Most of us know about Aloe Vera's magical ability to heal skin problems: sores, cuts, scrapes, bites, and lesions.However, not many people are aware that Aloe Vera, when taken internally, has a stunning reputation as a healing substance for all kinds of illnesses and degenerative conditons.
"Aloe Vera juice, when taken internally, has been found to be effective in almost every illness, including cancer, heart disease, and AIDS. In fact, there is hardly any disease or health problem for which Aloe Vera has not been proved successful."
"It is helpful for all kinds of allergies, skin diseases, blood disorders, arthritis, infections, candida, cysts, diabetes, eye problems, digestive problems, ulcers, liver diseases, hemorrhoids, high blood pressure, kidney stones, and strokes, to name just a few."
"Aloe Vera contains over 200 nutrients, including the vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E, Folic acid, calcium, magnesium, oopper, barium, sulphate, 18 amino acids, important enzymes, glycosides, polysaccharides, etc."
Aloe Vera is one of the few substances that can be used to heal radiation burns caused by X-rays or nuclear disasters. He notes that Aloe Vera, when used regularly, reduces the scaling and itching of psoriasis, and greatly improves the appearance of the skin.
Here's a passage from a recent newsletter by Doctor Jon Barron:
"Aloe has been well known for centuries for its healing properties, and both oral intake and topical dressings have been documented to facilitate healing of any kind of skin wound, burn, or scald -- even speeding recovery time after surgery."
"Situations to try it on include blisters, insect bites, rashes, sores, herpes, urticaria, athlete's foot, fungus, vaginal infections, conjunctivitis, sties, allergic reactions, and dry skin."
"Internally, Aloe Vera is showing real promise in the fight against AIDS, and that virus has become undetectible in some patients who used it on a regular basis, due to its immune system stimulant properties."
"It also seems to help in cancer patients (including lung cancer) by activating the white blood cells and promoting growth of non-cancerous cells."
"Other situations in which it appears to work when taken internally, include intestinal worms, indigestion, colitis, hemorrhoids, liver problems such as cirrhosis and hepatitis, prostate problems,and as a general detoxifier."
Here are some passages from a newsletter of the Grain and Salt Society. The column was by Doctor Jeri Heyman. In it, she quotes from a book by Dr. Robert Davis entitled, ALOE VERA: A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH.
"Fresh Aloe Vera is profoundly anti- inflammatory. The Aloe plant contains naturally occurring plant sterols that act similarly to synthetic steroids in blocking inflammation. Fresh Aloe's largest polsaccharides enhance the immune cells inflammation-control mechanisms."
"Aloe Vera is tissue-regenerating in three different ways. The large polysaccharides, unique to fresh, raw Aloe Vera, have been demonstrated to stimulate the release of growth factor by the immune cells, thus stimulating new tissue production."
"A different size polysaccharide in Aloe, directly stimulates the tissue production cells to produce new tissue. And third, the Aloe plant contains plant-growth-factors that act like human growth factors to stimulate the regeneration of tissue."
"The constituents in fresh Aloe Vera can directly enhance the immune cell function up to 10 times greater than normal. This helps to clean up the digestive and elimination systems. The immune cells can gobble up to 10 times more unwanted yeast, fungus, and undigested food when enhanced by Aloe."
"Aloe Vera is the most penetrating substance on Earth. It catapults itself into cells 5 times more easily than water, bringing nutrients into cells and encouraging the outflow of toxic waste."
