Protects against damage to cartilage
Promotes formation of new healthy cartilage
Ingredients know to relive the symptoms of arthritis and muscular rheumatism
Safely combines with conventional drugs
Powerful and fast acting
Suitable for those suffering from joint inflammation, also sports people wishing to prevent wear and tear.
Key ingredients have been shown to:
Relive pain
Reduce inflammation
Restore mobility
Glucosamine Sulphate
A natural component of cartilage. It can be proved that oral Glucosamine definitely finds its way into joint cartilage. It is safe and very powerful in that research has shown that 1500mg of Glucosamine Sulphate (found in one 120ml serving of Forever Freedom) is equivalent in pain killing terms to 1200mg (the recommended daily amount) of Ibuprofen the popular NSAID (NON Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug)
Chondroitin Sulphate
Again a naturally occurring substance in cartilage that forms its matrix and so works in combination with Glucosamine to make this healthy and strong shock absorber. Chondroitin also helps maintain the viscosity of the synovial fluid in the joint so it works like thick oil in an engine preventing the moving parts from being ground down by each other.
MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane)
This naturally occurring sulphur compound is found in every cell in the body and is necessary for the manufacture of proteins. Alone, it is a strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory and has been used for many years in successfully treating injured horses.
You don't have to suffer from joint problems to benefit from Forever Freedom. Anyone can drink this: athletes worried about recovery times; footballers who train every week and need to protect their joints from wear and tear; also cyclists, hikers, skiers, joggers: in fact anyone who wishes to maintain healthy joint function and mobility.
FOREVER FREEDOM ; FAQ’s
What is Forever Freedom?
An orange flavoured nutritional drink specially formulated by Forever Living Products for aiding in the maintenance of proper joint function.
What are the main ingredients in Forever Freedom?
Forever Freedom’s primary ingredient is our patented stabilised Aloe Vera Gel.
A 4 fluid ounce (120 mls) drink of Forever Freedom contains: 1500 mgs of Glucosamine, 1200 mgs Chondroitin, 720 mgs MSM and 250 mgs Vitamin C.
What is Glucosamine? Chondroitin? MSM?
Glucosamine is a substance found naturally in the body. It is a form of amino sugar, known to assist in cartilage formation and repair. It is also known for rebuilding damaged joints, tendons, cartilage and soft tissue.
Chondriotin is one of the most vital of the compounds in connective tissue, which is responsible for building and supporting the cartilage. As a nutritional supplement, this naturally occurring compound provides potent support for strong, healthy cartilage and joints.
MSM, also known as methyl-sulfonyl-methane, is an organic sulphur. Sulphur is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body found in every cell. It is found in food but is lost when washed, cooked or steamed. The body uses MSM to create new healthy cells as well as other health benefits.
Can I overdose on Glucosamine, Chondriotin and MSM?
No. Because all three elements occur naturally in the body, your body uses what is needed and flushes any excess out.
Are there any side effects?
There have been no negative side effects reported. MSM has been used as a dietary supplement for many years with no reports of negative reactions. Glucosamine and Chondroitin have no known negative side effects. Be sure to consult your physician if you have any concerns or if you are pregnant or nursing.
How much should I drink a day?
Because your body uses these natural components (Glucosamine, Chondriotin and MSM) daily, we recommend you drink Forever Freedom every day. Consumption may vary based on body size, age and type of condition you currently might be experiencing. We recommend you start with 4 fluid ounces daily and then later adjust to what best works for you.
When will I see results?
Everyone’s body will respond differently. You may experience relief within days, while others can take weeks or months. Based on some of our personal testimonials, people experienced relief within days of drinking Forever Freedom. The body will always gain from the benefits that Forever Freedom provides, but in different ways for different people.
What is the difference between Forever Freedom and Aloe Vera Gel?
Although both of these wonderful drinks contain our 100% pure stabilised aloe vera gel, the benefits of each are different. Our Aloe Vera Gel drink is rich in vitamins and minerals and helps boost energy and stimulate the metabolism. While our new Forever Freedom, which also contains Glucosamine, Chondriotin, MSM and Vitamin C, primarily focuses on the alleviation of aching bones and joints. It also helps maintain healthy cartilage and joints. While you can enjoy some of the same benefits in each drink, they both have their distinct functions. Many people choose to take both.
What are the benefits of drinking Freedom?
Forever Freedom helps the body, therefore, not only do you receive relief from aching joints but it also promotes healthy cells, skin, nails and hair.

The Different Medicinal Uses Of Aloe Vera
Dr. H.R. McDaniel, pathologist and researcher at the Dallas-Fort Worth Medical Center said, and I wholeheartedly agree, that…“the use of Aloe Vera will be the most important single step forward in the treatment of diseases in the history of mankind!”
The health benefits of Aloe Vera cover a lengthy and increasing list of ailments and conditions. Traditional medicine and the pharmacological industry may not have embraced Aloe Vera because of the threat it poses to hundreds of prescription and non-prescription drugs and the fact that it cannot be patented.
But that notwithstanding, knowledge of the medicinal uses of Aloe Vera also widely known as the “Miracle Plant” is increasing worldwide at a rapid rate.
Medicinal uses of Aloe Vera: Limits the activity of HIV
Aloe Vera contains Gluco-mannan, a special complex polysaccharide composed largely of the sugar Mannose. It interacts with special cell-surface receptors on those cells which repair damaged tissues, called fibroblasts, stimulating them, activating their faster growth and replication.
An extract of Mannose, one of the sugars in Aloe Vera can inhibit HIV-1, the virus associated with AIDS.
In a 1991 study in Molecular Biotherapy, HIV-1 cells were treated in vitro – outside the body – with the Mannose extract.
Virus reproduction was reduced by as much as 30% by Aloe Vera, viral load – total amount of the virus – as well was reduced, the spread of the virus from the infected cells was suppressed and the viability – chance of survival – of infected cells was increased.
The Aloe Vera gel also proved to be an effective part of a nutritional support program for HIV+ patients according to the Journal of Advancement in Medicine.
For 4 months, 29 patients were given 100% pure Aloe Vera gel (5 ounces, 4 times daily) along with an essential fatty acid supplement and another supplement containing vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
Patients were told to continue with their normal diet and not to take other supplements.
