[Diabetes-talk] Allo

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Yes, they also use aloe for sunburns. I've never heard of drinking it
especially in its pure form. I've only ever seen it used for products
that are topical, but apparently it can be used for orally for internal
purposes. I would tread carefully with this, but if a doctor recommends
it, well, it's up to an individual whether they consume it or not.

Sincerely,

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.
