Global Toxins
Without exception, every North American now has in his or her
tissues 300-500 known toxins that were not in existence before
1940. So, where has all the poison come from?
Toxins are everywhere. The problem is not confined to North America,
although the studies have been done in the USA and Canada. Because of the nature of wind, rain and weather, we know that the
entire planet is surrounded with toxins. Almost every known toxin
and farm pesticide on the planet can be found in places as remote
as the North Pole.
“The amount of oestrogen needed to feminise a human embryo,
essentially turning a baby boy into a baby girl, is the same ratio

• Breast reduction surgery is at a peak in teenage and young adult
males.
• Male fertility has significantly decreased in the last 20

drinking water – none!!!
Toxins in Your Home
Measurable levels of toxins are 5 times higher in our homes than
they are outdoors. The February 1998 issue of Scientific American
stated that indoor toxins are 3-5 times more dangerous than those
found outdoors.
Toxins in Your Tap
It is estimated that 90% of all pharmaceutical drugs ingested are
not metabolized, and leave the body in urine or faeces. Pharmaceutical drugs are now showing up in our tap and ground water!!!
Many drugs have been found in our wells and ground water:
• Lipid lowering drugs; Analgesics
• Chemotherapeutic drugs
• Antibiotics; Hormones
Just to name a few.
A summary article on 100 cities found identical results (Chemosphere, January 1998).
Antibiotics: Stuart Levy, Director of the Center for Adaptation
Genetics and Drug Resistance at Tufts University in Boston, MA,
states: “Our concentration of antibiotics is 1000 times higher
than in Germany, high enough to affect the growth of E-Coli.
This may be causing the bacteria to become medication resistant.” E-Coli has been discovered in the drinking water of some
major and minor US cities.
Oestrogen: Shane Snyder of Michigan State University found
enough oestrogen (mostly from birth control pills) in Lake Mead
to cause male fish to produce female egg protein, and to attempt
to lay eggs that they were not equipped to lay. Disbelieving the
results, Mr. Snyder repeated his tests 30 times.
Climbing Health Statistics
• ALL degenerative diseases are on the rise.
• Disease is regularly occurring at younger ages.
• Infants and children are contracting catastrophic illnesses
at increasing rates.
• In the last 20 years, in spite of billions of dollars spent on
research, cancer has moved from the number 8 killer of
Americans to the number 1 killer.
• In 1900, 5% of the US population died of heart disease, cancer, or
diabetes. Today, 95% of us will die from any combination of these
causes.
Do we really want to just keep doing
what 95% of us are doing?
Protection Through Nutraceutical
Supplementation
We live in extraordinary times. Our bodies and our health require
extraordinary support. Step ONE is to understand that everyone
needs nutritional support over and above food, every day, regardless of how healthy he or she feels. This is no longer a debate,
but scientific fact.
We can’t escape the exposure, but we can protect ourselves
against it:
Immune System Support | Glandular Support
Antioxidant Support | Metabolic Support
System Regulation & Inflammation Support
Acceptable levels of chemicals and pollutants are a lot lower than
you have been told. High acceptable levels are allowed because
no one knows how to solve the problem.