After 90 days all of the patients had fewer occurrences of opportunistic infections, thrush, fatigue and diarrhoea, as well as increased white blood cell counts meaning their immune systems were responding positively.
Their assessment of overall quality of health also improved. In 255 of the patients, Aloe Vera apparently knocked out the virus’s ability to reproduce.
Researchers found that Aloe Vera stimulates the body’s immune system, particularly T4 helper cells – white blood cells that activate the immune response to infection.
Medicinal uses of Aloe Vera: Protects against Radiation
With the invention of the atom bomb it was discovered early in the search for protection against radiation burns that the best treatment was Aloe Vera gel.
It is rumored that the U.S.A. and the U.K. have huge stockpiles of Aloe Vera for use in the event of a nuclear attack and doctors have even prescribed it for intravenous use when treating radiation burns.
The Aloe Vera gel has a dramatic ability to heal wounds, ulcers and burns by putting a protective coating on the affected areas, speeding up the healing rate, relieving pain and preventing blisters.
It can also reduce inflammation, decrease swelling and redness and accelerate wound healing. Aloe Vera increases availability of Oxygen to the skin and also increases the synthesis and strength of tissue.
Aloe Vera protects against skin damage from X-rays according to researchers at Hoshi University in Japan publishing in the journal Yakugaku Zasshi.
They found that Aloe Vera was an effective antioxidant, mopping up the free radicals caused by radiation, and that it protected two of the body’s healing substances, Superoxide Dismutase (an antioxidant enzyme) and Glutathione (an amino acid which stimulates the immune system).
Medicinal uses of Aloe Vera: Minimizes Frostbite Damage
A study published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine established that Aloe Vera works well for frostbite.
Researchers gave standard treatments for frostbite – antibiotics, Ibuprofen and rewarding – to 154 patients with mild to severe frostbite.
Of patients who additionally received Aloe Vera cream, 67.9% healed without any tissue loss (amputation) compared to 32.7% in the control group.
Researchers concluded that Aloe Vera prevented a decrease of blood flow to the frozen tissues, a common cause of tissue loss in frostbite. Read on for more examples of the medicinal uses of Aloe Vera.

An article from The Journal of the IASC
Excerpt from a study by Dr. Faith Strickland, University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
In years past it was popularly supposed that a deep suntan made us look better than the pale look we wore during the winter months... as though a mahogany tan meant that we could afford to go south for the winter, or to some sun-drenched island, instead of having to work for a living like our contemporaries. It set us apart from the drudges who worked all winter, unable to afford the sunny climates.
Well, we may have looked better (although some would dispute the fact), but it turns out that what we were really doing was bringing about potentially serious damage to our skin and immune systems.
Recent studies have shown that a bad sunburn, even one that we might have suffered many years ago, can turn into cancer in later life. Not all of these cancers turn out to be melanoma, the really serious form of skin cancer, and may be surgically removed. But melanoma can metastasize, or spread through the body, and that becomes a serious problem, indeed.
Now we have information that sunburn can, and often does, wreak havoc with the body’s immune system, leaving us vulnerable to other diseases. The immune system helps keep us well by providing the body’s primary defense against those germs and viruses that it recognizes as “foreign bodies.” When it is functioning well, we may expect to remain reasonably healthy. When it is compromised, illness results, in most cases, since our bodies are constantly being bombarded by things that can make us ill.
Exposure to Ultra Violet-B light, from the sun, has been shown to impair the cellular immune response of the skin, which may lead to tumor formation. But the work of Dr. Faith Strickland, of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas, suggests the possibility that Aloe vera can not only stop the damage done to the immune system, but can actually restore the system to full working order.
Obviously this doesn’t mean that we can go out and get a worry-free sunburn, then apply some Aloe to our skin and forget about it. Nevertheless, if you do happen to get a bit more sun than intended, it makes good sense to get yourself some Aloe vera gel and gently massage it into the affected area. It won’t hurt, and it may well make you feel a good deal better.
The research done by Dr. Strickland and hundreds of other researchers and scientists is mounting up, resulting in a more complete understanding of the therapeutic value of Aloe vera gel and the many ways in which Aloe can contribute to the health and well-being of people throughout the world.

Karina Smirnoff On Her Beauty Home Remedies: “Aloe Vera Cures Everything”
As a top hoofer on Dancing With The Stars Karina Smirnoff might have Hollywood’s best products at her disposal, but when it comes to beauty, the dancer revealed to PEOPLE last night, she’d prefers grocery store shelves to department store counters. “I’ve got to be honest,” she confided at the Entertainment Weekly and Women in Film Pre-Emmy Party, “I don’t spend a lot of time or money on buying expensive products, because there are so many natural ways — like you can use olive oil for your skin. You don’t even have to spend hundreds of dollars on an eye cream,” she says frankly. Karina traces her love of kitchen-cupboard beauty to her Greco-Russian upbringing. “Have you seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? How I think they had Windex that cured everything. With my family, Aloe Vera cures everything. If you have a blister: Aloe Vera. If you have a wrinkle: Aloe Vera. So, I think it comes with being half-Greek and half-Russian. We’ve always been into natural.” And she’ll soon be making her family beauty fix-alls accessible to everyone.

About Bee pollen
Pollen is the fertilizing dust of flowers. Bees gather and bring it back to their hives for food. Without pollen, plants, trees and flowers could not exist; even we depend on it.
Bee pollen contains a wide spectrum of nutrients to help maintain good health. These include all vitamins of the B-complex and vitamin C. Since these are water soluble, they can be taken daily. Bee pollen also contains vitamins D, E, K, and Beta Carotene (vitamin A), plus numerous minerals, enzymes and coenzymes, plant-source fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and 22 amino acids – including all eight “essential” amino acids that the body cannot manufacture for itself. Bee pollen is one of the most complete foods available.
Bee pollen also contains Lecithin, which exists naturally in all cells and aids in the metabolism of fats. The nutrients in bee pollen are readily digestible and easily absorbed by the human body. Forever Bee Pollen may assist in maintaining a healthy circulatory, digestive, immune, and nervous system.
