Angie Rhoads- Deceived By ABC's 20/20

Many of you watched the distorted feature story on 20/20 about Glyconutrients on Friday June 1st. You may already know that the CEO of the Global Leading Company in Glyconutritionals was interviewed and deceived with what aired. There was also another person used in their tabloid media tactics.

Angie Rhoads, with stage III cancer in her brain, was interviewed. Angie had refused traditional therapies of radiation, chemo and drugs. Instead she chose to take Glyconutritional supplements. On the air 20/20 stated there was no change with the cancer brain scan since starting the Glyconutritional products. The reality is that Angie was cancer free at the time of filming. "No change" actually meant there was no cancer since the last scan. Why did 20/20 decide to leave out this information from the story?

Tabloid T.V. at its best is all I can say. A real tragedy for what I used to consider a reputable broadcast show. Now, I personally view the program is as reputable as one of those tabloid magazines you see at a grocery store checkout. Really..... How could you not? Think about this; How many other stories have they done that were manipulated to tell the story they wanted the public to percieve? Makes you wonder doesn't it?

You know what's kind of funny? I actually feel embarrassed for them (20/20). It's like they gave the story to some desperate media student looking for exposure. You have to wonder how many other programs like 20/20 do the exact same thing. Why? For ratings? A great story? What a shame...

BTW- Glyconutritionals do not treat, cure or prevent diseases, and should not be taken in place of a doctors care or proven therapies (20/20's reason for airing). The body heals itself. It is up to you to put into it what it needs...
