Most
of aloes are of African origins but also from Arabia, Madagascar and Yemeni
Sokotra.
Aloes family consists in more than 250 species of which only a few
are of medicinal use (aloe socotrina,with
red flowers, very valued in the past;
African
aloe, the most widespread until recently; Barbadensis
Aloe, with green or blue leaves depending on the variety, which
ousted the African; aloe ferox and
aloe
saponaria widely used (cooking, drinks and medicinal preparations)
in the Far East, and aloe arborescens,
wild medicinal aloe used by the Russians. In Western Europe, aloe
vera is used in pharmacology as well as in dieting and cosmetics.
|
From the middle of the
19th century, modern science seized this prodigious plant. In
1851, Smith and Stenhouse identify the active
ingredient: aloin, believed to be the source of the plant’s
purgative power.

Aloe is a first class biological regulator by helping the enzyme
production, therefore reinforces the general immune system (helps build
antibodies), and the metabolism (digestion: the enzymatic breakdown
makes the food compounds soluble in water and transportable).
Because 80% of immunity depends on the intestine,
aloe allows the end of this vicious circle.
As external use, it anaesthetizes the tissues, and therefore stops pain and itching. Also, the aloe vera pulp is a very complete energetic food. Finally, in dermatology, it revitalizes the tissues...

In all allergy cases,
the
immune system reacts excessively and violently to non-dangerous
and usually harmless substances such as: cat hair, microscopic defecation,
acarids, lactose from cow milk, pollens.... not counting complex allergies
that are difficult to identify (and avoid).
Allergic diseases are on the rise notably because of a weakened immunity
(environment,
life conditions, bad diets).
- To prevent allergies, it is counselled to breast feed newborns and to never smoke in enclosed space with infants, toddlers and children. The living space should be kept clean of allergens: eating according to the season, choosing whole food and avoiding a large choice of exotic food. Keeping the home (especially the bedroom) clean of allergens (avoid rugs and furniture with noxious varnishes). Juices,
aloe ferox and aloe vera fresh pulp have often been used with
success in treating all kinds of allergies. The therapeutic substances,
among others, are the polysaccharides (general support of the immune
system) and the g-sitosterol fatty acid (B) (raising
the tolerance threshold).

Today, some seropositive
individuals are drinking aloe vera and aloe ferox
juices in large quantities because we believe it can slow the
breaking of diseases. Exact doses are being established. An American study
using the country’s aloe vera analysed a (very small) number of patients
with AIDS symptoms, and showed that the evolution of the disease is
slowed and bettered. These patients were suffering less of the typical
symptoms of the disease than the others...

- DIABETES: Aloes juicecure, and if necessary, external applications of Aloe vera (+ diet).
- GASTRIC ULCERS and colitis: juice and pulp of stabilized aloe vera.
- HEPATIC insufficiency and troubles, alcohol abuse and to prevent cirrhosis: drinkable aloe vera.
- BLADDER and KIDNEY problems (activate circulation in tissues and excretion): aloe ferox
|
Aloe helps the bloodstream and its oxygenation,
balances the iron deficiency, and cleans it.

The body’s largest organ:
skin, it protects internal organs against external stress, viruses,
bacteria, fungus and UV rays.
Skin is structured in 3 layers:
- epidermis: first protective barrier
from outside (with the stratum corneum), thermal regulation
- dermis: sensory organ, feeds the epidermis - hypodermis: water reservoir acting as an insulation layer. Most cosmetics work only
at the epidermis level. Conventional cosmetologists tried to use "carriers",
specific transport mechanism of active ingredients towards the deep skin
layers (liposome).
Aloe gel, which does
not have this artificial liposome membrane,
still
has natural transport mechanism able to travel through deeper skin layers
of
healthy or broken skin. Working directly on
collagen,
aloe gel
procures skin elasticity.
The large number of complex polysaccharides is able to hold large quantities
of water (hydrating effect), smoothening
the skin and giving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles. Although it penetrates
the deep layers, the aloe gels create a hydrating layer on the skin protecting
against the wind, salt, sun or dirt.
To help regenerate
the skin (anti free radical effect), it
is better to apply the aloe gel before or instead of night skin cream and
make sure that it penetrates the skin well before applying other creams
or ampules.

ATOPIC ECZEMA
|
Serious disease with
violent
and repetitive crisis. The skin is broken and no longer protects.
In order to attenuate the itching and to protect against infections due
to the broken skin, doctors prescribe cortisone
based creams. The skin usually becomes too thin and loses its elasticity.
If dermatologists believe it is an incurable disease,
natural therapists consider that it is like an autoimmune disease.
Anyone, no matter how old can suffer with atopic eczema. Genetic predisposition can be a main factor but a longer breastfeed can protect a child. Among other things, a very weak immune system or an allergy can trigger atopic eczema. In the intestine, there are 400 kinds of bacteria balanced between “good” and “bad” ones. The rising number of atopic eczema could be due to dysbiosis (imbalance in the intestinal flora). Psychological state, metabolism, environment and diet could also be a factor. An aloe
ferox or aloe vera and aloe gel high dosed treatment (to
be individually evaluated) could be beneficial in the case of atopic
eczema and other eczema like skin disorders. The cooling and hydrating
effect soothe immediately the itching, renew
the broken skin
and the deeper cells. It is necessary to complement with evening primrose,
calendula, beta-carotene or natural vitamin A based cream or fatty oil.
|
This incurable disease is usually internal and external. The treatment can only concern the symptoms. Many who drank a lot of aloe juice and applied the gel several times a day could find relief.
Aloe gel stimulates the skin pigmentation cells (melanin) and therefore the tanning. In case of long sun exposure, Aloe gel helps avoid redness and blisters.In the case of serious sunburn, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in order to avoid the warming up of burned cells, which could kill the healthy surrounding cells.
Burns gravity can be divided in 4 categories. Apart from the pain and the wounds, there is always a risk of microbial cross infection that can reach the internal organs. Aloe gel is useful for emergency care by immediately reducing the pain, lowering the risk of infection and healing the wound.Burns, broken skin, insect bites: stabilized aloe gel or fresh pulp.ACNE
|
Acne is caused by deep
infections of pores obstructed with sebum. Controlling the acne
in the long term means a careful and regular skin cleansing depending on
the skin type, a mainly vegetarian healthy diet with whole food.

