Eva,

>>When I come to your reference to this Rosedale I know that later on in
your
letter there will be a link to a commercial site selling God knows what.
The
first thing you se on below website, that you gave us, is a link saying
"Shop now" None of the links lead to anything but a form where I am
supposed
to give lots of information about myself. I didn't.<<

Yes, Eva...I too was totally nausiated by the overt commercialism on the
Mannatech pages, but I was able to look beyond the obvious "snake oil"
sales pitch , and focus on the basic theory behind all that hype. My
purpose and hope was to verify the potential of those saccharides as the
essential key to a robust immune function. The sources for those
saccharides lay just over the cusp of that commercialism. So, I just held
my nose against the stench, while I inspected the science behind the
sales promotions. The only route to that end appeared to be through the
info on that site. I was determined to wade through all that crap to get
to my goal, and I don't regret it.

I eventually found that those saccharide resources are not dependent on
Mannatech products, or upon dealing with them on any level. Mannatech
holds no exclusive title to that market, and I only used that info as a
guide to the raw resources which are available in bulk form at every
locality, nation wide. I'm currently preparing to stock up on the raw
veggies and mushrooms, and conduct my own controlled tests on myself. I
have severe blood sugar issues to deal with, and I'm convinced that the
saccharides will strengthen my immune system to the point of becoming the
only effective "doctor" capable of stabilizing my metabolism. I regret
that I don't have those results to offer this group as yet, but I will
certainly share those results when I've thoroughly tested all the
potentials involved.

Thank you for taking the trouble to investigate this potential for
yourself. I hope you will reconsider that basic theory, and somehow test
it's value to your satisfaction. I'm only here to offer that hope, and
nothing more.

Good luck in your future efforts!

Best regards,

Ben
