Aloe vera

Glyconutrients.

After doing a google search for a different MS topic I found a site that I had seen many years ago, but I blew it off because it was "just" some sort of supplements, at that time I did not believe that would truly help.  Well, I have changed my tune after reviewing the information.  I've seen that some people believe that this therapy is a sugar pill...not correct.  They are 8 essential sugars that are needed for the body's cells to communicate with each and every cell.  I had heard about this treatment about 10 years ago and blew it off, but now at age 43, I'm ready to listen.  It is really pretty fascinating, and there is actual science behind this treatment.  I will supply some links here, you draw your own conclusions.  I will be starting this treatment in the next couple days, when my products arrive.  You will be asked to become an associate, but that is just for you to order your own personal products at wholesale prices.  I don't have the time or energy or interest in selling these products, I just want to get them as cheaply as possible.  The product with the 8 essential sugars is by Mannatech and has a patent on it, it is called Advanced Ambrotose and it is a bit expensive, but I want to find out if this will work, giving me back my energy is my most important thing, if it does that it will be well worth the price.  Follow along on my journey to find out, it could be months?? Only time will tell. This therapy is somewhat like other therapies I have tried where you may feel worse before you start feeling better, I'm kinda used to that feeling.  I will be so excited to get started.  As with the other therapies I have listed on this site, I will be keeping an online diary of my experience.  Thanks for stopping by ~ Lisa

I stopped the Glycos for several months because of the price, but started back on the Glyconutrients on September 7th, only this time with a less expensive alternative to Ambrotose, and also no filers and no MLM!!!  If you would like to check it out yourself this is the link.  http://www.glycomannan.com/

10-03-06    I have not noticed any stand out changes, I slept really good for about 6 days in a row, I still need to take melatonin and one prescription, Amitryptiline 50mg. Only time will tell!zzzzz

10-11-06    I had not experienced any form of good sleep since I stated above, so with the doctors help I am now taking 50mg of Amitriptyline at bed time and when I make up to go to the bathroom which I always do. Last night was the first night I tried that, it worked excellent, I will keep that up...I like sleep!!!

Here are links to less expensive alternatives that I have switched to as of 11-17-05, I cannot afford the Mannatech products anymore. I am now drinking Aloe Vera juice, which the information I have found is a rich source of the Glyconutrients.  Here are some links with information about aloe and these nutrients.

www.aloeverafarms.com/id2.html  This is where I will be purchasing from after I use up the Swanson Aloe Vera. They make a special Aloe Vera juice that helped a customer of theirs with RA. I have MS, but since they are both autoimmune diseases, I thought I'd give that a try.  Who knows, maybe it will help me?

www.innvista.com/health/nutrition/essensug/diction.htm  This is informational.

www.burnoutsolutions.com.au/glyconutrients.htm  Making your own powder mix.

www.swansonvitamins.com  This is the first stuff I used, very economical!

www.dbsxpress.com  I found this book very helpful, good information on how the "Glycos" work and for what maladies.

www.dbsxpress.com/product/  This is a great little booklet with examples of how the Glyconutrients cured several different maladies, even a man with MS who was wheelchair bound and recovered after taking these supplements. This book steers more toward Mannatech products.

08-24-05    I have read some pretty great things that have happened with some MS patients, I sure hope that this therapy will restore my balance and give me more energy, but that remains to be seen.  My balance is not so good, it got a little better when I used antibiotic therapy, after that therapy I did not need the walls and furniture to get around the house.  I still  cannot stand with my feet together, close my eyes and remain standing, I have to open my eyes so I do not fall over.  I will be interested to see just what this treatment will do, I think it will restore some things, but I'll have to wait it out to see what that will be.  Bring it on! Cya~ Lisa

08-25-05    Today is the day! I am taking the following twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening; An hour before breakfast, 2 Mannacleanse (which I mistakenly did not order, duh!) with 8 oz. water.  Right before breakfast 2 Glycentials, 1 Plus, and 1 Ambrotose AO.  Right after breakfast 2 scoops of Advanced Ambrotse mixed with juice. In the evening right before dinner, I will take 2 Glycentials. 2 Plus and 1 Ambrotose AO.  Right after dinner I will take 2 scoops of Advanced Ambrotose with juice. Right before bed I would take 2 Mannacleanse with 8 oz. of water. (Again, I forgot to order this.) I am so excited to be starting this therapy.  I am also stopping using the LDN, so that I know any changes happening are due to this new treatment.  Here is some other info; Cya!

