Scientists are networking over the emergence of this new technology called
"glycobiology"- the discovery of cellular communication! Books and articles are being published on this life-enhancing technology
everyday!
Take a
look for yourself!
1996 Harper's Biochemistry
24th Edition,
a definitive reference for first year medical students,
is the initial publication that lists the eight known saccharides in human
cell structures. It
details the importance of these newly discovered components for healthy cell
structures, processes, functions, and disease prevention.
Sugars
That Heal; The New Healing Science of Glyconutrients
is a practical introduction to the public as well as to many health
professionals. This books
explains how the eight sugars, known as
saccharides, are the basis of multicellular intelligence- the ability of
cells to communicate, cohere, and work together to keep you healthy and
balanced.
Science
magazine is published by Stanford University for the American Association
for the Advancement of Science. The March issue, 2001 was dedicated to the science behind the discovery and technology of Glycobiology.
"Saving Lives with Sugar" is among several
articles in this specially focused issue of Science. Click on the
Science cover to view the table of contents to this issue.
The cover of the magazine
illustrates the glycoprotein structures. The white bubbles represent linked
sugar chains attached to protein stems on the cell's surface. These glycoforms are like the operating system of your body that transmit messages-
the human "bio-network." The link provided has paragraphs with gathered
links to web resources in organic chemistry, carbohydrate chemistry and
glycobiology:

Acta Anatomica, Vol. 161 , No. 1-4 (1998)
Glycosciences
The highly respected international journal Acta Anatomica devoted and entire
issue of their publication Acta Anatomica Vol.161, No. 1-4, 1998 publication
to the topic of the glycosciences.
Sugar
Rush: New Scientist Archive, "...sugar molecules turn
out to be vital components in life's intricate machinery."
The July issue of
Scientific American
is entitled
Sweet Medicine: Building
Better Drugs from Sugars. "A new generation of drugs will be based on
sugars- a neglected set of molecules."
Pharmaceutical
companies are developing synthetic versions of the active sugars.
Physician's Management
magazine recognized one company as the
clear
leader in the
new field of
Nutraceuticals,
and urged doctors to get involved with the company!
"Do
No Harm," a medical thesis by Dr. Michael Schlachter, speaks out to
physicians worldwide emphasizing why doctors must integrate glyconutrient
technology into their medical practice.
PDR
is without a doubt the most trusted resource for drug
information within the healthcare industry.
PDR
recognized a growing need for a resource of
non-promotional information on over-the-counter medications and dietary
supplements, so the PDR for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements
was created.
Any physician can find
information on glyconutritional products in the Physician's Desk
Reference for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements.

The True Sweet Science:
Researchers
develop a taste for the study of sugars. The article makes known much
of the research currently being done in the new field of glycobiology and
the potential medical benefits!
Pharmacists'
Network Exchange
is owned and operated by North American pharmacists
and provides over-the-telephone or on-line consultation from
pharmacists fully qualified to
answer medical, health, and drug related questions in general, and
specifically in reference to a glyconutritional product line.
