Glyconutrients?

My brother has a grade IV brain tumor (glioblastoma multiforme). It was removed Nov. 2003 and he received radiation and chemo but a recent MRI found that it came back. He will get more surgery and chemo wafers or infusion. He is also interested in suppliments and diet. A friend of his suggested glyconutrients. They are "essential sugars" that come from the Aloe Vera plant. Mannatech corp seems to be the main manufacturer of this product. Every time I read something good about them it is usually followed by ordering information. That is all I know about this product so far.

Does anyone know anything about glyconutrients? Or can anyone offer any other suggestions for diet and supplements. I promised to help him in this aspect of his fight.

Thank you!

My brother has an inoperable high grade brain tumor and has been stable since 7/03. He took RM-10 by Garden of Life USA and still does. My father-in-law was given a few months, he has colon cancer with inoperable mets to the liver. He has been taking RM-10 and is doing exceptionally well. I'll attach some links for you to research. It is very similar to the Mannatech products but much cheaper. RM-10 is glyco nutrients. Other names are 8 miracle sugars, super carbs, etc. All I know is I have 2 family members doing exceptionally well who are taking RM-10 in addition to treatments prescribed by their doctors.

Hi,I'm sorry to hear about your brother's brain tumor and father-in-law's colon cancer. I am a minister and throughout my career I am always dealing with illnesses in varying degrees among the church members. It's never an easy thing for families to go through.

Glyconutrients do seem to work in a variety of ways. They are non-specific, that is, they work generally in a number of areas. I am a Mannatech associate. My wife and I(who had blood clots on her lungs and I have hep c) have responded extremely well. These products, while they work, are not intended to replace a physcian's care.

My website is www.FamilyHealthAlternatives.com and a very good informational site is www.Glycoscience.org

I hope that things go well for you and yours.

MY friend, Dave Eastman, was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma
Multiforme tumor in April, 2004, and told that surgery,
radiation and a very toxic chemotherapy would only extend his
life 12 months, maximum.

Dave took the glyconutrient complex along with that standard
treatment. Three months after diagnosis an MRI showed no
trace of cancer. It was the same at six, nine and 12 months. He
has been very healthy all the way through, verified by excellent
blood work. A doctor commented, "You have a very strong
immune system!" Dave just smiled.

For months Dave has been doing heavy manual work and
loving it! He and his wife, Deborah, are now reaching out to
others with the glyconutrients. I will gladly put anyone in touch
with them.

An excellent resource on this science is the new book, THE
HEALING POWER OF 8 SUGARS (ISBN 0-9737317-0-2, a
symposium by 18 medical experts. It is a 'must read' for
anyone concerned about wellness in general, and cancer in
particular.

I have been reading extensively on glyconutrients and cancer
because a few of my relatives have various forms of brain caner
and I am quite concerned I am at risk. The best resource I have
found is a site called Glyconutrients Reference. The web
address is http://www.glyconutrientsreference.com. There is a
section on medical conditions and a page on cancer and
glyconutrients. Check it out, hopefully you will find it useful.

Hi MannaDad,
Just saw your message about your friend Dave and how well he is doing. You said you could provide a contact for him. I have a co-worker who has undergone surgery this week for an aggressive type of brain cancer. It could be very beneficial to talk to your friend.

Hi Eugene,

My mom was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme 4 about 2 weeks ago. She is only 60 years old and up until now in perfect health. Please send me information in order to get in touch with your friends Dave and Deborah as I would like to get my mother on this nutrional regimen as soon as possible.
Thank you so much,
Dana B.
