In Part 1, I quoted
Andreas Moritz
and Jon Barron about the amazing
healing properties of Aloe Vera.
Here are some passages from a recent
newsletter of the Grain and Salt
Society (where I buy my Celtic
Seasalt ). The column was written
by Doctor Jeri Heyman. In it, she
quotes from a book by Dr. Robert
Davis entitled, ALOE VERA: A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH.
"Fresh Aloe Vera is profoundly anti-
inflammatory. The Aloe plant contains naturally occurring plant
sterols that act similarly to synthetic steroids in blocking inflammation. Fresh Aloe's largest
polsaccharides enhance the immune
cells inflammation-control mechanisms."
"Aloe Vera is tissue-regenerating in
three different ways. The large
polysaccharides, unique to fresh, raw Aloe Vera, have been demonstrated to stimulate the release of growth factor by the immune cells, thus stimulating new
tissue production."
"A different size polysaccharide in
Aloe, directly stimulates the tissue
production cells to produce new tissue. And third, the Aloe plant
contains plant-growth-factors that
act like human growth factors to
stimulate the regeneration of tissue."
"The constituents in fresh Aloe Vera
can directly enhance the immune cell
function up to 10 times greater than
normal. This helps to clean up the
digestive and elimination systems.
The immune cells can gobble up to
10 times more unwanted yeast, fungus, and undigested food when enhanced by Aloe."
"Aloe Vera is the most penetrating
substance on Earth. It catapults itself into cells 5 times more easily than water, bringing nutrients into cells and encouraging
the outflow of toxic waste."
End of quotes. Now I'd like to tell
you how I grow my own Aloe Vera, and
how I eat it.
About ten years ago, a friend here in Florida gave me an Aloe Vera plant. I transplanted it to a larger
pot, and put it out on the screened,
back porch of my condo. It wasn't
long before little baby Aloe plants
were poking their heads up through
the soil, right beside their mother.
So I bought a big grow-box, and transpanted the Aloes into it. They
thrived! Every now and then, I would
cut a stalk and rub the soothing gel
on my face. But in those days, I
wasn't eating it.
By 2003, my single plant had reproduced itself thousands of times. I now have three large grow-boxes full of Aloe Vera on the
back porch, and two window-size boxes. And in just the last month,
I've given away five more window
boxes full of Aloe plants to friends. Some of those Aloes are
big and strong enough to fight off
muggers. I'm amazed every time I
walk out there!
About a year ago, I began eating the
gel. This was before I'd read any
of the material I just quoted to you.
My intuition told me to do it -- and
I listen to my intuition.
I cut a piece of Aloe stalk about
4" long. Then I slice it vertically,
and peel back the sides. Messy
business! Next, I put the aloe stalk
in my mouth, gel side up. and use
my top front teeth to scrape the
gel into my mouth. I swizzle it around my mouth for 30 seconds or so, and then swallow it. And, of course, before I ever cut it, I say
to the Aloe, "You are my food. May
the best of you, become the best of me." That's my Grace for all meals!
Next, I rub the mostly gel-less stalk on my skin: different parts on
different days. If you've never rubbed fresh Aloe Vera gel into your
skin, then you have a blissful experience ahead of you.
I do that every day. In the late 1990's, I wondered why I was growing
so much aloe on my porch. Now I know! Often, we prepare ourselves
for important changes, months or
years or decades before they're needed -- or at least, I do.
Yes, you can buy Aloe Vera juice
at health food stores. But it's
expensive, and may well be diluted.
I advise people to grow their own.
Aloe Vera is a VERY easy plant to
grow. It needs no TLC; just some
water when it gets dry.
You can't grow ten year's worth of
Aloe Vera overnight. I advise
you to buy a half-dozen or more
plants, and transplant them into
a large grow-box. A year from now,
you'll need two grow-boxes. They
don't need lots of sunlight. Bright
light is sufficient.
If any of this information resonated
with you, give Aloe Vera a try.
You can always use a good bottled
product until your garden takes off.
If I suffered from any of the conditions mentioned by the Doctors,
I'd be taking Aloe Vera in some form
every day.
Please give us some feedback if
you've used Aloe Vera successfully
to treat health problems of your own.
Blessings,
Owen
