Cell to cell communication
This can be described as a network communication protocol or language of biological cellular information similar to amino acids and nucleic acids, but with unsurpassed coding capacity.
Every cell in your body is surrounded by monosaccharides. There are eight that are essential. These monosaccharides can change their configurations or communication messages thousands of times per seconds. Cells actually touch each other in order to communicate. Dysfunction and disease occur when the components necessary for cell to cell communication are absent or are in short supply.
There are different alphabets, languages and forms of communicating. In this context there is also a very unique and very basic communication system called cell-to-cell communication. The reason we are alive (healthy or sick) is that there is a communication process going on within our own bodies.
The cellular communication is much more complex then our alphabet and it uses 8 basic forms in this process. The 1996 discovery gives us a roadmap to that communication and provides the necessary material so our cells can regenerate and “talk.” To construct our alphabet we, human beings, use 4 basic geometrical forms. To construct our cellular alphabet our body is using 8 basic forms called glycosaccharides.
Healthy bodies, comprised of many components working together in sophisticated harmony, must have accurate internal communication to function correctly. In its most basic form, this communication occurs at the cellular level. Molecular biologists refer to it as cell-to-cell communication. To maintain a healthy body, cells must “talk” to other cells. When the language of the cells is garbled so that the message is no longer clear, health problems occur.
Today’s average diet is providing us only with 2 glycosaccharides. That is about 25 percent of what our cells need to construct a recognizable language for proper communication is not present in what we eat, so how can our body stay healthy and/or regain what it has lost?
Inadequate cellular communication means internal confusion, breakdown, and eventually disease and premature death.
Glyconutrients are fast becoming common knowledge to both doctors and the general public. It is expected that in the near future, glyconutrients will become the standard care by medical doctors for all auto-immune diseases. In fact, because of the published scientific data and references in the PDR, Physicians Desk Reference, Doctors can now be held liable for malpractice if they do not use standard care treatment for the appropriate disease.
The bad news is that we are only getting two of the eight monosaccharides (glucose and Galactose) in our modern day diets. More and more researchers and informed doctors have concluded that this deficiency is one of the major contributing factors to our declining immune system function and the corresponding dramatic increase in disease.
If your eight cylinder car had only two cylinders running, how far would it go and how well would it work? It also wouldn’t matter nor help, if you put the highest quality and highest octane gasoline. This comparison is the same for your body. If each of your cells needs 8 monosaccharides to properly run, how well do you think your cells are functioning and communicating with only 2?
If you are concerned about optimal health, it is imperative that you get the other missing six monosaccharides in your diet by way of nutritional supplementation. In the time of our ancestors, their eating habits allowed them to consume all of the 8 essential monosaccharides by eating live plants, naturally healthy animals etc… Since the early 1960’s, we’ve seen nutritional depletion in our food chain that it is now virtually impossible to find 6 of the 8 essential monosaccharides your body needs in the modern diet.
Medical Breakthrough of the Century:
A prestigious prize was awarded for discovering how glyconutrients function as address tags for directing the delivery of proteins to the proper location in cells. This is cell to cell communication. The human body is made up of approximately 600 trillion cells. In order for all those individual cells to work together and function properly in our body so we can be who we are, there has to be a form of communication. On an individual cell basis, the cell needs certain nutrients to function in communicating its needs. These needs are (1) the need to be fed, (2) be repaired, (3) be defended, and (4) be regulated. It is only as these needs are met that the cell can function as it is supposed to function.
Cell-to-cell communication is something that has been known and studied for many years, but is being studied much more extensively now as a whole new frontier in medical research and drug development has opened up. The reason for this increased interest is that cell-to-cell communication affects so many aspect of the human body.
When we look at cell-to-cell communication nutritionally, we find it involves special structures called glycoproteins, the words the cells need for cell- to-cell communication. These glycoproteins are carbohydrates, glyco meaning sugar or carbohydrate and the protein is protein amino acids.
Traditionally in nutrition we have not seen the fulfillment of many promises from products such as, pictoginal, colloidal minerals and many other nutritional supplements. There always seems to be a missing link, the key element which really enables everything in our bodies to work as well as it is supposed to work. Cells are not simply tiny sponges. They don’t soak up everything that goes by just because it goes by. Regardless of what you put in your mouth, and even if it gets into the blood stream, it does not mean that those different nutrients are going to get into the cell where they are needed.
On the outside of every single cell are special molecules that literally regulate what gets into and out of the cell. These molecules are called cell receptors. Compare the different ways people communicate. We can be talking on the telephone in person, could be using a fax, or sending an e-mail. These are different common forms of communication. So, with the body, glycoproteins are used to make different forms of communication available. Some of the glycoproteins or words are the receptor molecules that are on the outside of every cell. Others actually make up hormones, some are hormone receptors, and some are neuro transmitter receptors which provide chemistry in the brain for the signals the brain sends to all parts of the body. The signal from the brain has to be able to get to the intended area of the body. There is a special receptor which is part of the signaling process. The signal passes through one nerve to the next, allowing the signal to be carried from the brain to all the parts of the body.
Immunoglobulins are part of cell-to-cell communication and make up the outside layers of scout cells. These are special parts of the immune system that search out and destroy bacteria, and viruses. Immunoglobulin is used as a special language to detect problems in the body or to find out if everything is going ok.
There are many different aspects of cell-to-cell communication, and all are involved in virtually everything that is going on in the body, including the regulation and nutrition that enters the cells, the repair mechanism, and the defense mechanism. Cellular communication is literally the single most important concept in nutrition a person can understand. When we support cell-to-cell communication we are empowering every single part of the body to work the way it is supposed to. If it isn’t supported, a breakdown of the cell-to-cell communication occurs, resulting in the onset of disease. Until recently, there has not been a single nutritional supplement on the market anywhere in the world that has ever addressed the whole problem of cell-to-cell communication.
