Conditioning By the Experts

The Real Story that ABC’s 20/20 Investigators Missed
ABC’s 20/20 story on Mannatech – Why did ABC not finish their investigation on Mannatech?
By Mark Johnson June 2, 2007

In the U.S., we are conditioned to be directed by "the experts". This has become the educating
(brainwashing) method of choice employed by the media for years, attempting to convince us
“public” of many things. Thank goodness for the Internet where we can expose such nonsense
when we see it. Let's examine the ABC 20/20 deceptions presented by the two "doctors" who
were interviewed on the June 1, 2007 program investigating Mannatech and Ambrotose.

In December 1998, Dr. Freeze and other scientists conducted a study on healthy humans who
were given radioactively labeled galactose, mannose or glucose (sugars found in Ambrotose.)
To their amazement, galactose and mannose were directly absorbed and incorporated into
glycoproteins without first being broken down into glucose. Dr. Freeze and the other scientists
concluded: "that specific dietary sugars could represent a new class of nutrients." A 1998
literature review concluded that humans frequently developed liver dysfunction when they were
fed only glucose in state-of-the art parenteral nutrition (intravenous drip bags). They concluded
that use of other saccharides could have practical consequences, especially in parenteral
nutrition where only glucose is currently given.

In a November 1998 review by Dr. Freeze and others, he concluded that disorders in
glycosylation are much more common than originally thought and that there is emerging belief
that Diabetes in children is just one such genetic disorder. The authors stated that "the finding
that mannose, but not glucose, corrected glycosylation .... was surprising ... Mannose offers an attractive therapy because it should be easy to administer and non-toxic ...
