Aloe Vera- Immune System Support

The more immune system support you can give yourself, the better you body will be able to fight off the hepatitis on its own. There is one type of product that has proved to be so effective at helping the immune system, a new science has developed around it. The science of Glycobiology, which deals with the role of essential long chain carbohydrates in cellular communication. And as there have been numerous anecdotal reports with it helping with chronic viral infections, it may be an excellent way to give your immune system additional help in its fight against hepatitis.

To maintain a healthy body, cells must "talk" to each other. Their language is one of touch, written in saccharides (or simple sugars) on the cell surfaces. These simple sugars combine with other molecules to make glycoforms such as glycoproteins. Of the 200 monosaccharides that occur naturally in plants, 8 have been discovered to be components in the cell surface glycoforms (see Harper's Textbook of Biochemistry--1996). Like thousands of different "keys" projecting from the cell surface, they will either unlock the required functions of the adjoining cell or not. If the right keys are available, the body functions smoothly. If not, it doesn't. Acta Anatomica, which is a European journal, states that these simple sugars have a coding capacity that surpasses that of amino acids.

In March, 2001, Science Magazine dedicated virtually the entire magazine to the science of Glycobiology and the essential saccharides that make up these cellular communication keys.

The University of California, San Diego, announced the establishment of a Center for the further research and development of the Science of Glycobiology. And the President of the Royal Academy of Medicine in London, Dr. John Asford, said that "Sugars are going to be the molecules of the next decade.

Eclipse Magazine reviewed the results in Uganda where they are using these glyconutrients on AIDS and cancer patients and seeing remarkable results, and a child with Projeria (fast aging disease) who is experiencing reversal in his aging process once on glyconutrients.

The best source for these special, long chain carbohydrate molecules has proven to be properly processed aloe vera. One of the top researchers in the field, Dr. Danhof, gives some details on what it does.

The Aloe Vera MPS is a long chain sugar molecule composed of individual sugar molecules connected together in long linear chains. There is wide range in the size of the MPS molecule. The varying sizes determine their healing properties.

1. Anti-inflammatory and Blood Sugar Normalization - Small size molecules

MPS reduces inflammation Ñ which is involved in such diseases as ulcerative colitis, arthritis, and gastric reflux. Also helps with the reduction of blood sugar with both type I and II diabetes.

2. Free Radical Scavenger - Medium size molecules Whereas vitamins and minerals can only function outside the cells, MPS are effective intracellular antioxidant and free radical scavengers are very important in preventing and treating arteriosclerosis, heart disease and Parkinson's disease. With the ever-increasing chemical pollution all over the planet and loss of nutrients in the soil, the increase in free radicals and loss of cellular oxygen will only become worse with time.

3. Anti-Pathogenic - Large size molecules

Has a direct antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-yeast/fungus and anti-amoeba effect. This is important with all the new infectious diseases cropping up and the older ones becoming more virulent and mutation from long term use of antibiotics.

4. Immune System Enhancement - Very large size molecules

The very large molecules are immune modulating, which has a powerful healing effect on AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, other chronic infections, multiple chemical exposure, cancer, heart disease, auto-immune diseases and many other immune system disorders. MPS is important with the ever-increasing number of infectious diseases that are gradually becoming resistant to antibiotics.

The MPS molecule activates the Macrophage directly and through the liver to produce a cascade of healing effects: increases phagocytosis by the macrophage to engulf and destroy infected cells and damaged cells (the garbage eater in the body); increases interleukin and interferon levels in the body, which then increases the number and response of T-Cells and Monocytes; wound healing via fibroblast activity as well as dramatically increasing the growth of new cells and the anti-pathogenic response with viruses, bacteria, yeast fungus and amoebas. MPS also causes the body to produce tumor necrosis factor that destroys tumors by shutting off their blood supply.

Few products can positively affect the immune system in such a wide variety of ways and have so much science behind it showing that it does