THE GOOD SUGARS:

Fucose: This saccharide is not readily available in food. However, it is abundant in breast milk and plays a vital role in developing a healthy immune response in infants. It is also found in medicinal mushrooms such as maitake.

Galactose: This sugar is commonly found in most diets, with its primary sources being dairy foods (converted from milk sugar, called lactose).

Mannose: This is another powerful health-promoting glyconutrient. It is vital to proper cellular function and can positively affect the body's immune response to pathogens. Research also suggests mannose may have anti-inflammatory and blood sugar-lowering capabilities.

Xylose: Not available in most diets, xylose is commonly used to help sweeten sugarless gum. It is interesting to note that although it has a sweet taste, it does not adversely affect the enamel of the tooth. Like other essential saccharides, xylose helps fights microbial invaders such as fungus and bacteria and may also fight cancer. It has been featured in allergy nasal spray products due to its ability to discourage the binding of allergens to mucous membranes.

N-acetyl-galactosamine: Not readily available in our diet, this essential sugar plays an important role in promoting proper function of and communication between cells. There is mounting evidence that it can help fight the growth of some cancers.

N-acetyl-glucosamine: This glyconutrient can be very helpful for the proper maintenance of joints, and can reverse (or prevent) cartilage and joint damage/inflammation. The popular supplement glucosamine, which is now widely recognized for its abilities to fight arthritic conditions, is derived from n-acetyl-glucosamine.

N-acetyl-neuramic acid: Like other essential saccharides, this is also abundantly found in breast milk and can have a significantly healthy effect on the immune and nervous systems of infants.

Arabinogalactan: This sugar has demonstrated a wide variety of health-promoting effects, including the ability to fight specific cancers, hepatitis B and C, chronic fatigue and infections.

See our order page for instructions on how to obtain these vital biologically active sugars in a patented protected supplement.

WHAT DOES EACH OF THESE PRODUCTS DO?

1.    AMBROTOSE POWDER: Provides cell-to-cell communication for the body. Enables the basic operating system of the body to function at maximum efficiency (The absolute #1 most essential of all the products for healing).

2.    MANNACLEANSE: Extremely necessary to cleanse the colon gently, in order to get rid of toxins trapped there for years. Many cancers begin in the colon. Make sure you drink lots of water with this product, otherwise the liver gets overworked and there is a chance that you will become constipated.

3.    AMBROTOSE AO stands for Anti Oxidant, strongest antioxidant formula in the industry (equivalent to 8-9 servings of green leafy vegetables)

4.    Glycentials: the body needs an absorbable form of vitamins and minerals to function properly. Contains Glyconutrients

5.      Plus: A well-functioning endocrine system works in harmony with the body's immune system, helps support the efficient metabolism of fat, and supports natural recovery from physical or emotional stress

 Purchase from a good health food store high quality Cod Liver Oil gel caps to get omega 3 essential fatty acids.

REMEMBER! Glyconutrients do not work like aspirin!  They must be taken every day in sufficient quantity AND for a long enough time.  AND, remember, they work almost imperceptibly, gradually and quietly. We are trying to saturate every cell in you body (called GLYCOSYLATION) and that takes time. We are not trying to treat the SYMPTOMS, we are trying to get at the root cause here.

08-27-05    It of course too early for me to have noticed any differences, but it is reminding me to make a list here for me to remember what my symptoms are. The bottoms of both of my feet are slightly numb, for about 20 years. I can feel a pin prick and cold and heat, but they are slightly numb.  My buttocks and entire back are also slightly numb for the same amount of time, this happened with my first really bad MS attack that landed me in the hospital for ACTH IV treatment, the steroids did help me recover, but I was left with this residual numbness, I was 22 at that time.  I remember sitting on a chair and falling off because I couldn't feel that my butt was falling off!  My fingers are also slightly numb, sometimes if I'm holding a piece of paper I will end up dropping it if I'm not paying attention.  At the moment my left side arm & leg are leg are still a bit weak, from my recent and new exacerbation. That will just take time to get better, I am hoping that this new treatment with Glyconutrients will heal that new lesion, we will see!  I also have urinary hesitancy and bowel urgency also due to that episode when I was 22,  I have noticed the bowel urgency had been slowly getting better after using the antibiotic therapy, but I still have a ways to go. That is it for my current symptoms. Cya!

09-01-05    OOOOPS!!!  I forgot to pay my website provider bill!!!  Sorry, bout that! I am still using my Glyconutrients, haven't noticed anything major yet, but then again, I'm not expecting anything to change quite yet...only time will tell.  As with some of the other therapies I have tried over the years, I must be patient, I'm getting pretty good at that! Cya!

