I placed some manopol on a side...then place a drop of my tainted blood on top...checked it in my scope (phase contrast 1600x) NOTHING was alive.

Does aloe kill?

Polyscaaroides are in aloe...the biofilms I read are polys too...could aloe break down this film?

Anyone?

I went on aloe big time for 1.5 days now...and I feel better. FOR REAL...I notied this before...its true.

wow.

James, I found the following:

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP1323738.html

quote:
A new composition of matter is provided comprising negatively charged polysaccharides which can be derived from Aloe vera and a process to prepare that composition of matter by sub fractionation of an extract of Aloe vera, passing the formed subfraction over a positively charged column and eluting the same with a salt solution. Optionally the Aloe vera is pre purified over a Sephadex G-25 column. This composition of matter and also the extract comprising the same which is formed after pre purification is useful as a food supplement or in dietary foods, for use in personal care and in cosmetics, especially to prevent an infection with Helicobacter pylori.

So if you could negative charge aloe vera and make it ionic. You would have a biofilm dissolver. So it appears, removing pathogenic biofilm is an ionic process.

Could exposing the aloe vera to negative ions possibly do the trick?

I also could expose aloe to a "special air purification treatment" that uses both negative AND positive ions..

Any clue here?

I dont have a clue...but somehow taking aloe makes me feel a little better! I am shocked.

I been reading about aloe..and it seems it would posses a ability to "dequalgulate" blood.

And my terrible fatigue appears to be due to this from massive years long infection loads.

I truely feel less fatigued on aloe.

I am very suprised.

I posted a topic on probiotics and biofilm. The person talks of using commensal probiotics. I now think the reason it is commensal has more to do with it being ionic. These kinds of probiotics come from fermented foods.

James, I am so troubled by fatigue that I may try the aloe. What brand do you take and how much ?

Aloe helped me in the past.

It's GREAT as a topical for burns--I grow the plants, and mush the fresh gel from the leaves of this succulent onto any burn. It heals very, very fast!! Good for sunburns also.

There are several aloe drinks on the market.

I haven't tried any of them for a long time. I'd be interested on any use of them in the recent past.

This sounds promising!

Best,

Cass A
