These toxins come from pesticides, food additives, heavy metals in the water, industrial chemicals, pharmaceutical drug residue, and many other substances . Toxins are also produced naturally by the body and are therefore absolutely impossible to avoid. The incidence of many toxicity diseases has increased as well. Research has revealed that toxicity is responsible for rapid aging, promoting degenerative diseases and breaking down the immune system.  Detoxification is the term used to describe the process your body goes through to get rid of toxins.

Home Grown Versus Organically cultivated Aloe

It’s very common to see Aloe Vera plants potted on window sills or if you have the luxury, in your backyard. Aloe Vera is a great plant to have in your home as it’s one of the few plants that releases oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide in the dark, making it very suitable for growing in bedrooms (Usually plants give off carbon dioxide at night). The Aloe Vera plant also has the fantastic ability to absorb toxins from the atmosphere, cleaning the air that comes into your home from poisonous toxins such as Carbon Monoxide, nitrous gases, pollutants in the atmosphere. While it does all that, where do you think this poisonous substance that is absorbed from the atmosphere is stored?  Many people boast of the fact that they grow their own Aloe plants and cut it fresh every morning for their intake. This is a common myth that the plants grown in your backyard or on your window sill are even ingestible . What they might be potentially doing is directly eating the poisons from the...

Ensuring you drink true Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera has a mildly bitter taste which may be unpleasant in the raw state. It is possible to get used to the taste of plain Aloe Vera gel, but if you can’t, the addition of some fruit juice helps to make it more palatable. Many preparations are available that claim to provide Aloe Vera in tablet or capsule form. It is unlikely that many of the delicatebeneficial components will survive the manufacturing process, and these products often contain so little Aloe Vera anyway. The market for Aloe Vera products is so clouded with conflicting claims with manufacturers in for a quick buck, and unscrupulous players, that it is no wonder that many health professionals remain skeptical of the benefits of Aloe Vera. https://www.facebook.com/healthconsciousness/ http://foreverliving.com/action=display&store=IND&distribID=910005213968&langID=en&joinNowPopup

Whole Leaf Versus Stabilized Inner Gel

W hole leaf Aloe Vera supplements have been available in the market for a long time, but many of the common Aloe Vera supplements are a bit misleading . “ Whole leaf ” means they grabbed the entire Aloe Vera plant, blended up the whole thing (gel, sap and leaf skin), and then they filter out all the harmful components, which also removes a lot of the goodness. At first, it sounds great until you realize that the sap and outer skin of Aloe Vera causes diarrhea . The primary healing part of Aloe Vera is the gel , and “ only the gel ”. A quality product needs to separate the gel from the rest of the leaf , and then prepare the gel into a supplement or liquid. This process is obviously more labor intensive. Unlike the gel, the skin and sap of the Aloe Vera leaf are not food. In fact, they’re extremely bitter precisely for the reason of discouraging desert animals from eating the plants. If you slice open an Aloe Vera leaf, and place that on the ground, the desert animals will on...
