[Diabetes-talk] Allo

[Sandi Ryan]

There is a trend to drink aloe juice, I know.  It is liquid from the aloe 
vera plant, which has traditionally been used topically for healing burns 
and skin lesions.  My husband, for instance, was a baker and badly burned 
his hand at the doughnut fryer one day.  He had it treated and covered by a 
doctor, but it was very painful.  We went and bought an aloe vera plant, 
broke off one of its leaves and split it, and rubbed the liquid inside over 
the wound.  Within hours, he had no more pain.  Within two or three days, 
the wound had healed.

I read about drinking aloe juice about three or four years ago, but at that 
time there was some thought that it might cause cancer and other problems. 
The guidance then (from people who sold "natural" supplements, not the 
medical community) was that you shouldn't drink much.  I've not seen medical 
research on this.  I know from experience that it works topically.  I 
wouldn't use it in any form other than topically without discussing it with 
your doctor.  Especially as a treatment for diabetes.
