Han van de Braak is a Chartered Physiotherapist, Registered Acupuncturist and Naturopath who started his Integrated Medicine Practice in 1988. His solo practice continues to grow - predominantly via word of mouth - beyond its present size of 4,950 patients (Nov 2005). It was because of his daughter's eczema that he took an interest in aloe vera and started to do research. Very unhappy with the products that were available, Han decided to produce a product that is unparralled and exactly this he has done. Aloeride® is a 100% pure herbal yet manufactured uniquely to pharmaceutical GMP (classified as grade D (EU grade) / class 100,000 (US class Federal Standard 209E) / ISO 8) and, because the amount of working ingredients in Aloeride® is a great many times higher than in other aloe products, it is easy to understand why researched phytochemical effects manifest themselves without disappointment. Han firmly ventures beyond just making and selling Aloeride®, he writes useful Newsletters on topics such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome to name but two. Via this website he answers questions (in strict confidence) from people interested in Aloeride® | | Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) | There is diarrhoea-predominant IBS, constipation-predominant IBS but in practice, this division between constipation-predominant and diarrhoea-predominant IBS is not clear-cut with a category of patients alternating between diarrhoea and constipation. Broadly the symptoms of IBS are:
- crampy abdominal pain, often relieved by defaecation/defecation
- an alteration in bowel habit (diarrhoea/diarrhea, constipation or alternating)
- bloating and (painful) swelling of the abdomen
- rumbling noises and excessive passage of wind
- increased gastro-colic reflex, this is an awakening of the childhood reflex where food in the stomach stimulates colonic activity, resulting in the need to open the bowels.
- urgency - a need to rush to the toilet and incontinence (if a toilet isn't nearby)
- a sharp pain felt low down inside the rectum (proctalgia fugax)
- right-sided abdominal pain, either low or under the right lower ribs which does not always get better on opening the bowels; or pain under the left ribs (splenic flexure syndrome) and when the pain is bad it may ascend to the left armpit.
- sensation of incomplete bowel movement
- possible associated symptoms are: indigestion, belching, nausea, headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears, fibromyalgia, backache, passing urine frequently, tiredness or even chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, anxiety and depression
Many customers report a very real improvement in their management of IBS with Aloeride®. The 'in a nutshell' reason for that is, that Aloeride® placates the gut lining. And because of the way in which it is made, Aloeride® cannot contribute to diarrhoea (< 0.1ppm of laxative polyhydroxyanthraquinones). Very deliberately Aloeride® is kept 100% pure, that means that there are no additives that can upset you. Because Aloeride® is portable in hygienic, blisterfoiled child-friendly capsules you use it as and when you need it.

The most common symptoms of Crohn's Disease are abdominal pain, often in the lower right area and diarrhoea/diarrhea. Rectal bleeding, weight loss and fever may also occur. Bleeding may be serious and persistent, leading to anaemia/anemia. Children with Crohn's disease may suffer delayed development and stunted growth.
Ulcerative Colitis
The most common symptoms of ulcerative colitis are abdominal pain and bloody diarrhoea/diarrhea. Patients also may experience fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite, rectal bleeding and loss of body fluids and nutrients. About half of patients have mild symptoms. Others suffer frequent fever, bloody diarrhoea/diarrhea, nausea, and severe abdominal cramps.
