Vaginal Infections and Aloe Vera Gel
Vaginal infections are maddening: they itch, they burn and cause a discharge. Caused by a fungus called Candida albicans (also called candidiasis, genital candidiasis, or vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC)), nearly 75% of all adult women have had at least one genital yeast infection in their lifetime. Yeast infections happen when something disrupts the normal balance of fungi present in the vagina causing the yeast to grow out of control. The primary cause is overuse of antibiotics which kill not only the bad bacteria in the body but the good as well.
Yeast infection should be immediately treated as it can spread to other parts of the body including skin, mucous membranes, heart valves, esophagus, and other areas. Further, in people with weakened immune defenses -- pregnant women, those who are HIV positive, have diabetes, or are taking steroids -- it can cause life-threatening systemic infections. And, though not a sexually transmitted disease, some men will develop symptoms such as itching and penile rash following sexual contact with an infected partner.
To get quick relief, you might dash into the nearest drugstore and pick up over-the-counter (OTC) medication for which the manufacturer paid big bucks to advertise as a fast cure. Before you do, ask yourself if you want chemicals touching your private parts as all drugs contain chemicals and an OTC drug is a drug!
You can treat a vaginal infection naturally with Aloe Vera, proven to help clear up candidiasis and to prevent recurrences due to its anti-fungal properties. Moreover, Aloe Vera rarely causes an irritation. When it does, it is most likely due to additives used in some Aloe products and especially creams. Of course, additives won’t be a problem with Stockton 100% pure aloe vera gel, which is the raw gel from inside the plant where the healing properties lie.
Treat a vaginal infection by applying Aloe externally and by drinking the gel for its anti-fungal properties. Four to six ounces Aloe Vera gel daily should help manage Candida colonies in the body naturally and to help keep Candida in check. Moreover, continued use may prevent further infections from occurring.
As a preventive measure, it is especially important that you drink the Aloe Vera juice when taking antibiotics.

Barbadensis-Miller-Stocton Aloe Vera Gel
About Stockton Aloe 1Rodney M. Stockton, pioneer in the aloe industry, founder and president of Stockton Enterprises Inc., dba Aloe #1® Laboratories, passed away in July of 2009 at the age of 96. He made significant contributions in the nutrition industry by discovering the unique, healing properties of the Barbadensis-Miller-Stockton specie of Aloe Vera. Aloe and EczemaAloe Vera and Eczema
The topical inflammation may cause chronic discomfort all over the body and is prevalent on the forehead, forearms, scalp and neck. Also known as dermatitis, eczema may be triggered by stress, change in temperature or skin contact, with products like detergent, sweat, jewelry or cosmetics. It is possible to alleviate symptoms through a variety of methods. Prescription treatments and medications may vary from corticosteroid creams to ultra-violet light therapy. But some of these options carry bad side effects when used over a prolonged period of time. Many doctors agree that a good skin-care regimen, with an emphasis on moisturizing the infected areas, is the most important lifestyle change for sufferers with eczema. For a natural treatment that does not require a prescription, many patients turn to nature’s wound healing ointment—aloe vera. Believed to be an inherited condition, eczema is most common in infants, with 85% of patients under the age of five. In these cases that deal with the most delicate skin, an all-natural option like aloe vera, which is devoid of harsh chemicals, is a good alternative. There are two ways to treat eczema with aloe vera. First, drinking the juice1 of the aloe vera plant promotes health and wellness from the inside out. Aloe vera is a recognized anti-inflammatory and immune booster. In an article by author Evelyn Lim on Naturalhealthweb.com, the details of Dr. Peter Atherton’s, a leading advocate for the use and benefits of aloe vera in the United Kingdom, study on aloe vera is outlined. Dr. Atherton stated that aloe vera works in two ways—to boost the immune system and repair the epithelial tissue. The skin is the largest organ in the body, as well as makes up the largest portion of epithelial tissue. This explains why aloe vera has been proven effective to heal wounds and burns. In order to reap the full benefits of aloe vera for eczema, drink two to four ounces of the juice1 with water or fruit juice and always consult with a physician or healthcare provider. The second way to treat eczema with aloe vera is through topical application of the gel. Eczema is believed to be a defect of the skin related to an abnormality in the immune system or in the skin’s ability to act as a protective barrier. To address the latter, aloe vera may be applied directly on the dermatitis twice a day. Aloe vera hydrates the skin and helps moisturize the dry, scaly skin characteristic of eczema.

To my new Best Friends at Stockton Aloe. Thank you for your miracle. You told me what to do and it worked!! Please pass my experience on to others, so they can find resolve for their health issues. For about 7 years, I have been dealing with Heartburn/ Acid Reflux to such an extreme, that in the middle of the night, I would have to sit completely upright for hours. This is worse than you can imagine. The pain still continued, even sitting up, but not as severe as lying down. Lying down made it catastrophic. Needless to say I tried everything. I had to find relief. Nothing worked. So I suffered. Just dying to sleep, but the pain would wake me and keep me awake for hours. I tried everything. I tried internet ideas. I went to a doctor, who wanted to put me on prescription drugs. Many of which have now been recalled for causing other health problems. I am a health concious person and do not put conventional medicines in my body, as it does not solve the problem. It typically just masks it. At best it alleviates it, but only for a short time. Not to mention, it does not cure it. It just places me on a lifelong regime of drugs with their harmful side effects. I recently purchased your Aloe that is specially prepared for internal use. I was told that it would line my esophagus and stomach lining with a curing effect. I have heard it can help even cancer patients, so I gave it a try. I was amazed!! Within a night or two, I had relief. Now it's been a month. I am overjoyed!! I found it! This stuff is a miracle! No wonder it has such a good reputation. I am so thankful to the Stockton Aloe 1 folks to tell me how much to take and when. I take about 4 oz. before breakfast and 4 oz. before lunch religiously. I have not had such a good night's sleep for years. Even more so, I am amazed so few people know of this incredible cure. When you HAVE to sleep, there is nothing to describe the crying out for help your body displays. To have this behind me is the best thing to happen to me healthwise in years. I want to spread the word to others. If you have a health issue, try this. It WORKS and not only for acid reflux, I understand it handles a number of health issues. The Stockton Aloe 1 folks know their business. Thank you so much!! Keith Hartke, Reston Virginia

Eczema, a type of skin inflammation, is a common problem. It is believed to be a defect of the skin related to an abnormality in the immune system or in the skin’s ability to act as a protective barrier. The skin disease causes red, dry and itchy skin and affects all ages, races and genders. Eczema is marked by intense itching, which left untreated, may cause more serious skin lesions and blisters.
