Short Biography Harley Reginald
McDaniel. M.D. Dr. McDaniel was born
in Texas and received all his education in the state. He graduated from Southwestern University with Honors with a
double major in chemistry and biology.
Medical School was complete in 1962 at the University of Texas
Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas.
Boards in clinical and anatomic pathology were completed in 1966
at Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas, Texas.
The private practice of pathology was conducted from 1966 to
1994. As the Chief of
Pathology and Clinical Laboratories at Dallas-Ft. Worth Medical Center,
he was director of medical education at the University of North Texas
Health Science Center in Grand Prairie for five years and on the
clinical faculty as an instructor at Southwestern Medical School since
1966. In 1976 Dr. McDaniel
was introduced to the value of aloe vera gel by Ivan Danhof, M.D.,
Ph.D., gastroenterologist who saw refractory ulcerative colitis patients
respond to the natural prodcut. In
1985 he was recruited to be the physician member of a research team that
developed the active glyconutrients principle of aloe vera.
A multi-disciple team of scientists was assembled by Carrington
Labs to inquire into why 8 patients with AIDS reported major benefits
for their health status upon consuming daily amounts of aloe leaf gel. Dr. McDaniel is a co-inventor with Bill
McAnalley, Ph.D. along with other research team members on the patents
for Manapole, i.e. polymannose, the totally non-toxic complex
carbohydrate, a glyconutrient, found
to be the bioactive antiviral molecule in aloe vera gel.
Initial patents were filed in 1996 for Ambrotose, a blend
of known glyconutrients designed to support cellular synthesis while
serving as the medical director for Mannatech Inc. for 8 years. 1996 saw Dr. McDaniel
share in the American Naturapathic Society annual recognition award for
the biochemical discovery of the year.
In 1999 Dr. McDaniel was by invitation asked to lecture on the
pediatric value of glyconutrients to the Staff of the Surgeon General. The anticancer benefits of phytochemical micronutrion was
presented to the Comprehensive Cancer 2000 Conference sponsored by the
National Cancer Institute. The
17th International Congress on Nutrition was addressed by invitation of
the United Nations Office on Food and Agriculture, Rome, Italy, speaking on How Micronutrition can Improve World Health at an
Unparalleled Low Cost. This
was followed by a presentation to a House Hearing on Bioterrorism in
November 2001 on how glyconutrition provides an economical and effective
means to support general body defense mechanisms and block bioterrorist
infectious agents. The 9th
World Congress on Clinical Nutrition was addressed in 2002 on the
benefits seen in terminal AIDS patients with multiple drug resistance. On request, the Tribal Council of the Lakota Sioux was
brief in August, 2002 on restoration of children with fetal alcohol
syndrome, diabetes and cancer by use of micronutrients.
Additional medical forums and medical school grand rounds have
been addressed on the value of micronutrition in hepatis C, reversal of
the aging process, fetal alcohol syndrome, behavior problems and
vascular developmental lesions in children. In July 2002, Dr.
McDaniel became the medical director for MannaRelief Ministries that has
a mission to make the micronutrients available to children whose
families could never supply the dietary supplements to their chronically
ill children. Posted 6-20-05 |