Many customers report a very real improvement in their IBD when using Aloeride®. Not only does it placate the gut, Aloeride® also accellerates wound healing which is most important for people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Because the amount of working ingredients in Aloeride® is exemplary high, it really does help in the management of these conditions. Because of the way in which it is made, Aloeride® cannot contribute to diarrhoea/diarrhea (< 0.1ppm of laxative polyhydroxyanthraquinones). And because Aloeride® is portable in hygienic, blisterfoiled capsules you use it as and when you need it. For extensive information about Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) please read www.bioterrain.co.uk/IBD.html and in our Link Page, there are hyperlinks to other IBD websites that may be of interest to you. | | Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD / GORD) | | GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) or GORD (gastro-oesophageal reflux disease) is a chronic condition in which the lower oesophageal sphincter allows gastric acids to reflux into the food pipe causing heartburn, acid indigestion and possible injury to the oesophageal lining. Common GERD symptoms are heartburn, acid regurgitation and/or pain in the chest. You may feel hoarseness in the morning or trouble swallowing - feeling like you have food stuck in your throat or your throat is tight. GERD can also cause a dry cough and bad breath. Aloeride® does not alter the tension of the sphyncter diaphragmatica (between food pipe and stomach) but it does improve the stomach, especially the most common GERD symptom which is heartburn. Whereas stress is not directly linked to GERD, secondary stress behaviours such as smoking, overeating, undereating, unhealthy eating, alcohol consumption, smoking, and changes in sleeping habits can contribute directly to the symptoms of GERD. Aloeride® is a useful natural remedy but one is advised to change life style towards i.e. practise good nutrition, introduce stress relieving exercise, introduce wind-down time, shift the balance from work towards more fun. If the oesophagus (food pipe) is damaged by gastric acid, then it may be useful to break open the capsule and mix the Aloeride® powder with water and swallow that immediately. If life style change together with Aloeride® do not knock your GERD on the head, then your family doctor may prescribe Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs). Because PPIs work by completely blocking the production of stomach acid, you can understand that this may have a knock-on effect on your (acid dependcent) digestive ability and, because your stomach's resting pH becomes altered, you now rely on other mechanisms than your 'stomach acid barrier' to kill ingested undesirable organisms. Because proton pump inhibitors completely stop acid production, using them can lead to a growth of microbes in the stomach (stomach infections). Proton pump inhibitors generally don't cause many problems. The most common side effects are diarrhoea, feeling or being sick, constipation, wind, abdominal pain and headaches. Very rarely they can also cause allergic reactions, itching, dizziness, swollen ankles, muscle and joint pain, blurred vision, depression and a dry mouth. Side effects of prescribed medication is an important reason why people look for alternatives, Aloeride® is the best in its class when it comes to aloe vera. | | Stomach and duodenal ulcers (Peptic Ulcers) | | Eighty percent of gastric ulcers and 90% of duodenal ulcers are caused by the bacterium Helicobacter Pylori. Other factors are stress, smoking, caffeine, alcohol, non-steroid-anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), hydrochloric acid and pepsin. The most common ulcer symptom is a gnawing, burning pain in the abdomen between the breastbone and the navel. The pain often occurs between meals and in the early hours of the morning. Probably the most prescribed group of medicines is known as H2-receptor antagonists or H2 antagonists for short. Histamine, produced naturally by the body, stimulates certain cells in the stomach to produce acid. It does this by attaching to a particular site on those cells - known as a H2 receptor - which makes the cells produce more acid. The H2 antagonists work by binding to the H2 receptors without triggering acid production. The most common side effects of H2 antagonists are diarrhoea /diarrhea and other digestive disturbances, headache, dizziness and tiredness, and hair loss with cimetidine and sweating with nizatidine. Ranitidine bismuth citrate can cause the tongue to darken and stools to turn black. Antibiotics will be prescribed when H. Pylori laboratory test are positive. Those of you looking for a natural alternative will be pleased to know that aloe vera is researched to have ulceroprotective properties, that is, if enough appropriate working ingredients are presented to your body. Because the amount of working ingredients in Aloeride® is exemplary high, it really does help in the management of peptic ulcers. But, whether you use