ALOE AND YOUR HEALTHALOE AND YOUR HEALTH

More vehicles than ever on the road, more factories are producing more goods resulting in more toxins polluting the air that we breathe. Everyone owns a cell phone, we all live in cities, and eat food that has been genetically altered and chemically fortified. Modern farming techniques has given us more food, but this food results in the increase in pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers that pollute the land and end up in our water supply. The meat that we eat is filled to the brim with growth hormones and antibiotics and comes from animals that have been eating processed foods or grazing on polluted land. The brave new information age has made all of us more aware of our health, yet our modern food industry practices only make all of us sicker.

On top of the woefully inadequate conditions of our food, the frenetic, fast paced world that we find ourselves in leads to a more stressful lifestyle that makes medieval serfdom seem more favorable. We are too busy with our modern age lives to bother with eating healthy and getting the proper amount of rest and exercise. Instead we merely pop a pill that some researcher in a lab has dreamed up to make us, sleep, eat, wake, or be happy. These drugs then enter our system and wreak havoc upon our bodies’ natural defense mechanisms causing much bigger problems in the end.

To add to our distress, science is now uncovering the role that free radicals, which are found in things like cigarette smoke, exhaust fumes, herbicides, pesticides, and even

of 90


tasty hamburgers, play in the rising number of cancer cases. Free radicals are oxidizers that enter the body and damage our cells. The link between the rise free radicals and certain types of cancer is too great to ignore. Something must be done to stop this onslaught. While increasing the amount of antioxidants in our diet in the form of fresh fruits and vegetables seems like an obvious solution, the diminishing nutrient value of our soil makes this idea a rather moot one.

The increasing demand for health products that are not only good for the modern consumer, but also good for the Earth is not a surprising development considering the trouble we have gotten ourselves into. We have painted ourselves into a corner by not looking far enough into the future, and now its time to fix the problem by taking proactive steps forward.

ALOE THROUGH THE AGESALOE THROUGH THE AGES

The Aloe Vera plant is known by many different names by the multitude of cultures that have used it for their own benefit throughout the ages. This “lily of the desert” is a succulent member of the lily family that can be traced to the warm dry climates of Northern Africa. There are about 200 types of aloe. Each type has the same first name of Aloe, which is the name of the group and a second name, which is the name of the species, like Aloe Spicata, Aloe Ferox, Aloe Africana, Aloe Vera ( Aloe Barbadenis ), etc. Probably the most famous for its curative properties and important to us is Aloe Vera. In Latin it means “ the true aloe “.

Aloe Vera is one of the oldest known medicinal plants. The recorded history of aloe uses goes back to 2200 B.C. when the Babylonians used a whole Aloe leaf internally to cure intestinal problems. Throughout the ages right up to these modern times, the Aloe Vera plant has been used to treat a long list of ailments as well a host of cosmetic purposes. The inner gel has soothed flesh wounds such as burns, cuts, scrapes and stings; it has also been used for headaches, gum sores, hemorrhoids, skin disorders (dermatitis, psoriasis), acne, dandruff, and even baldness. Ingesting it was believed to cure indigestion,

of 90


constipation, dysentery, and kidney disorders. The plant has spread throughout the world and has been used by cultures on every continent with the exception of Antarctica and has been regarded as a valuable medicinal plant right up until the modern era.

The first detailed discussion about Aloe's healing properties comes from an Egyptian papyrus written around 1550 B.C. The Egyptians called Aloe the “Plant of Immortality”. This ancient document described twelve remedies in which aloe is used to cure both internal and external disorders.

Drawings of aloe vera found on the walls of ancient Egyptian temples show that the plant was used externally in the treatment of burns, ulcers and skin diseases.The Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, the Chinese, the Sumerians and the Hindus used aloe as a natural remedy for treating skin problems, healing wounds and its laxative properties.

There is even a myth that Egyptian queens Cleopatra and Nefertiti used aloe as a part of their beauty regimen. Josephine, wife of the emperor Napoleon, used a lotion made of milk and aloe.

Another legend says that Aristotle persuaded Alexander the Great to capture the island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean because there were a lot of aloe plants and his soldiers could use aloe to heal their wounds.

The ancient Greek physician, pharmacologist and botanist Dioscorides (41 A.D.-68

of 90


A.D.) described Aloe Vera and its healing abilities in his book De Materia Medica.

The use of Aloe played an important part in Roman medicine, in particular Roman physicians Pliny the Elder and Claudius Galen, 129 - ca 200 A.D., (his advanced theories influenced Western Medicine and dominated for thousand years) used it in their practice internally and externally.

Aloe is found in the folklore of Hawaii, Japan and the Philippines.

The first commercial manufacture of aloe drugs began in the 9th century by Persian merchant Abu Hanifeh. His workers crushed mature leaves and threw them into presses to squeeze the juice. Then they put the flesh into leather bags and exposed them to the sun to dry.

In the11th century the aloe plant and its dry sap began to be used throughout Europe and were recognized as healing agents in Western Medicine.

Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) stated: "Four vegetables are indispensable for the well-being of man: Wheat, the grape, the olive and aloe. The first nourishes him, the second raises his spirit, the third brings him harmony, and the fourth cures him.”

The Spanish knew of Aloe's healing properties and brought it to their colonies in South

of 90


America and the Caribbean.In 1820 Aloe was listed in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia for its purgative and protective skin abilities.

In 1912 Colonel H.W. Johnston started the first U.S. commercial Aloe Vera farm in Florida.

The 1935 Atomic Energy Commission was one of the earliest instances of scientific analysis of the Aloe Vera plant. Researchers involved in this study concluded that Aloe Vera gel was the ideal product to effectively treat radiation burns and wounds caused by x-rays, gamma rays and ultraviolet rays. It was used to aid the victims in Hiroshima and Nagasaki when other medicines failed. Aloe helped to reduce pain and increase tissue growth.

While they knew that it worked, the researchers had failed to uncover exactly how it helped heal. Aloe Vera’s specific chemical make up was determined later one, and researchers discovered that it was a plant unlike any other. The Aloe’s juice was far more complex than the simple sap of most plants and was instead, a composite of numerous biologically active ingredients.

In the 1950s Russian scientists N. Nordvinov and B. Rostotsky reported that aloe greatly improves skin texture, eliminates eczema, neurodermatitis, dryness, itching, psoriasis and other skin disorders. They found that Aloe prevents radiation burns and reduces healing time by one half in patients with 2nd and 3rd degree radiation and fire burns, frostbite, cuts, and blisters. They also indicated that Aloe Vera may be an effective treatment in fighting some types of skin cancer.

