Ambrotose

Question: Has anyone used Ambrotose supplement to treat RA with positive results? Am looking for alternative treatment for moderate RA.

Answer: I haven't read any research that Ambrotose or any other formulation of the essential sugars help with Arthritis specifically, but it does have a lot of benefits for the immune system, so I would think it would actually hurt Rheumatoid Arthritis because of that. As http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheumatoid_arthritis points out, there is unfortunately no known cure at this point. However, there are several natural supplements that help joint health, which may help. The most popular are Microlactin, Tart Cherries, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Hyaluronic Acid, Litozin (Danish Rose Hips), and Bromelain. The only thing to really watch out for is allergies. Glucosamine is typically from Shellfish and Microlactin is from milk. As long as you're not allergic to those, you should have no problem. Good luck!

Question: Is There Any Other Company That Makes AMBROTOSE Besides Mannatech? I've beem searching the internet for a different company but I could never come across one. Instead, I found cheaper deals from people on eBay and such, but I'm not sure they can be completely trusted.

Answer: No. 44 patents around the world make it impossible for another company to duplicate Ambrotose. They are shutting down competing companies one by one who violate the patents. If a company puts together 3 or more sugars in their formulation, it is a patent violation. Pharmaceutical companies are studying these sugars and some researchers who are developing sugar drugs cannot violate the patent either. They can make them synthetic which would require toxicity levels and side affects, but they cannot formulate 3 or more of the non toxic sugars as it too, is a patent violation. Associate policies and procedures forbids it to be sold on E Bay, but non associates can. I know that Mannatech has a 100% money back guarantee and you have up to 6 months to decide to return the empty product(s) and get your money back in full. E Bay products, once bought, and if opened or tampered with... You don't have that option. Your money is spent and that's it. If you want separate sugars, a great product is from Carrington labs. It's the mannose sugar, in which it was Mannatech's scientists that stabilized the mannose from the Aloe plant at Carrington labs. Mannatech has a contract with them to get their mannose source to formulate Ambrotose "Classic" in the US. Another source for a specific sugar is the Endowment for Medical Research that has great promise for supporting brain function. It's called Trehalose.

Question: Has anyone ever heard of ambrotose? I was wondering what you thought about it. Does it work? What are the side effects?

Answer: To pricey and with low number of glyconutrients(polysaccharides).

Question: Does anyone have information on glycnutrients like Ambrotose?

Answer: I have been using a glyconutrient product which I purchased online. It is called Salmana in which I liked it more than Ambrotose. I got it from www.biovitt.com which was a good deal because it is high quality and not a bad price. I noticed my memory was better and had more energy and plus I diden't get sick for over a year since I have been taken it. I can speak for myself only, but feel free to try it!!

Question: Have you ever taken Ambrotose? Has it made you feel more energetic? I'm taking advanced Ambrotose (the recommended dosage) 4 pills a day and haven't noticed any changes after 6 weeks. The man who sold it to me said he has more energy.

Answer: The ex-friends (long story, unrelated to the manatech stuff) that sold me the ambrotose told me they had more energy too. I tried hard and wanted it to work, and spent the money and I took it for several months and noticed zero difference. I also noticed it tasted like metamucil fibers. Coincidence? I don't know, but I quit wasting my money on it. It's also an interesting coincidence that the folks that will benefit financially from talking us into spending our money seem to notice the biggest difference in this pyramid scheme vitamin and supplement stuff. I feel more energetic when I'm making money too. Another coincidence is that the placebo effect is a strong and proven medical reality. If you believe it will work strongly enough, dried cat poo would give you more energy (if you could keep it down!). Just my 2 cents -Kevin

Question: How superior is Techmedica's Nutratose™ glyconutrient formula compared to Mannatech's Ambrotose™?

