Important Highlights on Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides (AMP) Research

Doctors, Patients and Researchers Worldwide are talking about the miraculous healing powers of the Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharide (A.M.P.) Molecule.

The potential for healing has expanded significantly since the discovery of Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides (AMP). Many experts have written a great deal about the Aloe Vera plant's functional component. The following is a brief description of what some of these experts have said or written.

Dr. John C. Pitmann, M.D. on Digestion and the IMMUNE System.

Dr. Pitmann has said that all people suffering from immunodepressive conditions have a high incident of digestive dysfunction and mal-digestion. He also has written immensely on how Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides (AMP) affect the Immune system through digestion as inseparable components of health. Dr. Pitmann has said:

" Poor digestion results in two primary problems: 1. Food is not broken down into the elemental building blocks necessary for the body to rebuild itself and generate energy for metabolism. At a cellular level, toxins are not removed from the cells, sufficient nutrients are not moved into the cell, and not enough energy is produced for cell functioning. This affects all cells including the Immune system cells such as white blood cells, which then lack the fuel and the oxygen to carry out their normal function. 2. Even more significant is that mal-digestion results in food remnants in the gut causing several pathological reactions. First, there is irritation of the intestines, causing increased permeability of the cells in the intestinal wall. Undigested protein can then leak across into the lymph system and then into the general circulation, with the Immune system reacting to contain the foreign invaders. The Immune system becomes overtaxed and runs down. Oxygen and fuel gets used up; the Immune cells wear out faster and do not reproduce in sufficient numbers. Undigested food remnants can also become a breeding ground for Candida and several times of parasites. Candidiasis produces toxins that cause increased digestion dysfunction, food allergies, fatigue and a host of other problems. Ultimately, this causes the Immune system to become even further depressed.

The inflammation in the intestines cause further damage by causing reactions that produce oxidative free radicals as waste by-products. Then negatively charged oxygen molecules begin to chop holes in cell membranes in an attempt to grab a positive charge. This results in further damage to the intestinal walls and ever increasing permeability. The leaky gut syndrome increases with more food particles going into the blood.

Research has shown that Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides (AMP) have a remarkable ability to normalize all of these damaging processes, which has the effect of enhancing the Immune system function through improved digestion. Aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides act as a potent anti-inflammatory agent, stopping the damage and leakage of the intestinal wall, thereby taking the stress off the Immune system.

Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides (AMP) have direct anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal/yeast and anti-parasite effects. Chronic yeast growth can be controlled so the normal, healthy flora can then thrive more easily. Therefore, the macrophages, monocytes, antibodies and T-cells are stimulated. Phagocytes (when large white blood cells engulf particles) is dramatically increased to ingest foreign proteins, such as the HIV virus. Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides (AMP) increases the number and intensity of all Immune cells in the body.

The key to integrating healthy digestion with a healthy Immune system is the oral ingestion of Aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides. "



The Fundamentals by : Dr. Ivan Danhof, M.D., Ph.D.

Dr. Danhof, by many, is said to be the leading authority on the Aloe Vera plant. He has extraordinary credentials: M.S. in Nutrition and Microbiology, Ph.D. in Physiology, B.S. in biology and chemistry, and a Medical Degree with specialties in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology. He has written 80 research papers throughout his career. Also, he served as a Fulbright Scholar in Afghanistan investigating Botanical Medicine.

The following has been said by Dr. Danhof:
"The Aloe Vera mucilaginous polysaccharide is a long chain sugar molecule composed of individual mannose and glucose sugar molecules connected together. There is a wide range in the size of the mucilaginous polysaccharide molecule.
The varying sizes determine their healing properties :
1. Small = 50-600 molecules. Reduces inflammation, 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 type II diabetes
2. Medium = up to 1500 molecules. Where as vitamins and minerals can only function outside the cells, mucilaginous polysaccharides are very effective intracellular antioxidants and free radical scavengers-very important in preventing and treating arteriosclerosis, heart disease and Parkinson's disease. With the ever increasing pollution on 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. This makes Aloe Vera mucilaginous polysaccharides are even more important than ever.
3. Large = up to 5,000 molecules. Has a direct anti-bacterial and anti-viral effect. Important with all the new infectious diseases cropping up and the older ones becoming more virulent from long term use of antibiotics.
4. Very large = up to 9,000 molecules. The very large molecules are Immune modulating, which have a powerful healing effect on many different Immune system disorders. This large molecule also causes the body to produce a natural chemical, tumor necrosis factor, that functions to shut off the blood supply to tumors.

The mucilaginous polysaccharide molecule is very fragile. When the leaf is cut, enzymes in the plant are released which breaks down the long chains sugars of the mucilaginous polysaccharide into simpler sugars, which then results in a loss of the different healing properties. There are very few products on the market that can claim to contain stabilized mucilaginous polysaccharides.

Stabilization requires extraction of the mucilaginous polysaccharides in a freeze dried form; but also the process must include a way to deactivate the enzymes released in the plant when it is cut. Therefore, the high concentration of mineral salts found in Aloe Vera gel must be separated from the final extract because they are very irritating to the gut . An Aloe product must be very soothing to the gut to promote healing.

Synergism is a property that many of the large Aloe companies promote who do not have the patented technology to extract stabilized mucilaginous polysaccharides. In other words, man of these companies claim that all 200 of the various ingredients found in Aloe Vera must be present for healing to occur. But none of these c claims have any basis of scientific research. There is, on the other hand, and abundance of scientific research to prove that the mucilaginous polysaccharide is the sole ingredient responsible for all the healing properties attributed to Aloe."

The Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides (AMP) molecule is PROVEN to be non-toxic. It is a food chemical, and a complex carbohydrate. Gallen marshal, M.D., Ph.D., professor of immunology and allergy at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston injected 50 medical students in 1993 with Aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides, with FDA approval. This confirmed d that there were no toxic side effects. There was no toxicity in the bone marrow, liver, kidneys, and cells in general.


Autoimmune Related Diseases

The body's natural defense mechanism against disease (the Immune system), is highly dependent upon the absorption of nutrients to fuel it's function. Proper absorption of essential nutrients is key. Without this, the Immune system is unable to fight off potential disease or to effectively battle against existing conditions. In other words, the body's ability to recover from disease or fight off potential diseases without significant essential nutrients is, for the most part, is impossible.

The proper absorption of nutrients is KEY !
