100 percent aloe vera juice. Hence many people are disappointed because they do not receive the
acclaimed benefits. Before using any brand it is good to check out the exact table of contents as
mentioned in a company’s brochure or better ask the company to give you the exact figures of contents.
Also, don’t be tempted to buy the cheapest aloe vera juice. Aloe vera juice is expensive. If you are not
getting any benefits from it, you may have chosen the wrong product. Try other brands until you are
satisfied. Tests have shown that less than one percent of readily available brands contain acceptable levels
of aloe vera to be of any medicinal value. From the over 1,000 brands of aloe vera available on the market
today, some hardly have a trace of aloe vera in them. Their labels contain such phrases “it tastes like
mineral water” and “no additives or preservatives.” Chemical analysis reveals that these “products”
contain almost nothing but plain mineral water.
The good news is that more and more people have begun to see through the fraud business; hence,
many other companies are now also introducing the real thing.
There is an excellent new aloe vera product in powdered form, which dissolves in water. It is sold by
goodcausewellness.com (see Product Information). It is more convenient than having to buy bottled aloe
vera juice. It is completely free of additives.
Caution: With regular drinking of aloe vera, diabetics may improve the ability of the pancreas to
produce more of its own insulin. Since too much insulin is dangerous, diabetics should consult their
physician to monitor their need for extra insulin. Many diabetics report a reduction in the amount of
insulin required.
Also if you experience diarrhea or intestinal cramping for more than two to three days, discontinue.
This is due to irritants the aloe plant contains. Instead, you may choose a product that has all irritants
removed.
Ionic Liquid Minerals
Your body is like living soil. If it has sufficient minerals and trace elements to work with, it is able to
nurture you and produce everything you need to live and grow. These essential materials, however, can
get easily depleted when you are not getting enough of them through your food. Centuries of constant use
and overuse of the same agricultural fields have led to foods that are highly nutrient-deficient. The
situation worsened with the onset of chemical fertilizers that manipulate crops into growing more rapidly,
with no regard to nutrient availability. When minerals and trace elements run low in the body, important
functions can no longer be sustained, or become subdued. Disease is generally accompanied by lack of
one or more of these important substances.
Because of the unnatural situation of mineral depletion in our soil today and, therefore, in our bodies, it
may be useful for certain individuals (especially Vata and Pitta types who suffer from chronic health
problems) to supplement with natural minerals. The crucial question is whether the minerals sold in
nutrition stores or pharmacies are capable of replenishing the mineral supply to the cells of the body. The
answer is: “Highly unlikely!”
Minerals are commonly made available in three basic forms: capsules, tablets and colloidal mineral
water. Before the depletion of soils, plant foods and the mineral-rich water they absorbed were our best
source of minerals. When a plant grows in a healthy soil environment, it absorbs existing colloidal
minerals and changes them into an ionic, water-soluble form. The ionic minerals come in the minute size
known as angstrom, whereas the colloidal minerals, also known as inorganic, metallic minerals, are about
10,000 times larger (micron-size). Ionic, water-soluble, plant minerals are absorbed readily by our body
cells. In contrast, the absorption rate for colloid particles packed into complex compounds and delivered
