Valuable information from 'Miracle Sugars' by Rita Elkins M.H.
'Ancient medical practitioners knew what we have to re-learn today- that some plant compounds have a brain. In other words, glyconutrient supplements and other adaptogenic plant compounds can enter the body and act according to need and individual situation. They either stimulate reactions to heal when you are sick, or work in other pathways to prevent illness. Simply stated, they help the body ADAPT to its particular health challenge and environment. To put it another way- they initiate healing rather than just masking symptoms. NO prescription high-tech drug can do that.
Today, hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent by at least fifteen pharmaceutical companies researching the potential of carbohydrate drugs, vaccines, and delivery systems. Recent television commercials are even referring to future drugs that will be delivered directly to the diseased cells, leaving the healthy cells alone. Synthesizing the sugar communication code and coating the drug so it would then seek out only the diseased cells could accomplish this goal which would be an exceptional medical breakthrough. An article in the January 1993 edition of Scientific American states, "The day may not be far off when anti-adhesive drugs, possibly in the form of pills that are both sugar coded and sugar loaded, will be used to prevent and treat infections, inflammation, the consequences of heart attacks, and perhaps even cancer."
.....Remember, however, drugs don't cure diseases. Even with drugs - the body does the healing.'