1959 the F.D.A. stated "upon review the F.D.A. admits that Aloe Vera does actually regenerate skin tissue". In 1960s a pharmacist from Dallas, TX, Dr. Bill Coates discovered how to extract and stabilize Aloe Gel from the leaves without losing the full potency of this miracle plant.

In 1969 research about using Aloe Vera for treating dental-related disorders was performed by Dr. E. Zimmerman and the Baylor College of Dentistry. The study concluded that Aloe has a very powerful anti-inflammation effect and kills micro-organisms that cause infection.

In the late 1970s Russian researchers found Aloe extract effective against hearing

of 90


impairments. The Russians also used Aloe to treat people with tuberculosis. In one study 75 patients inhaled aloe extract once in the morning and once at night. After only a couple days X-Rays showed that their lungs healed and their temperature went back to normal.

Since the 1970s Aloe's popularity and commercial interest has been growing. Researchers, Clinicians and medical investigators have been finding an increasing number of valuable uses for the Aloe Vera plant. It has been studied for its effectiveness on:

✔ Bacterial infections such as staph , strep, conjunctivitis and yeast infection ✔ Viral infections such as Herpes simplex and shingles ✔ Fungal Infections ✔ Inflammations caused by arthritis, allergies, surgery, infections, burns,

ulcerations, insect bites, ect. ✔ Pruritis ✔ Liver Spots

In current use there are two products derived from aloe leaves. The clear gel that forms naturally in the hollow interior of the leaf is the familiar product used to relieve

of 90


burns and wounds, whereas specialized resin canal cells in the thick leaf epidermis produce a bitter yellow juice that is the source of the laxative drug aloe. Although they share certain components, these two products are distinctly different and should not be confused.

In the 1990s Dr. W. Winters from the University of Texas Health Science Center, at San Antonio, stated that there are at least 140 substances in Aloe which control cell growth and division, reduce inflammation, stimulate the growth of white cells and other immune-function cells and called Aloe "a pharmacy in a plant."

Neville Baron, M.D., an ophthalmologist from New Jersey, has found evidence that aloe absorbs UV rays and assumed that some day aloe drops can be a substitute for sunglasses. Derry Lawrence, M. D., a physician from Texas, reported in his letter to the New England Journal Of Medicine that “the clear gel from freshly broken or cut aloe vera leaf is sterile and soothing. In one or two direct instillations into the affected eye or eyes, it brings rapid, total symptomatic relief and seems to speed healing.”

Many facts about aloe's healing power were published in very prestigious scientific journals and textbooks, like “International Journal of Dermatology”, “Cancer”, “American Journal of Pharmacy”, “Journal of Dermatological Surgery and Oncology” and “Journal of the American Medical Association”. There were reported cures of thermal and radiation burns, chronic ulcers, baldness, acne and dental-related problems.

Aloe’s role on the healing process and its ability to penetrate target areas and stimulate cell regeneration has also been scientifically documented along with a multitude of other properties that cement Aloe Vera’s role as a healer, a restorer and a protector. It reveals to the world a plant that is both natural and completely safe to use without any side effects. It makes you wonder how one little green plant is capable of so many things.

SOME SCIENTIFIC FACTS AND STUDIES ON ALOESOME SCIENTIFIC FACTS AND STUDIES ON ALOE

Aloe Amplifies AntioxidantsAloe Amplifies AntioxidantsGet this: taking Aloe actually makes antioxidants such as Vitamin C and E, work better. Research indicates that aloe increases the effectiveness of these free radical fighting vitamins because of its blood enhancing abilities. These vital nutrients are able to reach the most remote cells via this super charged blood cell free way. It is a sure bet that Aloe pretty much makes everything good, better because of this. The ability to improve the capabilities of the blood stream bodes well for cancer fighting herb remedies, allowing them to target tumors with extreme accuracy.

The pharmaceutical companies can only wish they could understand the advanced biotechnology that Aloe Vera plants holds within its spotted green lancelets. Nature, in her unimaginable wisdom, created this plant and then let mankind discover it. Aloe is fully safe and compatible with our bodies and it is better then anything that profit driven research could come up with. The only way you can benefit from this advanced technology is to try Aloe Vera for yourself.

AIDSAIDS Writing in “The Doctors’ Vitamin and Mineral Encyclopedia”, Sheldon Saul Hendler, M.D., Ph.D., reported that Aloe juices and gels have shown to have antibacterial and antifungal properties, and they appear to be active against a broad spectrum of microbes. As an example, he said, an extract of Aloe, carrisyn, has exhibited antiviral activity, inhibiting reproduction of herpes, measles and the HIV virus in test tubes. Further studies are underway to determine whether carrisyn may be helpful in the treatment of AIDS. (The Complete Book Of Vitamins And Minerals For Health. Emmaus, Pa.: Rodale

of 90


Press, 1988, p.135)

“There are a number of ways in which Aloe vera may produce therapeutic results,” Hendler said. “Salisylates, which have both anti-inflammatory and pain killing characteristics, are found in Aloe. So is magnesium lactate, a substance which can inhibit histamine reactions of the sort that can cause, among other things, itching and irritation of the skin. In addition, an enzyme in Aloe has been found to be a bradykinin inhibitor in test tube experiments. Bradykinin produces pain in inflamed tissue.”He added that some HIV-infected and AIDS patients are regularly drinking an Aloe beverage that has a high content of carrisyn. He suggests that this therapy should be monitored by a professional. (Hendler, Sheldon Saul, M.D., PhD The Doctor’s Vitamin And Mineral Encyclopedia. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1990, pp.277-278)

Preliminary studies indicate the potential usefulness of aloe as an adjunct to current AIDS therapy (i.e., AZT).Three studies conducted by H.R. McDaniel, Ph.D., et al., demonstrated that 500-800 mg. of Acetylmannans per day in HIV-1 infected patients 1) raised CD8 levels and maintained CD4 levels; 2) significantly increased circulating monocytes/macrophages and improved phagocytic activity; 3) significantly improved Modified Walter Reed Clinical

(MWR) scoring, absolute T-4, absolute T-8, and p24 core antigen levels.

McDaniel, H.R., et al. Extended survival and prognostic criteria for Acetylmannans (ACE-M) treated HIV-1 patients. Antiviral Res. 13(Suppl. 1):117, 1990.