In the biochemistry literature, and molecular biology literature in particular, cell-to-cell communication is well understood. However the role of nutrition and the understanding of carbohydrates and their potential have been totally ignored. Even the text books as late as 1997 do not contain this information. The new medical nutrition books refer to carbohydrates exclusively. There is no mention of the information contained in the molecule structure and its purpose in maintaining healthy cells.
Problems that arise from poor cell-to-cell communication:
When messages of cells are miss-communicated, problems arise. Specifically, in the area of glycoprotein structures and the special structures the body uses for cell-to-cell communications, are those built by the body out of a combination of amino acids and eight specific saccharides or sugars. Only two carbohydrates are available in our diet, which means the body has to build the other six.
Here is where a problem becomes evident. In order to build those other six carbohydrates, the body literally has to take in raw materials, break them down, reassemble them as a saccharide sugar in order to form the actual letters to create the words that carry the cell-to-cell communication message. Because the body must manufacture what it lacks, a number of different problems can occur. If the body isn’t getting enough of the specific raw materials it needs, the process of building is delayed. These communication structures are incredibly complex, consume much extra energy, many different enzymes and involve many different steps to create them. They are built literally one stage at a time, one piece at a time by the body.
Defects are another problem which can occur. The DNA genetic code in every single cell in the chromosomes is the blue print from which the individual cells manufacture the different glyco-sugars to make glycoprotein words. If there is a genetic defect the sugar will not be built correctly. When it is not built correctly it has bad structure. With bad structure comes bad function and when there is bad function breakdown occurs. When this breakdown is repeated in many, many cells the tissue is affected and the symptoms of disease become observable. Depending upon which tissues are involved different symptoms or diseases may develop.
Two other problems occur. One is from internal damage within the cell, the other from external damage that creates problems within the cell. Simply put, there are certain factors which cause damage to various structures within the cell. These factors include toxins, the pollutants, chemicals and things like that. Damage may occur at any point, from the DNA blue print itself to the actual assembly factory where these sugars are made, to the raw materials that are available and in some of the enzymes that are there, to the energy producing areas. Anything that is damaged interferes with the building of these particular sugars or glycoproteins. Anything that interferes with the sugars being constructed interferes with some cellular function.
The body constantly is building glycoprotein structures. Some of these communication structures of glycoproteins will last for months at a time. Others last for only ten seconds. This implies that every ten seconds each of these body cells needs to manufacture new ones to replace those that are used up. There is no vacation time. The body works all day long, every day, year in and year out. If it is unable to manufacture either the quantity or quality needed, the result may be the development of a bad genetic code or a bad blue print resulting in further breakdown.
A case in point is the diseases of rheumatoid arthritis. Improperly built Immunoglobulins can end up attacking the body’s own tissues, creating an autoimmune disease. All this starts because something was misspelled. If it is misspelled, the structure is bad, the function is bad.
How much of disease today is a result of poor cell-to-cell communication?
Journal articles from all over the world are beginning to address cell-to-cell communication in reference to common diseases, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, and many other conditions. When we take action to support cell-to-cell communication, we not only make the body much more efficient, but actually help it to prevent some of those diseases from occurring. By not supplying specific nutrients the body needs, structures are built defectively.
How can we keep many of these misspellings from occurring?
There are eight specific saccharide sugars which make up these glycoproteins. Remember, these are special simple sugars, not table sugar. When we refer to the letters of cell-to-cell communication, it is actually the simple sugar part that makes the letters that hook in to these proteins to make glycoproteins. It is because the letters themselves are the element which may cause confusion in this spelling process.
If we can supply the letters already made, (which we now know are the eight specific monosaccharides). It reduces multiple steps the body has to go through in building the glycoproteins or letters. We describe it as letters in our alphabet, or we think about it as a simple A- B-C-D for communication, but these particular letters in a saccharide would be more like an entire crossword puzzle all put together representing one single letter. They are very complex from a chemical standpoint.
If we can supply the body with those complex letters, the body’s own innate ability knows what to do with them, and it knows how to do it far better than we’ll ever be able to understand.
Many different conditions are affected by these building blocks of cell-to-cell communication because of the vast nature of how glycoproteins are used to control every bodily function. Even the connective tissues which hold us together are glycoproteins. So virtually from the saliva in our mouths to the connective tissues of organs, skin and cartilage, to our blood which determines whether we are an A, B or O blood type, all of these different factors can be affected by cell-to-cell, communication. It becomes abundantly clear these glycoproteins are absolutely critical for normal function.

Are these essential sugars missing from your diet?
You can get these eight essential sugars in Ambrotose Complex™ a special patented blend of these nutrients.
What are Essential Carbohydrates?
Essential Carbohydrates are glyconutrients. They consist of eight essential sugars (not anything like table sugar) necessary for the body’s metabolism. They are vital for helping the immune system identify bacterial and viral invaders, vital in repairing damaged cells, critical in maintaining healthy joints and vital in maintaining the health of the mucus linings of the gut and the airways. These essential nutrients are so vital in fact, that Mother Natures includes five of the eight essential carbohydrates in breast milk! It is believed that the science of Glycobiology will produce great advances in medicine this decade. Glyconutrients are present in various foods in nature for the most part are longer part of our modern day diets.
While drug companies are spending billions trying to synthesize these sugars and having a hard time doing it, we have the patents and patents pending on the real and natural sugars.
