All About Carbs That Protect Your Health

Have you ever lost someone close to you or watched helplessly as someone you care about has suffered from an illness or disease? It's a desperate feeling. All too often you find yourself wishing you'd spent more time with them or were much more proactive in ensuring their health. By then it's too late. We hope you haven't had to deal with this, but we’re sure you have or know someone close to you who has. Think about your loved ones. How much would it be worth to you if you could help protect their health and increase their longevity?

There is an iceberg ahead.

Disease is like an iceberg - by the time you notice it, it might be too late to make a correction or to survive its impact. Typically, there is a whole lot more going on under the surface than is showing. Avoiding the disease iceberg takes planning, a well-charted course - if you want good health. A prevention and repair strategy will help you avoid a lot of pain and suffering, not to mention the vast amounts of money you can spend with today's healthcare system.

Maybe you think you “feel” healthy, 95% of all people will die of heart disease, cancer or diabetes. Think about your loved ones. How much would it be worth to you if you could help protect their health and increase their longevity?

It is time to take action.

The scientific and research communities are screaming the alerts: chronic illness is skyrocketing; foods lack key nutrients; the environment is more toxic than ever.

Our immune systems are getting weaker each year, and our healthcare system has become a sickcare system.

“Everything man needs to sustain health can be found in nature. It is the job of science to find them.”
- Paracelsus, the father of Pharmacology

Do you know how to shelter your loved ones from illness or disease?

Feeling good can be an illusion. Don't be mistaken that good health is present when there is an absence of pain or symptoms. Symptoms are the last and final stage of a breakdown that has been in process for years or decades. Just because you don't feel bad doesn't mean that you are disease-free. It's a common mistake - an iceberg of Titanic proportion!

Here's the good news.

You don't have watch or wait in vain anymore. Science has at last found nature's answer to disease and premature aging. In fact, it's become one of the fastest growing segments of biotechnology today.

The answer lies in how the cells communicate with each other. Researchers in Australia, Japan, United Kingdom, Europe, Canada and the U.S. are discovering that many diseases are caused by a breakdown in cell to cell communication. The discovery of how cells talk to each other is very recent (this is why your doctor probably doesn't know about it) and it is spawning massive interest in research circles.

The implications are enormous!

In fact, here is what Acta Anatomica, the International Journal of Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology said in its first issue of 1998 (Acta 161;1-4:1998). "Many of 'the secrets of glycosciences are only accessible to a closed circle of aficionados', who appear to be the only ones to understand the 'meaningful words of a sweet language of life...its biological significance has long been underestimated. The last decade has witnessed the rapid emergence of the concept of the sugar code of biological information: Indeed, monosaccharides represent an alphabet of biological information...but, with unsurpassed coding capacity."

What does this mean in plain English?

Scientists have figured out how cells in our body communicate the letters and words or the language of the cell. In the following sentence just a few letters are missing, yet see how scrambled the message becomes. Think of it in this way . . . imagine if you received a certified letter in the mail and when you opened it up you found a single sheet saying: OU O-O AU A IE A E O I IIO OA!

My guess is that the above message wouldn't mean much to you at all. Obviously, someone is not communicating properly (actually all the consonants have been taken away). It's highly likely you might throw the letter away thinking it was some sort of joke. But what if the consonants were in place? Then the letter would read like this: YOUR LONG-LOST AUNT HAS DIED AND LEFT YOU THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS!

Quite a different message, don't you think? This is what happens in the body when there is poor communication. With a cellular phone it's called static. In your body it's called biological aging and disease. The result: you develop cancers, heart disease, diabetes and a host of other diseases. It has only been recently that this "sweet language of life" has begun to break down. Today, 95% of all people will die from heart disease, diabetes and cancer. One hundred years ago, only 5% of people died from these diseases. These statistics are kind of scary when you stop to think about it. It gets even worse when you see how autoimmune disorders are skyrocketing at alarming rates. I don't know about you, but I never used to hear about diseases like chronic fatigue, fibromalyagia, asthma, and MS. Unfortunately, they are all too common today.

