Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I believe I remember reading that the outer skin of the leaf has toxic ingredients. Those pushing Aloe usually speak about the gel. No expert here but I would look into it before using the whole leaf. Joe C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I still have reservations about using the entire leaf, skin and all. Do I have proof that it is bad? No! Have I read that it is? Yes. I have also read that there is a lot of deterioration of the beneficial parts of aloe after cutting so I wonder if using a bit every day of a mashed up mess of Aloe Gel would be useful? Perhaps the essential parts of aloe do not deteriorate after cutting, however, oxidation is involved and don't we worry about other things exposed to air? Perhaps some 'expert' on aloe will clear this up for us un-informed. How we will know if it is an expert? That is another issue. Maybe someone with experience using aloe can do the job. Joe C.
