[YEA]  10/03/2006: Darryl from Atlanta, GA: "I drink Aloe Vera juice for BACK PAIN, ENERGY, REGULARITY, CLEANSING ALL AROUND HEALING. I have been drinking Aloe Vera Juice for the last 13-14 years. 21 OUNCES every morning before I get in the shower and I feel like I should put an S on my chest and fly out the window. If you want just a good feeling overall. This is the best way to start the day. Remember Aloe Vera is a healer. So I suspect my internal organs in my body should be in very good shape!"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  04/28/2008: Susan from Sulphur, LA: "April 24th, 2008 I came down with shingles again. This is something I have dealt with for the last 13 years. In the past I have tried antibiotics, cortisone, etc. anything that I thought would bring relief. I was at my mothers and she told me to try the gel from an aloe leaf. To my surprise it brought great relief. I have done this 2 or 3 times a day. She also told me that once the blisters burst to apply honey to complete the healing process. I fully intend to try this at that time. It has been wonderful to have relief from this awful disease."

[YEA]  06/10/2011: Cocoandrico from Kingston, Ny, Usa: "Hi there, just wanted to share some sore throat remedy recipes I found using Aloe Vera. Aloe has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it a great home remedy for skin ailments like burns, so it makes sense that gargling with the juice would ease throat irritation. Aloe juice seems to be available all over the place all of a sudden, so these would be easy to make. Happy gargling!

[YEA]  09/12/2011: Cocoandrico from Kingston, Ny, Usa: "Tattooed skin can become scarred due to poor tattooing techniques or complications during the healing process. Using Aloe can reduce the severity of scars as well as the likelihood of infection and further skin damage. With regular use, the surface of the skin will become more even and better prepared for any touch-up work necessary."

[YEA]  02/22/2007: Anna from Chula Vista, CA: "If you are trying to wean your child, I have the perfect remedy, this works great, my 1 1/2 year old son was very hard to wean and I put Aloe Vera and it worked out great, and he didn't make a big fuss though. Try this. It works great!"

11/22/2009: Amanda from Cape Town, South Africa: "Hi,
I am in South Africa and Aloe Ferox is everyplace. I had always used Aloe Vera in the US, but now it is hard to find (imported) and very $$$!

The healing qualities of Aloe Vera seem to have been extrapolated to Aloe Ferox...even in the health stores, they give the advice to use it.

So, does anyone know if Aloe Ferox can be substituted for Aloe Vera? Is is good for the same things for maybe for something else?

I can get an Aloe Ferox plant and keep on my balcony if it is any good! Also, there are a lot of other "Aloes" here...anyone know if any of them are worthwhile?

Thank you for any help. I used Aloe Vera for all my external healing, and also drank it. I miss it!!"

[QUESTION]  08/30/2009: Noelle from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Usa: "Does anyone know where I can get fresh Aloe Vera Leaf in the Minneapolis-St Paul area? I used to purchase it by the pound at Rainbow Foods on 26th Ave, but they no longer get it in. We have a fair sized Latino community; I've tried several of the Hispanic groceries along Lake Street, but they don't seem to have it either. I want to get the 14" size Aloe Leaf that cured Diane from Tampa son's allergies and leaky gut. Any suggestions?"

[YEA]  02/20/2010: Rosie from La, Ca: "A quick cure for yeast infections is to cut off a piece of aloe vera, remove the skin and insert it like a tampon. It burns, so it is difficult to keep there. Just putting some of the aloe vera gel on, also helps. You will have immediate relief, but keep doing it for atleast 3 days to prevent recurrence."