Aloe gel helps avoiding very efficiently stretch marks (pregnancy,
birth).
SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS
(SLE):
The story of Rita Thomson Lupus, Aloe vera and me – book
out of print
|
Rita Thompson, a 35-year-old
American living in Ohio, was suffering since 1966 with psoriasis and rheumatoid
arthritis. In 1980, her health was getting worse, the hospital diagnosis
was SLE on all of her body. The disease damages the tissues, bloats
and stretches, cause depression, oozing rashes on the skin and even the
face… Despite all the treatments and drugs she received, it only became
worse.
In the fall of 1982,
Rita reached the worst of her suffering: in 2 weeks, her body damaged with
tumours and bared flesh, was not recognizable. No
more treatment or drug were working. The blood pressure was
uncontrollable. She developed eyesight and otitis
problems on top of the SLE. Extremely weak, in full depression,
Rita was desperate and was thinking about ending her life…
Believing an article from the National
Geographic Magazine about the remarkable properties of Aloes, Rita,
although not sure, drank everyday up to 1dl of aloe
juice.

Several institutes are
now researching the range of effect of the dark bitter aloe juice, which
would help few kinds of arthritis when
taken in tiny quantities (very successful in the case of painful articulations).
|
- ASTHMA and BRONCHITIS: aloe vera inhalations, and cure ofaloe juice.
- TUBERCULOSIS: in addition to the treatment: boiled aloes leaves inhalation, and cure of fresh juice.
- STRESS, NERVOUSNESS, ANGUISH: a shot glass of pure aloe vera before each meal.
- MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
|
This disease affects
the central nervous system (brain and bone marrow). Tissues are
scarred in multiple places (tissues become stiffer and scab). Although
no complete scientific study has been made, a light
and vegetarian diet (several small meals a day in a quiet atmosphere),supplemented
with natural vitamin E, gamma-linoleic acid and strong doses of aloe ferox
slows the occurrence of the disease.

ORL
Aloe is efficient for throat affections or ear pain.
MOUTH AND GUM MUCOUS MEMBRANESIn the case of inflammation, bleeding, or fungus, aloe based massages are recommended (aloe pulp and honey mixed together, or propolis-aloe toothpaste, with an extra-soft brush). A mouthwash after dentist intervention helps. Aloe vera based lipstick may heal lip breaks.EYESTo treat various eye affections: wash the eye with fresh aloe juice diluted with spring water, or use distilled aloe drops.HAIR
- Dandruffs: daily rubs with aloe pulp, or with an aloe gel based preparation.
Dandruff shampoos sold in shops contain mercuric sulphide which could cause hair loss. Aloes helps to consider and treat internal causes:
|
|
|
|
-bacteriologic infection due to the malfunction of sebaceous glands -heavy stress or bad diet (causing this malfunction) |
-helps the sebaceous gland -strengthens the scalp muscles -stimulates hair growth |
|
-mix a tbs of honey + 2 tbs olive oil (1st cold press, virgin, etc…) or apricot pits oil. -Heat in a double boiler to obtain a smooth cream.Let it cool. - Add 3 or 4 tbs of aloe gel. -Apply this mix on the entire scalp combing small streaks of hair. -When done, cover the head with a warm towel until it has cooled down, and cover again with a 2nd warm towel. -Massage the scalp thoroughly (10 min), and wash the hair with a soft shampoo (of the best quality possible!) e.g. propolis shampoo. |

ATTENTION:
packaging is important, quality and purity of aloe can vary greatly depending
on the product, beginning with the specie, wild or large-scale farming
(Hawaii).
Large American companies sell enormous quantities of aloes in all kinds
of presentation. It is the reason for many aloes
based product to be of lower quality even when there is the 100% pure label
(superstores, drug stores…).
Therefore, aloe vera powder can actually contain up to 80% of other cheaper powders such as lactose or starch. Sometimes malto-dextrin is used, raising the polysaccharide content, which breaks the balance of the product. The efficiency of the active ingredients is therefore almost completely lost. Pharmaceutical
aloe (including the Cape, Succotrina, Curacao variety, etc…) and medical
preparations (tinctures, etc..) made from the SAP
can cause different troubles such as diarrhea, heart disorders, varix,
haemorrhoids, and are not at all for pregnant women...
Only the ones made from FRESH WHOLE LEAVES, have no adverse effects. |
