Alpha Omega Labs'
New Entries For 2003

We occasionally get interesting mail that neither fits the description of a testimonial or merits inclusion in our monthly Ashwin. Yet, for its wit, originality, newsworthiness, or even thoughtful provocation, we feel other Alpha Omega customers might want to read it.
With names removed to protect privacy (unless otherwise granted) -- here, then, are our latest, selected mailbox excerpts --- [Read previous Mailbox Excerpts from July '02, and August through December, '02.]

Subject: Acemannans -- Is this the same as the 1,000:1 I've been hearing about?

Aloe Vera Acemannan - 60 Caps I've been hearing much lately about potent Aloe Products and proprietary extraction processes, etc. from many companies and I am trying as a consumer to make an informed decision.
For example, there's Dr. Wheeler's MPS-GOLD, the proprietary freeze-dried Aloe Vera powder (comprised of long chain, high molecular weight manose/galactose carbohydrate molecules. See website: mhttp://www.0disease.com).

MPS-GOLD is manufactured by Carrington Labs, unfortunutely Carrington extracts the very long/high molecular weight mannans for pharmaceutical purposes. So, basically your only getting the high, medium, and low molecular weight mannans, which are still good. But very little if any of the very long / high molecular weight, because of Carrington's extraction method. Our associates know Dr. Wheeler personally and he's been using this marketing approach for the past 8 years.

Then there's Mole-Cures A.M.P Aloe Vera capsules or powder. They say their A.M.P. Molo-Cure® is concentrated: (1,000 to 1). Due to this patented extraction process, no other Aloe product in existence contains similar concentration levels of Stabilized Mucilaginous Polysaccharides molecules. It takes approximately 8 GALLONS of fresh 100% Aloe Vera gel to make just ONE OUNCE of A.M.P. Molo-Cure®! 1,000 to 1 concentration calculation; 8 gal. = 1,024 fl. oz. 100% Aloe Vera gel. Process extracts and stabilizes the A.M.P. molecules, - 1 oz. product remaining. (Rounded; 1000 to 1 concentration of stabilized Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides.) Their web site is: http://www.molocure.com/compare.shtml#process

200:1 is highest concentration that exists, period. The math makes this obvious: you get 0.5% (1 part per 200) of the high quality solid, of which about 25 to 35% is acemannan, out of good inner leaf gel. How do you get 1,000:1 to one of our this --- it's just nonsense. More marketing hype. Our aloe vendor has been aware of this company for some time now and have spoke to them several times. Admittedly, they also buy from Carrington Labs.

I could go on and on but these seem to be the top two.
Then I was looking at your site as I haven't been to it lately, and I saw that you have an Aloe Product that contains long chain acemannans, etc. Is this all the same thing: acemannans, mucilaginous pollysaccharides, high molecular weight manose/galactose carbohydrate molecules, etc.?

Our Acemannan product is different from the other two sites you have references. There is a fundamental difference between the results you get in freeze-drying versus low temperature dehydration:

Freeze dried = up to 500,000 - 800,000 daltons
Dehydrated = up to 1,000,000 - 2,000,000 daltons

In the past, I have used your Cansema product on myself and my dog, and it is nothing short of miraculous. So, of course, I'm interested in your aloe, but wanted to get your opinion on all of this. The other aloe products look great, but are EXTREMELY expensive. Yours is so inexpensive it seems too good to be true. Are the products similar in ingredients and effectiveness. Do they do the same thing or what?
I appreciate any honest info.

Our product is what we say it is: it is the solid 200:1 concentrate from the inner leaf gel, not the whole leaf. Acemannan content from these aloe solids will vary, but using the dehydration process our vendor employs it will vary in the range of 25 to 35%. People who know us, know we shoot from the hip. This business, unfortunately, is high on hype -- and although we're not comfortable taking on others in the nutraceutical market to task for misrepresentation, sometimes it's unavoidable.

. . . and on July 25th, 2003, we received 'aloe' query . . .

Dear Sir, I´m very interested in aloe vera acemannan. I´m a practitioner in Austria und we know the products of FLP - Forever Living Products. They promote drinks with aloe vera specially stabilized with Vitamin C and E by various temperatures. My question is, if this drink contains remarkable amounts of acemannan.

Our product is a 200:1 dehydrated product. It is much stronger than the aloe beverages that the MLM companies carry --- and this includes Forever Living. Please keep in mind, as well, that MLM companies have to markup products 5 to 10 times in order to support their marketing efforts, most noticeably the downline commissions. You will not find a comparable product to this one in the MLM channels, and if you do, the price will be much higher.
As for getting the product quickly, call Jean Butterlin,our distributor for continental Europe. See http://altcancer.net/facil.htm#sw