In an article in the Medical World News, December 1987 issue, titled "Aloe Drug May Mimic AZT without Toxicity," Dr. H. Reginald McDaniel stated, "A substance in the aloe plant shows preliminary signs of boosting AIDS patients' immune systems and blocking the human immune-deficiency virus' spread without toxic side effects."

In the summer of 1989, internationally recognized AIDS expert Terry L. Pulse, M.D., conducted a systematic study of a unique nutritional regimen combining the use of an aloe vera drink with a supplementation powder and fatty acid capsules. The objective

of 90


was to determine if this nutritional regimen would help to restore the patients immune systems and increase their ability to fight current and future infections. Twenty-eight patients remained with the study through its 180-day period. Whereas initial rating showed 16 patients classified with full-blown AIDS, at 180 days all 16 had improved so dramatically that none could any longer be placed in that category. Additionally, two were accorded a MWR (Modified Walter Reed scale) classification of 0-or HIV negative-at the end of the study. Subsequently, an additional five patients achieved a 0 rating on the MWR scale.(Donovan J. Anderson, M.D. Willow Valley Medical Center, August 29, 1996)

Anti-Viral Properties of Aloe VeraAnti-Viral Properties of Aloe VeraAloe was mixed with the following viruses: herpes, chickenpox, rabies, and flu. Aloe killed these viruses in 15 minutes. Electron microscopic exam demonstrated that the structures surrounding the viruses were torn apart, thus showing how aloe kills certain viruses in vitro. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 1991 Dec;35(12):2463-6:

BurnsBurnsA man, aged twenty-six years, had stepped into a pit containing boiling water emptied from a cooker in a canning factory. The injured foot and leg were scalded to within 8 cm. of the patella. Most of the outer layers of skin came off when the stocking was removed. Over the malleoli, burns extended through the entire integument. In a first aid station a proprietary ointment had been applied. In an effort to remove the ointment and dead skin, I applied, at first, warm, moist packs of solution of boric acid. On the following day, and thereafter, liberal applications of Aloes ointment were made. The patient had little pain and the dressings were easily removed. There was no evidence of infection. In ten days there were no raw areas, although the skin looked thin, red and shiny. The patient was dismissed and returned to work on the nineteenth day after the accident. Crewe, J. E. (MD). (1937). The external use of Aloes. Minnesota Medicine, 20, 670-673.

Severe BurnsSevere BurnsAn adult male Rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) was presented to the Carlson Animal Research Facility 10 minutes after sustaining a severe burn. The monkey had been exposed to 180 C steam and water, with detergent, for 5 minutes. The 70% burns received accidentally by this monkey should have been fatal, but the animal was not only saved but quickly returned to good health by treatment, the primary part of which

of 90


was by Aloe vera. At 42 hours the monkey's condition was remarkably improved. At 7 days, re-epithelialization of the burned areas was well underway and the monkey appeared to be free of pain. Recovery was complete within 30 days.Cera, Lee M. (DVM), Heggers, John P. (PhD, MT[AMT]), Hafstrom, William J. (MD), & Robson, Martin C. (MD). (1982, July/August).

Sun BurnsSun BurnsMy first personal experience with Aloe Vera juice was in the summer of 1961. My wife and I had been fishing in the surf on Padre Island for about 8 hours. We had protected our upper bodies against the sun with a suntan oil, but had failed to protect our legs. Consequently when we tried to get out of bed the next morning we found we were so sunburned on the backs of our legs neither of us could get up. Our Mexican maid finally came into our bedroom and saw our predicament and ran to her home and brought a large Aloe Vera leaf, which she expertly skinned and applied the gel, or juice to our legs. In a matter of less than half an hour we were both able to get up, but stayed in bed all day with Aloe Vera juice on our legs with the result that we had no pain and no blistering and consequently no scarring...

Severe Blood LossSevere Blood LossThe ability of the polymers within aloe to turn mucky oxygen depleted blood into smooth oxygen rich blood could help save you from dying of severe blood loss. The United States military is experimenting with aloe at this very moment to help save the lives of severely wounded soldiers on the battlefield.

Researchers first discovered this amazing ability of Aloe in an unethical experiment in which lab rats were bled out and then injected with an aloe vera polymer. The rats that were injected with the polymer showed remarkable improvements in resuscitation, blood

pressure, and survival. The aloe vera made the rats remaining blood work better, and if you consider the fact that the average rat actually has a better diet then the average American, the potential of aloe is even more significant.

The improvement of the average American’s sludge blood through the widespread use of aloe would be nothing les than phenomenal. However, the profit minded drug companies would rather isolate whatever beneficial chemical that is within aloe and turn it into a sellable drug. People need to understand that this method is completely frivolous, and that is way better just to partake in the plant itself instead of waiting for science to come up with a viable alternative. Besides, aloe’s health benefits are not due to one specific chemical, but instead are made possible by the natural healing synergy of all the phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals that are contained within the plant.

Aloe vera gel has the potential to turn your blood into super-oxygenated blood, but you have to eat a whole lot of it. Some aloe experts suggest blending up an entire leaf into a smoothie on a daily basis in order to get the full benefits. Nibbling on the plant like it was a delicacy will not give you the full benefits; instead you need to eat aloe like it was food. Make raw aloe part of your diet and experience the difference.

CancerCancerA survey carried out among 673 patients with lung cancer over a five-year period in

of 90


Okinawa, Japan, focused on the link between smoking, plant foods within the diet and the incidence of lung cancer. In The Japanese Journal of Cancer Research, the researchers concluded, 'The results of plant epidemiology suggests that aloe vera juice prevents human pulmonary carcinogenesis', going on to state that aloe vera is 'widely preventive or suppressive against various human cancers', not just lung cancer.Clarke, Jane. (2004, April 25). The potted physician: Body foods by Britain’s leading nutrition expert. The Mail on Sunday. London, England.

Acemannan, a phytonutrient found in Aloe, has been the subject of numerous cancer research studies as of late. In one study, it was given to cats and dogs that were being treated for cancer through radiation therapy. The animals that were given acemannan as adjunctive not only healed faster, but also survived longer after treatment.

In another study, researchers combined lymphocytes from the bloods of two different people together with acemannan. Lymphocytes are white blood cells, whose main job is to respond to the invasion of antigens (foreigners). The purpose of the study was to see if acemannan affected of the response of the lymphocytes when they confronted a foreign invader (in this case the other lymphocytes). After the study, researches concluded that “acemannan, the active ingredient of the aloe vera plant, is an important immunoenhancer”.

