Glycomic Insights from Oxford University into the Multi-functional Role of Trehalose E-mail
Glycomic Insights from Oxford University into the Multi-functional Role of Trehalose

Comments by J. C. Spencer

A few years ago the view on the role of the sugar trehalose was that it served as a storehouse of glucose for energy and for synthesis of certain cellular components. Since then, knowledge on the multi-functions trehalose has greatly expanded; it functions in some organisms in a structural or transport role while in some cells it is involved in signaling and regulation, and functions to protect membranes and proteins against the adverse effects of stresses.

While trehalose is not normally found in the human body, humans do have the enzyme trehalase in intestinal villae cells and in kidney brush border cells. This apparently is to metabolize and/or transport ingested trehalose. There is growing evidence that accumulated cytoplasmic trehalose protects proteins and membranes from denaturation caused by stresses.

I am sure there are other functions for this simple but very diverse sugar that are yet to be determined. Additional studies on trehalose are needed to address these unknowns.

The Sugar Trehalose Protects Cells from Electron Beam Damage

Comments by J. C. Spencer

Does this finding mean that the sugar trehalose can help protect us from other electron radiation damage? Obviously, more research is needed. Obviously, trehalose continues to surprise us with it efficacy. There are only a few good sugars found in nature while nearly 200 are harmful to your health. Trehalose is one of the good sugars that evidences neurological and other benefits. We are beginning to understand how trehalose works in protecting the cell, brain, and human body. We know trehalose maintains integrity of biological systems when under stress. The researchers at the Université de Lausanne in Switzerland were surprised to learn that trehalose reduces beam damage from electron microscopy.

Court Allows Health Claims for Natural Products

Truth and expression of truth about natural products were poisoned but are now alive and in recovery. During the last week of May 2010, the United States District Court in the District of Columbia ruled that the FDA violated the First Amendment free-speech rights of a dietary-supplement company when it arbitrarily censored truthful and non-misleading claims about selenium’s benefits in reducing the risk of cancer.

This makes the seventh victory against the FDA to restore to companies and individuals the right to make truthful and non-misleading statements about their products. After this seventh case victory, the courts have given back to companies the right to tell the truth.

Study at UT Southwestern Medical Center Shows Trehalose More Stable than Other Sugars with Enduring Source of Energy

Comments by J. C. Spencer

Research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center supports the view that trehalose is more stable than other carbohydrates and provides an enduring source of energy that helps drive cell cycle progression. Trehalose is proving to be the stress buster in supporting life. The study further shows that cells lacking trehalose initiate growth more slowly and frequently exhibit poor survivability. During prolonged quiescence, the moments when the fluid lacks any movement, trehalose storage is often maintained in favor over glycogen, perhaps for it to fulfill its numerous stress-protectant functions.

Scientists Entice Sugar Trehalose into Red Blood Cells to Powder Blood E-mail
Scientists Entice Sugar Trehalose into Red Blood Cells to Powder Blood

Comments by J. C. Spencer

A University research project has uploaded the sugar trehalose into human red blood cells to stabilize them in preparation for powdering blood through cryogenics. The technology for preserving blood in powdered form has long been a dream of scientists. The implications can save countless lives with the ability for long term storage of blood especially for the battlefield, rural areas, and developing countries. Trehalose was enticed into the cell with electroporation, an electro-mechanical method used to introduce polar molecules into a host cell through the cell membrane. The electric pulse procedure temporarily disturbs the phospholipid bilayer. Scientists have induced electroporation to manipulate genes and cells.

Here in Texas, we have used a more natural means, alkaline electrolytes to upload trehalose and nanominerals to the human body in a complex designed to help increase the pH of the cell. Our work is explained in The Trehalose Handbook which is an educational project of The Endowment for Medical Research and can be downloaded without charge from the Download Store at www.endowmentmed.org [for a period of time]. Interested individuals may request more information and possible participation in a six month self-funding General Health Evaluation Pilot Survey. Participants will utilize a nutritionally fortified Trehalose pH Fusion Tea containing bio-available ionic trace minerals in a dry phytochemical fulvic acid compound. Supplemental funding is available for participants who register for the six-month Pilot Survey at Survey@endowmentmed.org

Now the Abstract.

New Research Study Explains HOW the Sugar Trehalose Inhibits Alzheimer’s E-mail
New Research Study Explains HOW the Sugar Trehalose Inhibits Alzheimer’s

Comments by J. C. Spencer

Over the last few years research in Universities around the world have supported evidence that the sugar trehalose inhibits protein plaque buildup that causes neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s diseases. A new report from the Tianjin University in China explains just how trehalose is able to accomplish this remarkable event in the brain. We learn that the trehalose molecules cluster around the peptide at a specific distance. The intra-peptide hydrophobic interactions are weakened and the Aβ42 contacts are decreased by the trehalose. This finding shines light on the actual molecular mechanism that has the inhibiting effect. More research is needed. This evidence helps point the way for better mental health and neurodegenerative research.

Here is the Abstract and supporting references.

Trehalose is making its way into medicine on the point of a needle

Comments by J. C. Spencer

Trehalose continues to impact medicine, healthcare, food processing and preservation. But, this is a new one. Coating needles with trehalose-stabilized particles may become a promising tool for vaccinations. Reports continue to come in about the stabilizing influence of trehalose. If you have not downloaded or purchased Vol. One and Vol. Two of The Trehalose Handbook, you can do that today in our download store. The download copies is our gift to our readers.

How You Can be EXEMPT From the New Healthcare Law E-mail
How you can be exempt from the new healthcare law

Comments by J. C. Spencer

No one is sure where the new healthcare law is going. But one place of which we can be sure, it is going is to court. At least twenty states so far have filed suit to become exempt. Evidently the House and Senate, the Amish, Muslims, and American Indians are exempt from the new healthcare mandate and any penalty that applies.

All Christians can also become exempt if they take very reasonable certain steps. It is written into the law. So, let’s see, if the House and Senate, the Muslims, American Indians, Amish, and now all other Christians can become exempt; plus the fact that twenty some states are filing suit to withdraw, where will that leave the new healthcare law?
