| Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic degenerative disease in which gradual destruction of the myelin sheath protecting the nerves occurs in patches throughout the brain or spinal cord, affecting transmission of electrical signals to nerve cells and causing muscular weakness and loss of coordination. It is a disease found only in humans which seems to affect more women than men and usually appears between the ages of 15-45. It is thought to be triggered when immune cells are able to pass through the normally impenatrable blood brain barrier into the central nervous system and begin to attack the myelin. The blood brain barrier may be compromised because of an earlier broad spectrum immune reaction that damaged it while in the process of attacking other foreign matter. A major factor in some cases of multiple sclerosis may be a diet that includes foods that cause immune reactions in some people predisposed to MS, such as wheat, milk, eggs, and foods high in saturated fats. Other causes may include chemical poisoning, bacteria and viruses. Aspartame "poisoning" and Lyme Disease symptoms may mimic those of multiple sclerosis. In addition, many people suffering from Multiple Sclerosis have malabsorption problems, meaning their body has problems getting the minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients out of the food they eat.* |

| 32. | MS Breakthrough... Dr. Zamboni's research suggests that MS is not, as widely believed, an autoimmune condition, but a vascular disease. He found repeated references, dating back a century, to excess iron as a possible cause of MS. The heavy metal can cause inflammation and cell death. Dr. Zamboni made a startling find: in more than 90 per cent of people with multiple sclerosisthe veins draining blood from the brain were malformed or blocked. He hypothesized that iron was damaging the blood vessels and allowing the heavy metal, along with other unwelcome cells, to cross the crucial brain-blood barrier. When Dr. Zamboni performed a simple operation to unclog veins and get blood flowing normally again, many of the symptoms of MS disappeared. |
| M.S. Patients Outcry for Unproved Treatment... Pressure from activists helped persuade the Multiple Sclerosis Society to pay for studies of Dr. Zamboni’s theory. The Multiple Sclerosis Societies in the United States and Canada will spend $2.4 million over the next two years on studies at seven centers. Researchers in Buffalo have confirmed (but not yet published) that narrowed veins and abnormal blood flow are more common in people with multiple sclerosis. |

| 36. | Uses of Aloe Products, e.g. Acemannan, in the Treatment of Diseases Requiring Intervention of the Immune System for Cure Acemannan has been shown to be effective in treating a number of conditions where the principal mechanism of resolution or cure requires intervention by the patient's immune system. Acemannan has direct stimulatory effects on the immune system. In addition, acemannan directly interacts with virus or other infectious organisms, infected cells, and tumor cells to produce changes in their immunologically sensitive surface composition to alter the appearance of these agents and cause them to be recognized by the body's immune system and then destroyed. This document contains 51 examples on research and studies of acemannan for wide range of diseases including multiple sclerosis (17). The patient...began taking approximately 500 mg oral acemannan daily. The patient observed no change in the status of the disease until about 10 weeks had elapsed at which time she reported feeling better than at any time in the previous year. Two weeks later she was able to walk longer distances using the walker and in one more month was able to walk with the use of only a cane. The patient has maintained this level for more than 10 months while continuing to consume about 500 mg acemannan per day with no other concurrent therapy. [Another patient] was started on 800 mg/day oral acemannan and an extensive exercise program. Six weeks after therapy initiation, she was able to go on an ocean cruise with limited physical support. At 6 months she reported that her neurologist indicated that plaques visualized by NMR techniques had regressed. The patient continues to experience remission of the symptoms associated with MS.

| 37. | Administration of Acemannan Exampele 28: The antiviral properties of acemannan noted in tissue cultures, animals, and humans led to the early effort to investigate whether multiple sclerosis would respond to an immune modulating complex polysaccharide. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is released by activated monocytes under induction by LPS. Mannans are the biologically active moiety in L.P.S., as in acemannan. Activated neurite processes extend from neurons to induce Schwann cells to produce myelin to encircle and restore neural impulse transmission to injured and non-functional nerves. This latter sequence of events, induced by acemannan, undoubtedly is active in the repair and restoration of multiple sclerosis patient nerve function. The return of nerve function in M.S. patients treated with acemannan follows the classical progression of return of nerve function seen in selected cord lesions applied experimentally in animals and seen in human trauma.
