I am sorry you all feel this way, I do know how you feel and I am not here to sell anybody anything, I thought by interacting with this group that I might have some support but, unfortunetly I don't think that is the case. All I was trying to do is share my story with someone else. However, in doing some research I did come across these articles by googling glyconutrients. Maybe you should check them out before you pass judgement on me.

And for your information, I pay alot more for my perscription medicine than I do for the mannatech which is only $100. a month.

Go Figure!

If youdo your research graywlf 10 you will find that all the sights you refered to are either owned by Manatech, Mannatech Multi Level marketers or affiliates of other companies associated with Mannatech. So much for indipendant research.
I want Real Science not just fraud. I want 'Triple blind studdies wit at least 600 participants in each group. I want peer reviewed papers, not falsly sighted research. and misleading sales practices.
No graywlf the ownus is on you to go and do some research into the links I have alreadyy posted before you try and fool members of CFS comunity here at DS with your rubbish fudge.
Have an ethically rewarding day

If Mannatech was an upstanding and ethical Company then why would the three individual Nobel prize winning scientists distance themselves from Mannatech.
http://www.star-telegram.com/consumer_news/story/105633.html
The answer is found in The Texas Attourney Generals "Plantifs Original Petition" which spells out how unethical and intentionally misleading Mannatech have been.http://www.oag.state.tx.us/oagnews/release.php?id=2086.
Read the "Plantifs Original Petition" and the finding graywlf10.
Mannatech have ripped people off, they are a very dodgy organization.
My advice is dont have anything to do with them.

Thank you for the information. My concern is that you are basing the information on only these reports and not looking at the scientific evidence such has the biochemistry journal and other scientific reports. Just because a company may be questionable does not mean that their products do not work. I may only be one person but, I know of several others that have benefitted from them as well, the may not have CFS but, I guess everyones response to the product is different.

graywlf10,
I like to refer to the source of infomation wherever I can. Dr Gnter Blobel, Dr Paul Greengard and Dr Paul Nurse's science is good science, as documented in various Scientific journals, the problem is Mannatech. These scientists were the ones who published new quality science to the extent where they were applauded by their peers and recognised globally. The Mannatech comes along and muddies the whole scene. Mannatech has not done any science to the same quality or exent as these three yet they drum up, ramp up hype based on wild claims of miricle cures for all manner of diseases all for taking a spurious powdered sugars. I might add that Mannatech are the ones that make the vastly fictional claims about the sugars actually having healing properties. that's why these Nobel Laureates publically distance themselves and their science from Mannatech, and rightly so. There is no scientific evidance as to exactly how these 8 sugars actually heal. Yet until the Taxas Attourney General charged Mannatech, Mannatech were making amazing fraudulent claims regarding about fourty different diseases. They are not aloud to do that any more because there is no shred of evidance that their product was responsible for healing people. There are no reliable, controlled studies to show that glyconutrients provide any improvement against any medical disorder. The American Cancer Society states "Available scientific evidence does not support claims that people are deficient in these sugars, or that dietary supplements containing them can prevent, treat, or cure cancer or any other disease."
Mannatech cant have their cake and eat it too. They chose the "Nutritional" path which thereby sidesteps all the FDA regulations and requirments. In avouding the FDA they have attempted the fast track their product to market, a product without te decade and hundreds of millons of $ invested into the science of the product. mannatech are bad news for a very promising area of Glycobiology. Graywlf10 have you read any of the credable journals, have you read any of the text books, are you qualified to understand the science. If you had you would understand the preposterously un proven conections that Mannatech have made in the past. In ten years time I expect there will be some credable science that finds glyconutritionals beneficial for a few ailments, I also expect that the world will have seen the demise of an unethial company. Al reputable drug and Nutritional companyies do not chose a Multi Level Marketing Structure. Why risk having a quality product's reputation muddied by the aspirations of the distribution network they have no control over. Quality products sell themselves. They dont need people with $$$$ signs in their eyes to push them.
I have great hopes for Glycobiology. I spent several years working in a tissue cultire laboritory in the Nursery Industry. There I observed two things, the spread of disease, and quality components in produce quality healthy strong plant products out. Its the same in any corner of life. Dodgy Company making dodgy claims about its products leads to contamination and confusion of the science knowlege base. The world can do without Mannatech and leave it for an ethical reputable Nutrasuiticle Manufacturer that substantiates its products by worlds best practice science.
Enough said.
Glad your health is improving.
Keep doing what you have been doing and you should continue to improve.
If you want credibility then please share with us your warts and all truthfull experiance with this formidible disease CFS.
