Aloe vera has always been a popular herb amongst bush doctors and spiritual workers. The frequency vibration that aloe vera has is mystical.

​The main use of aloe vera is to re-calibrate the body’s frequency system. This is done on a DNA level. It gets the body’s cells to follow the normal instructions within the DNA.  Aloe vera is used to turn off incorrect DNA instructions.

Mystics use aloe vera to turn off all the negative signals within the body. The powerful ingredient of aloe vera is organic germanium. This mineral is used by the body to reinforce the proper DNA signals. When there is an anomaly in the body, such as a cell reproducing abnormally, the body knows. However, the body may not have the power to overwhelm that cell and bring it back into the proper frequency vibration. The organic germanium within the aloe vera provides the necessary instructions and building blocks for the immunity system to recalibrate itself and cancel out the negative vibration. Therefore, aloe vera is used to cure any disease. The electrolytic properties of aloe vera are also important. Sometimes the cells are having problems communicating with each other because they are not on the same wavelength (vibration). The magical use of aloe vera is to keep all cells on the same wave length, so as to protect the integrity of DNA instructions.
There are some herbalists who use only aloe vera to cure all sickness, even AIDS and cancer.

​Aloe vera L. Facts Acemannan.
In a recent study thirty-two products representing most of the world’s suppliers of aloe demonstrated a lack of consistency in Acemannan content. The amount and molecular weight of the Acemannan component varied widely. The molecular weight ranged from 10.59 to 1330.33 KDa.11 Bioavailability. Intestinal epithelial cells “IEC’s” form a monolayer covering the inside surface of the intestinal tract. These cells facilitate absorption. The mechanisms used are paracellular transport for small molecular compounds, transcellular passive diffusion and intracellular transcytosis for high molecular compounds. The villus epithelial of the small and large intestine readily absorb properly prepared substances with a molecular weight less than 50 KDa. Immunomodulation. Smaller molecular weight molecules are usually preferred to higher molecular weight moleculesdue to bioavailability issues. Acemannan must be the correct size to be detected and engulfed by macrophages. Aloe polysaccharides larger than 400 KDa have only marginal immunomodulatory activity, while polysaccharides smaller than 400 KDa have potent immunomodulatory activity.

Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading killer of Americans, imparts a significant toll on the quality of life of the patient and primary caregiver, and results in inordinate costs in an already overburdened medical system. Prior studies on cholinesterase inhibitors among AD patients have shown minimal amelioration of disease symptoms and/or restoration of lost cognitive functioning. The effect of improved nutrition, particularly with dietary supplements, on cognitive functioning may offer an alternative strategy compared to standard treatment. The present pilot study investigated the effect of an aloe polymannose multinutrient complex (APMC) formula on cognitive and immune functioning over 12 months among adults diagnosed with AD. Subjects participated in an open-label trial and consumed 4 teaspoons per day of the APMC. The ADAScog, MMSE, ADCS-ADL, and SIB were administered at baseline and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months follow-up. Cytokines and lymphocyte and monocyte subsets were assessed at baseline and 12 months. The mean ADAS-cog cognition score significantly improved at 9 and 12 months from baseline, and 46% of our sample showed clinically-significant improvement (≥4-point change) from baseline to 12 months. Participants showed significant decreases in tumor necrosis factor-α, vascular endothelial growth factor, and interleukins-2 and-4. CD90+, CD95+CD3+, CD95+CD34+, CD95+CD90+, CD14+CD34+, CD14+CD90+, and CD14+CD95+ decreased significantly, whereas CD14+ significantly increased. Participants tolerated the APMC supplement with few, temporary adverse reactions. Our results showed improvements in both clinical and physiological outcomes for a disease that otherwise has no standard ameliorative remedy. PMID: 22976077