Digestive DisordersDigestive DisordersThe polysaccharides contained within the Aloe plant can help with a large number of digestive disorders. The Internet is full of information and testimonials pertaining to Aloe’s effect on digestive disorders such as Crohns disease, IBS, ulcers, colitis, diarrhea, and other disorders of the digestive tract. It is also discussed in a multitude of relevant scientific journals and medical literature such as Natural Health, Natural Medicine:

In Natural Health, Natural medicine, Andrew Weil, M.D. of the University of Arizona at Tucson, reported that Aloe Vera is beneficial in the treatment of various gastrointestinal complaints. For diverticulitis, an inflammation of the walls of the colon, take Aloe vera gel after meals, staying below the dose that may cause any laxative effect.For hemorrhoids, Weil advises to apply Aloe Vera gel to the area frequently, and take one teaspoon of liquid Aloe Vera after meals. For peptic, gastric or duodenal ulcers, he recommends 1 teaspoon of Aloe Vera juice after meals. And for ulcerative colitis, he says to take a teaspoon of Aloe Vera juice after meals, unless that amount is laxative. (Weil, Andrew, M.D. Natural Health, Natural Medicine. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1990, pp. 281, 293, 326, 328)

Gastric ulcers happen when the juices in your stomach that are secreted to digest food, start to eat away at your stomach lining instead. The neutral mucous membrane lining your stomach usually prevents this, but sometimes a hole develops and the juices, which contain active enzyme pepsin, find its way to the gastric walls. The pepsin then begins to work on the stomach lining resulting in ulceration. Stress is one of the leading causes of gastric ulcers, which is why this ailment is becoming an increasing problem in this fast paced world of high expectations.

Ingested Aloe helps suppress the action of the pepsin, limiting the size of the ulceration. The polysaccharides, which are long chain sugars within the aloe, then penetrate the cells of the protective mucous membrane and help promote its repair.

IBS is another modern day problem that is brought upon us because of our diets, as

of 90


well as stress. The anti-inflammatory actions of aloe vera gel in vitro provide support for the proposal that it may have a therapeutic effect in inflammatory bowel disease. (Centre for Adult and Pediatric Gastroenterology, Institute of Cellular and Molecular Science, Barts and the London, Queen Mary School of Medicine and Dentistry, London, UK)

Forty-four patients (aged 18-80 years) with mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive, in double-blind fashion, aloe vera gel (100 ml twice a day) or placebo for four weeks. Patients were advised to start with 25-50 ml twice a day for up to three days, to insure tolerability. Clinical remission (defined as Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index of 2 or less) occurred in 30% of patients taking aloe vera and 7% of those taking placebo (p= 0.09). Clinical response (defined as remission or improvement) occurred in 47% of patients taking aloe vera and 14% of those taking placebo (p < 0.05). Although previous studies have shown that aloe vera extracts have anti inflammatory activity, this is the first study to provide scientific support for aloe vera as a treatment for ulcerative colitis.Oral aloe vera appears to be safe, and this treatment should be considered as part of a comprehensive approach to the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

First AidFirst Aid Aloe Vera can virtually replace your entire first aid kit allowing you to do away with toxic antibacterial sprays, bandages and lotions. Packing small chunks of aloe vera gel into wound will allow them to heal with zero scarring. When the aloe dries, it actually pulls the wound shut, and keeps it free of any dangerous bacteria. The gel will also help provide nourishment to the damaged area and aid in the overall repair process. Aloe is perfect to use on animals that get hurt, because it is non-toxic and

will not harm them if they lick it.Here is a little story about the healing power of aloe from Dr. John C. Pittman, the founder and medical director of the Carolina Center for Bio-Oxidative Medicine in Raleigh, N.C., who became intrigued with the plant while working in the emergency room. One morning he was treating a patient who had burned both of her hands while cooking. At the time, the hospital was conducting a study on aloe vera, so Dr. Pittman asked the patient if he could treat her right hand with Silvadene, the traditional

of 90


treatment, and dress her left hand with a purified form of liquid aloe vera concentrate. The patient agreed, was treated and then left. That same evening the patient returned to the hospital and demanded to have her right hand treated with the same stuff that was on her left one. She told the good doctor that her right hand was still throbbing while her left hand was completely free of pain. While redressing the wounds, Dr Pittman was surprised to find that the redness and swelling of the aloe treated hand had been significantly reduced while the one treated with Silvadene showed no signs of progress.

Now, do not think that aloe can completely replace hospital visits. If you accidentally hack off the tip of your finger while dicing an onion, you cannot simply glue it back on with Aloe (now, that would be cool). Or if one of your children falls while horsing around and gets a big gash on their forehead, they are probably still going to need stitches at the ER. However, before you cart yourself or your kid off to the hospital, aloe vera gel can help protect the wound and accelerate the healing process. Minor conditions such as cuts, scrapes, burns, bites, stings, punctures, sprains, sunburns and bruises, however can be safely treated with aloe without the need of a doctor or a reliance on the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry. Entire lines of chemical first aid and synthetic skin care products are rendered obsolete by aloe vera.

DiabetesDiabetesSince Aloe contains at least two antidiabetic active compounds, it helped the blood glucose level to be reduced to the fasting level in diabetic mice, according to Hidehiko Beppu and colleagues in ‘Phytotherapy Research’. When Aloe was given to diabetic patients, the fasting blood glucose level went down, said the researchers from Fujita Health University in Japan. The Aloe extracts had a similar effect on those suffering with hypoglycemia. “These effects are attributed to the

stimulation of insulin secretion from residual pancreatic islets beta-cells, but the mechanisms are still unknown,” said the researchers. (Beppu, Hidehiko, at al. Hypoglycaemic and Antidiabetic Effects in Mice of Aloe Arborescens Miller var. Natalensis Berger”, Phytotherapy Research 7:S37-S42, 1993)

Known for reversing “sludge blood” might also help people who suffer from diabetes by boosting circulation helping ease peripheral neuropathy, which is numbness of the arms and legs due to poor blood flow.

A placebo-controlled, single-blind human clinical trial found that diabetics receiving 15 milliliters of Aloe gel twice a day for 42 days experienced 43 % and 44% reductions in blood sugar and blood triglycerides, respectively, while controls experienced no change.

