Acetylated
Mannans
Acetylated mannans are the biologically active component in
fresh Aloe vera L. gel.
Acemannan, a mucopolysaccharide, is a long chain sugar which
interjects itself into all cell membranes. This results in
an increase in the fluidity and permeability of the membrane
allowing toxins to flow out of the cell more easily and nutrients
to enter the cell. This results in improved cellular metabolism
throughout the body and an overall boost in energy production. Acemannan
has been shown to possess a unique combination of immumodulatory
and antiviral properties. The vicious cycle of maldigestion
and cellular starvation is finally broken as the acemannan
normalizes absorption of nutrients and increases tolerance
for allergenic foods. The immune system is now stronger, under
control, and better prepared for any new threat.
According to John C. Pittman, M.D.:
Galactomannans are a class of long chain sugars derived
from plants, which have been shown in laboratory and clinical
studies
to have a wide variety of immune stimulating and protective
effects within the body. In studying the different sources
of this polymer, it has been discovered that the Aloe barbadensis
plant contains the greatest concentration of acetylated mannan
which is also the most active form of mannans. This "acemannan" has
been shown to have many effects in the body, mostly impacting
on the gastrointestinal and immune Systems, which are intricately
related. Before elaborating on acemannan's beneficial effects,
it is appropriate to discuss the type of pathology often present
in individuals experiencing immune system depression.
The most striking commonality found in individuals suffering
with immuno-depressive conditions (Epstein-Barr virus, Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome, systemic candidiasis, HIV infection and others)
is their high incidence of digestive dysfunction and maldigestion.
This has several effects that contribute to stress on the immune
system and therefore its weakening.
As the biologic activities of Aloe Vera derived acemannan have
been elucidated, it has been shown to have a remarkable ability
to normalize all of these damaging processes and therefore
contribute significantly to the enhancement of immune system
function. In the intestinal system, acemannrin acts as a potent
anti-inflammatory agent, neutralizing many of the enzymes responsible
for damaging the mucosal wall. This results in decreased leakiness
of the intestinal wall and less absorption of allergic stimulating
foreign protein. Acemannan has direct virucidal, bactericidal,
and fungicidal properties which can help control Candida overgrowth
so that normal gastrointestinal bacterial flora can be restored.
Acemannan also stimulates intestinal motility, helping to move
allergenic proteins into the colon. All these processes help
to normalize gastrointestinal wall structure and function and
therefore stop the vicious macrophages, killer T-cells, and
monocytes, as well as increasing the number of antibody forming
B-cells in the spleen. Acemannan also protects the bone marrow
from damage by toxic chemicals and drugs such as AZT.
