Aloe

[ReneM]

A natural medicine for cancer, cholesterol, diabetes, inflammation, IBS, and other health conditions
In fact, my yard is an aloe farm, and each day before I {Mike Adams} make my superfood breakfast smoothie, I walk out to my yard, slice off an aloe vera leaf, thank the plant for granting me its healing medicine, then I fillet the leaf and drop the aloe vera gel into my blender. A few minutes later, I'm enjoying the most impressive medicinal herb that nature has ever created. ..........

When I say aloe vera is the most impressive medicinal herb invented by nature, I don't make that statement lightly. Of all the herbs I've ever studied -- and I've written thousands of articles on nutrition and disease prevention -- aloe vera is the most impressive herb of them all. (Garlic would be a close second.) There is nothing on this planet that offers the amazing variety of healing benefits granted by aloe vera. In a single plant, aloe vera offers potent, natural medicine that:

• Halts the growth of cancer tumors.
• Lowers high cholesterol.
• Repairs "sludge blood" and reverses "sticky blood".
• Boosts the oxygenation of your blood.
• Eases inflammation and soothes arthritis pain.
• Protects the body from oxidative stress.
• Prevents kidney stones and protects the body from oxalates in coffee and tea.
• Alkalizes the body, helping to balance overly acidic dietary habits.
• Cures ulcers, IBS, Crohn's disease and other digestive disorders.
• Reduces high blood pressure natural, by treating the cause, not just the symptoms.
• Nourishes the body with minerals, vitamins, enzymes and glyconutrients.
• Accelerates healing from physical burns and radiation burns.
• Replaces dozens of first aid products, makes bandages and antibacterial sprays obsolete.
• Halts colon cancer, heals the intestines and lubricates the digestive tract.
• Ends constipation.
• Stabilizes blood sugar and reduces triglycerides in diabetics.
• Prevents and treats candida infections.
• Protects the kidneys from disease.
• Functions as nature's own "sports drink" for electrolyte balance, making common sports drinks obsolete.
• Boosts cardiovascular performance and physical endurance.
• Speeds recovery from injury or physical exertion.
• Hydrates the skin, accelerates skin repair.

Truly, there is nothing else that compares to the medicinal potential of aloe vera. And yet most people only know about the topical applications of aloe vera gel. They think it's only good for sunburns. In reality, aloe vera is useful for both external and internal use.


Aloe vera halts inflammation
Using aloe topically is well known to ease inflammation of joints, reducing arthritis pain. But aloe can also be used internally, reducing inflammation throughout the body from the inside out. People who drink aloe vera for two weeks typically begin to experience a significant reduction of inflammation symptoms.

Aloe vera relieves joint and muscle pain
This effect is directly related to the inflammation factor mentioned above. It works when used both internally and externally. Essentially, aloe reduces overall inflammation. Of course, is you continue eating a pro-inflammatory diet (red meat, milk, sugar, white flour, fried foods etc.) then you'll never get rid of all your inflammation with aloe alone, but aloe can help ease your pain while you transition to a healthier lifestyle that eliminates the inflammation for good!

Aloe vera amplifies the antioxidant effects of vitamins
This is an especially interesting effect of aloe: It makes vitamin C, vitamin E and other antioxidants work better! It actually potentiates antioxidants, probably due to its effect on enhancing blood quality and allowing the blood to more effectively transport oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells. In fact, it is my belief that aloe vera makes everything nutritious work better due to its blood-enhancing effects. If I'm right about that, it means aloe can potentiate anti-cancer herbs, too, helping them more effectively target tumors.

Aloe vera actually contains advanced biochemical technology that the drug companies can only help to understand someday. This technology was built by nature, and it's 100% compatible with the human body. All you have to do to experience this technology for yourself is eat aloe vera gel!

Aloe vera cures ulcers, IBS, Crohn's disease and Celiac disease Polysaccharides in the aloe vera plant have curative effects on numerous digestive disorders. The Internet is a storehouse of information and testimonials about aloe vera curing IBS, ulcers, Crohn's disease and other disorders of the digestive tract. This is one of the best-known applications of aloe vera gel.

Taking aloe certainly isn't a magic bullet cure, of course. It won't reverse your disease after drinking one glass of aloe vera gel. It needs to be used regularly. Most people report positive results in 3 - 30 days, depending on the condition.

Aloe vera contains acemannan, a natural immune booster
There's research being done now on the anti-cancer effects of acemannan, a phytonutrient found in aloe vera. In one study, dogs and cats undergoing radiation for cancer were given acemannan as an adjunctive therapy. Not only did the tumors shrink more in the acemannan-treated group, but post-treatment survival was significantly extended.


Aloe vera is antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal. This fact is well known by not just herbalists around the world, but also by anyone with even a hint of common sense. If aloe vera gel wasn't antibacterial, then any little nick or scrape of the aloe plant would result in the whole thing being eaten up by bacteria. Aloe has to be antibacterial simply to survive in the wild! Otherwise, the moist, nutrient-rich gel would be a perfect breeding ground for bacteria.

