It has been shown in many cases that a "detox" or cleansing in fact does occur when using these products. The products do not heal they allow the bodies cells to begin to communicate. When the cells communicate then the healing takes place. Glyconutrients are essental "sugars" which coat EVERY cell in the body. This allows the cells to communicate to each other, thus recognizing damaged or diseased causing cells. Then the body gets rid of these. The damaged cells when being released by the body can create a cleansing effect. I would never recommend to stop or discontinue any current forms of treatment when using the glyconutrients. However you will soon find they are not necessary and discontinue them. Visit wed site www.glycoinformation.info for an easy to understand format for glyco education.
