An Open Letter:
Carbohydrates have always been
considered as “energy food”, but not
until 1994 was it discovered, and in
1996 proven, and recognized in Harper’s
Biochemistry Textbook, that there are
eight monosaccharides (super carbs),
essential to maintaining good
health. “Essential” means indispensable,
the body cannot make it, and without it
you are sick or dying. I believe this
will go down in history as the most
significant health discovery of the
century! It will rank with or above the
discovery of the essential amino acids,
(protein building blocks); the vitamins
and trace minerals; the essential fatty
acids; penicillin; cortisone; and
chlorthiazide, (the first effective
blood pressure drug)! Note that all but
the last 3 are nutritional discoveries.
These eight glyco-nutrients
(sugar-foods), the essential
monosaccharides, combine with proteins
to form glycoproteins on the
surface of every one of the trillions of
cells in the body. We know them as
communication agents: either
transmitters or receptors.. They
constitute the operating system for all
cell function! The “Microsoft Windows”
of every cell, for the immune
system-which must communicate to
function well or we are sick -- or
dead! (They communicate the needs of
cell repair, defense, nutrition ,
recognition as “my own” or “enemy”,
hormonal regulation, and apoptosis:
programmed cell death, disposal, and
replacement of all cells).
What is amazing is that one
little sugar molecule, misprinted or
omitted, by damage from virus, bacterial
infection, fungi, pollutants, toxins,
stress, or gene defects, can make as
much difference as if you telephoned
1-918-492-023 instead of 1-918-492-0232
:(would not transmit!): Or 1-918
492-0233 (not me: an alien!). Important?
Yes!! Do you realize, for example, that
human blood types differ in only one
small detail: Galactose is the
terminal “address” on the glycoprotein
on the surface of the type B red blood
cell; N-Acetylgalactosamine on the type
A . Transfusing a Type A patient with
Type B blood (or vice versa) results in
a very acute immune-type reaction:
--death!
What is the
significance of this? Only two of
these essential monosaccharides:
glucose from sweet foods and
carbohydrates, and galactose,
from dairy products, are found in our
diet today! Why?? During the past
25 years, our food supply has changed
from home gardens, or local truck farms,
with tree-or vine-ripened fruits and
vegetables, to such industrialization
that now almost all fruits and
vegetables are raised on large
commercial farms. The soil on these
farms is depleted of nutrients and
minerals. The soil is sprayed with toxic
chemicals to kill weeds and insects;
fertilized with nitrogen, potassium and
phosphorous, which still makes plants
grow, but lacks vital trace minerals.
Then, to make it worse, produce is
harvested green, so it can be
transported across the country or ocean
and withstand shipment. Because the
produce is not allowed to ripen on the
vine, our fruits and vegetables do not
have all the phytochemicals that
the American Cancer Society says are so
important in building our immune
systems. ( Phytochemicals are not
produced in our plants until they are
fully vine-ripened ) We further deplete
our grains, source of some essential
sugars, by hulling and removing the
germinal portions of wheat, rice, and
oats etc. The result of all this is that
SIX of the eight ESSENTIAL
monosaccharides are no longer in our
diet! We also deteriorate our foods by
processing methods, preservatives, and
over-cooking. Fortunately, our body can
make the missing 6 super carbs by a
complicated, energy-consuming process,
using 15 or more reactions, each
requiring a specific enzyme--
if everything is working
perfectly! Obviously everything is
not always working perfectly or there
would be no health problems! Note:
The most important essential to life
or health is the one that is
missing!
The Natural Killer cells, a type
of lymphocyte, recognizable in the
blood, and which are the first line of
defense against infections, toxins, and
cancer, have been reduced 30% in the
average “well” American in the past 16
years. Why? Partly because there are now
300-400 new chemicals, which the body
recognizes as toxins- in every cell of
our body, that were not there before
1948! That explains why, in the past
20-30 years, as nutrients in our diet
have decreased, and toxins in our
air and water have increased,
that our body’s defense system has begun
malfunctioning .This is evident in the
increasing incidence of disease and
cancer. The following are the 1997
statistics on the major causes of death
in the US, as reported in the Journal of
the American Medical Association July
27, 2000:
-
Cardiovascular
[Heart and blood vessel disease],
50% of all deaths (also now
considered as a possible
complication of remote Chlamydia,
Coxsackie, or Herpesvirus
infection, with subsequent immune
dysfunction).
-
Cancer,
increased from #8 in 1973 (a result
of a failure in the immune system
to recognize and destroy mutated
cells, which then multiply and
“take over”): 30 % of all deaths,,,
and predicted to be #1, (70 %) in
the next 10 years.
-
Diabetes 12 %
and gaining, (an autoimmune
disorder in type I, destroying
cells that produce insulin); and an
immune dysfunction in type 2: some
receptors do not recognize insulin,
necessary to admit glucose into
cells.
