Health Pick: Cancer Cure?



Image found at Tootoo.com

I read about a man with Liver Cancer (Stage 4) and I wanted to share his story with all people who are: living with, know someone, or trying to prevent Cancer themselves. This man was told by his doctor that he had 3 months to live. He started drinking pure fresh Aloe Vera gel strait from the plant. He took 1 Tablespoon a day and kept his Faith, then 6 months later his Cancer was gone.

Aloe Vera has three major functions in our body. First it cleanses because of its saponins (natural cleanser) and it has enzymes and lignins that help the absorption in the skin. Second it has 200 components including: Nutrients, Minerals, Amino acids and Polysaccharides. Third it heals because of the Anthraquinones properties that helps with: Allergy, Anti Viral, Anti-Fungal and Anti Inflammatory.

Aloe Vera also helps with cell regeneration because of a hormone it has that increases new cell growth and eliminates the old one. Aloe Vera helps us from the inside out. Aloe Vera is great at detoxifying. It has been found in research to have anti cancer properties in study after study. Aloe Vera is inexpensive and has few, if any side effects.

Make sure that you get 100% Aloe Vera Juice. The FDA approved that companies can put 1 Tablespoon of Aloe Vera to one gallon of water and still call it pure. To really get pure Aloe Vera it should say on the side of the container no water added or any other additives. Another deceiving thing that companies are doing with Aloe Vera is labeling it as cold pressed (Not Heated). Companies are being allowed to still call it this when they have used HTST (High Temperature Short Time) which causes the Aloe Vera to lose some of its healing properties. Many people are just buying the Aloe Vera Barbadensis miller plant and blending it up themselves to make sure they are getting 100% Aloe Vera.

Other conditions that had personal testimonies using Aloe Vera:

Bladder Infections
IBS ( Irritable Bowl Syndrome)
Used for Bee Stings
Acid Reflux
Chronic Fatigue (Increases Energy)
Good for a Cough and coats the throat
Helps with losing weight
Improves Eyesight (prescription Reduced)
Eliminates Colon Polyps
Ulcerative Colitis

I am so mad at myself for not drinking Aloe Vera Juice sooner. I have had a huge bottle in the refrigerator that I could have been drinking this whole time. I will drink Aloe Vera juice from now on. The reason why I didn't want to drink it because it has a little bitter taste, nothing that being mixed in some fruit juice won't take away. It doesn't matter how bitter it is, I will get past it to live.

Beauty Pick: Aloe Vera for Beauty


Image found at Buzzle.com

I've decided to write on Aloe Vera because someone close to me told me they were allergic to Vitamin E (last weeks health pick).  This person shared that they used Aloe Vera for healing of a scar and this is what got me more interested. Testimonies I have gotten from people, Vitamin E works better on healing without leaving a scar than Aloe Vera does; but it is a great alternative. For this week I found Aloe Vera has so many awesome ways to heal. I had to do a Aloe Vera post for Beauty and for Health.

Aloe Vera originated in Africa and in the West Indies. It has benefited man for over 4,000 years. It is known for its natural healing and regenerative properties. In the United States it is grown commercially in California, Florida, Texas and certain green houses in Oklahoma. Aloe Vera has had different names over the years: Greek Scientist called it “ The Universal Panacea.” Egyptians called it “ The Plant of Immortality.” The American Indians called it “ The Wand of Heaven.” Now it is also called “ The Sun Plant ” or “ Lily of the Desert” or “The Medicine Plant.”

Aloe Vera is a good as a toe nail fungus remedy. The regular use of Aloe Vera helps grow healthy shiny nails. Soaking or rubbing the feet with Aloe Vera can help reduce growth of fungi. In a few months time it will help your over all immune system.

For the skin Aloe Vera speeds up the healing process. Aloe Vera is good for scrapes, burns, sun burns and bruised skin as well. It also works well as a long lasting sun screen.

Aloe Vera is good for moisturizing the face. It helps pimples disappear overnight. It also helps with rashes and/or skin with discoloration.

For a hygiene issue that everyone has at some point or another is bad breath. Some have used the actual Aloe gel fresh from the plant. It is rubbed on the gums and the teeth. It also helps with canker sores and boils in the mouth. Another pesky problem for many is dandruff. Some have applied the gel directly to their scalp and over time they have seen the dandruff disappear completely.

If your hair is thinning or missing Aloe Vera will bring it back. It takes about up to a month to see results. It has been reported that the new hair growth will be black in color.

Extra Picky Tip ~ *Aloe Vera should be the Barbadensis Miller Species for maximum benefit *
