From what I've researched about glycos, YES, they will help your body heal itself! For a healthy body, the cells need to be in total communication. From what I understand, you can be taking all the good vitamins, herbs, minerals, etc..... but your body has to know how to utilize them to peak performance and glycos is that missing link that is needed. It also depends on what type of glycos supplements you take --- some are better than others.