Unlocking the "sweet language of life."

You probably know the raw materials (food nutrients) that used to be present in our diets are very lacking today. Many scientists refer to this as the "empty harvest." Our fruits and vegetables are picked green, packed green and then gassed up in a chamber so they look ripe. When in reality they are lacking essential nutrients. A good example is the world of difference between a store bought tomato and a home grown tomato. Think about its texture, the way it tastes and its nutrients. The result over time is catastrophic. Our bodies are working harder than ever to combat viruses, bacteria and disease. Even though your body has an innate ability to heal itself, without the proper combination (food nutrients) to unlock the healing power of the body, the war will be lost.

It's a terrible price to pay.

This is a frightening realization. We urge you not to be complacent, but to take responsibility for your own health and the health of your family. Only you can protect them! Your doctor is too busy. In many cases, it has become ridiculous. It is all too common for today's doctors to be overworked and underpaid. Our healthcare system has made treating people a numbers game, the compassion is gone. Doctors must see X number of patients a day to make the system work. They only have enough time to look for symptoms and treat them as opposed to looking for the root of the problem. You know what I'm talking about. Very few doctors spend the time with you that they used to, and they don't like this any better than you do.

The silent killers in your body.

Dr. Steve Nugent, the past president of the American Naturopathic Medical Association, reported recently that "in the typical American home there are more toxins inside the home than outside the home! Your cells actually contain over 400 new toxins that didn't even exist 45 years ago and we are losing the battle against toxins!" It's a fact. There are increasing amounts of toxins and chemical agents in the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe - they all contribute to the breakdown in cellular communication and disease. The modern diet in the US is full of junk food, processed foods, high levels of unhealthy carb's (bad sugars) and additives, all of which interfere with our cells' ability to communicate. Add on top of this the stress of our high-paced lifestyle, and it's no wonder our bodies are breaking down. And as for our children, disease has never been higher.

So what do you do?

If you want your family to be healthy, and protected, you must be proactive about their health! You can eliminate this unnecessary suffering if you take action now.
It was said centuries ago...

"Let your food be your medicine, let your medicine be your food." -Hippocrates

It's not practical for most people to completely reinvent the way they live their lives, but there is a way to put these raw materials back in your body. The results in anecdotal testimonies and in clinical studies have been nothing short of spectacular or even miraculous! If these remarkable compounds were a drug, you would have heard about them by now. But they are a safe, natural, nontoxic food substance. Pharmaceutical companies, can't profit as well from natural products so they don't market them. Today, less than 1% of the US population has heard of this breakthrough. But that hasn't stopped over 600,000 people from benefiting. Right now there is a race among leading drug companies to create a synthetic form of this substance.

What's next?

Historically, there are only two ways to get an important message out to people. One is to spend massive amounts of money (the drug company approach) and be forced to compromise our message to make it marketing savvy, and the second is to generate a grassroots movement, the person to person approach if you will, where results speak for themselves. That is what we are doing with the Natural health Association and we welcome you to join us in this endeavor!

Your first step is to become more educated on nutrition and health. Next, learn about the technologies that are changing traditional healthcare as you know it today. This will be a major step forward in helping you solve the health challenges of you and your loved ones. It will help you in protecting your family's health.

What do the Doctor's think?

"The biggest revolutionary change in the war against disease is represented by glyconutrients. If you do not want to become a patient (and therefore a statistic) you need to answer in your own mind and heart if what you are doing for your health is optimal, and if not what else can you do." - Michael D. Schlachter, MD Board Certified Internal Medicine and Pulmonary Disease Clinical Instructor

"I really believe that glyconutrients are something that will become mandatory for overall health, and the reason I have come to these conclusions is because I have spent the past several months doing what I call research on the research. And when I would do searches on glyconutrients, and especially a lot of different disease processes, I was floored by the number of quality studies that are out there that have shown such benefit and promise in a myriad of diseases ranging from diabetes to arthritis." - Rob Ortmann, MD, Immunologist and Research Scientist