Aloe vera and GI Tract Health

Learn More

 By Dr. Santiago Rodriguez

The American College of Gastroenterology reports that 95 million Americans experience some kind of digestive problem in their lifetime and over 10 million of them are hospitalized each year for these problems. One of the major causes is that excessive hydrochloric acid secretion will manifest into various disease conditions. Acid reflux, heartburn, peptic ulcers, functional dyspepsia, and irritable bowel syndrome are all gastrointestinal issues caused or accelerated in part by excessive hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Antacids neutralize the stomach acid but cannot change excessive secretion due to the protective nature of the stomach. Pharmaceutical drugs have been designed to inhibit the signal from the brain to the cells of the stomach that release hydrochloric acid. Although both of these categories of drugs work as designed they can cause more harm than good. The best way to solve excessive secretion of hydrochloric acid is to orally consume a good quality Aloe vera that raises the pH of the stomach within the safe limits. Properly processed organic Aloe vera inner leaf gel powder will raise pH to eliminate discomfort, facilitate healing of the gastrointestinal tract and act as a probiotic for gut health. Antacids come in a variety of over the counter and prescription pharmaceutical forms. Over the counter antacids typically contain calcium carbonate and other alkali to neutralize the acid. By neutralizing stomach acid, antacids actually have a damaging effect by raising the stomach pH beyond the safe threshold of the body. When this occurs the brain receives a signal that the pH is too high and the body responds to release more hydrochloric acid to compensate. This cycle of too high a pH and more hydrochloric acid by the body persists as the sufferer consumes more antacid pills which then reinitiates the process. Pharmaceutical drugs use a technology to block the brain signal receptors for the acid producing cells in the stomach. These drugs are called “proton pump inhibitors” since they block the signal coming from the brain to secrete more hydrochloric acid. The first problem is that a person would have to continue to use these drugs in order to keep the acid levels low. The second problem is that these drugs block the communication-response system to the brain disrupting the entire digestive process. The continued use of proton pump inhibitors impairs the digestion process since the body has no way to adjust for the right amount of acid to be released during or between meals. This interferes with the normal digestive process. Chronic use of these proton pump inhibitors have been associated with increased risk of losing bone density resulting in fractures and osteoporosis. It is believed the long term use of these drugs can impair absorption of calcium and other important minerals. The healing effect of Aloe vera has been documented throughout the decades. The Ukrainians are credited with preliminary research concerning a “wound hormone” found in certain plant tissues. They observed that this plant hormone accelerated the healing of injured plant surfaces. Using skin lesion models in rats and rabbits they observed that this plant “wound hormone” had the same effect in mammals. Testing was done by injection and topical application. The topical application was much more rapid and complete resulting in a systemic response and accelerated healing. Additional research found that Aloe vera gel was a safe and effective source of the “wound hormone” which was later identified as Acemannan. Oral ingestion of Aloe vera appeared to be the best route of administration for gastric ulcers. A group of Osteopathic Doctors in Florida decided to test these observations on a group of their patients in the early 1960’s. The patients were diagnosed as having peptic ulcers. Using Aloe vera inner leaf gel that was separated from its cellulose matrix they prepared an emulsion that utilized a teaspoon amount as a single dose. The only change in their diet was the daily consumption of the Aloe vera emulsion. All of the patients had completely recovered by the end of 1961. Aloe does much more than deliver the wound hormone Acemannan to ailing tissue. Aloe vera contains a natural buffer system that can restore a healthy level of stomach acid by raising the pH enough to relieve the discomfort of indigestion, but not enough to trigger the release of more acid. Orally administered high quality Aloe vera powder eliminates the up and down cycle common to antacids. Aloe vera also functions as a probiotic to promote the growth of good flora in order to optimize digestive function. Millions of bacteria thrive in our intestine and play a vital role in our health, both in our immune system balance as well as in the digestion of many of our dietary components. It has been shown that human intestinal flora metabolize polysaccharides after ingestion of Aloe vera. Bland had shown earlier that ingestion of Aloe vera by healthy individuals aids in the health of the bacterial flora which in turn results in improved health of the digestive system as a whole. This was evidenced by better protein digestion when tested from urine samples.  Stomach acid balancing, soothing of the gastrointestinal tract, promoting growth of good bacteria and delivery of the wound hormone Acemannan are some of the properties that have made Aloe vera the plant of choice for ages. Daily oral consumption of Aloe vera can eliminate dependence upon both types of drugs commonly used to control excessive hydrochloric acid without any of the negative side effects. To reduce potential contamination of the digestive tract from pathogens it is important to consume properly processed organic Aloe vera inner leaf gel powder from a reputable source.

