It is crucial that the Aloe not be heated or use any damaging filtering in order to protect the size and shape thus maximize the number of these magnificent complex sugars.

• Heat breaks down the biological structure of these intricate sugars. These mucopolysaccharides begin to break apart above body temperature as do all living, biological designs.
• Filtering processes that filter out water, aloin and other constituents can also break down and/or remove these large polysaccharides along with the "unwanted" substances.

Dr. Davis' research on fresh Aloe Vera has shown that the polysaccharide's properties are best demonstrated when they remain intact, within the entire Aloe molecule. It is in this whole form, as originally designed by Nature, balanced with the other 250+ and intricately laced within a base of water, that the polysaccharides are most biologically active, biologically available and have the biological "wisdom" to -

• be able to move so dramatically through the cells and tissues of the body
• survive the digestive system and be taken up into the lymph system to be available throughout the body
• "communicate" with and be recognized and utilized by cells of the body
• "know" where and how to go and fit receptor sites of various cells including macrophages and fibroblasts (tissue production cells)
• To have the supportive cofactors necessary for all these biological activities and processes.
