To Fordy and plm: Hi. I've used Aloe Vera in juice form on and off for many years. I wish I could remember to be more consistent with it, because I can honestly say that it is VERY healing! I'm not saying that I found it to be healing to the point that I could stop all meds, but I definitely lessened meds and also caught some problems in the beginning which would have otherwise gotten worse.

I never did find the tablets to work, though, sorry to say. However, that said, the important thing to do when using the liquid is to make sure it's 100% pure. Going into a health food store means big bucks in most instances, because their TINY bottles are about $10 and only last a week if that. BUT, stores like Walmart and KMart both carry large containers of a 100% PURE Aloe Vera Juice for about $7, and honestly I've had to throw the stuff out and start over after several months because it's lasts so long!! It soooooooothes the stomach and intestinal linings and has healing qualities. Oh, and a little goes a LONG way. You really shouldn't drink more than about 1/4 cup a day anyway, or maybe that twice depending on the condition you're treating. It can be mixed with water or juice, etc.....and for those taking anything like Metamucil, it can be mixed with the water at the same time the bulk is, and taken all at once. I have had nothing but positive experience with Aloe (and thanks for reminding me, haha).