• Essential supplement
• Contains many vitamins and minerals
• Contains all essential amino acids
• Beneficial to the skin
Bee pollen is often referred to as nature's most complete food. Human consumption of bee pollen is praised in the Bible, other religious books, and ancient Chinese and Egyptian texts. It has long been prescribed by traditional health practitioners-including the fathers of Western medicine Hippocrates, Pliny the Elder, and Pythagoras-for its healing properties. Bee pollen rejuvenates your body, stimulates organs and glands, enhances vitality, and brings about a longer life span. Bee pollen's ability to consistently and noticeably increase energy levels makes it a favorite substance among many world class athletes and those interested in sustaining and enhancing quality performance.
What is Bee Pollen?
Pollen is the male seed of flowers. It is required for the fertilization of the plant. The tiny particles consist of 50/1,000-millimeter corpuscles, formed at the free end of the stamen in the heart of the blossom. Every variety of flower in the universe puts forth a dusting of pollen. Many orchard fruits and agricultural food crops do, too.
Bee pollen is the food of the young bee and it is approximately 40% protein. It is considered one of nature's most completely nourishing foods. It contains nearly all nutrients required by humans. About half of its protein is in the form of free amino acids that are ready to be sued directly by the body. Such highly assimilable protein can contribute significantly to one's protein needs.
Gathering pollen is not as easy as it sounds. Once a honeybee arrives at a flower, she settles herself in and nimbly scrapes off the powdery loose pollen from the stamen with her jaws and front legs, moistening it with a dab of the honey she brought with her from the hive. The enlarged and broadened tarsal segments of her legs have a thick trimming of bristles, called pollen combs. The bee uses these combs to brush the gold powder from her coat and legs in mid-flight. With a skillful pressing movement of her auricle, which is used as a hammer, she pushes the gathered gold into her baskets. Her pollen baskets, surrounded by a fringe of long hairs, are simply concave areas located on the outside of her tibias. When the bee's baskets are fully loaded, the microscopic golden dust has been tamped down into a single golden grain, or granule.
One of the most interesting facts about bee pollen is that it cannot be synthesized in a laboratory. When researchers take away a bee's pollen-filled comb and feed her man-made pollen, the bee dies even though all the known nutrients are present in the lab-produced synthesized food. Many thousands of chemical analyses of bee pollen have been made with the very latest diagnostic equipment, but there are still some elements present in bee pollen that science cannot identify. The bees add some mysterious "extra" of their own. These unidentifiable elements may very well be the reason bee pollen works so spectacularly against so many diverse conditions of ill health.
Honeybees do double duty. They are programmed to gather pollen and carry it back to the hive as food for the colony. However, even more important as far as humans are concerned, they are also responsible for the pollination of more than 80 percent of green growing things. As bees buzz from blossom to blossom, microscopic pollen particles coat their stubby little bodies so densely that they sometimes look like little yellow fuzz balls. When they arrive at the next flower, a portion of the live golden dust is transferred to that blossom and pollination is accomplished.
It is important to recognize that a one teaspoon dose of pollen takes one bee working eight hours a day for one month to gather. Each bee pollen pellet, contains over two million flower pollen grains and one teaspoonful contains over 2.5 billion grains of flower pollen.
Bee Pollen Nutrition
The benefits of Bee pollen are that it contains all the essential components of life. The percentage of rejuvenating elements in bee pollen remarkably exceeds those present in brewer's yeast and wheat germ. Bee pollen corrects the deficient or unbalanced nutrition, common in the customs of our present-day civilization of consuming incomplete foods, often with added chemical ingredients, which expose us to physiological problems as various as they are numerous.
Pollen is considered an energy and nutritive tonic in Chinese medicine. Cultures throughout the world use it in a surprising number of applications: for improving endurance and vitality, extending longevity, aiding recovery from chronic illness, adding weight during convalescence, reducing cravings and addictions, regulating the intestines, building new blood, preventing infectious diseases such as the cold and flue (it has antibiotic type properties), and helping overcome retardation and other developmental problems in children. It is thought to protect against radiation and to have anti-cancer qualities.
Nutrient deficiencies and all the health problems they cause are recognized worldwide as a growing problem. Because bee pollen contains all the nutrients needed to sustain life, it is being used on an ever larger scale for human nourishment and health. Science teaches that bee pollen contains many substances that combine to make it a healthy, nutritious, complete food. There are numerous reports from medical experience that conclusively show the benefits of bee pollen exceed that of a simple food item. And the bees do most of the work.
Bee-gathered pollens are rich in proteins, free amino acids, vitamins, including B-complex, and folic acid.
According to researchers at the Institute of Apiculture, Taranov, Russia, "Honeybee pollen is the richest source of vitamins found in Nature in a single food. Even if bee pollen had none of its other vital ingredients, its content of rutin alone would justify taking at least a teaspoon daily, if for no other reason than strengthening the capillaries. Pollen is extremely rich in rutin and may have the highest content of any source, plus it provides a high content of the nucleics RNA [ribonucleic acid] and DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid]."
Bee pollen is a complete food and contains many elements that products of animal origin do not possess. Bee pollen is more rich in proteins than any animal source. It contains more amino acids than beef, eggs, or cheese of equal weight. Bee pollen is particularly concentrated in all elements necessary for life.
Medical Miracles
Researchers have demonstrated that there is a substance in bee pollen that inhibits the development of numerous harmful bacteria. Experiments have shown bee pollen contains an antibiotic factor effective against salmonella and some strains of bacteria. On the clinical level, studies have shown that a regulatory effect on intestinal function can be attributed to bee pollen. The presence of a high proportion of cellulose and fiber in pollen, as well as the existence of antibiotic factors, all contribute to an explanation for this efficacious effect.
Working with lab animals has demonstrated that the ingestion of bee pollen has a good effect on the composition of blood. A considerable and simultaneous increase of both white and red blood cells is observed. When bee pollen is given to anemic patients, their levels of hemoglobin [oxygen-carrying red blood cells] increase considerably.
It is reported that bee pollen in the diet acts to normalize cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood: Upon the regular ingestion of bee pollen, a reduction of cholesterol and triglycerides was observed. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) increased, while low-density lipoproteins (LDL) decreased. A normalization of blood serum cholesterol levels is also seen.
