Aloe is indigenous to Africa but it is being cultivated all over the world. The best well known and common species of aloe is of course aloe vera, but actually there over 300 other species of aloe. Aloe Vera has been used for treatments and as a remedy since ancient times. Aloe is mostly safe to use for humans both topically and orally and is reported to be non-toxic even when injected in high doses.

Aloe has been studied extensively in Japan, Russia and also in Madagascar. There is a lot of evidence that aloe is useful as a non-specific immune stimulator and immune modulator. Not only is aloe a potential adjuvant therapy for cancer, it is also valuable for patients who immune functions have been compromised by mainstream therapies.

In studies carried out in 1980 and 1981 at the Pasteur Institute in Madagascar, the researchers found out that mice given a hypodermic injection of unrefined Aloe vahombe extract were all safe against infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae, Yersinia pestis, Candida albicans fungus and Plasmodium berghei parasites. In 1988 it was found that aloe inhibited the metabolism of arachidonic acid. One product of this acid suppresses the activity of immune cells that are part of the body's surveillance against cells of the cancer.

An evaluation of antimetastatic properties of aloe[ usefulness in potentiating the effectiveness of chemotherapy was carried out by two Russian researchers. They found out from their research that aloe treatment contributed to a reduction of the mass of the tumor, metastasis frequency and metastatic foci at different stages of tumor progress without affecting major tumor growth, using three types of experimental tumors in rats and mice.

S.Y. Peng in another animal study found that acemannan increased sarcomabearing mice survival. Acemannan, in both highly purified and enriched forms, was administered intraperitoneally to mice to which murine sarcoma cells had been subcutaneously implanted. The invasive, highly malignant and rapidly growing sarcoma grew in 100% of implanted control animals. This resulted in in mortality in 20 to 46 days. About 40% of animals treated with acemannan at the time of implantation of the tumor cell (1.5 x 10(6) cells) survived.

The treatments that are used by doctors to cure cancer are very similar to the torture in the middle-ages. Why do cancer patients have to go through such pain and suffering? It is strange for a normal person to understand why we use treatments for curing cancer that do more harm than good. The answer to it of course is politics.

People who use chemotherapy or radiation go through slow torture and and all the chemicals and radiation slowly kills the body. It is very hard to see someone you love go through this kind of a treatment for even for a day. But very often this torture goes on for years until the inevitable happens - death. These treatments are also very expensive and when a person you love is dying from this disease, someone is making a fortune from all the money they get from all the dying cancer patients. Not only are people being tortured, they are paying to get tortured. But anyway lets take a look at the so called "conventional" cancer treatments - surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.

Surgery

If you have for example breast, colon, prostate spleen or any other common cancers then a tumor is found usually. This happens to around 90% of people every single year. Then the surgeon or the oncologist suggests removing it with surgery. The truth is that you will be worse off for having the surgery, even if you make a recovery. Surgical removal may often cause metastasis that may not have occurred otherwise. Even a very small cancer tumor contains billions of cancer cells and even if a 99% of the tumor is removed, your cancer is very likely to recur. Surgery should be the very last option in your list. There are hundreds of different natural treatments that are proven to work.

Chemotherapy

You can also call it poisoning of the cells with cytotoxic drugs. That[ what it is. Chemotherapy uses a mix of toxic drugs to poison the cells as they divide. The cancer cells are dividing constantly to form new malignant cancer cells. But billions of healthy cells are also dividing constantly. The problem is that the chemotherapy drugs can´t tell the difference between healthy cells and normal cells. The reason why so many cancer patients lose their hair is that, the fastest dividing cells are in your hair. All the healthy cells that are in your organs for example are killed. The destruction of the healthy cells causes enormous pain for the patients.

Radiation

The third conventional treatment for cancer is radiation. For some tumors radiation is effective in reducing the size of the tumor, but that is it. The side effects are very significant most of the time. Like with chemotherapy radiation also does not distinguish between cancer cells and normal cells. Patients who have had radiation or chemotherapy never recover the antioxidant levels in their bodies.

Why are the doctors not using alternative treatments then, instead of these brutal treatments? Well most of the doctors are well meaning, they just get caught up in the system. The money that is got from chemotherapy mostly drives the whole system. And we all know that money makes the world go round.

It has long been believed that cancer is much different from all the other disease. Cancer is suppose to be like a fire, once it has started it can not be stopped. That is why we have to cut out the cancer, radiate it or kill it chemically, since the cancerous cells in the body will never turn back to normal. But in fact this assumption is not true at all.

All cancers are similar and are caused by a single parasite called the human intestinal fluke, according to Hulda Regehr Clark. If the parasite is killed then the cancer stops and cells become normal again. This parasite usually lives in the intestine where it might do little harm, causing irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, Crohn's disease, or absolutely nothing. But this parasite can do a lot of harm if it invades some other organ liver, kidney or the uterus.

It causes cancer if it establishes itself in the liver. The parasite only establishes itself in the liver in some people. These people have isopropyl alcohol in their bodies. All cancer victims have both intestinal fluke and isopropyl alcohol in their liver. In order to get cancer, one must have both the parasite and isopropyl alcohol in the body.

The scientific name for the human intestinal fluke is Fasciolopsis buskii. Flukes are one of the families of flatworms. The parasite has been studied since at least 1925, so it is not unknown. The parasite has many different stages it has to go through in order to keep reproducing. The first is the egg stage. Adult parasites can actually produce millions of these eggs. They pass out of us with the bowel movement. The adult, though, stays tightly stuck and causes many diseases that depend on the location of the parasite.

The tiny sores that we sometimes get with little lesions in our intestines from time to time allow the eggs to be pulled into the blood stream. Some of these eggs hatch in the blood or intestine. The microscopic hatchlings are the second stage and called miracidia. The liver of course will kill them as the blood
arrives from the intestine. The parasites have little chance against normal healthy people.

But if isopropyl alcohol is in the body the liver is unable to trap and kill these tiny fluke stages. This allows them to make their home in the liver and other tissues. They starts to multiply in people with
isopropyl alcohol in their body. The miracidia then start to make little balls inside themselves, called redia. Each redia (ball) is alive and pops itself out of the miracidia to reproduce itself in turn. 40 redia can
each make 40 more redia! All this can come out of one single egg.

These redia are go along in your blood, landing in whatever tissue lets it in. Breasts with benign lumps, smokers' lungs, prostate glands full of heavy metals are examples of tissues that can let these redias in. They multiply very quickly nesting in the liver and other organs and then they change their shape sprout a tail and start swim again. These are called cercaria.

After the cercaria finds a place to attach itself, their tails disappear and they start to grow a "cocoon". Now they are called metacercaria. They develop an extremely thick shell around them. The solvent isopropyl alcohol in your body dissolve this tough shell. When the shell is gone they grow into adult flukes in your cells that are dying and organs that are damaged provide food for the baby stages.

All the stages of the parasite are eating and sucking and devouring your vital body fluids. When you have adult human intestinal fluke parasites in your liver, a growth factor that is called ortho-phospho-tyrosine emerge. This growth factor makes cells divide. Then your cells start to divide as well and this means cancer.