with minimum, baseline, concentrated nutrients.
1. Glyconutrients
The Journal, “Biotechnology” (February, 1990), states “Almost
without exception, whenever two or more living cells interact
in a specific way, cell surface carbohydrates will be involved.”
In other words, all living cells have I.D. Codes on their surfaces,
and these I.D. codes tell every other cell “who” they are, what
they do, and whether or not they are healthy. The alphabet
for that communication is made up of carbohydrates. This I.D.
Code system is so basic to human life that it is the means by
which a sperm recognizes an egg for the purpose of fertilization.
Of 200 known saccharides, only 8 are identified as essential
for cell to cell communication by Harper’s Biochemistry 24th
Edition [1996], Chapter 56 . Chart 56-4 identifies these saccharides. There are bad sugars and there are good sugars
(saccharides). To make the comparison:
• Battery acid vs. Amino acids
• Pavlova vs. Glyconutrients
20,000+ scientific papers have been published on the immune
modulating effects of glyconutrients. Every cell requires
glycoproteins (any combination of the 8 sugars, attached to
a protein ‘tail’) for 85% of its cellular processes.
And this from the National Academy of Sciences 2012 Paper:
Transforming Glycoscience – A Roadmap for the Future
“Glycans play roles in almost every biological process and
are involved in every major disease. They are integral to cell
adhesion and movement, such as when white blood cells
migrate to a site of injury or infection. Glycans inside cells help
influence the expression of genes and proteins, forming part
of a cell’s response to biological signals. The human immune
system has evolved the ability to recognize pathogen-specific
glycan sequences on bacteria, viruses, and fungi, triggering
an immune response.”
Communication Breakdown
Extensive documentation reveals that 6 of the 8 sugars (saccharides) are nowhere in our modern diets due largely to
fumigation, chlorination, refinement and “green” harvesting
of food supplies.
The body was designed with a backup system to manufacture any of these 6
sugars from glucose or galactose, the only 2 essential saccharides prevalent
in our diets today. However, this is a fragile process requiring hundreds of
enzymes, and is easily derailed if just one enzyme is lacking (e.g. lactose
intolerant persons lack just one enzyme-lactase).
In addition, the functioning of the Endocrine System illustrates how critical to health cell to cell communication is. Each part of the Endocrine
System is connected electrochemically. The entire system operates at
every step through cell to cell communication, with a feedback loop,
at the speed of light, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If there is any interruption in the system, including a shortage of any
of the sugars, you will have dysfunction, communication break-down
and eventually disease.
Of note: Shark cartilage, Echinacea, shitake mushrooms, and colostrums
are immune stimulants to a degree, and have one thing in common they offer one or a few of the essential saccharides. No food contains
all eight saccharides.
Multi-glyconutrient supplementation of the eight sugars is essential - it
normalizes excessive functions or depressed functions of the immune
system, while leaving the system’s normal functions undisturbed.
This multi-glyconutrient has been determined to have NO level of
toxicity at all.
Have you noticed this amazing phenomenon? ALL drugs have toxic
levels. A patient taking 12 toxic pharmaceutical drugs will accept
them all without question from the physician, unaware that adverse
reactions from properly prescribed and consumed FDA approved
pharmaceutical drugs are in the top 10 causes of death in the USA
(2010) and Australia (2005).
Yet.... when a loved one recommends a natural nutritional supplement
they ask if it is safe…….. ?