09-10-05    I have been overdoing it a bit, my legs feel pretty weak, but better than yesterday. I am going to order more advanced Ambrotose & Mannacleanse today.  I don't have the funding to order the vitamin & minerals that are suggested, I will stick to the vitamins I have on hand.  The Ambrotose is the most important factor, it includes the 8 essential sugars, so your body can communicate with all of the other cells in your body and start the healing process.  The Mannacleanse will clean you out, another import factor for healing.  It gets out all the nasty things stuck in the intestines, I'm sure I have plenty of that.  Cya!

09-23-05   I'm still waiting for my corrected Mannatech order, it was ordered on 09-12-05, it should be here...a bit frustrated!  I did have the foresight to place a small order of Advanced Ambrotose, because I had a feeling it would not be here this week.  I'm glad I did!  The orders are sent by  UPS, which I have never had any problems with, with other orders from different companies.  Maybe a fluke, I sure hope so because I intend on staying on this therapy.  I have not noticed any absolute changes with my MS symptoms, but I have not been using this treatment for very long.  Stay tuned.....

10-01-05   My order has been  rectified. I don't think it has been long enough for me to feel any obvious changes...maybe energy?? Only time will tell. ~Cya

10-06-05   I'm not sure if this is a sign that I am having a positive reaction to the Advanced Ambrotose, but I have been quite tired lately, no gumption.  But today, I am very perky, attempting vacuuming and actually ordering products to winterize my home, kits for the windows, etc.  I have lived here with my son the past 4 years, and I have never even attempted it...too tiring to even think about.  I know it is not much, but to me, I think it is great.  I know with the other therapies I have tried, antibiotics for one, I would notice really subtle changes for instance realizing I was not hanging onto the walls & furniture.  Then it would hit me that my balance was better.  I'm not sure, but hopefully I will begin to notice more energy, like today. When the products arrive, we will see how the gumption is to actually put the stuff on my windows....we will see soon enough. ~Cya next time!

10-15-05   I'm feeling pretty good today, I slept well.  I have to go out today and buy a phone, mine has died.  This is going to be a major cleaning weekend, so that we can winterize the house. We'll see how my energy holds up. ~Cya

11-18-05  This week so far has been a crappy week for sleep. Too many things on my mind I guess.  AJ turns 18 tomorrow! Wow, it seems like he was just a baby....not anymore. He is 6 feet tall, plays the bass in a band, and will go to a community college in the fall, I'm so proud of him!!! The day after Thanksgiving is the 30th annual Turkey Bowl for MS. I can hardly believe I've had this crappy disease for so long! But, I can't complain too much, I know so many people with MS who are in much worse shape than I.  I know I am blessed, I have a great family!!! I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!! ~ Lisa

12-05-05   I switched to drinking Aloe Vera juice pain formula from www.Aloeverafarms.com .  I decided to switch after reading the story attached with this aloe juice that Aloe farms started making for this woman with RA.  I may not have RA, but since it is an autoimmune disease, as is MS I thought what the heck, I'll give this a try.  I also decided to make the switch when I started reading that aloe has all 8 of the Glyconutrients in it and the aloe is much less expensive.  Gotta do what ya gotta do.  

I have been feeling extremely energetic lately.  I noticed it most since this past Friday December 2nd when I brought my 97 year old Grandma some breakfast, which I will continue to do from now on.  My mom and cousin Nan have primarily been bringing her the meals, but Nan needed a break after my mom has been out of commission since she broke her wrist on Nov30th.  I finally felt I had enough energy to do this since my last nasty exacerbation in July, it has taken me nearly 6 months to recover enough to help them out!  I feel very energetic still, I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop...but so far so good. Cya~

01-02-06  Happy New Year! Over Christmas, especially Christmas eve, I over did it and my left leg was quite weak, silly me. I am all better now, at least back to where I was before I over did it.  I have to remember I that am not cured, I hope I will be after a couple years or so...only time will tell.  I will just keep drinking my aloe juice (pain formula), and not over do it.  -Lisa

01-10-06  So far so good, nothing new, but nothing bad either, I'll take that!!! We just need to remember that this treatment does not happen overnight, we must be patient and at this point I have not heard of anyone being cured of MS by drinking aloe vera....but I still believe in the Glyconutrients and I have heard of other MS patients having varying degrees of success. I believe and I will wait for my day! Cya!

01-31-06  Nothing terrifically new at the moment, I guess no news is good news!  Cya!
