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...
Check out Angie Rhoad's blog as she tells her side.
Another blogger's post
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...

20/20 Does a Number on Glyconutritionals
As many of you are already aware. 20/20 did a feature story on the Leading Company in Glyconutritionals on Friday June 1st. It was tabloid TV at its finest. I for one am amazed at how this so called report is biased, twisted, and absolutely wrong. How it could be passed off as news raises a brow at the credibility their other stories may have. Aren't these type of stories suppose to show both sides instead of these distorted-edited one-sided versions of what they would like everyone to believe? Makes you wonder how much of a hand they have in carrying out the drug companies' agenda, or is it just a coincidence?
In the interview 'Jim' desperately tries to get the CEO to say something damaging, as 'Jim' repeatedly asks if the product cures cancer. How many times did he have to be told "nutrients don't cure anything." Of course the edited-version of the interview did not show any of this. It merely shows a few strategically placed clips of the interview. It's very clear that 20/20 was out to get the Company behind Ambrotose in the way they manipulated the story. It is a shame really that broadcast media resorts to such practices in their quest for a "good story." What a disappointment.
This Leading Company in Glyconutritional technology does not encourage or endorse the notion that the products treat, cure or mitigate diseases. The Company promotes Wellness not alternative medicine. It is committed to improving lives by actively researching and responsibly developing nutritional supplements which truly have the highest standards in the industry.
Despite the distortions of this recent media attention, the Company has received mention in two prestigious magazines; BusinessWeek (12th in list of 100 Hot Growth Companies) and The Wall Street Journal.
Below is the first part of the unedited 20/20 interview. The Company was smart to do their own taping. Get the full story and make your own decision.

Glyconutritional Company on 20/20
I believe the upcoming Glyconutrients feature on ABC's 20/20 will be negative. As usual it will be perceived as "one of those multi-marketing schemes" making outrageous claims on a "wonder tonic."
There are quite a few inexperienced independent distributors that get carried away, or don't know the rules and regulations. In defense of MLM companies, the majority of independent distributors are aware and educate their reps to enforce that Glyconutrients do not treat or cure any medical conditions. But there are those that are not aware or do not make an assertive effort, and predicatively those are the ones 20/20 will do the report on.
In the four minute video teaser of the upcoming segment on the 20/20 web site, a young girl is interviewed who had a large tumor removed from her brain, but who is now refusing all traditional medical treatments in lieu of glyconutritional products. She confidently believes it will cure cancer. There is also, of course, the obligatory "hidden camera" footage of distributors at opportunity meetings...
20/20 airs on Fridays on ABC at 10pm. View the video preview by clicking on the link "Sugar Pill Treats Cancer?" here: http://abcnews.go.com/2020

Nobody Cares...
In my quest to share the discovery of Glyconutrients with the rest of the world my sister recently said to me- "Nobody Cares!"
Don't get me wrong. My sister is fully aware of the benefits of glyconutrients, as she is a consumer of the products, and knows all too well the support they provide in personal health and wellness. To say she has had positive personal experiences with glyconutritionals would be an understatement.
My sister has seen the time I've invested in researching the journals, publications, and product knowledge to share the knowledge with others. She thinks there is too much negativity, skeptics and nay-sayers...
"Nobody Cares!"
Now I ask you. How is one to feel when your own sister, a smart independent registered nurse, shoots you off your horse like that? I was actually surprised at first. I mean, she is a nurse afterall, right? Why doesn't she "get it?" Wouldn't it make sense for someone in her line of work to want to share the knowledge of glyconutrients with others to better their quality of life?
Really, think about it. If the entire planet was "open" to learn about this, how much of a difference could this make on a Global scale?
I keep hearing my sister's voice in my head. "Nobody Cares!"
I suppose I could give in and succomb to the pharmaceutical giants' control of the "sickness business" and be influenced by one of those happy-flowery drug commercials I see on tv. Wait a minute. Should I take the advice of those commercials or listen to the advice of the Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at John Hopkins who was listed by TIME Magazine and CNN as one of the top doctors in America. Dr. Benjamin Carson was quoted in a published article saying we all need to be taking Glyconutrients.
Those words keep ringing... "Nobody Cares!"
Dr. Emil Mondoa, MD and author of, "Sugars that Heal" has published interviews promoting the benefits of glyconutrients.
"Nobody Cares!"
Dr. Alex Omelchuck was debilitated from a massive brain aneurism until he did the research and began consuming glyconutrients. Now Dr Omelchuk travels the world sharing his remarkable story of recovery and how we have adopted the wrong (pharmaceutical) paradigm for treating disease. He explains in a “no nonsense” manner how mother nature placed life-giving plants on our planet and how we can utilize powerful plant extracts and concentrates to “heal ourselves”.
Dr. John Rollins, a former Assistant Professor of Microbiology at Howard University's School of Medicine, award winning senior patent examiner for over 2 decades at the US Patent/Trademark Office who examined patent applications for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical technologies. Dr. Rollins is an Embryologist and a specialist in bio-molecular biology. His job at the Patent Office was to evaluate and review all new discoveries of bio-affecting compounds and compositions in both the drug and nutritional arenas. He stated Glyconutritional technology "stood head and shoulders above the rest... This discovery might provide the single biggest opportunity to impact health from both ends of the spectrum."
"First, glyconutrients are essential for normal defense functions, making them one of the best strategies for reducing the risk of disease. Second, they are also necessary to support the normal functions of repair, making them one of the most critical strategies for supporting the body's normal healing functions."
"Nobody Cares!"
Today a good number of doctors and scientists "get it." Results motivated studies are being conducted by the Ugandan government for the beneficial impact of Glyconutrients on their countries' population suffering from AIDs and Malaria.
Tens of thousands of orphans from around the world have been positively impacted by consuming glyconutrients, for FREE by the way!
"Nobody Cares!"
There are those nay-sayers that state there is no science to it. Glycoscience/Glycomics is relatively new. Let's see there have been quite a few publications on it. Just to name a few:
-Acta Anatomica published an etire issue on Glyco Sciences
-MD New's multiple articles
-Science Magazine published an entire issue on Glycobiology
-A technology magazine, which I can't reveal, stated Glycomics was one of 10 technologies that will change the world.
-Harper's Biochemistry, first year medical text, lists eight vital sugars in a chapter on glycoproteins
-Scripp's Institue received $34 million grant to do research
"Nobody Cares!"
I have to say- I DO CARE! There is something to it! Glyconutrients are not "new" - they have been around probably forever and used to be found in our daily food- but no more. They have been re-discovered and combined into products; products that support and nourish our cells. Everyone on the planet needs to know about this- simple as that...
Now that I think about it in retrospect, when my sister said "Nobody Cares," I think what she really meant was "No One Will Listen!" Hmmm... I guess the question is, how do I get people to listen?

Video Parodies Drug Companies and Conventional Healthcare System
YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS!
"Many are furious about the truth being exposed. This film documents the problems with a health care system that supports the many and frequent scams evil marketing geniuses employed by drug companies foist on an unknowing public every day. A Washington Post article focuses on a relatively new, and some say increasing, phenomenon dubbed "disease mongering." Drug makers maintain that the drug ads help people who are suffering with illness, but critics remain skeptical that disease mongering encourages people to think they need prescription drugs whey they may not."
Watch the "highly acclaimed video causing a flood of hatemail."
