Overview

Aloe vera juice has been used to treat successfully a multiplicity of human ailments for a least four thousand years. It contains over 200 ingredients, and seems to affect thousands of biomedical actions in the body. Many researchers have suggested Aloe vera is the most important treatment one could use to fight disease.

The Aloe vera plant contains at least six antiseptic agents: lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamic acid, phenol, and sulphur. All of these substances are recognized antiseptics, explaining why Aloe has the ability to eliminate many internal and external infections. Lupeol, salicylic aced and another ingredient, magnesium, are highly effective analgesics, explaining why Aloe is an effective pain killer.

Aloe vera contains at least three anti-inflammatory fatty acids (cholesterol, campesterol and B-sitosterol), explaining why Aloe is an effective treatment for burns, cuts, scrapes and abrasions, as well as for rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever and ulcers of all kinds, both internal and external. The presence of these fatty acids may explain why some experts feel Aloe is highly effective for many inflammatory conditions of the digestive system and other internal organs, including the stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, kidney and pancreas. The presence of these fatty acids, especially B-sitosterol could explain how Aloe juice is a treatment effective for allergic reactions and acid indigestion, and why it helps, in association with a low fat diet, to lower harmful cholesterol levels.

If the synergistic relationship between the elements found in the plant does not explain why Aloe works, then nothing does. It is this synergistic relationship that explains why through the ages lay persons and physicians alike have proclaimed that Aloe vera has the ability to heal, alleviate, eliminate, or even cure, a monumental list of human diseases and disorders, and therefore truly deserves the name "medicine plant."

Here are some excerpts from Dr. Ritter's books:

"Jack started his slow journey and took the capsules, morning, noon and night. To everyone's amazement, including Jack's, the very first day his breathing improved and his oxygen requirements decreased. The second day his blood sugar count was down, his insulin intake was reduced and he did not use the puffers or inhalants at all. He found he could go up to 2 hours without using his oxygen. The third day Jack didn't use any of his canned oxygen and has not had a need for it since."

"One of the blessings of working with alternative health care is meeting people that know God has not given up on them. They know God will answer their prayers and lead them down a path towards a cure. The Bible says that god supplied on this earth whatever man needed for good health and fortune. The naturalistic approach providing these herbal treatments was almost lost to modern western healers. We will share with you three remarkable case histories. All three asked God for help. All three had their prayers answered by finding Aloe vera."

"A marked improvement shown in patients taking Aloe vera who had atherosclerotic heart disease, over half of whom were also diabetics. The same study demonstrated that Aloe vera had a definite role in controlling the blood sugar level in diabetic patients and in improving the condition of heart patients."
