Everybody
has natural killer cells that identify and kill tumour cells
and cells infected with viruses or some type of fungi or bacteria.
The body has the genetic capacity to defend itself against
viruses and bacterium, to cleanse itself of destructive toxins,
to absorb and utilize nutrients for fuel, and to heal itself
from damage or disease.
Healthy
bodies must have accurate biochemical, direct cell-to-cell
communication l to function correctly. All body functions
require cellular communication. Cells communicate by
using glycoproteins made up of various sugar molecules known
as saccharides. Some of the connections for the saccharides
are to lipids, forming glycolipids. These chains extend off
the surface of every cell and can change thousands of times
in a second. Cells actually touch each other to communicate
by reading each other's cell surface messages. Disease and
dysfunction occurs when the components necessary for cell-to-cell
communication are absent.
Essential
8 required for good health.
Eight specific carbohydrates (saccharides) represent the key
to cellular communication as these sugars combine with proteins
to create the glycoprotein chemical messengers. Only two of
the eight are commonly found in our typical modern diets:
glucose and galactose.
The other sugars are Mannose, Fucose,
Xylose, N-Acetylglucosamine, N-Acetylgalactosamine, and N-Acetylneuraminic
acid. The body has the potential to convert glucose
and galactose to the other six through enzyme exchanges but
the conversion process requires considerable energy and is
susceptible to interference from disease processes, medications
and free radicals. Oxidative damage from free radicals can
also cause destruction of existing glycoprotein structures,
making it necessary to convert some sugars into others to
repair the damage. Living in our current environment, our
bodies simply cannot keep up with this conversion/repair process.
Further validation of the essential nature of these carbohydrates
can be found in an article about the immune-enhancing benefits
of breastfeeding.7 Five of the eight carbohydrates thought
to be essential for cell-to-cell communication are ingredients
in human breast milk and also in the glyconutrients
Molasses,
Garlic and Aloe Vera can be used to supplement the additional
sugars required.