EnuresisEnuresis

Children suffering from nocturnal incontinence tend to urnate uncontrollably in their sleep (enuresis nocturna), and very rarely during the day (enuresis diurna). Nocturnal incontinence involves children from 5 to 10 years of age. Boys are affected twice as much as girls. The frequency of enuresis is increased in autumn and winter. The disease lasts for years, sometimes until puberty...Many ways have been suggested for treating children suffering from this disease: physical exercises, water treatment, special sleep regimen, physical exertion, diet, limited intake of liquids...Aloe extract is used in daily subcutaneous doses according to age, giving 25-30 injections in a course of treatment with fair results. Nocturnal incontinence of urine

disappears in most of the patients after 7-10 injections or becomes less frequent by the end of the course of treatment. And urination becomes normal in almost all patients....A normal reflex of bladder evacuation sets in and the patient is completely relieved of his illness.Fmoin, A. (N.D.).

Aloe as a Food PreservativeAloe as a Food Preservative

Aloe applications not only take years off of our bodies, it can also keep our food looking young and fresh. Dr. Daniel Valero, PhD, of the University of Miguel Hernandez in Alicante Spain, conducted research that showed that a thin layer of aloe vera gel could act as a highly effective food preservative. In the experiment, table grapes were dipped in aloe vera gel then stored at refrigerator temperatures. The grapes that were not treated went bad with a week, however the aloe dipped grapes maintained their tasty freshness for over a month (35 days in fact).

This spectacular ability of aloe could revolutionize the concept of food safety. Dipping produce in aloe vera gel could help eliminate e-coli, preserve freshness and extend shelf life. Unfortunately for us, the food industry will probably never do this because aloe gel cannot be patented and right now it is easier and cheaper to simply use synthetic chemicals than to switch to something that is safe and natural like aloe vera gel.

Gum DiseasesGum DiseasesSprinkle a little aloe vera powder on your toothbrush and find yourself effectively healing your gums and eliminating gum disease. Using aloe vera gel as a daily supplement will also heal your gums if you swish the liquid around in your mouth a few times before your swallow. This will bathe your gums in the healing gel, helping them heal rapidly. Making sure you are getting enough Vitamin D will accelerate the healing process even more. (Vitamin D deficiency is the leading cause of gum disease.)

Heart Attacks And StrokesHeart Attacks And StrokesIf you happen to know a thing or two about how heart attacks and strokes happen, it should not come as a surprise to you that Aloe’s ability to enhance the quality of your blood helps prevent both of these illnesses. Using aloe vera gel as a daily supplement will help rebalance your blood chemistry and lower the cholesterol and total triglyceride levels in those who have elevated levels. It will also reverse “sludge blood” making your blood flow in a more frictionless manner. This in turn will help lower your blood pressure, which will put less strain on your heart.

Also, Aloe’s ability to keep blood from clumping and to flow like it should also helps prevent strokes. Using the innovative, yet somewhat controversial techniques of dark field microscopy to view live human blood cells, doctors are actually able to see the structure and form of your cells. While the FDA does not approve this technique, making it hard for doctors to use it, many health professionals insist that it is the best way to determine the overall health of the blood. What they have found is that many peoples blood clumps together, thanks to a steady diet of fried foods, saturated and homogenized fats, and hydrogenated oils These clumpy masses of blood cells end up slowing the blood flow and eventually get lodged in the capillaries where they act as a dam, keeping nutrients and oxygen from getting to your tissues and brain cells. Aloe Vera can reverse this trend, unsticking the blood and allowing it to flow one blood cell at a time like it should, allowing nutrients and oxygen to reach even the most remote parts of your body (like the top of your head.)

This increase in blood flow to the brain is not only good for stroke prevention, it could also help keep Alzheimer’s at bay as well as improve learning, enhance memory and lead to better cognitive function overall. While these benefits have yet to be proven in any scientific studies, or printed up in any renowned medical journals, does not mean that it is not already working for people who are taking Aloe daily. Truth is, since science cannot make any kind of profit from studying Aloe, the research on this plant is always going to be decades behind. The best thing that you can do is to be your own research scientist and try aloe for yourself and see the benefits firsthand. You may not get your findings published, but you will at least know for yourself the wonderful healing benefits of this miraculous plant.

Inflammation and ArthritisInflammation and ArthritisAloe as a topical ointment to ease inflammation of the joints and reduce the pain of arthritis has been well documented. However, aloe can also be taken internally helping stop inflammation from the inside out. Drinking Aloe juice for two weeks will lead to a significant reduction in all inflammation symptoms. Aloe can be used to help with all types of inflammation that lead to joint and muscle pain. It works especially well when coupled with a healthier lifestyle and cutting out pro-inflammatory foods like red meat, milk, sugar, fried foods and white flour.

InjuriesInjuriesBrooks Johnson, a track coach at Stanford University in California, said that they use Aloe Vera much like DMSO for sprains and other sports injuries, according to Chuck Piper in the January 1983 issue of ‘Runner’s World’. “We clean off the area, crush some aspirin into a fine powder, then mix the two together and apply it to the injured area,” Johnson said. ‘The Aloe Vera penetrates right through the skin, taking the aspirin directly into the bloodstream. We’ve found it works a lot faster that way because it’s not diluted.” Spanky Stephens, an athletic trainer at the University of Texas, added that freezing the gel and using it in conjunction with a methyl salicylate product and a cold hydrocollator can stop the peripheral bleeding

and pain often associated with muscle strains and sprains. In this frozen state, it acts an ice massage.“Though Aloe vera’s use as a healing agent is a novel idea, its application as a moisturizer is (also) well documented, “ Piper added. “Its high water and mineral content make it ideally suited for use as a skin cream and it can be found in a number of commercial beauty aids and suntan lotions. Its softening powers have recently been found to be helpful in breaking down calluses and blisters as well. One trainer even cured a severe case of athlete’s foot through repeated applications of Aloe vera over a 3-day period,” (Piper, Chuck and Baxter, Kevin “Treating Injuries With Aloe Vera,” Runner’s World, January 1983, pp.44-46)

Aloe Extends Our Life SpanAloe Extends Our Life Span

A recent study on rats showed that aloe could extend a lifespan by 10 percent. Here is an abstract of the study:Aloe ingestion, both crude and processed, was shown to extend (10%) the average life span and slow the mortality rate doubling time. Also, several beneficial effects from aloe ingestion on age-related disease were found: Group 2 and 3 showed a lower incidence of atrial thrombosis than Group 1. Furthermore, Group 2 showed a significantly lower incidence of fatal chronic nephropathy (kidney disorders) and occurrence of multiple causes of death compared to the control group. All groups ingesting aloe showed a slightly lower incidence of fatal leukemia. Moreover, no adverse, toxic effects were found with the ingestion of aloe vera.

