The Health Benefits of Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera gel is often thought as having one specific function: cooling and helping to heal sunburns. In fact, Aloe is an amazing plant with a wide ability to aid in the healing process, to protect, moisturize, and even extend life. It was used in ancient times for medicinal purposes, and its relevancy has not diminished today. Aloe’s usefulness continues to grow as scientists study its properties and possible applications.

Aloe Vera is a cellular regenerator and has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effects. These properties alone contribute to Aloe’s place as one of nature’s healthiest products. WorldwideHealth.com’s Health Library lists magnesium lactate, an itch inhibitor, in the minerals contained in the plant. Therefore, in bringing relief to insect bites, acne, sunburns, rashes, and other topical conditions, Aloe makes sense.

But what about the less frequent uses of Aloe? Should Aloe be considered as an addition to diet and lifestyle? Aloe can purportedly do so much more than soothe irritated skin. Taken internally, it can be used as a laxative and to destroy certain bacteria or parasites in the intestines. Unsubstantiated claims include that it can help heal ulcers and settle a queasy stomach. There are a dozen uses for Aloe that have been integrated into modern alternative medicine, and scientists have been able to study some of these claims.

Dr. Timothy E. Moore’s research on Aloe and dental health at the International Aloe Science Council (IASC) describes gel from the plant as having the ability to heal, control the accumulation of fluids, and reduce pain. He has also found that in denture patients, aloe can reduce inflammation and discomfort caused by fungi and bacteria. Other uses include post periodontal surgery and on cracks and lesions found inside and outside the mouth.

In a study performed by the Department of Physiology at the University of Texas Health Science Center, lab rats were given a 10% greater life span by ingesting Aloe. The animals showed lowered occurrences of various diseases including arterial thrombosis and leukemia. In addition, no adverse side effects were found in the rats on a diet that included Aloe.

While anyone considering alternative medicine to treat conditions should consult their physician first, Aloe may be a viable remedy for various ailments. Through observation and further tests, scientists have proven that the healing effects of Aloe extend beyond merely soothing sunburn. Future studies should bring credibility to other claims of Aloe’s diverse medical benefits.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Yes.
What you should do is treat the tap water with prime, stress coat, amquel plus, Weco Instant DeChlor or any other conditioner that will make tap water safe for fish.
Your gonna need to remove chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals that can be toxic to your fish.
I personally use and prefer weco instant dechlor since you only add to tiny drops per gallon and then stir it a little and then let it sit for 10 minutes and then Pour the treated tap water in your tank. The best part is the little ounce last about 1000 gallons and it was only 2.50 dollars at my local pet store.

Chloe Adisson answers:

First, before adding fish you should of cycled your tank. Since you already added your fish you must do a cycle with fish. Learn about the nitrogen cycle here: http://www.fishlore.com/NitrogenCycle.htm

The link above is very helpful. I would get water conditioner as soon as you can and add it to his tank. Then it should be more safe than before, although it isn’t cycled.

A common goldfish needs 75 gallons when fully grown, and a fancy goldfish needs 30 gallons with double filtration, (ex: 30 gallon tank, 60 gallon filter)

Good Luck, and Hope this Helps.

Chloe Adisson answers:

This sounds very suspicious. I do not disagree for a moment that fruit is very good stuff. However, much of the reasoning in this sounds a lot like pseudoscience and quackery.
Examples:

“Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this??”
No. Frankly I am cannot. The causes of cancer are very complex and to make such simplistic statements is nonsensical.

“Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.”
These are extremely large and general claims. Since they seem too good to be true, they probably are.

“If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. ”
As for the last point. Note also that claims like ‘happiness’ and ‘health’ are very vague and would be difficult to prove anyway.

“If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.”
Why should it need to mix with the saliva? Why would that help? Saliva breaks down starch into sugar. It also begins the process of breaking down fats. Most fruits have insignificant starch and fat content. So, what would saliva do to be so beneficial.

I must say that I tend to eat fruit before eating anything else anyway. Not because of all this nonsense. Just because, while I am getting the water boiling for macaroni, toasting bread etc, I eat it as a snack. Will doing so magically ward off cancer? I doubt it.

People always think they know best until they find out they have made a total mess of things. Then they still persist oftentimes. Selfishness and greed often cause these problems and the foolish thought that everything will sort itself out. A radical rethink is often what is needed and appropriate action to follow.

The LORD God has given us such a beautiful world yet so many do not value it until it’s too late.

Aloe vera is full of anti-oxidants – natural immune enhancers which fight free radicals within our body. Free radicals are thought to cause various ailments, as well as speeding up the ageing process. Drinking aloe vera juice regularly gives the body a continual supply of anti-oxidants, which may boost and enhance the immune system.

3. Healthy Digestion and Digestive Problems

A healthy digestive tract ensures that nutrients from the foods we eat are absorbed fully into our bloodstream. Aloe vera juice has natural detoxifying abilities. Drinking aloe vera juice seems to improve bowel regularity and increases protein absorption, while at the same time decrease unfriendly bacteria and yeast – all naturally. Aloe vera has shown it can help reduce and soothe heartburn and other digestive upsets.

4. Reduces Inflammation

5. Regulates Weight and Energy Levels

Taken regularly, aloe vera juice ensures a greater feeling of well-being, allowing energy levels to increase and helps maintain a healthy body weight.

6. Daily Dose of Vitamins & Minerals

Aloe vera juice contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12 (the aloe vera plant is one of the few plants in the world to contain vitamin B12), C, E, Folic Acid and Niacin. The human body cannot store some of these vitamins, so we need to supplement them regularly through our diet. The minerals found in aloe vera include Calcium, Sodium, Iron, Potassium, Manganese, Copper, Zinc, Magnesium, Chromium.

7. Collagen and Elastin Repair for Healthy Skin

Drinking aloe vera juice adds a rich supply of raw materials to your diet, which can produce and maintain really healthy skin. The skin replaces itself every 28 days. Using the nutritional building blocks of aloe vera, the skin can use these nutrients daily to help combat the effects of ageing. Aloe vera also helps in soothing minor burns, cuts, scrapes and skin irritations.

8. Amino Acids

The human body requires 20 amino acids to build protein; 8 of these amino acids are ‘essential’ which means the body can’t make them itself. Aloe vera contains 19 of these amino acids, and 7 of the essential amino acids. So drinking aloe vera juice tops up your body’s daily supply.

9. Dental Health and Hygiene

Aloe vera is extremely helpful for your mouth and gums. As well as its natural anti-bacterial and anti-microbial actions, it contains vitamins and minerals which promote cell growth and healing. There are some toothgels available which contain a high level of pure aloe vera, which may help with bleeding gums and mouth ulcers.

10. Better than Supplements

Recent research has shown that adding good foods to our diets, with naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, is far better than adding supplements alone. The good news is that Aloe Vera juice is considered a food, rather than a manufactured supplement, so our bodies can absorb all the nutrients more easily, and utilize them more effectively.
