Re: Aloe Vera and Raw Honey

Aloe vera has been shown to have many therapeutic benefits.  It has some tendancy to encourage loose bowels, particularly in the unrefined form including skins you described.

Raw, unprocessed honey consists of fructose and glucose, like sugar.  While unprocessed honey may retain anti-microbial and antioxidant qualities, this natural sweetener contains considerably more calories than sugar.  '

The hard alcohol can weaken the immune system and also has high caloric content without providing helpful nutrients.

Many cancer sufferers are wary of increasing their exposure to sugar, which has been demonstrated to support tumor growth.

So, I would suggest the Aloe is doing you no harm, perhaps aside from dehydrating you from diarrhea.  The high sugar intake from the honey and alcohol may be working against you.  I'll bet, at least, it tastes good!
