Glyconutrition and Our Immune System
from: By: Dr Robert GambleGlyconutrition and Our Immune System:
"Status Quo"- Latin for the Mess We're In
Dr. Robert Gamble
Cardio-Vascular and Thoracic Surgeon (retired)
Glyconutrition and the immune system "back then".
In the era when our grandparents were toddlers, people "back then" heard little, if anything, about such diseases as cancer, heart disease, Fibromyalgia, Crohn's Disease, Lupus, HIV, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Psoriasis, Multiple Sclerosis...to name a few. Yes, many (not all) of these were known...in research libraries and the medical literature.
Even immune system functions were relatively unknown to most medical authorities. The immune system was not taught as a specific discipline anywhere in the United States at the time. Of course, glyconutrition was known - but under other names.
But, the average person didn't know the names of those diseases because people didn't really have to know. Those diseases were non-issues to the vast majority of Americans.
Even most doctors would spend an entire career and not see more than a case or two of some of these chronic diseases. Ironically, more doctors "back then" knew more about glyconutrition than they do today… but, of course, "glyconutrition" by different names.
Again, interestingly, common folk did know about glyconutrition and its benefits - but, also again, by other names.
That was status quo for the day "back then."
Furthermore, people were accustomed to buying fruits and vegetables...
- grown and harvested locally,
- sold in small neighborhood stores and stands, and
- very much dependent upon seasonal availability.
That too was status quo, "back then."
Glyconutrition and the immune system...
But, most people today have heard of those diseases... Everyone knows someone who has a chronic disease affecting the immune system. Incidentally, that's the issue. "Chronic" (ongoing, continuous) diseases are due to a malfunctioning immune system.
Most of us deal with this issue within our families. We must. One in three people in America have a cancer. One in four have some form of heart disease. One in ... One in...One in...Where will it end?
Better question... why did it begin?
All of these diseases - and hundreds more - are epidemic or pandemic in scope.
On the other hand, almost most doctors know nothing of glyconutrition…
- despite the fact four Nobel Prizes in Medicine have been won on the issue.
- despite the fact M.I.T. has called glycomics (the field of glyconutrition) one of the 10 technologies which will change our world.
- despite the fact glyconutrition is a product listed in the Physicians Desk Reference…the “Bible” of doctors everywhere.
- despite the fact the AMA allows glyconutrition to be taught for CME (continuing medical education) requirements - a first for nutrition, let alone glyconutrition.
Relatively few people have heard of "glyconutrition"... though many today know it by other names.
And, most of us no longer get our fruits and veggies locally…Most are shipped in from distant places. Most of what we eat is not harvested locally. It is transported “from afar.”
Those two subjects - today's chronic disease epidemics and the modern diet - are related…disastrously. Let me explain.
Glyconutrition and the mess we're in...
According to author researcher, Brian Halwell, in his report on the recent study by the Worldwatch Institute in Washington, D.C., it was found that...our food travels 25 percent farther to reach our tables than it did just twenty years ago. In the United Kingdom, food travels 50 percent farther than it did just twenty years ago. (Jessica Gorman, "The Short and Long of the Food Transport Story").
The advantages are economic:
- lower cost of the foods...
- wider range of choices and availability year 'round...
- greater abundance of foods...
Brian Halweil argued there are unseen costs to the well-traveled food, such as:
- fossil fuel consumption (4 to 17 times as much oil if it comes "from afar.")
- the pollution produced during those trips is a factor, and …
- risks of food contamination along the way. (Ibid. Gorman)
There is another cost. A far more devastating one. Glyconutrition is needed by the immune system because it is the specific immune system modulator. Glyconutrition is also the means for intracellular communication, vital for immune system functions.
You see, glyconutrition only develops in the last stages of fruit or vegetable ripening. Our harvesting techniques are "green". They harvest long before ripening occurs so that food can be transported great distances. All of which means, the primary glyconutrition factors so necessary for life and cell function are being "harvested out" by default, so to speak.
Chronic disease (immune system malfunction) has escalated in direct proportion as the use of modern transport and preservative methods have increased in use. Both are "pandemic."
That is status quo. And that is our problem.
So are the pandemics - let's call them immune system pandemics - that are costing us far more in chronic disease (immune system deficiencies) than the benefits we reap (no pun intended).
Immune system deficiencies, pandemics and glyconutrition...
The losses due to this "green havesting" are enormous...and tragic:
- Underactive immune system response helps produce pandemics in cancer, flu, strep, TB and many other acute and chronic diseases.
- Overactive immune system response helps produce pandemics such as diabetes, MS, and psoriasis.
- Immune system response failure helps produce pandemics in specialized problem conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and heart diseases.
- Immune system response failure produces work and job loss…
- Lack of glyconutrition opens the body up to fre e radical damage…
- Lack of glyconutrition in both overactive and underactive immune system response helps produce complications within the chronic disease conditions, opening up the body to further debilitation and even death...
- Given that the glyconutrition has been harvested out of our foods …that leaves us “wide open” to new diseases and conditions all the time… (HIV has only been “known” since 1984 or so…)
- Lack of glyconutrition has left many couples infertile, unable to have children…
- Lack of glyconutrition has brought us incalculable health care costs and loss…
- Lack of glyconutrition helps bring on aging symptoms from immune system failure and cell damage…
- Lack of glyconutrition helps cripple stem cell formation and capability in the body…
- Lack of glyconutrition in the diet means supplementation is needed to supply what is left out by greening and other problematic farming methods...
Incidentally, glyconutrition was known in the past ...but by other names. Some ripened fruits and vegetables qualify for glyconutrition. Certain foods have been known for their healing propensities such as garlic, breast milk, certain gums, aloe vera, certain mushrooms, certain herbs, astragalus, coconut meat, Echinacea, maize and others. These each have some glyconutrition content in them.
But, glyconutrition is "harvested out", and the foods listed above are not generally America's "favorites."
And that my friend is status quo... In any language, it's a terrible "mess" for any people to clean up ...or continue to bear...

It is conjugated in the liver to make it soluble in water so that it can be cleared from the body. Although Rotor syndrome is known to be a genetic disorder, it is not known which ...
