Hi everyone,

> have recently found something that has cut down on my pain and

want

> to share it with as many people as possible. Its aloe vera. I

have

> several of the plants and cut off a piece about 1 inch by 1 inch,

cut

> the outer skin off and the prickly sides which leaves you with the

> gel on the inside of the plant.

> Now its not the most pleasant thing to eat however its not what I

> would call " vile " either. I have cut down on my painkillers by

half.

> I used to take 2500mg paracetamol and 180mg codiene each day, now

I

> am down to 1000mg paracetamol and 60 mg codiene. Its not a cure

but

> it sure reduces the pain!!

> Please let me know if anyone else has tried this! I have a friend

in

> the UK who was recently diagnosed with FMS and while she searches

for

> a plant she has been having aloe juice. Im not sure where she gets

it

> from but she has said this has helped her. Also my father has

recently started to take this and says it has helped with his

arthritis.
