I've got a huge bottle of aloe vera gel which boasts a number of ways in which it can be utilised (moisturiser, hair gel, shaving gel, insect bite relief etc.) but I only use it to cool my skin on hot days/nights. I just rub it all over; it's very soothing to hot or sunburnt skin and it soaks in very easily.

It's marvellous stuff. Drinking it helps with bowel and digestive function, immune function, fabulous effect on the skin, and helps soothe muscles and maintain mobility and flexibility in joints. And if you dislike the taste, you can mix it with fruit juice!

I find that Forever Living aloe vera products have really helped me with my various aches and pains (discounts for SFers ... just ask me!)

Sounds really interesting, is it expensive?

It can be Moon, if you have the top quality stuff like Forever Living. The one I get is specially formulated for aches and pains, the rest is just side-benefits, and it costs about £30 for a few weeks supply. I've got a friend who's a distributor for it, if you want a catalogue I can get one and send it to you. They even do make-up!

But you can get common or garden aloe vera juice from Wicker Herbalists I think and it's a bit cheaper.

As you know I'm all into natural remedies, e.g. echinacea, and I think aloe vera is right up there with them

Hi,
We have an Aloe vera plant in our front room, it has lived happily for about 6 years now! It doesnt require extreme attention (of course tlc but not every 5 minutes!)
It is amazing and I safely reccomend it.I have never tried eating/drinking it however any cuts/bruises/itching/bites/graces/sting bites or nettles it is instant relief. And some products that contain it are ever so soft on the skin, my skin is veryvery sensitive and it soothes it without drying it out or causing further discomfort.

I am very happy with it, all my family have a plant in their house. All you need to do is squeeze some out of the branch and the jellie-like substance will come out and sooth instantly.

you do have to be a bit careful about which products you use as they are not all the same. Forever Living aloe Vera is highly concentrated and their gel drink is the first to be used in a double blind placebo controlled trial for IBS. Trust the best- it is 'arguably the best aloe Vera product in the world, a position built up over 24 years'

From Wikipedia:

There is, however, little scientific evidence of the effectiveness or safety of A. vera extracts for either cosmetic or medicinal purposes, and what positive evidence is available is frequently contradicted by other studies.

I realise that alternative therapies and supplements can make some people feel uncomfortable and I respect your view. I suppose the proof is in the use of such things and all consumables (alternative or clinically trialled) have some potential side effects. You only have to read a 'side efects' leaflet in your average medicine pack from the local pharmacy to understand this. I have personal experience of aloe Vera products which traditional treatments have failed to cure so I am well and truely convinced. My feeling is that if you have a debilitating condition that has an impact on your quality of life then you may as well give it a try and see if it makes a difference. What have you got to loose? With Forever Living they have so much confidence in the products you have a complete (no questions asked) money back guarentee for 60 days after purchase. If anyone thinks the products may be helpful or wan to know more about the business opportunity please contact me

Good Advert

You may "suppose the proof is in the use of such things" but I disgree. If you feel unwell, take a remedy (whether 'alternative' or otherwise) and some time later, you feel better, what you have there is not 'proof' but an anecdote. You cannot possibly know in such circumstances whether the remedy you took was actually effective, or whether you feel better due to the placebo effect, or whether you would have felt better anyway. To obtain proof, you need to test the remedy on a statistically valid number of people with controls in place to exclude the effects I've mentioned and various other kinds of bias.

It is true that may remedies can cause side effects. However, you need to bear in mind that manufacturers of pharmacologival drugs have to list side effects on their drugs, I believe, even if that side effect has only ever been reported once and has not been proven to have been caused by the drug. I get suspicious when a remedy is advertised as having no side potential side effects - I suspect that a rememdy which can produce no side effects at all is probably not doing anything else, either.

"My feeling is that if you have a debilitating condition that has an impact on your quality of life then you may as well give it a try and see if it makes a difference. What have you got to loose?" Well you have to lose the money you spent on a possibly useless product. I really don't beleive that many people who get no benefit from a remedy will take it back and ask for their money back. But in a general sense I think society has a lot to lose from a retreat from rationality.

And irresepctive of the efficacy of the products - if you wish to advertise your business opportunity on the Forum, aren't you supposed to pay for an advert?
