  1. Why is 'able to reduce wrinkles completely naturally' crossed out?

    1. The link they have assigned to that text is unavailable Mary. i think the auto formatting crosses of, if some link is not available.

  2. So, straight from the source? Can you eat the gel from your own plant?

      Can you eat the gel from you own plants? I have tons of plants I raise it..

    2. Yes absolutely!
      I eat the gel from the plant in my kitchen garden. Just take out a nice plump leaf from the plant, peel off a very thin layer of the skin, remove the side thorns and eat just the inside gel or pulp. You can have it with water if you dont like its taste.
      If you are growing your own plant, then give it natural organic fertilisers like dried cow dung or compost made from kitchen waste, leaves and twigs.

  3. I use aloe for healing allergic eczema, sun burns, to use it in the smoothies… I saw immediate benefits on my face simply as a face mask . I believe that the real meat and juice of fresh or frozen plant is potent… and I really can not say it about stored juice or gels

    Don’t eat the green or yellow part of the aloe leaf, unless you want really bad diarrhea. Also, Aloe is useless a few hours after it is picked. you must use it immediately or the active ingredient is all gone. The active ingredient is acetylated polymannose or the official name is Acemannan.

    If you use a supplement that has not been fully stabilized then it has almost no acemannan. This long chain of mannose sugar molecules are responsible for the immune systems functioning correctly so skin is the least of what it can do. I have used one source of acemannan that is concentrated and fully stabilized. It takes 600 to 1000 pounds of aloe vera to make one pound of the supplement that I use and boy does it work for all manner of body repairs, skin and everything else.

      What is the supplement you take? I am eager to try it.
      Thanks

      1. This article mentions the clear gel out of the leaf. I think it is ridiculous to use so many pounds of a plant to make 1 pound of supplement. I’d consider it a scam to squeeze more money out the customers but I do not know the whole story behind it.

    2. Which supplement do you use ?
      Thanks,

      I put about half of a leaf in my daily smoothie. Peel back the skin, kind of like fileting a fish without the smell, then as my smoothie is mixing I rub the skin peels on my arms and neck. I have worked in the sun most of my life, so it’s kind of a preventative for melanoma. I can’t tell you how much better I feel. ulcers gone. I’m no youngster. When I bump into something, I get a black and blue mark. Most times the bump creates a bleeding situation as well. No more. The only time I bleed is when I’m picking weeds in the Bromeliads. Aloe Vera is a 2 thumbs up.

    When you cut a piece of the leave, there is a red-yellow liquid that goes out of the plant. I heard that it is necessary to wait a moment until this liquid has gone, and after we can use the gel.

  6. How long would you have to leave the aloe gel on your face?

    1. blank Theobromine says:

      You don't – you DRINK it! It works from the inside out. I add one or two ounces of aloe vera juice (bottled) to my smoothies a couple times a week or whenever I don't have enough liqiud I use it instead of adding water.

    2. you should keep the aloe vera gel a minimum of one hour. best is to apply at night before going to bed and leave it over night. Regular application for 2 3 months will make the skin smooth, soft and remove dark spots.
      The is gel is easily absorbed by the skin without making it oily or sticky.
      Also, use the fresh gel from the plant immediately once you pluck it as it loses its healing properties once it gets oxidized.

  7. I keep several large plants that are over 5yrs old and quite large.Found a formula from "Father Zago",aloe,honey,and a small amount of alcohol,to emulsify and blend the two.The formula is supposedly for serious disease,but I like to use it as an occansional tonic.

  8. Is there any way to nudge Doug Bullock to give us the reply we've been asking for?
