Q: I heard about you on Paul Nison's Raw Life Health show. I am dealing with leaky gut. Do you have any experience with aloe vera gel contributing to the healing of leaky gut? Please let me know your thoughts about this.
A: We have tremendous experience with customers that consumed raw aloe vera gel for help with the full gamut of stomach and intestinal disorders; from indigestion to cancer. If someone in my family wasn't drinking aloe and had leaky gut, aloe vera gel (inner leaf only) would be the first food that I would add to the diet. Of course I would eliminate some things too... starting with gluten - which you have probably already done.

When people order the large buckets of aloe, we recommend they pour them out into 9 smaller containers upon receiving them; 1 goes in the fridge and 8 back in the freezer for re-freezing. The one in the fridge should be consumed within 2 to 3 weeks. The others are of course thawed as needed.
Because of the 3 day shipping requirement and problems with liquids clearing customs, we do not ship to other countries. The postage expense it too high and we would too often end up eating the cost to replace and re-ship because of the product being spoiled when held up in customs.
i have stage 4 liver cancer and am anxious to do what t takes to follow the treatment. Thanks for your help.
I am the webmaster of aloe-vera-studies.org
My site gets about 2,000 visitors per day. Recently I found out that many aloe vera juice vendors were adding dangerous chemicals in their products and warned my readers about it.
Today one of my readers recommended you, you can see it here (Todd Whiting's comment):
www.aloe-vera-studies.org/.../
I would like to test your products and maybe recommend you to my subscribers (I have several thousands of subscribers to my mailing list).
Thank you
Hakim Ferradj
We are honored by our customer's recommendation and certain that you too would feel the same as Todd does.
Blessings.

Aloe#1 Aloe Vera Gel ...? Can I add and how much cranberry juce?
I know a young teenage girl that drinks a tablespoon with each meal. Some people drink a glass of aloe per day. Some drink 3 glasses per day.
The thing to be careful about is the kind of aloe you are drinking. If you are drinking "whole leaf" aloe vera juice, you better limit your intake in accordance with the instructions on the bottle. Whole leaf aloe juice contains aloin; that is, the chemical from the outer leaf that can cause severe cramping and diarrhea.
But filleted leaf inner gel only will not contain much aloin. It is safe to drink much larger quantities of inner leaf aloe vera gel.
Regarding dosing, remember, aloe is not a drug, but merely food. Yet many do acknowledge relief of acid reflux symptoms with it's consumption. So as with any food, you might try some with a meal and see how you feel. If you are drinking aloe gel daily and not noticing a difference, you might increase your serving size and see how you feel. If you are getting relief, you might decrease your serving size and gradually learn how much it takes to make you feel good.
danger for HYPOTHYROIDISM?
What I can tell you about aloe is that it is a food. In fact, many consider it a "Super Food". That is, some foods have exceptional phytonutrient qualities and may have health benefits as a result and are classified as "Super Foods". Many use aloe vera gel in their diet for the purpose of attaining such excellent nutrition for improving health. But I don't know of anyone ever specifically consuming it to target a condition like hypothyroidism.
But the greater concern is whether or not you are referring to the whole leaf or just the inner gel. Remember that too much whole leaf aloe vera can cause cramping from the aloin content. We only recommend using inner gel products.
I have been buying fresh aloe vera leaves locally and consuming the gel from 1 leaf daily.
Sometimes I see that red spots start to form within the gel in multiple locations (especially if i cut a leaf in half and leave it for 24 hours in the fridge)......
Is the entire leaf gone bad? Or is it still okay for me to eat the clear gel that has not turned red yet? I'm usually scared to eat it and just throw it all away (waste of money on my part).
I keep reading the red spots mean bad bacteria and to throw it away!
All vegetation will come with some bacteria in it... including the cleanest salads that you eat. Most is naturally occurring and harmless. The red may or may not be from harmful bacteria. It may just be oxidation similar to a sliced apple turning brown. This can be prevented with a little lemon juice.
But aloe may have other reasons for turning reddish or pink. We have seen it also turn from reddish-pink back to clear. Some of our customers prefer to drink the aloe when it is pink.
It would probably be fine to cut a layer off and use the remainder of the leaf assuming it is not that old. But like a salad, there comes a point in time that you just throw it away - or recycle it as compost.
Regarding dosing, aloe vera gel is a food and should be consumed as a food. We have customers that drink one ounce with meals and we have customers that drink 3 glasses per day. As with any nutritious food, the nutrients in aloe can benefit your immune system and more. However, how many of those nutrients you consume is up to you.
Some medical doctors treat their patients by prescribing certain diets. Such a physician would be better qualified to answer your question.
I don't know if the aloe will help lower blood pressure by other means, such as making arteries cleaner and more elastic, which is probably what you were asking about.
If you find any research regarding aloe vera gel and blood pressure, I would love to know about it.

