One cancer in particular, fibrosarcoma, appeared to be especially susceptible to this treatment. In subsequent studies the anticancer effect of Acemannan was confirmed. The results obtained were significant and Carrington Laboratories was able to obtain a conditional USDA license for the use of Acemannan Immunostimulant as an adjunct to surgery in the treatment of fibrosarcomas in dogs and cats. These results have been published. You can read about them in Molecular Biotherapy Vol 3, 1991.
Many people believe that extracts of Aloe vera have the ability to reduce inflammation.
As a result, Aloe vera is a common constituent of sunburn lotions and other soothing medicines. Carrington Laboratories is undertaking a major research program designed to identify the active components and to determine just how it reduces inflammation. Studies have demonstrated that Carrington Dermal Wound Gel significantly reduced the inflammation caused by radiotherapy in a mouse model. Integrins play a role in inflammation since they permit inflammatory cells to leave the bloodstream and enter damaged tissues. Components within Aloe vera gel bind to these integrins and block their function.
