Phytochemicals in Fruits: Keys to Cellular Communication

Dr. Mondoa suggests a comparison between protein and saccharide messages:

• Two identical amino acids (building blocks of protein) can combine to form one biochemical message; 2=1



• Two identical monosaccharides can form eleven message molecules; 2=11



• Four different amino acids can form 24 distinct molecules; 4=24



• Four different saccharides can combine into 35,560 distinct molecules called tetrasaccharides; 4=35,600!

Scientists now understand that each of these 35,600 tetrasaccharides can be called a letter in the language of cellular communication.

Glycoproteins make cells "talk"

As cells touch, they "talk" to each other by means of the glycoproteins on each cell. In this way alien cells (bacteria, viruses, and allergens) are identified. Without this vital "early-warning" communication, the immune system cannot function properly.




Cells cannot "talk" to each other without glycoproteins (sugar and protein combined).

Cell Miscommunication

If our bodies are deprived of the correct raw material needed to form the cell-to-cell communication language, miscommunication occurs. By giving our bodies straw instead of bricks, we may be allowing our structure to be vulnerable to the strong winds of illness!

Disease may simply be the result of wrong messages sent, or a warning that should have gone out to the immune system but didn't.

What happens if our bodies receive only artificial, man-made sugars?

Will cellular language be corrupted? Will incorrect messages be sent? What if our bodies need the essential saccharides xylose or mannose for a particular message and our diet lacks these sugars?

Young Living's Ningxia wolfberry polysaccharides are composed of the essential sugars glucose, galactose, mannose, and xylose, as well as two other valuable saccharides, arabinose and rhamnose. And amazingly, the powerful Ningxia wolfberry is also packed with protein: Glycoproteins