Before I discovered your website, I had already ordered natures way whole leaf Aloe vera juice. It says that there is no aloin in it and it is 99.7% pure. Should I consume it acc to dosage on the bottle and finish that?
Also, I am planning to take Aloe vera juice to improve my skin n hair and no other issues. But I am also hoping it would help in fertility and general reproductive health as per the Ayurveda research. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance,
After a couple days of severe cramping she came back and asked me: "could the aloe run right through you?". I replied: "no.... I have never heard of our aloe doing that". I went on to say: "If you were drinking whole leaf aloe from the store then yes, but ours is inner gel only, no outer leaf". She sunk and said: "oh.... my husband had another brand and I thought I would use that one first and then switch to yours.
I would never recommend someone drink whole leaf aloe by the glass. However, we have customers that purchase our raw inner gel only by the bucket and drink 3 glasses a day. If it was whole leaf aloe vera juice, believe me, they would not be able to leave the bathroom because of the aloin content.
But a couple tablespoons of the whole leaf shouldn't have enough aloin to keep you in the bathroom all day. Just don't drink serving sizes like ours when you are using other aloe products. Of course, you won't be getting nearly as much of the aloe nutrients at the much smaller serving sizes, though.
So, I am certain that using it according to their recommended serving size is fine.
Regarding reproductive health, I am unaware of the research. I use it daily for overall health, however, as part of a health diet.
Thanks
Blessings.

I wanted to buy the 4 ounce youth derm ointment, but the shipping prices are very high! I was wondering if they could be lowered at all since I'm not buying big buckets of aloe vera. Just wondering, and thanks.
The important thing to keep in mind is that whole leaf aloe contains aloin, but inner gel aloe does not. Aloin can irritate the intestinal track, cause cramping and may even make the problem worse. Inner gel only is the way to go.
Mary,
from Stamford, CT.
I really prefer glass to plastic, because I believe raw food could interact over time in plastic. Have you thought of having a glass option? Will you be coming out with one in the near future?
Is yours that much different from 100% aloe vera in health food stores? Is yours in the health food stores?
Thank you.
We are not in big chain stores - only specialty stores that understand the perishable nature of raw un-preserved aloe. Because it is not preserved, if they allow it to thaw, the product quality diminishes proportionally to the time it is thawed.
Regarding whether ours is different from 100% aloe vera in health food stores, I have never seen a health food store that carries 100% aloe. I saw one aloe product that claims to be 100% aloe, but has citric acid also listed as an ingredient. I'm not sure how they get away with that.
I haven't noticed enough of a change to continue paying such a high price for the product, so I'm in the market for something that is pure and most effective.
My question is - some companies say that the whole leaf has to be used b/c the most potent part of the plant is close to the inner rind. I'm wondering if in the process of avoiding the aloin and other anthroquinones that you are missing out on the most important part of the plant, which is at least close to the rind. What do you know and feel about this?
Thanks. JC
Regarding which part of the plant is the potent part... it depends which functional nutrients you are after. Aloin is in the outer layers and has a laxative effect. But mucopolysaccharide s and acemannan are in the gel. There is an abrupt change from rind to gel in the aloe leaf. There is no science demonstrating one part of the gel being more potent than another part of the gel. I suspect someone conceived a non-scientific reason to keep the less desireable outer leaf in their aloe drink. it is cheaper to make and you get a much higher yield from your crop when you use the whole leaf.
Do you have any testing data about the actual potency available from your product by the time it reaches my door?
Thank you.
Just recently I had an emergency surgery for a ruptured colon, due to what turns out to be, extensive diverticular disease in my sigmoid and descending colon.
A colonoscopy just 5 years ago, only revealed diverticular a few random diverticulum.
I'm currently in need of a second surgery to reverse the colostomy that they had to put in so my colon could heal, and have further removal of my descending colon. So, I'm wondering what happened to my colon tissue in the past five years.
What matters most is how to heal the tissue and stop it from getting any worse. I have limited refrigerator and freezer space, and cannot work at this time, so I'd appreciate your advice on whether or not your product is right for me.
Stockton aloe 1 does not use any preservatives in the drink. It is 100% pure aloe vera gel - nothing added.
I just bought a 4 gallon bucket of Aloe 1. Now, I'm wondering whether or not the precious gel can be stored in quart or gallon glass bottles, or mason jars for freezing. Of course, leaving space at the top of the container for expansion.
Also, how much aloe do I want to have thawed for consumption at any one time. I assume that after thawing the gel it would be ideal to consume it within a few days.... but, what do you recommend? This amount would then determine the size of container for storing.
Thanks, Janet
Thanks.
Janet
I have begun to order from you, here in Stamford, CT. I will be coming down to FL to Hollywood and wonder if you accept visitors for touring. Curious to see the aloe source.
Mary