Skin Care

​By Dr. Santiago Rodriguez

​The majority of the abundant scientific information regarding Aloe vera and its multiple biological activities have been largely attributed to a complex carbohydrate or polysaccharide called Acemannan, which is the short name for poly β-1,4 mono-acetyl mannose1 . It has been shown the activity of Aloe depends on the Acemannan content. Accordingly, the greater the Acemannan content, the greater bioactivity and beneficial effect on skin care and wound healing. In fact, Acemannan is so important that the International Aloe Science Council has determined that if a product does not contain Acemannan it is not Aloe vera. This polysaccharide is found in the parenchyma of the aloe leaf, in a gelatinous structure that when separated from the aloe vera leaf rind, resembles the consistency of a fish filet, hence the familiar name, “Aloe fillet”, or “Aloe vera inner fillet gel”. The activities of Aloe were studied for decades now, and early studies determined that the two major fractions of Aloe were responsible for two major biological activities: 1) Anti-inflammatory Activity: found primarily on the lower molecular weight fraction. 2) Immunomodulatory activity: Found in the high molecular weight fraction. Several studies followed in order to determine if the immunomodulatory fraction would also have wound-healing ability and if this effect could be attained if the product was consumed orally. Studies using a rat animal model confirmed both effects. It was observed that if the Aloe was used topically as well as used orally that the difference in response was a significant improvement compared with a control sample. Aloe based products showed remarkable performance when used in burned skin, ranging in application from sun burn to radiation induced dermatitis. Aloe showed ability to stimulate fibroblast formation and increased collagen, thus contributing to skin repair. In fact Aloe showed significant acceleration of skin repair following dermabration compared with no additional treatment. Aloe penetrates the skin and has been studied successfully to facilitate intra-dermal administration of certain products. When used together with other compounds it appears that Aloe vera components penetrate the skin in a fashion inversely proportional to the molecular weight of accompanying components. It has been postulated that the reason for this is due to the heavier molecules more effectively inhibiting permeation by displacing the Aloe components from the penetration pathways, but conversely, leave more of the Aloe components free to associate with the added compound enhancing its transport through the skin barrier.  The Aloe components for this transport and the Aloe components that permeate the skin have not been identified; however, in separate unrelated studies it has been shown Acemannan has the capacity to form adducts and complexes with substances such as Congo Red11 and FITC12 making the potential use of the Aloe as a trans-dermal vehicle possible. The Bioactivity of the Acemannan depends largely on the treatment that it has been subjected to during the processing of the Aloe vera. This includes handling during harvesting and the drying technique. Improperly processed the Aloe can undergo stereo-chemical conformation changes that irreversibly damage the Acemannan resulting in impaired bio-availability and biological activity. Aloe vera processing should be focused on conserving biological activity while delivering the greatest amount of bio-available Acemannan. Certified organic freeze dried Aloe vera from a reputable source should be used for skin care and wounds to eliminate the possibility of pathogen contamination and to achieve the best skin care results.

​Aloe vera for Pet Health

By Dr. Santiago Rodriguez

Most scientific data available on Acemannan has been actually generated using animals, since this model allows us to extrapolate what could be the response in humans. However, when we consider the pet world, the results are even more comparable. Of course there is the difference in species, but from the dynamics of life expectancy and size, the results are more evident when we consider them for companion animals such as dogs and cats.   Moreover, actual toxicity data has been generated for an Acemannan rich Aloe vera extract, finding no toxicity when administered at a high dose (2,000 mg/Kg/day) for 6 months to Beagle dogs.

All living organisms depend on a system of defense to keep them clear from disease attack. In mammalian animals this immune system function is very sophisticated and it keeps the animals from getting infected by a host of diseases. A poorly functioning immune system leaves the animal prone to disease. There is clear evidence that orally consumed Acemannan present in Aloe vera juice modulates immune system function, thus contributing to overall pet health. Numerous studies indicate that it is the Acemannan in the Aloe vera that provides the immune system function support. However, it is imperative for this Acemannan to be bio‐available and immunomodulatory or else its functionality will be less.  Aloe Glow is a premium Aloe vera Freeze Dried powder, certified organic for added purity and safety, which contains the most bio‐available, immunomodulatory Acemannan of any product on the market today.   This immune system support activity of Aloe Glow was validated by Dr. Vetvicka in a recent study using rats in both in‐vivo and in‐vitro models showing a clear dose response immune modulating activit . A very important part of the immune system activity is tissue repair and wound healing. Early studies showed that Aloe vera inner leaf gel accelerated wound healing when administered both topically and orally to laboratory animals. Aloe Glow's topical applications are an excellent choice for treating wounds and burns in animals, and when used in a shampoo or soap, leaves the coat shiny and healthy looking.