Aloe vera makes most first aid kits obsolete. You can get rid of all those silly, toxic first aid sprays (antibacteria sprays, lotions, bandages, etc.) and just replace them all with aloe vera. I've been known to pack small chunks of aloe vera gel inside wounds that ultimately healed with zero scarring. As the aloe vera dries, it actually contracts, pulling the wound shut and keeping it completely free of dangerous bacteria. Plus, it provides nourishment to the wound tissue itself. It's also perfect for use on animals, because if they lick the wound, they won't be licking the toxic chemicals found in most first aid products.


What's in aloe vera gel:
• Water
• 20 minerals
• 12 vitamins
• 18 amino acids
• 200 active plant compounds (phytonutrients), including:
• Enzymes
• Triterpenes (a phytonutrient that lowers blood sugar)
• Glyconutrients & glycoproteins
• Polysaccharides, including:
• Acemannan, mannose-6-phosphate polymannans
• Phenolic glycosides, including:
• Dihydrocoumarins

THE HERBAL CORNER

Aloe Vera

Most people are aware that aloe vera is a miracle plant used to promote the healing of burns and skin abrasions. What they may not be aware of is the juice of the aloe vera leaves is extremely beneficial when taken internally. The list of ailments, which aloe vera is known effective against, makes it sound like the Superman of herbal treatments!

It appears that a key active ingredient in aloe is the mucopolysaccharides, which are long chain molecules composed of sugar units. These molecules seem to synergistically enhance the immune system due to the belief that they resemble components of the cell walls of bacteria, thus stimulating immune responses.

Aloe Vera has long, light-green leaves and sagging purple-and-yellow blooms. There are over 200 species and they generally grow in dry climates. The plant yields two therapeutic substances: a translucent gel obtained from the inner leaves and a bitter yellow juice known as latex found just beneath the surface of the leaves. It has been discovered that using the entire leaf, the pulp and the rind, of the aloe barbadensis (true aloe or aloe vera) is more biologically beneficial than using the pulp only. The latex, which contains an active ingredient called aloin, acts as a powerful laxative. The translucent gel works externally to relieve minor burns, skin irritations, and infections. If taken internally, the gel provides relief from stomach disorders, reduces inflammation, and is good for food allergy and colon disorder sufferers.

Aloe may also be helpful for fighting arthritis, substance abuse, aids, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, psoriasis, asthma, lupus, scleroderma, ulcers, shingles, yeast and fungal infections, chronic dermatitis, Crohn's Disease, as well as staph and strep infections!

Traditional target ailments include:

- digestive disorders, gastritis, stomach ulcers, colitis
- hemorrhoids, rectal itching
- constipation
- minor burns, infections in wounds, insect bites
- bruising, chicken pox, sunburn, poison ivy, welts
- eczema and acne
- irritated eyes

If too much is used, the aloe latex can cause intestinal cramps, leading to ulcers or irritated bowels. If you are pregnant or have a gastrointestinal illness, aloe vera should be taken internally only upon the advice of a physician, herbalist, or licensed healthcare professional. Beware of lower priced aloe products. Some aloe formulations consist of heavily diluted aloe juice, which produces little, if any, benefit.

Thank you so much for the great information I will try to get this as soon as possible. What a blessing to have a garden in your yard. You are so blessed to have one. I wish I had one myself. Thanks for the links you applied.

Great information, thanks for sharing. Recently I have learned from my pharmist that natural quine is a great pain reliever. I posted an article about this some months back. My grandson works at a chemical plant and their were 3 chemicals all different , spills and leaks and all 3 were different chemicals. My grandson was told to go to the safety room as he was very dizzy and vometing. When the safety man checked him , his blook pressure was so high he could have had a stroke. He was told he couldn't drive and had to wait for some one to come get him. We brought him to our family doctor and he was amazed by the vital signes of an 18 yr old. He immediately ordered testings and found everything normal inso far as the test results .But he never expected a chemical leak had done this to my grandson. It took over a week for my grandsons blood pressure to return to normal. During a routine check up after the first visit I asked if chemical spills or leaks could have done this to my grandson and the doctor asked if they had had any. To my suprized I found out that on an average their are at least 3 or more chemical leaks and they go into into the air we breath. Sooner or later it will reach you because we all breath the same air. The chem trails were terrible the past month and all of us were feeling down. I suggest you all go to U-Tube and put in the search engine ChemTrails and watch what is being spraied on us daily. You will be shocked. I could go on and on but for now I'll leave you with this information. In nature their are plants that cure every illness. Wish someone had a book with all of the cures. I do have Dr.hulda Clarks book ,"The Cure For all Dieases". She has written several books and has new information in her newsletter .