In layman’s terms, what this abstract is saying is that aloe vera reduced the occurrence of kidney disease, leukemia and other age related diseases in the treated rats. Just imagine, you may be able to add an extra decade to your life just by taking aloe vera.

Ulcers Of Advanced Mammary CarcinomaUlcers Of Advanced Mammary Carcinoma

A woman, eighty-six years of age, had a carcinoma of the left breast of one year’s duration. Because of her age and for other reasons, the condition was considered inoperable. In March, 1936, a crater-like ulcer developed and became a little more than 3 cm. in diameter. The discharge was profuse and very foul-smelling. After various applications had been tried without effect, Aloes ointment was applied. In a few days both the discharge and the odor were controlled.Crewe, J. E. (MD). (1937).

Wound HealingWound HealingAloe Vera is one of the best treatments for burns, cuts and scrapes that has ever been found, being far more capable of healing and soothing then the most advanced medical treatments, Aloe will not only seal the wound, keeping out bacterial agents, it will also increase blood flow to the area, accelerating the healing process. There have been cases in which aloe an application was used to heal third degree burns with no scarring. It can also be packed right into large wounds such as gunshot wounds or tissue tears. Every ER in the country should be stocked with this natural healing agent. But of course, since there is no real profit in using aloe (and we all know profit is what modern medical practice is all about), this wonder plant will never see widespread use by the medical

establishment.

Aloe Vera improves wound healing and inhibits inflammation. Since mannose-6-phosphate is the major sugar in the Aloe gel, we examined the possibility of it being an active growth substance. Mice receiving 300 mg/kg of mannose-6-phosphate improved wound healing over saline controls. This dose was also known to have anti-inflammatory activity.Davis, Robert H. (PhD), Di Donato, Joseph J. (BA, BS), Hartman, Glenn M. (BS), & Haas, Richard C. (BA). (1994, February). Anti-inflammatory and wound healing activity of a growth substance in Aloe vera. Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 84(2), 77-81.

Wound Healing: Frostbite and Electrical InjuryWound Healing: Frostbite and Electrical Injury

...We find that Aloe Vera has a significant influence on the PGs and GAGs in ahealing wound. Treatment of frostbite and electrical injury with Aloe has been shown to result in reduced tissue loss and faster healing (Heggars et al., 1993; Miller and Koltai, 1995). There was also less morbidity in the case of frostbite wounds (Heggars et al., 1993). This wound healing property of Aloe may be attributed in part to the gel polysaccharides. Recent work has shown mannose-6-phosphate, a constituent of Aloe to have wound healing and inflammation reducing properties (Davis et al., 1994).Chithra, P., Sajithlal, G.B., & Chandrakasan, Gowri. (1998, January). Influence of Aloe vera on the glycosaminoglycans in the matrix of healing dermal wounds in rats. Journal of Ethnopharmacology,59(3), 179-186.

HOW TO GROW ALOE AT HOMEHOW TO GROW ALOE AT HOME

Did you know that the Aloe plant can survive for 7 years without water?An aloe plant collects dew on the surface of its leaves and uses it for its survival and growth.Aloe Vera plants are popular and available at almost every garden shop.

Aloes are succulents, which means they are mostly made of retained water. That is why they are extremely frost tender. Also, succulents have the self-repairing ability to seal any cut or tear. They do not just store water that leaks out if it's punctured. The internal gel consists of hundreds of phytochemicals and repairs any wound very quickly.Because Aloes are succulent, it is more likely that you overwater them than underwater them. Allow the soil to dry between waterings and water your Aloe plant less in the winter than in the warm months because the drying out process will be slower. Make sure that there is a drainage hole in the pot or provide a 1-2 inch layer of gravel in the bottom of the pot. When it is time to repot your plant, choose a wide planter, rather than a deep one because Aloes have a spreading root system.

An aloe plant doesn’t need supplementary feed, so don’t use the fertilizer or soil melioration. The place where you put your Aloe plant has to be well ventilated. Aloe plants love bright sun but they turn brown in harsh sunlight, so they should be kept in indirect light.When you need to use Aloe, just remove the lowest leaf from the plant. It is also the oldest one and the most potent medicinally. Do not worry, harvesting does not harm your plant. You will see that the cut will be sealed very quickly.

ALOE MULTIPLICATIONALOE MULTIPLICATION

As your Aloe Vera plant grows, you will notice that it starts to develop new shoots. These are smaller plants that will start to grow around a more mature plant. Separate them from the parent plant once they are about 2 inches high otherwise they will draw nutrients from the mother plant.

To do this, uproot the offshoots in the summer and leave them for a day to dry, then pot them. The transplanted pups may turn gray or brown for a while, which is normal. Water them well and do not water them again for about 3 weeks, forcing new roots to seek water.

SIGNS OF POOR CARESIGNS OF POOR CARE

1. The leaves lie flat instead of upright: your plant probably does not get enough sun light.

2. The leaves are thin and curled: your plant does not get enough water and has to use its own fluid.

3. The leaves turn brown: your plant gets too much direct sun light.

4. The tips of the leaves turn brown: this can be caused by chlorine or fluoride in municipal tap water. Use spring or mineral water.

5. Your plant is growing very slowly: the cause can be one of above: not enough water or sunlight or too much water or fertilizer.

6. Disease or infestation: The Aloe family is very resistant to affections and pests. But if it gets moldiness or red spider, treat the leaves using pesticide.

THE ALOE VERA CELLTHE ALOE VERA CELL

Davis, Robert H. (PhD). (1992, Autumn). Comments on the Aloe leaf. Aloe Today.

Abstract: General comments about Aloe including the structure of the leaf, how Aloe vera is made, skin penetration by mucilage and aloe vera, the aloe leaf assay, and the aloe vera cell.

We have looked at leaf cells from 90 to 50,000 magnification using stains that are specific for mucopolysaccharides.

The nucleus is clearly visible surrounded by two cell membranes that contain

http://www.desertharvest.com/physicians/documents/203-0.pdf


mucopolysaccharides which are being transferred into the cell lumen for storage.

Some of this long chain polysaccharide is transferred to the mucilage layer under the rind.

