Phytochemicals in Fruits:
Keys to Cellular Communication
Dr. Mondoa suggests a comparison between protein and saccharide messages:
- • Two identical amino acids (building blocks of protein)
can combine to form one biochemical message; 2=1
- • Two identical monosaccharides can form eleven message
molecules; 2=11
- • Four different amino acids can form 24 distinct molecules;
4=24
- • Four different saccharides can combine into 35,560 distinct
molecules called tetrasaccharides; 4=35,600!
Scientists now understand that each of these 35,600 tetrasaccharides can be called
a letter in the language of cellular communication.
As cells touch, they “talk” to each other by means of the glycoproteins
on each cell. In this way alien cells (bacteria, viruses, and allergens) are identified.
Without this vital “early-warning” communication, the immune system cannot
function properly.
Cells cannot "talk" to each other without glycoproteins
(sugar and protein combined).
If our bodies are deprived of the correct raw material needed to form the cell-to-cell
communication language, miscommunication occurs. By giving our bodies straw instead
of bricks, we may be allowing our structure to be vulnerable to the strong winds of
illness! Disease may simply be the result of wrong messages sent, or a warning that
should have gone out to the immune system but didn’t.
What happens if our bodies receive only artificial, man-made sugars? Will cellular
language be corrupted? Will incorrect messages be sent? What if our bodies need the
essential saccharides xylose or mannose for a particular message and our diet lacks
these sugars?
Young Living’s Ningxia wolfberry polysaccharides are composed of the essential
sugars glucose, galactose, mannose, and xylose, as well as two other valuable saccharides,
arabinose and rhamnose.
And amazingly, the powerful Ningxia wolfberry is also packed with protein.

Companies like to connect their products to specific terms to make it appear as if they have a corner
on the market. While some of these terms have slightly different meanings, generally they can be used
interchangeably:
- glyconutrients
- glycoproteins
- polysaccharides
- monosaccharides
- healthy sugars
- essential sugars
- miracle sugars

Of the eight essential sugars, the NingXia wolfberry has six. NingXia Red delivers these
sugars as part of WHOLE foods rather than as a concoction of isolated ingredients often marketed. Considering
that it also contains blueberries, raspberries, pomegranates, apricots, and dark grapes—all of
which are well known for their health benefits— NingXia Red is, in fact, a wonderful source of
all eight essential sugars. Glucose and Galactose have the ability to convert into the missing Fucos
and Neuramic, but minerals are necessary to make the coversion. NingXia Red has an abundance of minerals
in forms most easily assimulated.