One of the most important articles ever published on bee pollen comes from our own United States Department of Agriculture. This article, entitled "Delay in the Appearance of Palpable Mammary Tumors in C3H Mice Following the Ingestion of PolIenized Food," is the work of William Robinson of the Bureau of Entomology, Agriculture Research Administration. It was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute way back in October 1948, five decades ago. According to the article, Dr. Robinson started with mice that had been specially bred to develop and subsequently die from tumors. He explains, "The age at which mice of this strain developed tumors ranged from 18 to 57 weeks, with an average appearance at 33 weeks. Tumor incidence was 100 percent."
The pollen used in this study was supplied by the Division of Bee Culture and, according to the report, "was the bee-gathered type." One group of mice was fed mice chow only; another group was fed mice chow with the addition of bee pollen at a ratio of 1 part bee pollen to 10,000 parts food. Dr. Robinson's article states, "Particular attention was given to the weight of the treated animals, since underweight can in itself bring about a delay in tumor development. No decrease in weight occurred in the animals receiving the pollenized food. Instead, a slight but fairly uniform increase was noted, possibly due to a nutritional factor in pollen."
In his summary, Dr. Robinson reveals the dramatic results: "In the untreated mice [the mice not given bee pollen], mammary tumors appeared as expected at an average of 31.3 weeks. Tumor incidence was 100 percent. In the postponement series, [the mice given bee pollen], the average [onset of tumors] was 41.1 weeks, a delay of 9.8 weeks being obtained. Seven mice in this series were still tumor-free at 56 to 62 weeks of age, when the tests were terminated. I would like to emphasize that these mice were especially bred to die from cancerous tumors. Without the protection of bee pollen in their food, the mice developed tumors and died right on schedule.
Given the fact that cancer is the number-two killer in the United States (heart disease is number one), we can all certainly agree that this is an electrifying article. What happened from it? Nothing. Even the National Cancer Institute, which published it, failed to follow up on this very promising line of research. It was dropped with no explanation.
More good news comes from the University of Vienna, where Dr. Peter Hernuss and colleagues conducted a study of twenty-five women suffering from inoperable uterine cancer. Because surgery was impossible, the women were treated with chemotherapy. The lucky women given bee pollen with their food quickly exhibited a higher concentration of cancer-fighting immune-system cells, increased antibody production, and a markedly improved level of infection-fighting and oxygen carrying red blood cells (hemoglobin). These women suffered less from the awful side effects of chemotherapy as well. Bee pollen lessened the terrible nausea that commonly accompanies the treatment and helped keep hair loss to a minimum. The women also slept better at night. The control group receiving a placebo did not experience comparable relief.
A report from the Agronomic Institute, Faculty of Zootechnics, Romania, showed the immune-strengthening effects of bee pollen. According to the report, "Comparative Studies Concerning Biochemical Characteristics of Beebread as Related to the Pollen Preserved in Honey" by Drs. E. Palos, Z. Voiculescu, and C. Andrei, "An increase has been recorded in the level of blood lymphocytes, gamma globulins, and proteins in those subjects given pollen in comparison with control groups. The most significant difference occurred in lymphocytes. These results thus signify a strengthening in the resistance of the organic system."
Lymphocytes are the white blood cells that are the "soldiers" of the immune system. They are responsible for ridding the body of injurious and harmful substances, including infected or diseased cells, mutant and cancerous cells, viruses, metabolic trash, and so on. Gamma globulin is a protein formed in the blood, and our ability to resist infection is closely related to this protein's activity.
Infertility Problems
Pollen stimulates ovarian function. The best results were obtained with a pollen supplementation of 2 parts per 100 in the ration, and with the substitution of animal proteins with pollen in a proportion of 5 parts per 100. The intensity of ovulation increased. Parallel to this increase in ovulation, pollen also improves the ability of eggs to withstand the incubation period. The best results were obtained with a quantity of 4 parts per 100 of pollen added to the ration, resulting in an increase in the percentage of eggs in respect to the control group. The application of pollen is recommended whenever the end result is obtaining eggs for reproduction.
Bee Products Also Treats Allergies!
Pollen is also a remedy for hay fever and allergies. However it must be taken at least six weeks before the season begins and then continued throughout the season if it going to work.
Bee pollen has been effectively used down through the ages to rid allergy sufferers of their afflictions. This technique, called desensitization, was developed at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London soon after the turn of the century. The treatment consists of administering small amounts of the allergen to stimulate the patients own immune system to produce antibodies that will eliminate the allergic reaction. It works rather like a vaccination does against childhood diseases. Desensitization is based on the premise that the administration of the allergen will cause the body to produce antibodies that will cancel out the effects of the offending substance when the patient is again exposed to it.
Leo Conway, M.D., of Denver Colorado, treated his patients with pollen. Dr. Conway reported: "All patients who had taken the antigen [pollen] for three years remained free from all allergy symptoms, no matter where they lived and regardless of diet. Control has been achieved in 100 percent of my earlier cases and the field is ever-expanding. Since oral feeding of pollen for this use was first perfected in his laboratory, astounding results were obtained. No ill consequences have resulted. Ninety-four percent of all his patients were completely free from allergy symptoms. Of the other six percent, not one followed directions, but even this small percentage were nonetheless partially relieved".
Relief of hay fever, pollen-induced asthma, with ever increasing control of bronchitis, ulcers of the digestive tract, colitis, migraine headaches, and urinary disorders were all totally successful. Unfortunately, Dr. Conway, an early pioneer in the field of allergies, is now deceased. What we did not know was just how lightning-fast it could bring relief. It actually eliminated long-standing symptoms in minutes. Everything from asthma to allergies to sinus problems cleared. These trials confirmed that bee pollen is wonderfully effective against a very wide range of respiratory distress.
Bee Products and Physical Activity
The British Sports Council recorded increases in strength of as high as 40 to 50 percent in those taking bee pollen regularly. Even more astounding, the British Royal Society has reported height increases in adults who take pollen. Antii Lananaki, coach of the Finnish track team that swept the Olympics in 1972, revealed, "Most of our athletes take pollen food supplements. Our studies show it significantly improves their performance. There have been no negative results since we have been supplying pollen to our athletes."
Alex Woodly, then executive director of the prestigious Education Athletic Club in Philadelphia, said, "Bee pollen works, and it works perfectly. Pollen allows super-stars to increase their strength and stamina up to 25 percent. This increase in strength and endurance may be the key to the secret regenerative power of bee pollen. Bee pollen causes a definite decrease in pulse rate. The whole beauty of bee pollen is that it's as natural as you can get. No chemicals. No steroids." Renowned German naturalist Francis Huber was a great proponent of this miraculous food from the hive. Huber called bee pollen "the greatest body builder on Earth."
