The Future Isn't What it Used to Be |
by:
Dr Robert

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 that 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 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
weight. 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 NEVER saw 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 that the only real answer to
conditions like diabetes or obesity is the "hope" that 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 that "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 Prize 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 that 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 nasty 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
millions 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…
