Sandy also had a positive health reversal. She was in a lot of pain from neck surgery she'd had seven years earlier. She also decided to try glyconutrients. It took a little longer for her, but her pain subsided and surgery was avoided. My point in telling you these two stories is that we saved a ton of money and who knows how much pain and suffering by not having to undergo surgery. I don't know if my atrial fibrillation would have led to a worsening condition requiring surgery, but I do know that Sandy was considering a second neck surgery before we heard about glyconutrients.

Since then, we've learned a lot more about science behind glyconutrients and why this new category of nutrient is turning around so many health conditions for so many people.

Even highly trained medical doctors and surgeons are taking notice. Case in point: Dr. Ben Carson is department head of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. A severe form of prostate cancer led him to discover glyconutrients. Long story short: he attributes to them his complete recovery. He now recommends glyconutrients to all his patients, to his staff and others as well.

Without going into a lot of complicated detail, science now has a pretty good idea about why glyconutrients seem to be helping so many different kinds of health conditions. The bottom line is this: enhanced cell-to-cell communication.

Glyconutrients provide body with highly specialized building blocks that body transforms into communication molecules that all cells use. Without an adequate supply of these molecules, communication starts to break down and illness starts to creep in.

The reason glyconutritional supplements are so effective is this: our diets suck. Let me explain. If we got all nutrients we needed in our diet, we'd rarely get ill. By way, scientific evidence to support that statement is huge.

But because 90 percent of food we eat is processed (devoid of essential, health-promoting nutrients) and for a number of other reasons, we're not getting nutritional build blocks our bodies need in order to stay disease-free.

Bottom line: understand powerful relativity between nutrients we consume and state of our health.

So to reiterate - there are options for warding off illness and medically related bankruptcy. Just don't look for them in current medical - pharmaceutical - health insurance paradigm. Look for them in emerging science of glycobiology - same science that's starting to describe cellular mechanisms behind major health recoveries that thousands of glyconutrient users are now reporting.

The key components you must look for in a supplement are vitamins B6, B12, D, E and folic acid. Aside from being dietary supplements, these so-called B vitamins have been known to help combat certain types of cancer and heart ailments. While there remains no hard-lined link between cancer and a daily intake of B vitamins, studies that suggest their preventive powers have helped raise importance of daily doses of vitamins and minerals into our system.

Standard RDA-level vitamins can easily be bought over counter at a reasonable price. Yes, old belief that a proper diet is enough to keep you going has become a myth. It is time to invest in our health. Whether we admit it or not, we need vitamins. Sure, it does lead to added costs; but when we really think about it, vitamins are probably cheapest type of insurance readily available in market right now. Who are we to say no?
