According to Dr. H.R. McDaniel, who has spent 16 years exploring the therapeutic nature of Aloe, its active ingredients are eight chains of Mannose sugars that form the eight essential sugars glucose, galactose, mannose, fructose, xylose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, and N-acetylneuraminic acid. The Mannose molecules join together to form a kind of starch (polysaccharide) known by a variety of names: acemannan, acetylated polymannans, polymannose, or APM.
Mannose Mannose appears to be the foundation of all the essential sugars. It is involved in so many fundamental cell actions that any deficiency of this one saccharide can lead to a host of physical problems. Called D-Mannose, this form is now sold as a remedy for UTIs (urinary tract infections), but it is capable of so much more. Like Xylose and Xylitol, Mannose also has its sugar alcohol in the form known as Mannitol.
Protein is still primary because without it we cannot utilize mannose, the human system must first convert it:
Mannose is a hexose, which means that it is a sugar with only six(6) carbons ( C6H12O6 ). The most common hexoses are glucose and fructose. Animals can only produce energy from glucose and fructose, so other hexoses, like mannose, have to be converted into glucose or fructose to be useable. For most enzymes to work with sugars, they need phosphate (-PO4) groups on the sugars to act as "handles". So, before mannose can be converted, hexokinase adds a phosphate group to mannose - making it phosphomannose. Now, another enzyme, phosphomannose isomerase, can convert phosphomannose into phospho- fructose, so that other enzymes in the body can convert phosphofructose into energy. So hexokinase phosphorylates mannose, so that phosphomannose isomerase can convert it into phosphofructose, which the body can use for energy. Notice how much of each of these enzymes is lysine.

It catalyzes the phosphorylation (adding a phosphor group) of glucose and other hexoses to form a hexose 6-phosphate.

Dr. Brice E. Vickery served in a submarine squadron in WWII. He received his doctorate from Lincoln Chiropractic College in 1951, did post graduate work, and studies at Spears Chiropractic Hospital in Denver, CO. He practiced 45 years and founded the Connecticut Holistic Chiropractic Offices. He authored The Pocket T.S. Line Manual, The Two–Edged Sword Diet, which conquers yeast infection and celiac disease and is a keystone in his Vickery Fibromyalgia Protocol. He authored numerous magazine articles and invented TVM (The Vickery Method of Chiropractic and Osteopathy), Platinum Essential Amino Acids Plus, US Pat. 6,203,820, and European patents. He introduced Vickery Sea Plant Minerals and Glyconutrients, providing correct amounts of iodine, and Sea–AloeGold, combining ten thousand years of healing and is proven applicable for GERD, celiac disease, and chronic infections. After practicing 50 years, he is now President of SuperNutrient Corporation, a nutritional consultant, and teacher.
