diabetics and blenders

September 10, 2011

there is no doubt that changing your eating habits will improve your health --

and perhaps lower your need for insulin -- another interesting piece of

information is that Aloe Vera has been found to REVERSE Type II diabetes in many

cases - there are so many variables involved, like folks say, there's really no

100% -- but it works well enough that the phase 1 trials of seeing IF something

in Aloe Veara works is over because yes, something in Aloe Vera does work -- the

studies are now concentrated on finding out what the component(s) are.

Just go to PubMed (google it and it will be in the NLM - National Library of

Medicine " then search for 'Aloe vera' AND 'diabetes' -- and just skim the very

last few lines - that's where they tell you what the outcome is. At worst it

will do nothing, at best, combined with a bit of exercise and a better diet, you

can at worst lower you insulin intake and at best stop all together -- but it

takes months, not days.

Most of what you read will be people looking for the reason it works, read

farther back when they were doing the initial studies, and you'll see that many

point to a reversal or partial reversal of diabetes (type II).

Brand " Lilly of The Valley " - whole leaf juice - start at once ounce AM/PM and

increase at about two week intervals - you'll want either their brown glass

bottles - light and oxygen break the photopolysacarides that are thought to

carry the active parts apart and render it useless - LIlly of the Valley (with

whom I have no relationship other than consumer) has white plastic bottles made

from multiple layers of may different laminated 'plastics' (used in a

generalized concept) and a few of them are DESIGNED to keep oxygen from

migrating in and out of the bottle though the 'plastic' -- though I would

imagine you can use any brown glass bottle.

It is dose dependent - meaning that the more you do the better it gets (within

reason). The side effect is that you can get lose stools if you up your intake

too fast -- not diarrhea, just soft stools - so go slow. I generally do a

couple of ounce swig in the AM before my coffee, a short swig at noon, and

another good couple of ounce swig at night.

It boosts your immune system, will slow initial healing but makes up for the

first slow hearing at the back end by moving faster through wound healing

stages, helps prevent scaring, boosts an amazing number of the parts of your

immune system, and is also a very good anti-inflammatory. -- among other things

-- it also helps repair damage to the liver and perhaps kidneys, though ONE

study shows that too much (measure by mg/kg body weigh which I don't recall) MAY

shrink the size of your kidneys, though only one study, about five years old

now, showed that, I have not seen it replicated.

Just start out slow -- a lot of people find the taste very odd, and detest the

'gel' form - so now I just recommend the whole leaf juice -- price is generally

between $5-$8 per quart. -- and when I called them they knew as much about the

current research as I did, and I've been following it for about 25+ years or do.

And they were VERY friendly when I called a few times with questions-- SO - feel

free to call them if you have questions -- they are not hippie slouches! -- I

was amazed that the person I spoke to knew the most current AND nearly all the

older studies -- good folk. but you do have to keep it from sunlight, heat, and

oxygen -- it sounds exactly like it should be kept in a refer with the cap on

tight!

Just an input on an off-but-related-topic. I once heard that the unheralded and

much studied drugs of the 20th century are the manufacture of Aspirin (ASA),

Green Tea (better for you hot than cold), and Aloe Vera if you get it in brown

glass bottles or special laminated 'plastics'. - pg --

Thanks for the info . I'll make good use of it.
