In February of 2003, an article about stem cells was published in Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA). A team of researchers at Johns Hopkins Medical Center reported, for first time, that undifferentiated donor stem cells were able to cross blood brain barrier and morph themselves into neuronal cells.

This was an especially important finding because, of all cells in body, neuron cells are most advanced and complicated. This is significant because it means that if stem cells can morph themselves into brain neurons, then, chances are they can transform themselves into other types of cells too.

In a separate but related area of science, there is a growing body of evidence that a specialized area of nutrition called “glyconutrition” is causing body to manufacture its own stem cells from its own bone marrow. This research is being overseen by Dr. Reg McDaniel M.D. at Fischer Institute.

Until JAMA article came out, Dr. McDaniel’s team were in quite a quandary as to how people with varying neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Children’s Cerebral Palsy, Down’s Syndrome, and Autism, were all experiencing increases in brain function when glyconutrients and other micronutrients were added to their diets.

After initial discovery that stem cells stimulated growth of neuron cells, researchers wanted to know if these newly created neuron cells worked correctly. To do this, they turned their attention to children in comas. One was a boy who had been in a coma for three years. Glyconutrients were added to his feeding tube and within five days his doctor started seeing changes in his brain function.

So what’s up with all of that when you get sick? Why is it healthy one day and sick next? Is your body trying to tell you it’s low on pharmaceutical drugs? Or it is saying, “Look what happens, when you’re feeding me nothing but junk food.”

In my opinion, if a person incorporates a certain amount of a new type of supplement called “glyconutrients” into their diet, they can still eat junk food - well, every now and then - and still be healthier than most people.

Let me backtrack a little. You may not know it, but there’s a very fast growing, new area of science called glycobiology. The “glyco” part of name means “sweet.” In a nutshell, glycobiology has to do with how cells communicate with each other. Scientists have uncovered 8 highly specific sugar molecules or saccharides that are vital for correct, disease-free functioning of your cells.

Now, this is very cutting edge stuff, and most doctors in U.S. don’t have any idea it’s even on horizon. So right now, you probably know more about glyconutrition than your doctor does.

Anyway, thing to remember about glyconutrition is that it allows for crystal clear cell-to-cell communication and this is most vital, important function of glyconutrients.
