The bodyscan machine is something I've seen someone use in the past. It does give up some information in terms of where to look for problems using real diagnositic tests--but its "remedy selections" using homeopathic remedies is something I would just ignore. Yes, the Aloes Scot. is a reference to Aloes socotrina.
I still wouldn't use it in the case, unless it actually was prescribed using the proper homeopathic method. Why? It will not work, and it may very likely harm.

I have a friend who was treated by Dr. Ramakrishnan when she came down with cancer of the pancreas. At the time, Dr. Ramakrishnan had not published his book, which is to be used by homeopathic physicians to treat their own patients--in other words, an application of his method, with hands-on, real case management and real, live, cast-taking. My friend contacted Dr. Ramakrishnan and did essentially and telephone and email case taking; he visited her in Canada a few months after treating her with the chosen remedies and protocol, sight-unseen.

Unfortunately, his remedy selection was correct but his potency selection turned out to be quite extreme, which ultimately caused a turn for the worse in her treatment. The problem could have been avoided if he had seen her in person, as he did significantly alter the potency for all her other remedies after finally meeting her in person. By that time, however, his protocol did help her to outlive her prognosis by 150%...but "in a crunch" the blind potency selection for a good remedy actually hastened her demise at a stage where her treatment could have taken a much more healing turn. She was very grateful to the Dr. anyway, and thought very highly of him. It is unfortunate she didn't have the opportunity to see him in person from the beginning, and undergo regular care with him, as I'm sure she would still be with us!