We feel that the lumen and the mucilage polysaccharide are biologically active. Possibly, the lumen polysaccharide may be a bit more active but more work needs to be done in this area. Also, we feel that the mucopolysaccharide can move across the cell membrane but how this occurs can only be speculation at this time. It looks as if it does not need to be broken down to smaller units to go from cell cytoplasm to the lumen for storage. Is the long chain polysaccharide biologically active? We feel that it is. The cellulose cell wall surrounds the cell membranes and unites with other cell walls.

How the nucleus controls the making of aloe vera in the cell cytoplasm and how the cell metabolizes the aloe for energy and growth will require further research.

COMMERCIAL MEDICINAL FORMS OF ALOECOMMERCIAL MEDICINAL FORMS OF ALOE

There are many commercial products with aloe available in stores.External applications include lotion, poultice, spray, shampoo, salve, gel and cream.Most people only know about external uses of aloe. They have heard that it is good for sunburns or cuts, but never heard about the internal uses of aloe.Internal forms include capsules, juice, powders, powder extracts and aloe latex (a yellow extract from the inner aloe leaf that acts as a powerful laxative).

Even if you think it is easier just to buy a commercial aloe product, like gel or juice, it is still not going to be the same as aloe juice squeezed from a fresh aloe leaf.

What scientific research has discovered recently is that the plants outer leaf and rind actually contain 200% more of the active therapeutic ingredients than the inner gel itself. The vast majority (95%) of aloe products on the market today only utilize the inner gel, throwing away the nutrient valuable leaf and rind. To make things worse, many companies use a high heat process to stabilize the gel, degrading much of enzymes, polysaccharides and mucopolysaccharides. These high heat pasteurization/ autoclave methods end up breaking down many of the most valuable healing components within the gel and killing off the live enzymes that are necessary for digestion. Only a few Aloe products utilize the whole leaf and use cold processing to preserve the vital nutrients (“Brand A” whole leaf Aloe concentrate is one of these notable exceptions).

The FDA has no control over the labeling of Aloe products making the claims by many companies rather scrupulous. For instance, a company can have a product that

of 90


contains only 10% Aloe and 90% water and still be able to label it as a 100% Aloe drink. The lack of regulations and guidelines allows Aloe Vera products that are devoid of any real nutrient and healing value to be sold on the market. Most scientist feel that the active enzymes and polysaccharides contained in unprocessed aloe are essential for the antiviral, anti fungal, anti inflammatory, immune enhancing and tissue healing properties of the plant.

'The gel is prepared commercially by many methods, some of them patented orproprietary processes. Most involve pressing, but some entail solvent extraction;according to Albert Leung, a natural products chemist (Leung. A. "Aloe vera Update: A New Form Questions Integrity of Old.'' Drug and Cosmetic Industry (September 1985): 42 - 46.), properties of commercial gel products produced by solvent extraction vary greatly and generally are not the same as aloe gel squeezed from a fresh aloe leaf.Aloe products are available in liquid and solid form. The most popular liquids areconcentrates of various strengths; “spray-dried'' aloe vera is the most popular solid product. Although commercial liquid concentrates are usually genuine, Leung suggests that the higher the concentration of aloe, the more degradation it has undergone. He also warns that despite claims that solid products are 200x[mult. sign] concentrates of pure aloe gel, most contain large proportions of fillers such as acacia gum, guar gum, locust bean gum, lactose, and hydrolyzed starch.According to Leung, the commercial "juice'' is normally produced by diluting aloe vera gel with water and adding citric acid and/or other preservatives. It is also sometimes mixed with other herbal extracts or fruit juices. Despite label claims of purity, Leung points out that the juice may contain only a very small percentage of aloe vera gel.'Foster, Steven. (N.D.). Aloe vera: The succulent with skin-soothing, cell-protecting properties.

When you purchase commercial aloe products, remember that Aloe juice should contain at least 95% Aloe Vera. And Aloe beverages should contain at least 50% Aloe Vera. Unfortunately, some Aloe drinks may contain only 10% Aloe Vera.

So, how can you make sure that you get what you pay for?When you purchase a product with aloe, look for the IASC Certification Seal. If you find it on the label, it means that the aloe contained in the products or raw materials you purchased is of the highest quality.“The International Aloe Science Council Certification Program was born of necessity in the early 1980's. Due to abuse in the representation of the true amount of aloe in aloe products, either raw materials or in consumer products, the IASC began to

formulate a plan similar to the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval or the National Sanitation Foundation certification programs.” ( www.iasc.org )

MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDEDMORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED

Due to the reports of this plants wide array of medical properties, the scientific community has been paying closer attention to Aloe Vera over the last several decades. Publications in reputable scientific journals have shed light on how Aloe functions and how it can be further utilized to benefit humankind. Chemical analysis of the plant has revealed that it is made up of wide range of different organic and inorganic components with glucomannans, a carbohydrate polymer, a being one of the more notable substances it contains. Despite all of the recent scientific inquiry, researchers remain uncertain as to which of the components in the Aloe Vera plant are responsible for the reported physiological properties. Further study of Aloe Vera: “nature’s gift”, is needed in order to unravel the mystery surrounding the underlying functional properties of the plant.

HOW TO PREPARE ALOE JUICE AT HOME USINGHOW TO PREPARE ALOE JUICE AT HOME USING SIMPLE AND BIOGENIC STIMULATION METHODSSIMPLE AND BIOGENIC STIMULATION METHODS

SIMPLE METHODSIMPLE METHODCut off the lowest leaves from your aloe plant. Remember that the older plant, the more healing potency there is in it. The leaves should be at least 6 inches (or 15 cm) long. Cut the leaves into small pieces or grind them, then squeeze and filter the juice. You can also boil it for 3 minutes. Use the juice immediately because it loses its potency in a while.“...if aloe is heated, its active ingredients (anti-inflammatory carboxyl peptidase and enzymes such as prolease inhibitors) can be impaired, and be accompanied by an increase in aloin due to exposure to heat and oxygen.”Fujita, Keisuke, Beppu, Hidehiko, Kawai, Kaoru, & Shinpo, Kan. (1992, Winter). Ancient herb in new form delivers proven effects. Aloe Today, 9-13.