Answer: Unlike proteins which have essential amino acids, there are no essential sugars. You get 100% of your carbohydrate based nutritional needs just from eating like one serving of fruits or vegetables....easily. Also, humans can easily exist with zero sugars in their diet for YEARS with zero negative effects. Contrast that to essential proteins and fats which will quickly make you sick if you are deficient. The two products you list are both fraudulant. This is obvious to anyone with basic knowledge of human biochemistry and nutrition. If you feel the need to supplement your "glyconutrients" (lol), go eat an apple.

Question: Ok can Ambrotose and Calm U Nat give you bad dreams? Because this morning i woke up like almost crying my eyes out because of my dream. I've been having very werid/sad dreams lately. My mom says its because i havent been getting as much sleep as i need to but now that i am im just getting used to it but the last time i listened to my mom i was wrong... so yea plz help!!

Answer: If you have only been having bad dreams recently, and you have only been taking Ambrotose and Calm U Nat for a little while, they might be the problem. Think about discontinuing their use for a while. If it doesn't help, then you can start taking them again. I wouldn't really associate lack of sleep with having bad dreams. That is, unless lack of sleep is making your waking hours less happy. Bad dreams often come from the memories and impressions of unhappy waking hours. Are you suffering from stressful and unhappy events in your life right now? If you could live a happier life, you might have happier dreams. That is much easier said than done though. You are not alone. Many people just have bad dreams for no reason. Try to have a sense of humor and think of them as free horror movies. You might even be able to realize that you are dreaming. I sometimes can do this. If the things you see and experience are just too bizarre, ask yourself if you are dreaming. You might decide that they are very strange and impossible and that you are in fact dreaming. Then you can start taking control of your dreams. You might sit back and enjoy watching them like a movie, if a monster is chasing you, you might order up a weapon that can stop it. If you really don't like the dream, you might just wake yourself up to stop dreaming it. This may sound really crazy to you, but I have actually been able to do these things sometimes. Bad dreams are natural. There is nothing wrong you.

Question: Ambrotose by Mannatech? I have started taking ambrotose and the products offer by Mannatech about 3 months ago and seeing some improvements on my health. Anyone out there taking the same thing and seeing improvements like me?

Answer: I was involved with MannaTech for a little over a year. I did feel better, but...my brother was receiving automatic shipments of it. After he died, MannaTech refused to terminate shipments until I sent them his certificate of death & his obituary. I no longer take MannaTech.

Question: Have their been any double blind placebo studies on the patented product Ambrotose? Thank you, Tara?

Answer: doesn't look like it from this reference, and from the details, I doubt if any were ever done, you can also check the FDA website, good luck

Question: Rate Ambrotose? Rate Advance Ambrotose with other's of it's kind.

Answer: Not sure what you mean by "with others" since only one company holds the patent to Ambrotose. I've known several people including my self who have used it with positive results. I can't spreak for everyone but I can only tell you what I've seen. I believe in the product.

Question: has anyone used ambrotose with success?

Answer: Many of the people who sell Ambrotose make claims on the internet and in telephone "seminars," that Ambrotose® can help fibromyalgia, diabetes, attention deficit disorder, multiple sclerosis, AIDS, colitis, neuralgia, chronic infections, and wound healing. Recently Down syndrome has been added to that list, with claims ranging from improvement of the immune system and attention span to eliminating the typical facial features of Down Syndrome. Some parents have even been told by some Mannatech associates that Ambrotose® will "cure Down syndrome." Any product making such claims has to be suspect. I would beware. I have included a couple of links that look at both sides of the discussion. Personally, I'd be careful about spending money on something that claims to do so much for so many conditions. I hope this information is of some help to you.

Question: Ambrotose....Has anybody used it or heard of it? I have researched it, but I want to get reviews on real accounts of it's benefits (or even neg. effects). What did it do for/to you? I have looked at a lot of different web sites on it, and found both positive and negative stuff. I just want accounts from people who really tried it and are not just trying to sell it or whatever.

