Glyconutrients and Leukemia

What is the link between Glyconutrients and Leukemia? One of the most important discoveries in the last 100 years for your immune systems is glyconutrients. Simply put, glyconutrients are plant carbohydrates, (monosaccharides). While there are over 200 different kinds of glyconutrients, only 8 are essential to humans. These are: xylose, fucose, galactose, glucose, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetygalactosamine, and sialic acid.

Some doctors believe that if your body does not properly produce all eight glycoproteins you can become sick with a disease, such as leukemia. These doctors theorize that without proper glyconutrients, bad cells, like leukemia cells, are left to grow and multiply because the cells that would normally kill off the bad cells are confused. Glyconutrients may restore this cellular breakdown in communication, and allow the body to heal and repair itself, not just treat symptoms.

Scientific Proof between Glyconutrients and Leukemia

Scientists at the Tokai University School of Medicine discovered that remission times doubled with the use of glyconutrients in conjunction with chemotherapy. They also learned that patients with leukemia who used glyconutrients and participated in chemotherapy regained weight faster, were less nauseous, and that their red and white blood cell counts returned to normal faster than patients who were not taking glyconutrients.

How can glyconutrients help Leukemia?

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood cells that generally starts in the bone marrow, the soft tissue inside your bones. This is where white blood cells are produced. Normal white blood cells help your body fight infection. Abnormal white blood cells, or leukemia cells, don't do the work of the normal white blood cells. They grow faster than normal, and don't stop growing when they should.

One glyclonutrient, mannose, is reported to assist with tissue remodeling and good cellular communication. It may accelerate the process of healing, and may help in preventing bacterial, viral, parasitic, and fungal infections. Mannose is generally found in the inner leaf of the aloe vera plant.

As with any course of treatment, always consult your physician before starting anything new. You want to check for drug interactions, and possible side effects. There is much research being done to test the effect of glyconutrients in the treatment of leukemia. While there are no guarantees, this exciting field of science looks promising!
