If you have healthy cells you will have healthy tissues; healthy tissues equal healthy organs.   If you have healthy organs you will have healthy body systems; healthy systems equal a healthy body!  Therefore, it’s basic that wellness and disease are cellular issues. If we are in agreement so far, you can learn in more detail, by contacting us, that there are five things that help cells maintain their proper cellular functions:

- Cells must be fed properly
- Cells must be cleansed of toxins
- Cells must be regulated for proper balance
- Cells must be repaired and defended from invasion
- Cells must communicate with each other to maintain, regenerate, and  restore health

You are familiar with some basic and undeniable truths: if the body doesn’t get air, water, and food (in that order), it cannot survive. Sick or healthy, without them we die. Here’s another medical fact you may know: in order to stay healthy, we must have 26 essential vitamins and minerals not 25, all 26. That’s why they’re called ESSENTIAL. One missing vitamin can produce deadly dis-ease.  Scurvy is caused from a deficiency of Vitamin C and it will kill you.  The cure is easy, suck on lemons, limes, oranges!

On the Nutritional front, scientists HAVE PROVEN that, out of the 200+ sugars in nature, there are 8 specific sugars (monosaccharides, glyconutrients) that are vital for optimal cell form,function and wellness. The body only produces minimal amounts, and it has become obvious that the body needs to obtain the optimal amount of these sugars from diet to complete the cellular functions above (cells=tissues= organs= systems=body). Unfortunately, in the modern diet we only get two (2),  six (6) are missing!  Whether or not one has a medical challenge, these monosaccharides must all be present at the cellular level in order for the body to maintain and/or restore health.  If you are missing just ONE of these sugars it is like trying to communicate in the English  language without the vowels.  These 8 biological sugars are directly responsible for correct and rapid cell-to-cell communication!  Does this sound vital to you?

No one is immortal. We’re all going to die. It’s just a question of when and how. With proper cellular health, chances are better that it will be at an old age and in our sleep.

Many will ask, how this relates to cancer, arthritis, ADD, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, MS, Parkinson’s: the list goes on and on. Take another look at first paragraph above: ... it’s basic that wellness and disease are both cellular issues.  A disease label of any kind indicates that there is a cellular problem. Healthy cells manifest as a healthy body.  Cells are not formed correctly without these 8 sugars attached to the cell.  Function follows form, therefore, the cell cannot perform its necessary task without these vital sugars attached.

The issue is not how should we treat sickness, it is how do we build WELLNESS!