Bee Pollen and Weight Control
Bee pollen works wonders in a weight-control or weight-stabilization regimen by correcting a possible chemical imbalance in body metabolism that may be involved in either abnormal weight gain or loss. The normalizing and stabilizing effects of this perfect food from the bees are phenomenal.
In weight-loss programs, bee pollen stimulates the metabolic processes. It speeds caloric burn by lighting and stoking the metabolic fires. Honeybee pollen is coming to be recognized as Nature's true weight-loss food. Bee pollen is a low-calorie food. It contains only ninety calories per ounce. (An ounce is about two heaping tablespoons.) It offers 15 percent lecithin by volume. Lecithin is a substance that helps dissolve and flush fat from the body. This is one reason why bee pollen lowers low-density lipoproteins (LDL) surer and faster than any other food while helping increase the helpful high-density lipoproteins (HDL), which science says protect against cholesterol and heart disease.
By boosting the value of each nutrient present in the food you eat, bee pollen also eliminates cravings. Its natural phenylalanine content acts as an appetite suppressant. Phenylalanine is a natural amino acid that the body requires. It acts on your apostate, the control center that signals fullness and hunger. Mother Nature knows what she's about. You just plain won't want to eat as much when you take bee pollen regularly. When you are overweight, phenylalanine exerts a natural appetite suppressant effect. When you need to gain weight, the phenylalanine in bee pollen works in reverse.
The chemical drug in over-the-counter weight-loss products is a man-made cousin of phenylalanine called phenylpropanolamine, which chemically depresses the appetite whether you are fat, thin, or just right. It can also give you the jitters and leave you with a drug-induced "hangover" and can be addictive. Phenylpropanolamine is a common ingredient in many decongestants, explaining why one of the side effects of these products is loss of appetite. Products that include phenylpropanolamine as an ingredient must by law carry a warning that they should not be taken by persons with certain conditions, including thyroid problems and high blood pressure.
Health and Beauty
Basic beauty begins with the glow of good health, which shines from within. A scrubbed and radiant complexion transforms any woman (or man) into a singularly attractive person. On the other hand, dull, muddy skin, often caused by poor nutrition or personal hygiene, can detract from even the most attractive. Studies have shown that unhealthy or aging skin can be dramatically improved by the consumption of honeybee pollen.
When bee pollen is included daily in the diet, it not only gives you the glow of health and aids in safe, permanent weight loss, but it can also be blended into seemingly "magic potions" to smooth, soothe, and rejuvenate every inch of the outside of your body. Several relatively inexpensive mixtures of hive products, used externally, can revitalize and rejuvenate the complexion and may even eliminate acne.
Dr. Lars-Erik Essen, a dermatologist in Halsinborg, Sweden, pioneered the use of bee products for skin conditions. He treated many of his patients successfully for acne. Dr. Essen says, "Through transcutaneous nutrition, bee pollen exerts a profound biological effect. It seems to prevent premature aging of the cells and stimulates growth of new skin tissue. It offers effective protection against dehydration and injects new life into dry cells. It smooths away wrinkles and stimulates a life-giving blood supply to all skin cells.
The skin becomes younger looking, less vulnerable to wrinkles, smoother, and healthier with the use of honeybee pollen," Dr. Essen says. "Taken internally or used externally, bee pollen exercises a suppressive effect on facial acne. It is also an important skin rejuvenator, primarily because it contains a high concentration of the nucleic acids RNA and DNA as well as a natural antibiotic factor."
The French, long noted for their preoccupation with all things beautiful, have done a great deal of research on the use of bee pollen and other hive products in cosmetic preparations. Dr. M. Esperrois of the French Institute of Chemistry notes that honeybee pollen contains potent antibiotics that can act to reverse the effects normal aging exerts on skin, correcting darkening, wrinkles, and blemishes.
Professors N. Mankovsky and D. G. Chebotarev, two Russian scientists, confirm honeybee pollen stimulates cell renewal. They say, "The rejuvenation of skin and body cells can be encouraged by the administration of the poly-vitamins, microelements, enzymes, hormones, and amino acids present m bee pollen. These nutrients are needed by the body to form new tissue." These professors go on to praise the properties of bee pollen, calling them "vital to a form of internal and external rejuvenation at the cellular level.
Longevity and the Aging Process
According to G. Liebold, a holistic physician and psychologist of Karlsruhe, Germany, "Bee pollen is an excellent prophylaxis and therapeutic treatment against all the precocious symptoms of old age. It should be considered a universal geriatric treatment in the form of a natural remedy.
"Bee pollen causes an increase in physical and mental abilities, especially of concentration and memory ability, activates sluggish metabolic functions, and strengthens the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. This natural nutriment from the bees removes the causes of cardiovascular symptoms, such as arteriosclerosis, cerebral insufficiency, and other sequelae. It prevents nutrient deficiency during old age, gravidity [pregnancy], and the lactation [nursing] period. Bee pollen accelerates convalescence after serious illness and/or an operation, increases the body's physical defensive powers of the immune system stimulates mental and psychological resistance to stress, and creates a harmonizing of vegetative and hormonal disorders."
Dr. Nicolai Vasilievich Tsitsin, the USSR's chief biologist (and botanist) and an acknowledged expert on geriatrics, spent quite a few years pursuing the secrets of the many in what was the Soviet Union who live extraordinarily long lives. He visited the numerous small villages that dot the landscape high up in the Caucasus mountains, where the air is always clear and sweet. In summer, the breezes there are perfumed with the scent of thousands of wild flowers. The villagers work their small farms and tend their kitchen gardens without the dubious "benefits" of the space-age technologies employed by agribiz conglomerates. This is one of the few areas left in the world where the old ways still prevail.
The stalwart families who make their homes in the mountainous regions of the former Soviet Union are some of the most long-lived people in the world. On examination, many exhibit signs of "silent" heart disease, scars of "silent" heart attacks that would have almost certainly been lethal to a modern man or woman. The hard physical work they do every day well into what some of us in the so-called civilized world consider old age plays a part in their remarkably healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Tsitsin was amazed to find more than 200 individuals over 125 years of age, all still working every day and participating actively in village life. The hard facts of their daily existence partially explained the extended life span they achieved, but Dr. Tsitsin remained puzzled. He knew there had to be some other factor entering into the equation. He set himself the task of finding the common denominator. Then he stumbled upon it.
