'Sugars That Heal: the new healing science of glyconutrients' is a book written by the founder of the Glyconutrients Research Foundation, Dr Emil Mondoa, along with Mindy Kitei. In it, Dr Mondoa outlines the results of a new area of research in glyconutrients, which are the so-called essential sugars that are used by the human body to promote overall health and well-being. The basic thesis of the book is that today's highly-processed diet lacks the rich nutritional benefits that can be gained from fresh plant foods, but new glyconutritional supplements contain ingredients that may boost the body's immunity, lower blood pressure, or increase energy levels.
Glyconutrients are eight "essential" polysaccharides, or complex sugars, that form an integral part of inter-cellular communication systems within the body. The book describes the effect of increasing dietary intake of these eight sugars as increasing lean muscle mass and decreasing body fat, decreasing blood cholesterol levels, improving the body's inflammatory response and immune system, providing relief from auto-immune diseases such as arthritis, and diminishing the strength and severity of allergy symptoms. Dr Mondoa outlines positive effects of glyconutrients for sufferers of cancer, asthma, Gulf War Syndrome, and other health conditions where the body has deteriorated physically. Conversely, however, Dr Mondoa purports that a diet lacking in glyconutrients will have negative effects on these aspects of the body's functioning.
"Sugars That Heal" provides context for the role of glyconutrients by first giving an introduction to the human immune system, describing the key components and stages of the immune response and specifying the role of glyconutrients in this process. The book goes on to describe practical means by which glyconutrients can:
- act in preventing common infectious diseases such as the common cold; - provide relief from allergies and illnesses related to overreactive immune responses; and - assist management of diseases such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Gulf War Syndrome, arthritis, diabetes and other chronic conditions;
Dr Mondoa doesn't stop there. He goes on to outline the helpful role of glyconutrients in general health, stating these sugars' claims for roles in preventative self-care, slowing the aging process, building endurance, muscle tone and strength, reducing body fat, preventing sun damage, aiding psychological function and acting as an anti-depressant, and in reversing the effects and even presence of risk factors for heart disease and other lifestyle diseases. The Sugars That Heal outlines a plan for ensuring all eight glyconutrients are included in the diet by way of supplements and natural foods.
With the level of excitement surrounding glyconutrients in the marketplace these days, Sugars That Heal is a very popular book that has received good reviews from many quarters. There is a good deal of anecdotal evidence from people that support the views it proposes, and pioneering practitioners have likewise lent it support. 'Sugars that Heal: the new healing science of glyconutrients' is a book written by the founder of the Glyconutrients Research Foundation, Dr Emil Mondoa.

Stolen Boy is billed as a work of fiction, however it actually explores a real event, and that event is still unfolding in the Southern California court system. Jessie James Hollywood faces the potential of the trip to lethal injection for his actions. So real is Michael Mehas' book that he actually was subpoenaed twice as a witness in the trial, and forced to hand over his notes and tapes of interviews he had conducted.
With a background of Los Angeles, Stolen boy is about drugs, booze, fast cars, and young people. With that combination you will immediately think gangs. But gangs are not involved, the individuals are mostly from regular middle class, though, highly dysfunctional families.
Mickey Youngblood and Rick LeBlanc are young people that have set out on money making careers in the drug business, both have carved out lucrative existences, but a deal between them that went wrong has soured their relationship. So much so, that a $2000 outstanding debt, creates a verbal war, that in turn becomes a physical war of property damage, and threats towards families.
Mickey is to say the least a hot head, and when the windows of his house are smashed out in a late night raid, all rules of right and wrong exit through the empty frames. Revenge is a strong emotion and Mickey is hell bent on satisfying his hunger for it.
His first idea is to find Rick LeBlanc and have it out with him. $2000 after all is chump change in the drug world. In a sheer coincidence it is not Rick they see walking down the street, but his 15 year old younger brother Bobby. Once again though, Mickey lets his rage rule his brain, and persuades the kids with him to firstly beat the kid up "as a warning," however second thoughts enter the sick and twisted mind, and instead they kidnap Bobby.
It is not the classic kidnap tale, in fact it is anything but classic. Bobby for the most part is free to leave at any time, but he prefers to 'party' with his captors, drugs and booze abound! Even stranger there is no attempt made to conceal the fact that Bobby is a hostage. In what has to have been the worst kept secret in the sieve that is the LA underbelly, the whole scheme starts to unravel as more and more people become involved.
Once again the demon Mickey makes poor choices, faced with the potential of exposure by Bobby he must now make a very hard decision. Does he believe Bobby when he says that there is no harm done, and that he will not talk to anyone about the kidnapping? Or is a different course of action needed?
This is a very powerful book, and one that deserves a spot on the coveted shelf space of your local bookstore. It has also cost author Michael Mehas a great deal to write this book, being so close to the factual case he finds himself in a 'no win' situation. The real Mickey faces the possibility of the death penalty. What Michael knows could spare him, or could seal his fate. In many ways, Michael has become Mickey, he holds the key to life or death. This is not a situation I would want to be in.
This is not your typical novel, even though the main characters are mere teenagers, they cover the entire gamut of today's society, the good, the bad, and the very, very ugly!
Stolen Boy is available through Amazon, and Michael Mehas also has a very informative web site where you can learn more about this story that merges fact with fiction.