-
Adverse reaction
to properly prescribed
Pharmaceutical drugs! 106,000
such hospital deaths in 1997, not
involving wrongly prescribed
dosages, errors in filling, deaths
outside the hospital, or suicides!
Put this in context with 12,000
deaths the same year by auto
accident involving alcohol. Which
has received the most publicity?
Why??
Finally, it has
been demonstrated that oral administration
of these eight glyconutrients (super-carbs)
is totally non-toxic in any amounts, does
not interfere with bodily function like
drugs do. And results in restoration
of the cell’s ability to communicate its
needs, so that the body can defend,
regulate, nourish, repair and cleanse
itself as God intended. (Human mother’s
milk contains 5 of these essentials: -- no
other animal’s provides more than 2!)
Breast feeding of infants confers lifelong
benefits, which no other substitute or
formula thus far can match!
This discovery is
not a medicine, to be prescribed for
treating or curing a specific disease, but
rather a supplement of vitally
necessary monosacccharides that are
missing in our diet today.
When they are put back into the body, the
body can then do what God designed it to
do: heal itself. A
few of the disorders which have been shown
(in reports or published articles in
Medical and Scientific journals) to be
benefited or restored to normal health,
(without interfering with appropriate drug
therapy as indicated ) are: Asthma,
Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis,
Systemic Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis,
Peripheral Neuropathies, Attention
Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder, Down
Syndrome, Diabetes, Muscular Dystrophy,
Cancer, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s,
Alzheimer’s, Parkinsonism, Hepatitis C, and
AIDS, as well as a whole host of
others. What is the common
denominator of all these apparently
unrelated diseases? Dysfunction of the
immune system. Why? Failure of
communication between cells. Why? A
missing essential monosaccharide in the
surface Glyciprotein of a cell.
Amazing to me was the dramatic
response of Lupus by restoring these
glyconutrients.. Lupus is a disease from an
overactive immune system, when the immune
system actually attacks its “own” body
cells. (“mis-communication”) On the other
hand, I have seen reports that taking
glyconutrients dramatically increases low
immune function as in AIDS or Cancer This
is called “modulation”, reducing the
too-high and elevating the too-low, as in
many diseases which exhibit both types of
dysfunction. Never before
have Medical Doctors seen this, or even
thought it was possible. This was
proven in numerous experiments conducted at
“neutral, third party” research
laboratories, and clinical cases reported
in peer-reviewed Scientific Journals from
all over the world. Nutrition has not been,
until now, a part of USA traditional
Medical School curricula for treating or
preventing chronic illness. This is
changing as of 1999, with the New
Nutrition: Prevention and Wellness, rather
than Sickness and Drug Treatment, as the
new Focus of Medical Care.
Enough of “Micro-Nutrient Biology
101"-even though not mentioned is the
burgeoning problem of Overweight, and the
frightening and rapidly-increasing
microbial resistance to antibiotics, that
are now getting worse by the day.
“Antibiotic resistant” means our most
powerful drugs are no longer working
against infections with these organisms.
They develop Immunity! In addition, there
are “new” viruses and microorganisms
surfacing, for which we have no effective
antibiotic. The bottom
line is: everybody in the world desperately
needs these particular missing
monosaccharides, whether they are now sick,
or “healthy”( = not yet sick !). Believe
me, preventing infections, diseases , and
especially cancers is a lot less expensive
and more efficient and satisfying than
trying to treat symptoms with dangerous
drugs, with never or rarely a
cure!
For years, I have felt helpless and
frustrated, when patients would come to me
for advice and relief of their pain and
suffering, and I was unable to prescribe a
safe drug that would relieve or cure them.
I, as a Doctor, trusted in the axiom “For
every disease, a cure.” I realize now that
was not God’s way. In my
whole life as a Doctor, I have never seen
anything so AWESOME as I am now seeing :
that taking these nutrients orally has
enabled the body to heal itself of almost
any disease known!! (Nothing,
however, is 100% in the real world!) I am
so excited that now, in my retirement, I
have an opportunity to introduce this, and
thus educate and help benefit more people,
safely, more fully, in a much shorter time,
than ever I did in my 60 years of Practice
in the Medical profession!! WOW!
I urge you to look seriously at this
discovery, which, the way it developed, had
to be a revelation from God. Check it out.
[This Company] is the only source of an
oral form of these eight monosaccharides,
any combination of which is “composition
patented or patent-pending” worldwide..
[The Comapny’s] Science and Research labs
are second to none in the field of
pharmaceutical grade nutrients
(nutraceuticals) . There are many
peer-reviewed studies available, as well as
independent studies reported on Medline on
the internet. There are now thousands of
scientific articles documenting the
validity of this discovery in the Medical
Journals. You owe it to yourself and your
family to see what is available to you for
protecting your health in a very unhealthy
world.
To your Health, Happiness,
and Good Fortune!!!