These people kept bees. Beekeeping is a profession that in itself a historically confers some sort of "magical" life protection on its members, a fact validated by today's scientific research. Still, only very well informed, modern beekeepers are knowledgeable about the many health-promoting benefits of bee pollen and regularly serve it at table. The villagers didn't fit the profile. Dr. Tsitsin dug deeper.
He found the answer. These beekeepers, happy and fulfilled though they were with their almost idyllic pastoral existence, were very poor. Bartering among themselves to exchange homegrown or handmade products for services was the accepted way of life. They had little cash available to them, so they regularly harvested-and either sold or bartered away the pure, clear honey from the combs of their beehives. What they kept for themselves and ate regularly was the thick residue that accumulated on the bottoms of their hives.
When he was served some of the sweet, sticky stuff in the home of one of the villagers, Dr. Tsitsin realized that this was the magic elixir that contributed to the remarkable longevity. The tasty but unattractive glob was rich with golden granules of bee pollen. Dr. Tsitsin attributed the remarkable health and extended life spans of these particular Russians to the scientifically documented action of bee pollen. He concluded his report by saying, "Taken regularly and in sufficient amounts, bee pollen will prolong the life span of man for many years."
Another Russian scientist, Naum Petrovich Ioyrish, chief of the Academy of July 26, 1997Vladivostok and author of Bees and People, agrees. In 1975, Dr. Ioyrish reported without any qualification, "Long lives are attained by bee pollen users. It is one of the original treasure houses of nutrition and medicine. Each grain contains every important substance necessary to life."
Bee pollen contains a wide spectrum of nutrients to help maintain good health. These include all vitamins of the B-complex and vitamin C. Since these are water soluble, they can be taken daily. Bee pollen also contains vitamins D, E, K, and Beta Carotene (vitamin A), plus numerous minerals, enzymes and coenzymes, plant-source fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and 22 amino acids – including all eight “essential” amino acids that the body cannot manufacture for itself. Bee pollen is one of the most complete foods available.
Bee pollen also contains Lecithin, which exists naturally in all cells and aids in the metabolism of fats. The nutrients in bee pollen are readily digestible and easily absorbed by the human body. Forever Bee Pollen may assist in maintaining a healthy circulatory, digestive, immune, and nervous system.
• Essential supplement
• Contains many vitamins and minerals
• Contains all essential amino acids
• Beneficial to the skin
Bee pollen is often referred to as nature's most complete food. Human consumption of bee pollen is praised in the Bible, other religious books, and ancient Chinese and Egyptian texts. It has long been prescribed by traditional health practitioners-including the fathers of Western medicine Hippocrates, Pliny the Elder, and Pythagoras-for its healing properties. Bee pollen rejuvenates your body, stimulates organs and glands, enhances vitality, and brings about a longer life span. Bee pollen's ability to consistently and noticeably increase energy levels makes it a favorite substance among many world class athletes and those interested in sustaining and enhancing quality performance.
What is Bee Pollen?
Pollen is the male seed of flowers. It is required for the fertilization of the plant. The tiny particles consist of 50/1,000-millimeter corpuscles, formed at the free end of the stamen in the heart of the blossom. Every variety of flower in the universe puts forth a dusting of pollen. Many orchard fruits and agricultural food crops do, too.
Bee pollen is the food of the young bee and it is approximately 40% protein. It is considered one of nature's most completely nourishing foods. It contains nearly all nutrients required by humans. About half of its protein is in the form of free amino acids that are ready to be sued directly by the body. Such highly assimilable protein can contribute significantly to one's protein needs.
Gathering pollen is not as easy as it sounds. Once a honeybee arrives at a flower, she settles herself in and nimbly scrapes off the powdery loose pollen from the stamen with her jaws and front legs, moistening it with a dab of the honey she brought with her from the hive. The enlarged and broadened tarsal segments of her legs have a thick trimming of bristles, called pollen combs. The bee uses these combs to brush the gold powder from her coat and legs in mid-flight. With a skillful pressing movement of her auricle, which is used as a hammer, she pushes the gathered gold into her baskets. Her pollen baskets, surrounded by a fringe of long hairs, are simply concave areas located on the outside of her tibias. When the bee's baskets are fully loaded, the microscopic golden dust has been tamped down into a single golden grain, or granule.
One of the most interesting facts about bee pollen is that it cannot be synthesized in a laboratory. When researchers take away a bee's pollen-filled comb and feed her man-made pollen, the bee dies even though all the known nutrients are present in the lab-produced synthesized food. Many thousands of chemical analyses of bee pollen have been made with the very latest diagnostic equipment, but there are still some elements present in bee pollen that science cannot identify. The bees add some mysterious "extra" of their own. These unidentifiable elements may very well be the reason bee pollen works so spectacularly against so many diverse conditions of ill health.
Honeybees do double duty. They are programmed to gather pollen and carry it back to the hive as food for the colony. However, even more important as far as humans are concerned, they are also responsible for the pollination of more than 80 percent of green growing things. As bees buzz from blossom to blossom, microscopic pollen particles coat their stubby little bodies so densely that they sometimes look like little yellow fuzz balls. When they arrive at the next flower, a portion of the live golden dust is transferred to that blossom and pollination is accomplished.
It is important to recognize that a one teaspoon dose of pollen takes one bee working eight hours a day for one month to gather. Each bee pollen pellet, contains over two million flower pollen grains and one teaspoonful contains over 2.5 billion grains of flower pollen.
Bee Pollen Nutrition
The benefits of Bee pollen are that it contains all the essential components of life. The percentage of rejuvenating elements in bee pollen remarkably exceeds those present in brewer's yeast and wheat germ. Bee pollen corrects the deficient or unbalanced nutrition, common in the customs of our present-day civilization of consuming incomplete foods, often with added chemical ingredients, which expose us to physiological problems as various as they are numerous.
