Re: Straight up question Do These glyconutrients really work?

My wife and I have been helping people with glyconutrients the past 3 years. They work, but are not the magic bullet that we wish they were. Some people though, have had remarkable results. A few people at Glycop (a simple search will find us) have experienced remarkable remissions of some very serious illnesses.

Glyconutrition may be more effective if people take a close look at their lifestyles and eating habits. One of the biggest culprits is commercially baked goods. They are chocked full of junk, such as high fructose corn syrup and fortified because all the vitamins and minerals are stripped during processing. The addition of Folic acid for the general population is also a questionable practice.

There are too many individual factors to simply say they work for everyone and it truly is a lifestyle change that people need to consider. That fact that most American diets are comprised of about 30% fortified grains has a lot to do with the health issues we face in this country. A good alternative is to search for sprouted grain products and consider them as an substitute for processed grains.

Many liquid aloe vera 'gels' must have preservatives added to keep them from breaking down. Take a look at the label, they almost always have something added to thicken them. It may be best to consider an aloe that is freeze dried, or of similar quality.

The aloe is important, but not the only factor. Each ingredient needs to be looked at individually, when considering your source of glyconutrients. Mushrooms being a good example, traditionally they are heavily steeped to extract the beneficial compounds, as the human body has great difficulty in digesting the cell walls of mushrooms.

Metamucil used to be made of Acacia Gum and had great health benefits for many people. In fact, one of the longest recorded cases of survival from acute renal failure, without dialysis, was a result of consuming Acacia Gum. I'm not certain that the current formulation of Metamucil could accomplish that, since it now is primarily a "Psyllium Dietary Fiber Supplement".

The truth is that Science has a long way to go and there are many questions yet to be answered regarding the effectiveness of one ingredient over another. Each has it's purpose and I will try not to bore you with the details.

I hope that you find this information useful and healthful. Tweet
