One is a study conducted in 1996 by Odus M. Hennessee, a known herbalist who wrote: In 1983, I began to investigate an interesting puzzle – why Aloe vera works! Today, if a friend, neighbor, or even a physician asks me why it works, I tell them it works because the Aloe vera plant produces at least six antiseptic agents: Lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamonic acid, phenols, and sulphur. All of these substances are recognized as antiseptics because they kill or control mold, bacteria, fungus, and viruses, explaining why the plant has the ability to eliminate many internal and external infections.
The Lupeol and salicylic acid in the juice explains why it is a very effective pain-killer. Next, I say that Aloe vera contains at least three anti-inflammatory fatty acids, cholesterol, camper sterol and B-sitosterol (plant sterols) which explains why it is a highly effective treatment for burns, cuts, scrapes, abrasions, allergic reactions, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, acid indigestion, ulcers, plus many inflammatory conditions of the digestive system and other internal organs, including the stomach, small intestine, colon, kidney, and pancreas.
B-sitosterol is also a powerful anti-cholestromatic which helps to lower harmful cholesterol levels, helping to explain its many benefits for heart patents. If we add that Aloe contains at least 23 polypeptides (immune stimulators), then we understand why Aloe juice helps control a broad spectrum of immune system diseases and disorders, including HIV and AIDS. The polypeptides, plus the anti-tumor agents Aloe emodin and Aloe lectins, explains its ability to control cancer.