Unleash The Power of Synergy
Through the power of synergy, we’ve taken
antioxidants to their highest level yet.
2. Phytochemicals - Antioxidant Support
Oxidation on metal is called rust. Oxidative stress in the body is
rusting in the cell, which injures or destroys it. Some well-known
antioxidants are Vitamins A, C, and E , and Selenium, zinc and
co-enzyme Q10 are known as antioxidant catalysts.
Antioxidants from phytochemicals—naturally occurring plant
chemicals in fresh vine-ripened fruits and vegetables-are exceedingly more potent. While antioxidants protect your body from
outside the cell membrane, phytochemicals greatly increase the
production of glutathione, the body’s own antioxidant, which protects and cleanses within the cell itself. This is critical information.
The Cancer Research Center states that those who eat 8 servings
of fresh “VINE -RIPENED” fruits and vegetables per day have a better chance of protection against cancer. Do you eat at least 8 different servings of VINE-RIPENED fruits and vegetables daily?
Fruits and vegetables must be vine ripened to contain maximum
amounts of phytochemicals. Your local supermarket sells produce
that has been harvested roughly 10 days early to accommodate
3 days transit time and 7 days shelf life.
The synergistic blend determined by the assays consists of:
PhytAloe, Australian Bush Plum, Green Tea, Grape Skin, Quercitin and Mixed Tocopherols and then they added Ambrotose
Glyconutrient Blend.
a) Antioxidant/Glyconutrient Blend:
Surprisingly the Australian Bush Plum tested as the most potent
natural source of Vitamin C. The company then met with the
indigenous community and set up a joint venture for the farming,
processing and freeze-drying of the raw materials and placed the
community as joint owners on the patent.
During the search for the best antioxidant on the market the
company reviewed current research, current products and also
folklore. They found that the current laboratory assays only focused on water based antioxidants. However, our bodies need
both water and fat soluble antioxidants. Step one was to develop
a new assay for testing both water and fat based antioxidants
which is now being widely accepted in the industry.
They next searched for the highest quality sources of the best
plant-based antioxidants that they identified through the current knowledge base. They then evaluated different plants and
different combinations and amounts. They discovered more
was not always better and persevered until the found the best
‘synergistic’ blend which provided the highest antioxidant protection as tested with both the water soluble and fat soluble assays.
They executed a worldwide search for quality raw ingredients:
1) Citrus
2) Wine, grapes, olive oil
3) , 4) Green Tea
5) Australian Bush Plum
The result – an antioxidant blend showing in 2 independent human
studies to increase antioxidant protection in the body by around
37%. (5-9 serves of raw fruit and vegetables are shown to increase
antioxidant protection by 13%)
b) PhytoNutrient SuperFood Blend:
This multi-phytonutrient supplement is rich in vitamins, minerals,
essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, solubel and insolubel
fibers, phtysterols and a botanical blend of antioxidants.
In addition, these nutrients are based in a bed of stabilised
Rice Bran, a potent multi-nutrient rich in it’s own source of
glyconutrients, a powerhouse support for the immune system.
3. Phytosterols - Glandular (Endocrine)
Support
Anyone who is breathing is under stress! Physical, chemical or
emotional stress places extra demands on your glands. The adrenal
gland, about the size of a ripe strawberry sitting atop each kidney,
help us handle stress.

Hypoadrenia is low adrenal function and occurs when the adrenal
glands cannot keep up with continual stress and increasing demands. It affects more people and areas of health than any other
gland, yet almost nothing is taught about it in medical school because no drugs exist to address the problem.

Nutrition the Way That Nature Intended!
Broad spectrum, plant-based glandular support is essential
for optimal health. Each endocrine organ produces its own
hormones. There is a powerful plant-based precursor for ALL of
these body hormones (180 of them). This precursor, derived from
dioscorea, is the building block for the entire hormone tree, much
like beta- carotene is the precursor to Vitamin A.
state. Some things which can cause extreme stress in the body:
• Intense workout
• Fatigue, pain, injury
• Emotional upset, distress, grief, loss
Dioscorea is a modulator, not a stimulator. There is no evidence
that it would stimulate the production of extra oestrogen or
testosterone if those hormones are at normal levels.
Over the last decade, there has been a great deal of controversy
about whether or not the body can convert Dioscorea or wild
Mexican yam, into hormones. The reason for the controversy
is this: there are at least 600 species of Dioscorea. Only six of
them contain the functional component or active ingredient in
appreciable quantities.
The functional component or active ingredient is a plant sterol
called Diosgenin. Diosgenin is molecularly very similar to the
hormone in our bodies called Pregnenalone. Pregnenalone is
one of the “mother hormones” from which the body can, directly
or indirectly, make any hormone that it needs. As we age, the
production of Pregnenalone and DHEA decreases.

4. Multivitamin & Minerals
The vast majority of Vitamins & Minerals are synthetic and
difficult, if not impossible, to absorb. In addition, large doses
of isolated vitamins and minerals is of questionable value to
our body.
The most positive and effec tive vitamin and mineral
would be as close to food as possible including the
co-factors that occur in nature to assist absorption. These co-factors
include phytochemicals. e.g bioflavanoids are co-factors for Vit C.
Phytochemicals only arrive in the food in the last few days of ripening
on the plant.
a) Hormonal Support
The endocrine formula is designed to be dissolved slowly in
the intestine and to be neutral, enabling the body to choose
whichever hormonal pathway it needs at any given moment. It
is beneficial to anyone needing hormonal balancing & support.
b) The Sports Formula
The stress formula, is made to dissolve immediately in the
stomach and is slanted toward helping the body produce testosterone, which is needed by everybody, male and female, to
recover from stress.
This formula is not just for athletes, but for anyone under any type
of mental, emotional, or physical stress or who is in a low energy
A World First – A 100% plant digested, vitamin & mineral
supplement with standardised phytochemicals we used to
get from vine-ripened fruits and vegetables in the market
place! Our bodies utilize up to 390% more of a natural
vitamin/mineral than synthetic and retain up to 170% more.
(Journal of Medical Hypothesis 2000, 55(6) 461-469)
5. Essential Source Omega 3
Essential Fatty Acids are the “good” fats that play a major role in
our health and vitality. “Essential” means we cannot produce
them in our body and must consume them in our diet.
Our modern diet has lead us to consume an excess of Omega
6 (vegetable oils) with a relative deficiency of Omega 3.
Research has also identified that this imbalance & deficiency
of Omega 3 has been as a contributing factor to many chronic
health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and
depression and is pro-inflammatory in the body.

