Summary of talk

•	What are glyconutrients?
•	Why do we need them and what role do they play in the body?
•	How much do we need?
•	How long do we need to take them?

We will look briefly at what is happening in the environment, the huge increase in our body’s toxic load, nutrient deficiencies in our food and how this is affecting health and wellbeing.

We will also discuss the importance of health at a cellular level, the four principle needs of our cells in order for them to function correctly (healthy cells = healthy structure = healthy organs = healthy us!) and how we can support these needs.

Science has shown these principles need to be:

•	Correct cell-to-cell communication – support with glyconutrients. Without this the immune system cannot function properly;
•	Cell regulation – support with phytosterols. For the endocrine and hormonal system;
•	Cell nourishment – support with food matrix vitamins and minerals. Vital co-factors for all of the above to take place;
•	Cell protection – support with anti-oxidants. Free radicals are responsible for premature ageing and disease.

We will also talk about Mannatech, who are the world leader in glyconutrition. Also underline the importance of quality assurance and good manufacturing practices in the production of nutritional supplements and information on research and development in this field.

For the last year, I have been co-hosting talks on glyconutrients and the other vital nutrients, with Yvonne Stone, a homeopath who teaches at the London School of Classical Homeopathy helping practitioners use this knowledge in their practices.

Having previously suffered severe fatigue, almost house bound for over a year and seen such a radical improvement in my immune function and general health as a direct result of taking glyconutrients and other nutrients, I feel compelled to share this information. The science is so new it is still only touched on at most colleges. (Described by MIT as one of the ten emerging technologies that will change the world).

The talk raises awareness, and it’s a good time for any questions to be answered.
