A renowned natural healer, Aloe Vera has been utilized externally for thousands of years on burns, cuts and scrapes. Recently, researchers have found that the aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides can be stabilized and extracted from the raw plant, through a careful freeze-drying process, which discards the irritants, enzymes and mineral salts found in the raw Aloe Vera plant.

Through this technique, the benefits extend far beyond its previous skin-healing

properties. People with severe digestive disorders are relieving symptoms in a way they never believed possible - without drugs and their dangerous and painful side effects. The aloe mucilaginous polysaccharide molecules heal internally.

Aloe Vera has been an important part of mankind's medicine chest for more than 4000 years. It is thought to have originated in tropical Africa where it was used to treat poison arrow wounds. From there it moved through all the major civilizations and quickly became popular for its amazing healing powers

Aloe plant materials are widely known for their uses in folk medicine, particularly for their ability to aid healing of minor coetaneous wounds and for protection of skin cells. Several in vitro studies have shown Aloe substances stimulate fibroblast and epithelial cell growth and induce lection-like responses in immune cells involved in skin wound repair processes.

In our present studies, we quantitatively tested Aloe substances extracted from whole leaves and gel filets for their comparative effects on induction of proliferation in fibroblast cells and, for the first time, in neuron-like cells. Aloe gel substances were found to significantly increase proliferation in suspension treated neuron-like cells to a greater level than that detected in similarly treated fibroblast cells in short term cultures. In long term cultures of cells treated only once, Aloe substances maintained both cells viability at different doses of Aloe.

These studies demonstrate for the first time that partially purified substances in

Aloe extracts can stimulate the growth of neuron-like cells in vitro, therefore extending the range of types of cells highly reactive with Aloe substances