Your Cells are 100% Nutrition
Your body is pre-programmed for wellness,
given it receives the nutrients it requires.
There are two key components to Omega 3’s known as EPA and
DHA and these have different beneficial actions in our body.
We need both. There is extensive science showing benefits for
memory and brain function, heart and cardiovascular health,
immune function, hormonal health, reduction of inflammation,
arthritis as well as benefits in infant development, pregnant &
lactating women. There is also evidence that Omega 3’s assist
with fat metabolism and therefore can be a beneficial compliment
with a weight loss program.
The richest and most easily absorbable source of Omega 3’s are
cold water oily fish however most people don’t eat enough fish
and unfortunately our oceans around the globe are now polluted
with industrial waste and these toxins are in the fish. In addition,
farmed fish does not have the same Omega 3 content as ocean
fish as they are not feeding on their usual natural diet. Hence
the recommendation by many health care professionals now
to supplement our diets with Omega 3’s via Fish Oil to obtain
adequate amounts for our health.
There are many fish oils on the market. But purity and efficacy is
not equal by any means. Most products are not distilled clean
of ocean toxins and most have minimal content of the beneficial
active ingredients - EPA/DHA.
There are many different strains of these good bacteria with
different types colinising in our small and our large intestine.
Adding supplementary probiotics to your diet can assist
in recolinising your gut with healthy bacteria and thereby
improve the uptake of nutrients from your diet and nutritional
supplements that you are taking.
This unique formula contains six strains of probiotic bacteria
supplying both the small and large intestine (15 Billion in
total including the species Bifidobacterium longum, B. breve,
Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. rhamnosus, L.plantarum and
Streptococcus thermophilus). These particular strains are
also known to work in synergy with glyconutrients to support
your digestive health and your immune function. The formula
also contains, Fructo-oligosachharides (FOS) and gum acacia,
known as a potent, quality ‘prebiotics’. A prebiotic is ‘vital
food’ for the probiotics to keep them alive and viable for when
they reach your gut.
“The FOS in itself makes this
probiotic ‘worth it’s weight in gold.”
~ Kimberley Douglas, Nutritionist (2013)
There are two key important differences with Mannatech’s
Essential Source Omega 3 - It is ultra pure molecularly doubledistilled fish oil so you are assured of complete safety (toxin free)
when taking this product. It surpasses all market standards and
there is no smell or after taste. It is rich in DHA (420mg) and EPA
(630mg ) – this is twice the daily recommended amount at the
recommended dose and significantly more than average brands
on the market.
Remarkable Results
ProBiotic - for
GastroIntestinal Support
The truly remarkable results in well-being, which occur when
people ingest these nutritional supplement combinations,
happen because of the capabilities programmed into each
and every cell to maintain optimal health, capabilities that can
only function fully when the cells receive all the nutrition they
need. >>
We all have ‘good’ bacteria (known as probiotics) that live in
our intestines which assist in healthy digestion and immune
system function (70% of our immune system aligns our gut).
These bacteria can be destroyed and their numbers depleted
by many lifestyle factors including alcohol, antibiotics and
other drugs, poor diet, stress and even drinking chlorinated
water. This depletion can then lead to a compromised
digestion and immune system.
