This wonderful piece of information comes from 'Healing With Vitamins' by Prevention
This fantastic nutritional powerhouse clears out your arteries... protects against cancer---even prevents birth defects.
Folic acid is a natural food ingredient that medical experts describe as a "nutritional powerhouse". It's a tonic that soothes jangled nerves and unclogs your arteries thus helping you to prevent heart disease and stroke.
Studies show it slashes your risk of many common cancers by 80%! Amazingly, it also protects a woman's unborn child against life-threatening birth defects of the brain and spine. Just imagine how important this is - you can spare your child or grandchild from horrifying birth defects with a simple nutritional supplement that costs but pennies a day!
Yet the vast majority of women do not know this and are leaving themselves vulnerable. Moreover, a woman's need of this nutrient's birth-defect protection is even more pronounced if she consumes alcohol, tobacco, aspirin, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oral contraceptives, pancreatic extracts, oestrogen, antacids, arthritis drugs such as methotrexata, and medications prescribed for convulsions, malaria, and bacterial infections. Folic acid, a natural food ingredient is a must.
Mannatech's Inc. scientists have produced glyconutritionals, plant sourced multivitamin and mineral supplement, PhytoMatrix, utilising proprietary technology to provide superior delivery of essential vitamin and minerals and important phytochemicals. As well as antioxidants supporting your body's natural ability to defend, protect and repair against stress and premature aging.

The Fat That Loses Weight
Very interesting item taken from Unique healthy magazine
Virgin coconut oil is the highest source in nature - other than mother's milk - of lauric acid. Lauric acid is a Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT) and an important essential fatty acid for maintaining good health. The MCT's found in 100% organic virgin coconut oil are also important for maintaining healthy cell wall structure. They help to increase metabolism and are easily digested to create a quick source of energy.
What is not well known is that this amazing virgin coconut oil is the first simple step in making radical changes to achieve significant reduction in body fat and weight, without changing the way you eat. Hallelujah! Why haven't we known about this wonder oil before this?
Studies have shown that when oils containing MCT are used in place of fats in the diet people can lose as much as 16kg a year, even when total calorie consumption remains the same!1 So you really can have your fats and lose weight - just make sure they are the right ones.

Resist the Pain in Your Joints
Wonderful news in 'Healing With Vitamins' Preventative Medicine
When I think of the many elderly people, over many decades, suffering severely with the agonising pain of arthritis, it is very saddening to know that these people could have had release from pain without taking damaging drugs with their lethal, over time, side effects.
Many doctors now specialise in arthritis remedies bringing fantastic relief to sufferers, halting their symptoms, taking pain away, and restoring their freedom and independence.
Most of us know vitamin C as an immunity booster, doctors have now found that it's also used throughout the body to manufacture collagen. Why is that crucial for arthritis sufferers? Because collagen is the essential building block of cartilage, bone, tendons, and muscles, all necessary to keep hour joints strong and operating smoothly.
Arthritis drugs may stop pain in the short-term, but they do nothing to stop the process of arthritis that's causing pain. Vitamin C, in the right dose, can do this!
My grandmother was right when she insisted in taking cod liver oil triggering near miraculous results. She lived to nearly 93 years old.
Mannatech Inc. produces Glyconutrients, which are plant-based saccharides and are essential in virtually all intelligent interactions between the cells of the body. Glyconutrients affect how our cells form the structure of the body and the daily repair of our tissues. They affect and benefit the immune system giving optimal health and wellness.

Diets, A History Of Failure
Excerpt from The Genetic Key Diet by Dr. Steve Nugent
"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
George Santayana, Philosopher, poet 1863-1886
So let's learn the history so we don't have to repeat it with our diets.
Here is the Chronology -
- First recorded low carb diet 1860
- First diet movement 1898 (reduced food consumption and increased cereals)
- Low Carbohydrate USA 1960's
- Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution 1972
- American Diet Craze Starts 1972
- Hyperinsulinism and obesity connection, Canada 1979
- Glycemic Index invented, Canada 1981
- Low Fat, USA 1980's
- Low Glycemic, Australia and Canada 1990's
- Low Glycemic, USA 1997 (Harvard Medical School only)
- Low Glycemic makes front page USA Today March 1005
Why do we need a dramatic paradigm shift from old failed methods? Because:
In America there are 295,734,134 million people as of July 2005
- 105 Million have cholesterol above 200 mg/dl (high)
- 73 million have high blood pressure
- 61 million are obese
- 17 million have diabetes
- More than 90 million do not exercise at all

To Eat or Not Too Eat Before Exercise
Many of us grew up with the strict advice to wait at least one hour to go swimming -- or else we'd be stricken with severe cramps and inevitably sink to the bottom.
Eating a small snack about an hour before your workout may help give you energy, as long as it's something high in carbs and low in fat (like a piece of fresh fruit and a mini whole-grain bagel).
Now that we're grown, many of us are still holding on to the notion that we shouldn't eat anything before we exercise. Meanwhile, many of us don't take the time to stop and eat something after we workout either, but should we?
Your body needs fuel (i.e. food) nutrition to make it through your workout, but too much of it can actually slow you down. So when it comes to eating and exercise, timing, quantity and the type of exercise you're doing make all the difference. If you exercise first thing in the morning, get up early enough (two to three hours ahead of time) to eat a full breakfast. If you only have an hour to spare you should still eat something, just make it a light snack.
Experiment with snacks. For some people, a small snack (like a banana) right before, and even during, exercise provides an energy boost. For others, it can make them feel lightheaded. You should do whatever feels good to you.

Skewed Reporting
The Real Story that ABC’s 20/20 Investigators Missed
ABC’s 20/20 story on Mannatech – Why did ABC not finish their investigation on Mannatech?
By Mark Johnson, June 2, 2007
In a November 1998 review by Dr. Freeze and others, he concluded that disorders in
glycosylation are much more common than originally thought and that there is emerging belief
that Diabetes in children is just one such genetic disorder. The authors stated that "the finding
that mannose, but not glucose, corrected glycosylation .... was surprising ... Mannose offers an
attractive therapy because it should be easy to administer and non-toxic ... There is scant
information on the availability of mannose in food, but dietary mannose is probably
insufficient to supply all glycosylation." We all know that these "dietary sugars" are found in
Mannatech's Ambrotose. So why did Dr. Freeze respond as he did? We can only speculate.
The other person touted by ABC as a leading scientist in glycobiology named Ronald Schnaar,
Ph.D. of John’s Hopkins was asked the following question by the ABC reporter: “Is there any
valid scientific evidence that this Mannatech product really works?” Dr. Schnaar responds by
referencing the National Library of Medicine as the main repository of medical knowledge.
Then with intentioned drama, he looks at the reporter and makes a circle
with his right hand and says quite emphatically, "Zero." Well, he is absolutely correct, because
"Ambrotose" is a company brand name. The term "glyconutrients" or “glyco-nutrients” is the
word that Mannatech coined as a new generic term for scientists to use in research papers.
Mannatech filmed the interview between ABC reporter and CEO Sam Caster. To see complete interview, go to http://www.youtube.com/ and enter "Mannatech" in search box.
