Also, I was lead to believe that Mann. owns the patent on the stabilization of the healing component in aloe vera and that no other company that has aloe listed in the ingredients utilizes the important components???? true or false?

According to Dr Bill McAnnalley who along with Dr Reg McDaniel created and hold the patent on A---tose, there are 10 sugars in it.

I was thinking about the 'essential sugars' and how A-tose is, according to the patent, 48% arabinogalactan. Arabinogalactan contains a glyconutrient called arabinose which is not one of the 8 essential sugars. I am just thinking, WHAT IF, and dont hold me to this, but what if those particular 8 sugars are a marketing ploy so that no one can really make an effective blend on their own? I mean, who is looking to put arabinose in their homemade version of glyconutrients? Who is looking for other sources of arabinose? What if arabinose is super important and the main educators left that out of their literature but put it in their product, making it almost half arabinose? There are over 200 glycoprotiens/nutrients so why market those particular 8 when the effective product you make has only five of those eight and REALLY is mostly a Sugar that you have not even mentioned?!!

I have found that nothing is effective without arabinogalactin and LONG CHAIN polysaccharide aloe vera. (which contain 8 glycoprotiens, but only 5 of which have been deemed 'essential'.The other 3, like arabinose, we don't hear about)

DO you think its possible that arabinose should be included in the 8 making it 9? DO you think that we need to step out of the cliche' of 8 essential sugars?
Again, Just a thought!
