Mannatech

[Guest guest]

Kim,

Thanks for posting the information; I'm going to look into this as well. I'm

having a bit of trouble with the web site (internal server errors, etc on the

Canadian one) but I'll let you know how it goes..

Jeannie,

There is a company called Mannatech that has a wonderful product called

Ambrotose, (glyconutrients that improve cellular communication). We have

used this with Dylan in combination with other products that were coarser,

which kept causing his tube to clog, so we stopped. Now they have the

Ambrotose plus antioxidants that I am in the process of ordering and hope it

doesn't cause the same problems with the g-tube. Dylan eats similarly to

MacKenzie, when he does eat. The marketing literature says " In an exciting

pilot human clinical study conducted internally by Mannatech, Ambrotose AO

was shown to increase protection against oxidative stress. Pilot data

indicates that one gram (2 capsules) of Ambrotose AO provided, on average,

over twice the protection observed after the consumption of an additional

five servings of fruits and vegetables per day over the same amount of time,

based on fasting-serum ORAC??? Values. Much of the success of Ambrotose AO

results from the inclusion of Ambrotose complex in the formula. When

antioxidants are taken with glyconutritional sugars, a gradual release

allows them to act as radical scavengers throughout the digestive tract,

which is necessary to provide continuous protection. I know the Ambrotose

has lots of scientific data verifying its claims including that of

stimulating the body's own production of healing stem cells. I figure it is

worth a try with Dylan. He is still on an infant formula at age 8yrs, so I

know he cannot be getting all he needs. He is already showing such changes

with the HANDLE exercises, but nutritional changes are our next step. I'll

let you know if I can tell any difference.

www.stemcellfunction.com Our rep is jbcass@..., but they have a Canada

branch too.

We also give him one capsule of Omega Brites, which is a therapeutic dose of

Omega 3's. I stick a pin in the capsule and just drain the oil into one

bolus feed each day. www.omegabrite.com
