"Scientists have recently discovered that our modern diet is missing some very vital nutrients, and surprisingly enough, these missing nutrients are sugars. After years of research, author Rita Elkins has come to the conclusion that the lack of these invaluable sugars in our diet is a major reason for most of today's diseases; even cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome."

Did you know that there are actually sugars that can bring healing to your body? I can promise you that they really work, because I have seen so many improvements in my own health since I started using supplements that contain glyconutrients. I have seen positive changes in my immune system, my intestinal system, my energy level, my physical strength and my cholesterol has dropped from 270 to 181. I would encourage you to look into this most important new breakthrough in the world of health.

I would have never discovered the importance of this if I had not struggled with cancer myself. In the fall of 2005, I discovered I had breast cancer. This was a total surprise to me - it wasn't in my family history and I didn't feel sick. But it was at that time that I realized that I needed to take care of my health immediately. As I began researching into the area of health, I found out that I wasn't getting all the nutrients in the food I was eating - that even a healthy diet needed something more. I would have never known all that I was missing from our modern diet. (And I had thought I was eating fairly healthy.) There is so much more to our body than we realize.

I did not know the serious effect I was experiencing in my immune system due to stress, toxins, and poor nutrition in our diet. Our immune system is so important to keep us from disease. I got cancer because my immune system was broken down without me even realizing it. Yes, I was tired but I never realized how serious my condition really was until all of a sudden, one day I discovered I had cancer. Cancer is now the 2nd highest cause of death, and it used to be the 10th. But we can do something about it now! We can bring our immune systems into balance and health through the use of glyconutrients.

What are we to do? When going through breast cancer, I found out about Mannatech and began taking the product. I continued following the advice of my physician and I began eating a lot healthier. My cancer doctor told me I needed to have at least nine fruits and vegetables a day in my diet for optimal health! That is not always easy to achieve on your own. One thing that really has helped me is taking the Mannatech products because they give me what I can't get in my normal diet. I try my best to eat right but I also take Mannatech.

Do you take a multi-vitamin now? Do you know if it is natural or synthetic? Did you know that if you are taking Calcium in the form of Calcium carbonate (crushed limestone treated with acid), that if you are taking 1200 mg of this, your body is getting 48 mg? We do not absorb rocks well. Mannatech is the only company with a 100% plant based vitamin and mineral supplement. Our bodies absorb plants but not rocks. So if you already know the value of taking a multi-vitamin, make sure you are getting some value from it.

Do you know the FDA now recommends we get twelve servings of fruits and vegetables a day? Do you get that? It is important for our anti-oxidant levels. The Mannatech product provides twice this level.

Do you know how important regulation of our cells is for optimal health? In countries where people live to be 140 and look like they are 60, they get 50-80 mg of phyto sterols in their diet. We get 3-5 mg. Do you know there are over 80 autoimmune diseases now when 25 years ago there were only four? This is caused when our body's immune system is not communicating properly and the body is attacking itself. Proper cell communication comes from glyconutrients. Did you know there are eight of them and we get only two on a regular basis in our diets?

I would have never realized all of this before, but because I was faced with a life threatening disease, I saw how important it was for me to take care of my health now. Our body is God's temple. It is a serious thing to not take care of it. Many are sick because they have failed in this area. But for most of us, it is not too late. I encourage you to take care of your body for the glory of God.

"Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received (as a Gift) from God? You are not your own. You were bought with a price (purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own). So, then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body." (I Corinthians 6:19-20, Amplified)
