Mannatech

[Guest guest]

As the subject of Mannatech has come up again, I'll add that when I was

googling it, I too found a fraud background, plus most of the searches when

you dig down had some connection with the company or people working for

them.

Your analogy of pouring water in a hole dug in sand is my thought too. But

while you are trying to get the body working again, you have to accept that

a lot of sand will have to be washed away before you can start to build

sandcastles.

To add to your notes on the 8 essential sugars, I've done some research

which might be helpful:

I did research on he founder (I don't have the

link anymore) and I found out he was previously convicted of fraud.

are the 8 essential sugars:

I began to realize that throwing supplement

at a dysfunctional body wasn't helping - sort of like pouring water

in a hole dug in sand. Would like to know what others think.

Thanks..Lydia

I can't agree with you more, i tried the Ambrotose it was a hundred dollar jar

of junk, I can't remember the exact dose but it was like a 1/8 of teaspoon so i

did a tablespoon as I was starting to get real sick. It didn't do a thing.

I have found if you go back to the saying of the Hippocrate " Let food be thy

medicine, medicine will be thy food. " That includes the garden and herbs is what

brought me to the finish line.

Have a Happy and Healthy Day,

Mannatech

A long time ago, I was reeled in by Mannatech. It was expensive and

it didn't work Then I did research on he founder (I don't have the

link anymore) and I found out he was previously convicted of fraud.

I began to notice that anyone claiming to be helped was actually

trying to sell the product. I wouldn't go near that company.

However, I do believe in the science behind glyconutrients. Here

are the 8 essential sugars:

1. Glucose

2. Mannose

3. Galactose

4. Fucose (not to be confused with fructose)

5. N-AcetylGalactosami ne

6. N-AcetylGlucosamine

7. N-AcetylNeuraminic Acid

8. Xylose

The four that aids cellular communication are Mannose, Galactose,

Fucose, and N-Acetalglucosamine .

Mannose is perhaps the most important when it comes to intercellular

communication. Mannose is involved in more cell interactions than any

of the other sugars and a deficiency in mannose has been linked to

many health problems.

The lack of Fucose in the junctions between the nerves would result

in disruption of synaptic transmissions. Fucose plays an important

role in eliminating and reversing inflammation. It has been

discovered that the cause of rheumatoid arthritis is due to low

levels of Fucose and Galactose

Fenugreek contains both mannos and galactose. There is no known

toxicity. Fenugreek helps protect against breast cancer.

Kelp, wakame seaweed, and brewers yeast contains Fucos. According to

studies, intake of large quantities of Fucose in the body does not

cause side effects.

N-Acetalglucosamine is available by supplement. There are many

studies investigating this supplement and MS.

I haven't read anywhere that sugars have to be ingested all at once

in order to work. What I have read is that most complete

glyconutrient products don't contain enough glyconutrients to be

effective. I have found taking the above three products are helpful

and far less expensive than Mannatech.

I've stopped taking most supplements while detoxing heavy metal and

dealing with suspected Lyme, fungus and leaky gut through colloidal

silver (thanks Dudley) I began to realize that throwing supplement

at a dysfunctional body wasn't helping – sort of like pouring water

in a hole dug in sand. Would like to know what others think.

Thanks….Lydia

Mannatech is a member of The World Health Organization (WHO).

Mannatech's membership includes Monsanto, Wyeth, Pfizer, Bayer, BASF,

Cargill and numerous other huge pharma interests. Does that send a

warning? WHO is trying to take away our freedom of health choices

around the world. Mannatech wants to claim nature's bounties as their

own creation. Glyconutrients are not exclusive to Mannatech products!

do you the information, websites, articles, etc. To support your claims.

I would be

interested in seeing it if you do. And you say that these Big Pharmas are

" members " of

Mannatech. Could you clarify what you mean by that?

Thanks,

Jana
