Aloe Vera, The anti-cancer treatment
"The beneficial healing effects of Aloe...are so miraculous as to seem more like
a myth than fact," ... John P. Heggers, Ph.D., of the University of Texas
Medical School. Aloe Vera is one of the most impressive medical herbs in nature.
There is nothing on this planet that offers the amazing variety of healing
benefits granted by aloe vera. In a single plant, aloe vera offers potent,
natural medicine.
Truly, there is nothing else that compares to the medicinal potential of aloe
vera. And yet most people only know about the topical applications of aloe vera
gel. They think it’s only good for sunburns. In reality, aloe vera is useful for
both external and internal use.Aloe Vera's internal gel matrix is comprised of
hundreds of different photochemicals that not only store water and repair
injury; they also grant notable medicinal effects to humans who consume them.
People are just now getting to know the Aloe Vera Miracle. The best way to get aloe vera gel: Grow it yourself.
people have done that for years, and you can put it in smoothies, you can cut a large aloe vera leaf out of
your yard, slice
off the thick green skin of the leaf, and drop the large gel piece into a
blender.
There are over 250 species of Aloes in the world, mostly native
to Africa. They range in size from little one inch miniatures to massive plant
colonies consisting of hundreds of 2 foot diameter plants.
Although most Aloes have some medicinal or commercial value, the most commonly
known is the Aloe barbadensis...
better known as Aloe Vera.
All Aloes are semi tropical succulent plants, and may only be grown outdoors in
areas where there is no chance of freezing
(USDA zones 10-11). However, they make excellent house plants when they are
given sufficient light.
Container grown Aloe plants benefit from spending their summer outdoors.
Older specimens may even bloom, producing a tall stock covered with bright
colored coral flowers.
The nectar from Aloe flowers is a favorite food for hummingbirds!
Because Aloe plants are very succulent and consist of 95% water,
they are
extremely frost tender. If they are grown outdoors in warm climates, they
should be planted in full sun, or light shade. The soil should be moderately
fertile, and fast draining. Established plants will survive a drought quite
well, but for the benefit of the plant, water should be provided.
Because of their popularity, Aloe vera plants are available at almost every
garden shop or nursery. Unless you live in area with a very mild climate,
it's best to leave your Aloe plant in the pot and place it near a window that
gets a lot of sun. You can move the pot outdoors during the summer months.
Aloe vera boosts immune function and destroys cancer tumors. Scientific research
shows strong immuno- modulatory and antitumor properties for aloe vera
polysaccharides. That means the gel helps boosts immune system function while
destroying cancer .
One study published in International Immunopharmacology (1995) showed that Aloe vera polysaccharides exhibited potent macrophage-activating activities including
producing increased volumes of nitric oxide (which has antitumor potential).
"Whole Leaf Aloe Vera has anti-cancer activity"
The anti-cancer activity of Aloe indicates that its action is through stimulation
of the scavenging white blood cells of the immune system. (L. Ralamboranto,
Archives of the Pasteur Institute, 1982)
The many studies carried out by Russian scientists have done more to establish a
respectable place in modern medicine for Aloe than any other group of
investigators. N.V. Gribel and V.G. Pashinskii, in Vopr Onkol., 1986, showed
that Whole Leaf Aloe juice reduced tumor mass and the frequency of metastases in
rats."
Anyone wishing to prevent or cure cancer should seriously investigate aloe vera
as part of their recipe for eliminating cancer for life. I wouldn’t rely solely
on aloe vera, especially since there are dozens of cancer cures that are now
well known in naturopathic medicine. Combining the right herbs (like cat’s
claw), superfoods (like spirulina), advanced therapies (like intravenous vitamin
C), oxygen therapy and other modalities will give you the best results when
battling any form of cancer. Work with a naturopathic physician to learn more.
Aloe Vera is especially interesting because of its effect: It makes vitamin C,
vitamin E and other antioxidants work better. The Aloe Vera makes the
antioxidants more effective and this is due to its effect on enhancing blood
quality and allowing the blood to be a better transport mode of oxygen and
nutrients to the body’s cells. In fact it is a widely held belief that Aloe Vera
makes everything nutritious work better due to its blood-enhancing effects . If
I’m right about that, it means aloe can influence anti-cancer herbs, too,
helping them more effectively target tumours.
Aloe Vera actually contains advanced biochemical technology that the drug
companies can only hope to understand someday. This technology was built by
nature, and it’s 100% compatible with the human body. All you have to do to
experience this technology for yourself is drink Aloe Vera in gel form!
Aloe vera halts inflammation. Using aloe topically is well known to ease
inflammation of joints, reducing arthritis pain. But aloe can also be used
internally, reducing inflammation throughout the body from the inside out.
People who drink aloe vera for two weeks typically begin to experience a
significant reduction of inflammation symptoms.
Aloe vera lowers cholesterol and triglycerides When used internally, aloe vera
gel improves the quality of the blood and helps rebalance the blood chemistry in
a way that lowers cholesterol and total triglycerides (in people with elevated
levels).
"Over 200 worldwide scientific research papers have been published on the
effects of Aloe vera. The three main categories of research include
anti-inflammatory, anti- bacterial, and anti-viral actions of aloe vera. The
juice is said to soothe digestive tract irritations such as colitis, ulcers and
irritable bowel syndrome. Aloe's ability to encourage the release of pepsin (a
gastric juice enzyme necessary for digestion) when the stomach is full is a
possible reason for its ulcer-healing effects (Journal of the American
Osteopathic Society, 1963, vol.62) In one study, oral use of aloe for six months
helped mitigate asthma symptoms in almost half of the participants. Eleven of
twenty-seven patients studied who drank aloe reported feeling better at the end
of the study. Researchers think that results might be due to stimulation of the
immune system, as well as naturally occurring anti-inflammatory agents in aloe
vera.
In 1997, University of San Antonio researcher Jeremiah Herlihy, Ph.D., conducted
a study to observe any negative effects of drinking aloe daily. Rather than
exhibiting negative effects, however, test animals receiving daily aloe showed a
remarkable reduction in leukaemia, heart disease, and kidney disease. Dr.
Herlihy concluded, "We found no indication of harm done to the rats even at high
levels." In fact, the aloe-drinking animals actually lived 25 percent longer
than those in the control group (IASC Conference, Texas, 1997)."
Grow your own Aloe Vera. The commercial Aloe Vera products are second rate and
comparable to "fresh orange juice vs bottled juice.. " Fresh always wins: Aloe
will retain its medicinal integrity when picked and used immediately!
Most Plant nurseries stock Aloe Vera which can easily be grown at home. It does
very well in pots and on window ledges