Aloeride®, H2 antagonists or PPIs, you must do that in addition to reducing the other factors that were mentioned earlier. If you don't you are merely swimming against the tide, and the tide usually wins. | | Holiday over indulgence | | Compared to the above four medical conditions, you may well think that this is a frivolous entry. But every now and then even the best of us imbibe more alcohol then we should. The morning-after greets you with at least a queezy stomach and 2 (or 3) capsules of Aloeride® first thing in the morning with a great deal of water will help your digestive tract to feel better very quickly. Of course this paragraph should under no circumstances be interpreted as Han van de Braak, his practice, his company nor anybody associated with either of them, condoning or encouraging excess or binge drinking. But since foreign foods and alcohol can ruin a perfectly fine day at the beach, Aloeride® in your suitcase is a very worthwhile travel companion. Have you read the article in Travel Magazine? | | Wound Healing |  Aloeride® accellerates safe, natural wound healing. Because Aloeride® is taken by mouth, it can speed up the necessary fibroblast activity even when there is no easy local access due to wound dressing. Obviously the circulation in the wound area must be intact for this to work. When in doubt consult your physician. Your dosage is to reflect the nature & extent of your injury. Open wounds, skin lesions and burns must heal from the inside out which is why oral Aloeride® is always totally safe to use. If you have a cut, a burn or another skin lesion, the repair of this is done by fibroblast activity both during the inflammatory and the proliferative phase. You can understand that only the best quality aloe will produce the best quality fibroblast activity, action is proportional to dosage which is where Aloeride®'s superior amount & spectrum of working ingredients gives you the advantage.
Margot Sheppard was 90 years old when she injured her leg. Unfortunately she contracted MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) and as a result the wound continually failed to heal. "A friend told me about Aloeride® and within a week I noticed improvement. My leg is perfect now but I continue to take Aloeride® because it is of great benefit." David Dixon suffered 1st and 3rd degree burns. Immediately after coming out of Intensive Care Unit he started taking Aloeride®. "My consultant plastic surgeon commented on how rapidly and beautifully the wounds and the skin grafts healed. On my face the burns healed almost invisibly." Aloeride® also helps in UV exposure: Robert Campbell, a sun-sensitive ginger Scot, went for a 1 week holiday to sunny Mediterranean and took 2 capsules of Aloeride® a day (1 pack covers 14 days). "I have never had one single day when I my skin was sore (I did use sun block and was sensible as always) and this has never happened to me before. On returning home, the tan I got stayed much longer than it has ever done before. There has been no skin flaking at all. I am truly amazed !".
The researched phytochemical effects of aloe vera include anti-inflammatory effect, anti-microbial effect, effect on cell growth and as said, wound healing. It is therefore hardly surprising that the ostomates (people with a stoma) find Aloeride® useful in their daily stoma care. Why? As many as two thirds of stoma patients will experience significant peristomal skin problems at some time. If you have sore skin, infection or inflammation then Aloeride® can help. Tim Jelley - a Senior International Trade Advisor - is a bowel cancer ostomate and is making a trek through Vietnam to raise money for "Beating Bowel Cancer". Tim uses Aloeride® because the friction (walking), heat and humidity (Vietnam) are very likely to cause him problems. With Aloeride® he puts his body in the best possible position to keep his stoma as healthy as can be. | | Run down Immune System | | Not until 2001 was the molecule aloeride found in aloe vera (J Agric Food Chem. 2001 Feb;49(2):1030-4). The aloeride molecule has a very potent immunostimulatory activity, significantly more so than other polysaccharide chains in aloe vera. From the independent laboratory tests within this website, it is evident that very few aloe products give you aloeride molecules. Products will lay claim to the research but they fail to deliver the molecule. Aloeride® is exemplary and worldwide unique in its quantity of very long chain polysaccharides (aloerides) that have this very potent immunostimulatory activity. What does this do for you? A strong immune system enables you to fight back infection and destroy faulty cells. It puts powder in your guns and heightens the barricades. To whom is this aspect of Aloeride® of particular interest? People with bacterial or viral infections but also people who want to improve their 5 year survival rate. Is Aloeride® the only natural measure to boost your immune system? No, but it is the best in its class. The maximum polysaccharide receptor site occupation occurs at 500mg/day which is 3 - 4 Aloeride® capsules daily. |
