Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Has anyone tried drinking Aloe Vera juice to help with their Reactive Arthritis? I just bought a gallon from Costco yesterday and am going to try drinking it everyday. That along with 4 glasses of Green Tea. On the news last night here in Chicago they mentioned the proven health benefits of Green Tea for cancer, lethargy, cleansing, and overall better well-being. I figured it's worth a try as both are cheap enough. Much cheaper than my Humira or Naproxen. Here is an article I've found talking about the benefits of Aloe Vera juice for inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis: http://www.positivehealth.com/permit/Articles/Aloe%20Vera/aloinf20.htm " Aloe Vera is a stimulant to the immune system, a powerful anti- inflammatory, an analgesic and is able to speed up cell growth. Aloe Vera contains a large number of mucopolysaccharides (basic sugars) which are found in every cell in the body. Aloe also contains large numbers of nutrients including vitamins E, C, B1, 2, 3, and 6 as well as iron, manganese, calcium and zinc. Seven essential amino acids and fatty acids are also found in Aloe Vera. Repairing damaged tissue by regenerating cells is a function at which Aloe Vera has been shown to be most successful. It not only relieves the painful symptoms but also helps to disperse damaged tissue – a type of detoxification process. Aloe Vera may be taken both internally as a juice or as a gel applied to the painful joint. Here Aloe Vera's deep penetration may show benefit. In any event, an important fact must be remembered: Aloe Vera has no known adverse side effects. It is an extract from the leaf of the Aloe Vera plant, known throughout the world where it grows naturally as the `First Aid Plant', the `Burn Plant', the `Miracle Plant' and the `Medicine Plant'.

Guest Trionixy Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Interesting information, I've also heard that aloe vera can help for rheumatoid arthritis but i thought its supposed to be used externally in the form of gel. Though there is still no scientific evidence that would prove its effectiveness.. Maybe I will try it cause anyway it also has many other benefits.