BIOGENIC STIMULATION METHODBIOGENIC STIMULATION METHODYou can prepare especially effective aloe juice, using the biogenic stimulation method suggested by an outstanding Russian ophthalmologist, clinician, scientist and Academician V.P. Filatov (1875-1956). In his famous work 'Tissue Therapy (Treatment by Biogenic Stimulators)' he wrote: "All living tissue, cut from its support and kept in conditions where it is difficult to survive, will create substances that will make it possible for the tissue to survive."

This method has already been successfully used in treating various diseases in the last 70 years. It has passed prolonged clinical tests and has been highly appraised in many countries. 'Active biogenic substunces released by damaged animal and plant tissues have been described by different authors under various names: Carrell - “trephones”, Tusznow - “histolysates”, Haberlandt - “wound hormones”, Caspari - “necrohormones”, Fischer - “desmones”, Filatov - “biogenic stimulators”, and Menteuffel - “counter substances”(cit.acc.to'). Although their chemical structure is unknown, the biologic stimulating action of these substances on repair processes in the body is beyond doubt, as demonstrated by numerous experimental and clinical studies'Fortak, Waldemar. (1964). Biostymin, extract of Aloe histologic and histochemical studies on the influence of biostymin on regeneration of hepatic parenchyma in white rats. Archivum Immunologiae El Therapiae Experimentalis,12, 80-95.

1. Do not water your aloe plant for a few days, ideally for two weeks. Your plant should be 3-5 years old to be fully potent.

2. Wrap the leaves in a piece of black paper (roll the paper around the leaves, leave the both ends open).

3. Put the leaves on the lowest shelf of your refrigerator and keep them there for a few days, usually for 12-14 days.

In these poor conditions all live processes are going to die out. Then the plant cells summon up all their strength to survive and form special substances – so-called biogenic stimulators – that arouse cell's life activity.The juice made from aloe leaves using this method has bio-stimulators that stimulate cells of an ill organ when is used on the body. It improves metabolism in skin tissue, increases the ability of your body to resist illnesses and helps to regenerate the skin

cells. It is especially effective for treating skin disorders, radiation burns, dermatitis, eczema, shingles and ringworm.

To prepare mellowed aloe juice, delete the leaves that turned into a dark or black color, wash the green ones, cut them into small pieces and add 3 parts cool boiled water for 1 part aloe leaves. Leave it in a dark cool place for 1 ½ hours and then squeeze the juice. You can use it fresh or preserve it by adding 2 parts vodka for 8 parts juice.

Be careful using this very powerful juice. It is important to follow the recipes.

BEAUTY REMEDIES USING ALOE VERABEAUTY REMEDIES USING ALOE VERA

Aloe Vera was found to contain many important proteins, vitamins, minerals, and energy releasing substances, making it an excellent nutritional supplement. It was also found that Aloe Vera could rapidly penetrate into the skin and deliver vital nutrients to the epidermis. Several different enzymes were also found to reside within the plant whose activities have mystified researchers. They could not really explain it, but somehow Aloe Vera was helping promote the removal of dead skin and stimulate growth in living cells.

of 90


All of the above characteristics turn out to be vitally important when it comes to taking care of your skin. In order to understand why, it is important to take a closer look at the skin itself:

The skin is comprised of three different layers:

✔ Epidermis: The outer surface, which is comprised of living surface cells whose main job is to protect your body from the environment. The epidermis also provides the body with an additional means of waste removal when the outermost layers of cells die and are shed. The epidermis receives no blood, the living cells depending upon the dermis below them for their nutritional needs.

✔ Dermis: Directly below the epidermis lies the dermis, which holds the blood supply and provides structure and strength to the skin. The hair shafts are contained within the dermis, along with tiny muscles and oil glands.

✔ Hypodermis: Below the dermis lies this soft layer of fatty tissue that helps insulate the body. Along with the dermis, the hypodermis houses the sweat glands, hair follicles, nerves and blood vessels.

As we age, the walls of our arteries and veins thicken and it becomes harder and harder for our blood system to deliver the vital nutrients that the outer lying skin cells need to keep the skin looking supple and youthful. Aloe Vera, with its unique above mentioned properties, helps improve the health of our skin by penetrating deep into the skin layers providing our epidermis with essential vitamins and proteins, stimulating cell growth and removing the dead skin cells.

ALOE: A SUPER PENETRATORALOE: A SUPER PENETRATOR

Since the epidermis has no blood supply of its own, it is the layer in particular that is affected by Aloe Vera when the gel is used to nourish the skin from the outside. The skin of a person who uses a good Aloe Vera supplement will have a noticeably more youthful glow about it making the person look and feel younger. When taken internally, aloe vera helps promote healthy cell renewal and the manufacturing of collagen, a skin supporting protein. It also helps fight off wrinkles and aging skin by helping the skin derma produce more human fibroblasts at rate of six to eight times faster than usual. When used on a regular basis, Aloe Vera can take five to seven years off how you look.

You may have wondered why Aloe is added to so many different moisturizers, shampoos and aftershave creams. It is because Aloe has super penetrating powers. According to E. Danhof PhD, MD, a retired physiology professor at the University of Texas, aloe vera gel penetrates through the human skin almost four times faster than water.

Aloe can also be found in deodorants because of its ability to neutralize odor-causing

of 90


bacteria, reduce perspiration and keep the skin dry. It also has many other cosmetic uses: including being used as a skin tightening astringent, a complexion rejuvenator and a hair strengthener. In fact, you can find Aloe being used in just about every product from toiletries to tissues, in tights and other clothing. It is even added to toilet paper.

ABOUT THE AUTHORABOUT THE AUTHORMy name is Yulia Berry. I became a health researcher because I am allergic to a lot of medicine and always had to look for alternative cures. I tried many of them and found that they really work and do not give any allergic reactions. Since then it has become my passion to collect alternative cures. Every remedy in my collection has been tried by real people who had success with it.

A part of my huge collection has been published on my website Great Home Remedies.Many home remedies in my collection are based on aloe's healing abilities. This plant is very popular in homemade medicine. People just use aloe without questioning HOW it works because the remedies were passed down by their parents or grandparents. In September 2007 I released this e-book 'Aloe - Your Miracle Doctor'.

In April 2008 I published my report "Pharmacy In Vegetables", where you can learn how to use the science behind the health benefits of vegetables to improve your health, delay aging and cure major diseases. It is filled with over 140 home and beauty remedies using just simple vegetables from your refrigerator, acknowledged by the newest scientific research.I am planning to continue writing more e-books on interesting and unusual topics related to home remedies. Hopefully, you will get a chance to read them.

Thanks for your kind interest and all the best in your health and success,