Pollen is considered an energy and nutritive tonic in Chinese medicine. Cultures throughout the world use it in a surprising number of applications: for improving endurance and vitality, extending longevity, aiding recovery from chronic illness, adding weight during convalescence, reducing cravings and addictions, regulating the intestines, building new blood, preventing infectious diseases such as the cold and flue (it has antibiotic type properties), and helping overcome retardation and other developmental problems in children. It is thought to protect against radiation and to have anti-cancer qualities.
Nutrient deficiencies and all the health problems they cause are recognized worldwide as a growing problem. Because bee pollen contains all the nutrients needed to sustain life, it is being used on an ever larger scale for human nourishment and health. Science teaches that bee pollen contains many substances that combine to make it a healthy, nutritious, complete food. There are numerous reports from medical experience that conclusively show the benefits of bee pollen exceed that of a simple food item. And the bees do most of the work.
Bee-gathered pollens are rich in proteins, free amino acids, vitamins, including B-complex, and folic acid.
According to researchers at the Institute of Apiculture, Taranov, Russia, "Honeybee pollen is the richest source of vitamins found in Nature in a single food. Even if bee pollen had none of its other vital ingredients, its content of rutin alone would justify taking at least a teaspoon daily, if for no other reason than strengthening the capillaries. Pollen is extremely rich in rutin and may have the highest content of any source, plus it provides a high content of the nucleics RNA [ribonucleic acid] and DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid]."
Bee pollen is a complete food and contains many elements that products of animal origin do not possess. Bee pollen is more rich in proteins than any animal source. It contains more amino acids than beef, eggs, or cheese of equal weight. Bee pollen is particularly concentrated in all elements necessary for life.
Medical Miracles
Researchers have demonstrated that there is a substance in bee pollen that inhibits the development of numerous harmful bacteria. Experiments have shown bee pollen contains an antibiotic factor effective against salmonella and some strains of bacteria. On the clinical level, studies have shown that a regulatory effect on intestinal function can be attributed to bee pollen. The presence of a high proportion of cellulose and fiber in pollen, as well as the existence of antibiotic factors, all contribute to an explanation for this efficacious effect.
Working with lab animals has demonstrated that the ingestion of bee pollen has a good effect on the composition of blood. A considerable and simultaneous increase of both white and red blood cells is observed. When bee pollen is given to anemic patients, their levels of hemoglobin [oxygen-carrying red blood cells] increase considerably.
It is reported that bee pollen in the diet acts to normalize cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood: Upon the regular ingestion of bee pollen, a reduction of cholesterol and triglycerides was observed. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) increased, while low-density lipoproteins (LDL) decreased. A normalization of blood serum cholesterol levels is also seen.
One of the most important articles ever published on bee pollen comes from our own United States Department of Agriculture. This article, entitled "Delay in the Appearance of Palpable Mammary Tumors in C3H Mice Following the Ingestion of PolIenized Food," is the work of William Robinson of the Bureau of Entomology, Agriculture Research Administration. It was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute way back in October 1948, five decades ago. According to the article, Dr. Robinson started with mice that had been specially bred to develop and subsequently die from tumors. He explains, "The age at which mice of this strain developed tumors ranged from 18 to 57 weeks, with an average appearance at 33 weeks. Tumor incidence was 100 percent."
The pollen used in this study was supplied by the Division of Bee Culture and, according to the report, "was the bee-gathered type." One group of mice was fed mice chow only; another group was fed mice chow with the addition of bee pollen at a ratio of 1 part bee pollen to 10,000 parts food. Dr. Robinson's article states, "Particular attention was given to the weight of the treated animals, since underweight can in itself bring about a delay in tumor development. No decrease in weight occurred in the animals receiving the pollenized food. Instead, a slight but fairly uniform increase was noted, possibly due to a nutritional factor in pollen."
In his summary, Dr. Robinson reveals the dramatic results: "In the untreated mice [the mice not given bee pollen], mammary tumors appeared as expected at an average of 31.3 weeks. Tumor incidence was 100 percent. In the postponement series, [the mice given bee pollen], the average [onset of tumors] was 41.1 weeks, a delay of 9.8 weeks being obtained. Seven mice in this series were still tumor-free at 56 to 62 weeks of age, when the tests were terminated. I would like to emphasize that these mice were especially bred to die from cancerous tumors. Without the protection of bee pollen in their food, the mice developed tumors and died right on schedule.
Given the fact that cancer is the number-two killer in the United States (heart disease is number one), we can all certainly agree that this is an electrifying article. What happened from it? Nothing. Even the National Cancer Institute, which published it, failed to follow up on this very promising line of research. It was dropped with no explanation.
More good news comes from the University of Vienna, where Dr. Peter Hernuss and colleagues conducted a study of twenty-five women suffering from inoperable uterine cancer. Because surgery was impossible, the women were treated with chemotherapy. The lucky women given bee pollen with their food quickly exhibited a higher concentration of cancer-fighting immune-system cells, increased antibody production, and a markedly improved level of infection-fighting and oxygen carrying red blood cells (hemoglobin). These women suffered less from the awful side effects of chemotherapy as well. Bee pollen lessened the terrible nausea that commonly accompanies the treatment and helped keep hair loss to a minimum. The women also slept better at night. The control group receiving a placebo did not experience comparable relief.
A report from the Agronomic Institute, Faculty of Zootechnics, Romania, showed the immune-strengthening effects of bee pollen. According to the report, "Comparative Studies Concerning Biochemical Characteristics of Beebread as Related to the Pollen Preserved in Honey" by Drs. E. Palos, Z. Voiculescu, and C. Andrei, "An increase has been recorded in the level of blood lymphocytes, gamma globulins, and proteins in those subjects given pollen in comparison with control groups. The most significant difference occurred in lymphocytes. These results thus signify a strengthening in the resistance of the organic system."
Lymphocytes are the white blood cells that are the "soldiers" of the immune system. They are responsible for ridding the body of injurious and harmful substances, including infected or diseased cells, mutant and cancerous cells, viruses, metabolic trash, and so on. Gamma globulin is a protein formed in the blood, and our ability to resist infection is closely related to this protein's activity.
Infertility Problems
Pollen stimulates ovarian function. The best results were obtained with a pollen supplementation of 2 parts per 100 in the ration, and with the substitution of animal proteins with pollen in a proportion of 5 parts per 100. The intensity of ovulation increased. Parallel to this increase in ovulation, pollen also improves the ability of eggs to withstand the incubation period. The best results were obtained with a quantity of 4 parts per 100 of pollen added to the ration, resulting in an increase in the percentage of eggs in respect to the control group. The application of pollen is recommended whenever the end result is obtaining eggs for reproduction.
