Aloe Vera (HAD)
HIV, Infection
Bland, J. Medical Tribune, August 1991, pg. 4.
Aloe Vera may help in the early stages of HIV.
14 HIV patients were given acemannan (a water-soluble, long-chain polydispersed beta - (l,4)
- linked mannan polymer interspersed with O-acetyl groups found in Aloe vera, is a potent
immunostimulant) orally at 800 mgs per day. A significant increase in the number of
circulating monocytes and macrophages were noted, which increased infection fighting
capacities.
Digestion, Candidiasis
Bland, J. Natural Foods Network Newsletter, August 1985.
Aloe Vera can aid in protein digestion and assimilation and decreases Candida colonies.
Ten patients (half male, half female) were given 6 ozs of aloe vera juice 3x daily for one
week. Urinary indican levels decreased one full unit, indicating the increase of protein
absorption. Gastric PH increased by 1.88 units and stool cultures reported a decrease in
Candida albicans colonies.
Abrasions
Gottlieb, Karen Ph.D. Aloe Vera Heals - the Scientific Facts, 1980, Chapter 4.
Aloe Vera greatly aids in the healing process of wounds, radiation and thermal burns.
A study conducted by T.C. Barnes divided volunteers into two groups to treat abrasive
wounds on the fingertips induced by sandpaper. One group was treated with petroleum jelly
only and the other with fresh aloe vera leaf in the petroleum jelly. The aloe treated group's
wounds healed twice as fast as the control group.
AIDS
McDaniel, H.R. American Journal of Clinical Pathology, Vol. 94, pgs. 516-7, 1990.
Aloe Vera may help in the early stages of HIV.
Fifteen AIDS patients received 800 mgs orally of acemannan (a water-soluble, long-chain
polydispersed beta -[1,4] - linked mannan polymer interspersed with O-acetyl groups found in
Aloe vera, is a potent immunostimulant) for 900 days. Absolute T-4 , absolute T-8 and p24
core antigen levels core antigen levels improved in all surviving patients. (2 died, 1
committed suicide)
AIDS, HIV
Pulse, T.L. and Uhlig, E. Advanced Medicine, Vol. 3, pgs. 209-230, 1990.
Aloe Vera may help in the early stages of HIV.
Fifteen AIDS patients, 12 patients with AIDS related complex and 2 HIV seropositive
patients were given 20 0zs of aloe vera juice along with a multi vitamin, amino acid and
essential fatty acids supplements for 180 days. Regular medication was continued. All
patients showed clinical improvement, with 25% of those positive for the p24 core antigen
converted to nonreactive status, while anemia caused by the AZT therapy improved and all
patients gained an average of 7% in body weight.
Asthma
Shida, T. Planta Medica, Vol. 51, pgs. 273-275, 1985.
Aloe Vera produces significant symptomatic improvements in the treatment of asthma
patients who don’t have a cortisone dependency.
27 asthma patients with non corticosteroid dependency were given an extract of aloe vera in
saline of 5 milliliters a day for 24 weeks. 11 patients (44%) reported significant symptomatic
improvements.
Ulcers
Zawahry, M., Hegazy, MR., and Helal, M. International Journal of Dermatology, Vol. 12,
pgs. 68-73, 1973
Aloe Vera can help with peptic ulcers.
12 patients with x-ray confirmed peptic ulcers were given 1 tbsp of an emulsion of aloe vera
in mineral oil once daily. All patients demonstrated complete recovery after one year of
treatment.
Ulcers
Zawahry, M., Hegazy, MR., Helal, M. International Journal of Dermatology, Vol. 12, pgs. 6873, 1973.
Aloe Vera heals chronic leg ulcers.
Three patients with chronic leg ulcers of 5, 7 and 15 year durations, were given aloe vera gel
on a gauze bandage daily. A rapid reduction in ulcer size and complete healing occurred in 2
out of the 3 patients.
