Hi. My story is quite lengthy and I have several posts under liver cancer, supplements and probably some other subjects under the name kimgee. In 2002, I was diagnosed with a large pancreatic tumor that needed to be removed. Surgery was done, tumor had spread to liver, tumors were burned off liver, but was told they would recur because of the liver regenerating. I also accidentally had a hole burned in my esophagus from tumors being burned off the liver. Prognosis was not very good for the cancer or the esophagael problems. I prayed for an answer and Ambrotose showed up at my door two days later by a dietician friend of mine. Began taking it in fall of 2002. I was told it would make me healthier by supplying my cells with nutrients that we no longer get in our modern day diet and strengthen my immune system. I was told that many people with cancer had had great results with the supplement. My husband and I spent weeks researching the supplement, the company, as well as all types of nutrition information regarding cancer. (I believe that all of the chemicals and preservatives in our food and environment have caused our cells to work inefficiently, thus keeping our bodies working properly.) I noticed increased energy in a matter of weeks, and after 2 months, I felt better than I've felt since I was a teenager. (I'm 41) My liver tumors began recurring, and I had several procedures done to remove them, but they kept coming back. After being cancer-free everywhere else, I convinced my doctors (after months of begging) to be considered for liver transplantation. I finally convinced the doctors that I was a good candidate, was tested and approved, and had a liver transplant in 2005. Had complications with esophagus, deadly virus, a ruptured colon from a feeding tube, and almost died twice while being in the hospital for 2 1/2 months. I was taking Ambrotose from 2002 - 2005, up until I went into the hospital, even though my doctors told me not to because they didn't really know what it was. When they did the transplant, they said the old liver showed evidence that my body was fighting the cancer, because the tumors were being walled off. As soon as I was home, I went back on a full-line of the Mannatech products and have been doing great ever since. I'm on very low doses of anti-rejection medicine, never had chemo, esophagus is healed, my monthly labs are spectacular and last CT was clean. I have everyone in my family on Mannatech products including my kids. My aunt was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma last year and was very sick. I got her started on large doses of Ambrotose, and she called me last Wed. and said her recent tests were all clear, blood work was perfectly normal, and her bone lesions were gone. She feels great! A lot of naysayers will say the product is worthless and doctors don't support it (unless they've had personal experience with it or have had training in alternative therapy), but most people who have used it have gotten miraculous benefits from it. It's been a miracle for me and my family. Some people are not open to the supplements because of the cost and because Mannatech only sells them through distributors or online. (They are the only company that has a patent on the products and they sell worldwide.) I don't push the product on people, but I feel like I have to share what I've learned and what has worked for me in hopes of it helping others like it has me. If you need more info, please feel free to ask. You can get more info on glycoscience.org. I hope this helps your friend. It seems to work especially well on young people.