Answer: I haven't found one negitive. My brother with a heart condition was given 2 months to live. After 12 months of taking this the doctor even pulled his BP medication. It has helped my whole family

Question: Looking for people with MS who have taken Mannatech and are well now, and would talk to my friend who has MS.? I have a friend who has MS and needs infromation on what he will go through and feel as he takes Mannatech's products...especially Ambrotose. I want him to get well, but I don't have all the answers for him. He is taking Ambrotose now (just started) and is detoxing. He want's to feel assured that it will work from someone who has been through it already. I believe the products will work, that's why I gave them to him, But I/we need more info about how much to take, which products you took/take and he really want's to speak to someone who has been, or is going through this. Thank you so much.

Answer: I'm assuming your friend is going through treatment or maybe already has? I have been advised by 2 oncology nurses not to take any antioxidant or immune booster type products during chemo. I was given info. on several supplements, incl. Mannatech & from what I have read it is a promising product but ultimately, I didn't want to interfere with chemo & ever have to repeat this chapter so have opted to follow the advice of the oncology nurses. I would have him consult with his oncologist, nurses & the help line through mannatech as it is controversial. I will start on these things after chemo, to restore my health at that point & trust in the Dr.'s for now. Good luck & God Bless to you & your friend.

Question: Alternative cancer treatments? My Mum's been battling with cancer for a couple of years, and has had plenty of chemo and three surgeries but it's continued to spread. She's been open to alternatives the whole time too, and has worked with healers, meditated a lot, sticks to organics, and taken a few supplements. I'm in Hong Kong right now, on my way back from London to NZ to see her as things aren't going so well. The conventional docs have run out of answers. Does anyone have any positive experience or advice on potential alternative therapies? I've heard things about Oxy-plus (which I have bought her in the past), caesium, Ambrotose and wheat grass. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Ta, Scott

Answer: I have researched something called DMSO. My grandmother has cancer also, and she is not doing very well, but at this point she won't take DMSO, she is stubborn. Please research it and get her to try it. I really believe it will help!!

Question: My dog scratches all the time,we've tried everything,including fish and potato diet,vitamins for her coat. frontline for fleas.eating and drinking out of class contaniers,honey & oat meal shampoo.Ambrotose (immune support)and benadrel.At my wits end.What can i do?

Answer: If the itching started (or got a lot worse) right about the same time that the grass became active in your area it is probably Summer Itch. My dog (who has a laundry list of food allergies) suffers from this. Obviously eliminating grass from her world in not an option, but we do keep the yard mowed and try to keep walks to sidewalk areas. She doesn't even like to step on the grass this time of the year. I never had much luck with Frontline. I switched to Revolution, and had much better results. I use a coal tar shampoo & bathe once a week during the summer. It helps a lot. Smells bad, but makes the dog feel better.

Question: Hey Everybody? Anybody know anything about MANNATECH?? Please can anybody give me any first hand information regarding the Company Mannatech? Mannatech's products apparently contain a blend of something called GLYCONUTRIENTS??? Apparently this product called Ambrotose supports our health and vitality on a cellular level??? Something about Glyconutrients and there being 8 of them that only they have the special formula for??? Anyone out there who has tried it??? Any help greatly appreciated. PEACE .............. :0) **** So what you're saying is that glyconutrients is actually already in the food God intended for us (healthy stuff)? I was led to believe that its too hard to get glyconutrients from our nutrient depleted foods these days?? ..:0) To David S. Is it true that Mannatech is manufacturing and distributing these glyconutrients at such a level of concentration, that you would need to take 20 bottles so to speak for it to be as effective as they claim ??? PEACE ......... :0)

Answer: Mannatech is a solid company, but once you become an associate you must sign up individuals as other associates who will continually buy and use the products. I was an associate but found no money in selling. The science behind the products make sense and a great deal of people have benefited from the products. Gylconutrients are what is missing from processed foods. It's been awhile since I heard the name Mannatech. Anyway I tried a sports drink they carry for a long time and it really increased my endurance. I don't know if any of that helps. Good luck. Yes, it is difficult to get the glyconutrients from our food sources today. Because we process our vegatables before they are completely ripened or grow them without sunlight, they fail to produce the glyconutrients.
