They're not like drugs, they're like nutritional food. You need nutrients to restore health. They are much more effective if they're taken along with a healthy diet. In fact, M****tech recommends eating raw fruits and vegetables. Glycos are the sugars that used to occur naturally in produce, but because of today's reckless farming habits and green harvesting, the sugars aren't developing naturally. Glyconutrients are a bioavailable source of these essential sugars. They aren't a magic cure. They're nutritional supplements. They aren't the only supplement anyone here needs, but they help in ways that other supplements don't. You wouldn't stop eating right just because you get well and you don't quit taking supplements that get you good results. Allison
