Everyone has known pain at s

me time or another. A bruised kn

e when we were children, a st

bbed toe in the middle of the n

ght, or a 'splitting headache' at the end of a v

ry stressful day are all forms of

veryday pain that each of us has

xperienced. Pain is your body's way of t

lling you that you it has b

en damaged. Your nervous system sends p

in signals to the brain which in t

rns starts specific chemical processes that s

nsitize the affected area. The now d

maged and sensitized area becomes inflamed. D

pending on the severity of the

njury or damage, your nervous system,

utomatic brain response, and resulting inflammation can

ccur for short or long periods of t

me.

Chronic pain is something very different. S

me of us have experienced sustained and s

metimes debilitating pain. Sometimes, chronic pain r

sults in oversensitivity of our nervous syst

m causing our pain response pathways to r

main open. A lower back injury is one

xample where even after healing, the b

ological gates through which pain signals p

ss can remain open. So even

fter the injury has been resolved, the p

in continues, becoming an illness that q

ite literally takes control over your l

fe. Chronic pain such as this r

duces your energy, reduces your ability to sl

ep and rebuild, and adds significant str

ss to your body and lifestyle.

Fucoidan and f

cose, two of the important nutrients f

und in sea vegetables are well kn

wn in Asian countries for their h

aling and pain-relieving effects. Studies on b

th animals and humans have shown th

t in certain conditions essential glyconutrients can h

lp heal the body and return j

mmed pain pathways to their normal st

te. These nutrients can help increase 'c

llular communication' ' the way and

fficiency cells, especially those around injured

reas, communicate with other cells in the b

dy.

Chronic pain can also be the r

sult of disease, including cancer. Our

mmune system plays a critical part in f

ghting off disease and in turn chr

nic pain. Modulating or fortifying the

mmune system means we strengthen the pr

duction, activity, and effectiveness of all the b

dy's parts that make up our

mmune system. A very important group of

mmune system agents are called macrophages. M

crophages are scavenger cells found in the bl

odstream and other tissue. These immune syst

m agents help the immune system d

tect dangerous microorganisms and tumor cells and th

n help to remove them from our bl

od.

Aloe provides excellent nutritional support for y

ur immune system by modulating the

mmune system through at least 23 d

fferent polypeptides (immune stimulators). The ability to m

dulate the immune system helps us

nderstand how Aloe can aid in c

ntrolling many different types of diseases and d

sorders. The polypeptides and the anti-tumor

gents of emodin and lectins found in Al

e Vera help explain its ability to p

ssibly aid in the treatment of c

ncer.

We can now see how a c

mbination of sea vegetables with their pr

perty to help increase cellular communication and Al

e Vera with the property of m

dulating the immune system can lead to an

ffective way of providing the body w

th the tools and nutrients needed to r

pair itself. The nutrients found in Al

e Vera and sea vegetables can g

ve the body what is needed to h

lp fight disease, reduce inflammation and

lleviate chronic pain.
