What makes Aloe Vera So Effective for Health?
Aloe Vera, the Miracle Plant …Aloe Vera is one of the most versatile plants in the world …even with all the notable factors of other healing plants. The Aloe Vera plant is not exclusive in it’s nature for healing powers …there are many other plants that are used for healing purposes, as well, like: Noni, Eucalyptus, Yucca, Evening primrose, Madagascar periwinkle, Grape seed, Grape skin and many others.
Aloe Vera rises to the top of the list when it comes to a very complete chemistry composition. Aloe Vera contains 21 key vitamins and minerals and it also possesses all 22 amino acids plus ligin, saponins, a long list of anthraguinones and an effective amount of complex enzymes.
This unique composition of nutrients enjoys the presence of its active component… called polysaccharides, which trigger Aloe’s extensive enzymatic activity. Polysaccharides are plant sugars that play an important part of it’s complex activity.
One of the most important health factors is that Aloe Vera has no toxicology levels. When given to animals in large doses, there have been absolutely no amounts of toxicity …leaving no animal either harmed, ill, or dying.
Aloe Vera finds where it is needed and goes to work building your body’s own immune system. This process is notable when working with the malfunction of various body systems …which happens when the immune system malfunctions. Aloe Vera helps the communication of the systems to get back in balance …the process of phagocytosis.
Simply said …history has proven that Aloe Vera has a synergy factor second to none. And with all of the… on going science …Aloe Vera still remains a mystery. That’s why we call it the “Miracle Plant.” Now, isn’t Aloe Vera something worth adding to your diet?
Just by adding two to four ounces of Organic Aloe Vera Juice to you’re diet everyday…it will benefit the immune system and synergize the healing process.

There are over 240 species of Aloe Vera, growing mainly in the dry regions of Africa, Asia, Europe and America. Although Aloe Vera is a member of the Lily family, it is very cactus-like in appearance.
Of the 240 species, four are recognized as having nutritional value, with barbadensis miller leading the group. Barbadensis is the type of Aloe Vera used in most commercial products available today.
The gel contains over 75 nutrients and 200 active compounds, including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids and 12 vitamins. A high quality product, which uses only the nutritious inner gel …not the outer rind …the rind of the leaf, is one of the most nutritious drinks and best skincare products, available.
Aloe Vera is proven to increase new cell growth three fold and promotes rapid wound healing after skin resurfacing treatments using chemical and mechanical procedures.
Aloe Vera is effective in treating a variety of dermatological conditions and diseases of the skin. Aloe Vera penetrates deeply without the aid of “heat.”
Aloe Vera relieves pain, swelling and tightness associated with strains, sprains and burses while reducing inflammation in muscles, tendons (tendonitis) and joints (bursitis).
Aloe Vera relieves itching and skin irritations resulting from many causes. It also promotes healing of chemical burns, minor sunburns, razor burns, floor burns and mat burns.

Aging Skin – Get Rid of the Toxins!
Are you using these toxic substances on your skin?
Most skin care products are loaded with toxic ingredients that can cause everything from mild irritation to cancer! Here are the eight most common ones you could accidentally be slathering on your skin:
Mineral oil – A petroleum derivative. Because it causes toxins to build up in the skin, it can accelerate the aging process.
Petrolatum (petroleum jelly) — The most familiar petroleum derivative. Prevents skin from being able to breath, traps toxins inside the skin’s layers.
Sodium laurel (or lauryl or laureth) sulfate — An industrial detergent that strips skin of its moisture barrier and has been linked to eye damage — among many other harmful things.
Propylene glycol — The main active ingredient in anti-freeze and brake fluid. It breaks down cell structure and has been linked to kidney damage as well as liver and brain problems.
Parabens — Highly toxic preservatives used to extend product shelf life.
Talc (talcum powder) — Shown to cause cancer in lab animals. It creates acute respiratory distress if inhaled and has been linked to ovarian cancer.
Fragrance — Can contain thousands of potentially toxic ingredients! It is the most common cause of allergies and reactions to skin care products.
FD&C Colors — Usually made from coal tar. They are often used in skin care products, and some are considered carcinogenic (cancer-causing).

Journey through Alzheimers – My Mom
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about Mom and her journey with Alzheimers. If I had known then what I know now, I believe that journey could have been so much easier. Of course, hindsight is always 20/20.
Mom’s greatest fear throughout life was that she would get Alzheimers like her Mom. I remember when grandma and grandpa lived with us for a while; one day grandma was so confused that she took off out of the house running down the street calling for grandpa. We all had to chase her and bring her back home. Finally, Mom realized that she couldn’t take care of her mom and dad; so grandma was put in a nursing home and grandpa went to live in a large house with other elderly folks.
Dad was struggling so much, trying to accept that Mom had Alzheimers. But it was near impossible for him to understand. She started repeating herself constantly and he would get so mad at her. She would start crying and he couldn’t ever get her to stop so I always went over then to rock her and calm her down.
I finally began looking for a senior type place that had enough security to keep her safe and also give her some things to do. She began going to a Total Longterm Care facility that provided the security and recreation for her several days a week. That really helped to give her a break from Dad and likewise, for him too.
I have a lot of pictures of her from that facility showing her at many different activities…gardening, making flour tortillas, making tissue flowers and other things. But she was always trying to escape from the place…it was difficult for the staff to keep her interested in things.
Her eating habits changed a lot and it was difficult to get food down her. I remember sitting at her kitchen table urging her to eat some snacks with me. I would take a bite and then have her take a bite. We kind of made it a game and it worked out sometimes. Mom was a tiny woman, less than a 100 lbs and under 5′. She started losing weight.
Interestingly, before Alzheimers, Mom was not a particularly “loving” person outwardly. She was a little harsh and opinionated; didn’t give hugs and was pretty fussy. She and Daddy were very involved in their church and did so much for others in that way. Mom taught a women’s Sunday School class, played piano and visited immobile church friends to help them out. Daddy was a music/choir director in many churches around the US, and overseas in Germany. Neither he nor Mom were particularly nurturing. BUT, amazingly, as Mom’s Alzheimers progressed, she became more and more loving, nurturing, laughing, giggling and I treasure those times with her. We became so much closer and had a very loving and caring relationship in her last years…..I am so grateful!
Be VERY CAREFUL in choosing a place for your loved ones to spend their last years if they need extra care. I will tell you more about that in my next MOM post. If I had known what I know now, I would have quit my job and brought my mom home to live with us. We had the worst experience at Julia Temple in Englewood, CO and I would never recommend that place for anyone. They, essentially, ended my mother’s life in 2 days. Be VERY, VERY CAREFUL!
Get your elder loved ones on the best health products possible because those last years can be so very difficult. This is the best health product, by far, that I have ever found to help everyone feel their absolute best and help to prevent disease/illness. I wish I had know of this supplement when I was caring for my Mom. Visit http://www.connieclark.max4u.com to learn more about it.
Blessings for Abundance and Health!