Bee Products Also Treats Allergies!
Pollen is also a remedy for hay fever and allergies. However it must be taken at least six weeks before the season begins and then continued throughout the season if it going to work.
Bee pollen has been effectively used down through the ages to rid allergy sufferers of their afflictions. This technique, called desensitization, was developed at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London soon after the turn of the century. The treatment consists of administering small amounts of the allergen to stimulate the patients own immune system to produce antibodies that will eliminate the allergic reaction. It works rather like a vaccination does against childhood diseases. Desensitization is based on the premise that the administration of the allergen will cause the body to produce antibodies that will cancel out the effects of the offending substance when the patient is again exposed to it.
Leo Conway, M.D., of Denver Colorado, treated his patients with pollen. Dr. Conway reported: "All patients who had taken the antigen [pollen] for three years remained free from all allergy symptoms, no matter where they lived and regardless of diet. Control has been achieved in 100 percent of my earlier cases and the field is ever-expanding. Since oral feeding of pollen for this use was first perfected in his laboratory, astounding results were obtained. No ill consequences have resulted. Ninety-four percent of all his patients were completely free from allergy symptoms. Of the other six percent, not one followed directions, but even this small percentage were nonetheless partially relieved".
Relief of hay fever, pollen-induced asthma, with ever increasing control of bronchitis, ulcers of the digestive tract, colitis, migraine headaches, and urinary disorders were all totally successful. Unfortunately, Dr. Conway, an early pioneer in the field of allergies, is now deceased. What we did not know was just how lightning-fast it could bring relief. It actually eliminated long-standing symptoms in minutes. Everything from asthma to allergies to sinus problems cleared. These trials confirmed that bee pollen is wonderfully effective against a very wide range of respiratory distress.
Bee Products and Physical Activity
The British Sports Council recorded increases in strength of as high as 40 to 50 percent in those taking bee pollen regularly. Even more astounding, the British Royal Society has reported height increases in adults who take pollen. Antii Lananaki, coach of the Finnish track team that swept the Olympics in 1972, revealed, "Most of our athletes take pollen food supplements. Our studies show it significantly improves their performance. There have been no negative results since we have been supplying pollen to our athletes."
Alex Woodly, then executive director of the prestigious Education Athletic Club in Philadelphia, said, "Bee pollen works, and it works perfectly. Pollen allows super-stars to increase their strength and stamina up to 25 percent. This increase in strength and endurance may be the key to the secret regenerative power of bee pollen. Bee pollen causes a definite decrease in pulse rate. The whole beauty of bee pollen is that it's as natural as you can get. No chemicals. No steroids." Renowned German naturalist Francis Huber was a great proponent of this miraculous food from the hive. Huber called bee pollen "the greatest body builder on Earth."
Bee Pollen and Weight Control
Bee pollen works wonders in a weight-control or weight-stabilization regimen by correcting a possible chemical imbalance in body metabolism that may be involved in either abnormal weight gain or loss. The normalizing and stabilizing effects of this perfect food from the bees are phenomenal.
In weight-loss programs, bee pollen stimulates the metabolic processes. It speeds caloric burn by lighting and stoking the metabolic fires. Honeybee pollen is coming to be recognized as Nature's true weight-loss food. Bee pollen is a low-calorie food. It contains only ninety calories per ounce.

Aloe Vera and its natural health benefits
Aloe Vera - A Plant With a Long List of Nutritional and Health Benefits
Aloe Vera juice is one of the most vitamin and mineral packed nutrition drinks around. Natural aloe Vera juice contains 99.5% water, 18 amino acids, vitamins including vitamin B-1, vitamin B-2, vitamin C, niacinamide, vitamin B-6, choline, essential oil, calcium, chlorine, sodium, potassium, manganese, monosaccharides and polysaccharides including uronic acid, mannose and glucose. Aloe Vera also contains aloin (barbaloin), ethereal oil, isobarbaloin, emoding lucosides of d-Arabinose, emodin, resitannol, ester of cinnamic acid and cinnamic acid.
Some of the documented healing properties of Aloe include the following:
Helps suppress candida and microbial growth throughout the gastrointestinal tract, especially the mouth and upper GI, helping to prevent infections, pain and gas
Anti viral and antitumoral activities through activation of immune responses
Helpful in reducing urinary tract infections
Helps reduce sugar cravings

Benefits for cancer patients
Aloe is Great for Keeping the Skin Healthy
Aloe Vera is well known as a supreme skin care regimen. It can aid in keeping the skin supple, and is used in the control of acne and eczema. It has a moisturizing effect and is a common remedy for sunburn and skin irritation due to insect bites and allergies.
Aloe Plant Structure
Two "juices" may be extracted from the plant – a bitter yellow sap or "latex," and an opalescent internal gel. The yellow sap contains anthraquinones, chief among which is aloin. These substances are powerful laxatives which have been used for this purpose for several centuries. In the plant, this sap is contained in special tubules which form a portion of the nutrient tubes of the vascular bundles located just beneath the wax-covered, thick green rind of the leaf.
The gel, which constitutes the bulk of the leaf substance, serves a s the water storage organ for the plant. This gel, which may be removed as a semisolid “fillet” before processing, contains more than 200 different substances. Chief among these are polysaccharides (gluco-mannans), glycoproteins, vitamins, mineral and enzymes. Scientific evidence is accruing which documents several several activities that offer considerable promise when used in cosmetics and consumer pharmaceuticals.
Aloe Vera juice is one of the most vitamin and mineral packed nutrition drinks around. Natural aloe Vera juice contains 99.5% water, 18 amino acids, vitamins including vitamin B-1, vitamin B-2, vitamin C, niacinamide, vitamin B-6, choline, essential oil, calcium, chlorine, sodium, potassium, manganese, monosaccharides and polysaccharides including uronic acid, mannose and glucose. Aloe Vera also contains aloin (barbaloin), ethereal oil, isobarbaloin, emoding lucosides of d-Arabinose, emodin, resitannol, ester of cinnamic acid and cinnamic acid.
Some of the documented healing properties of Aloe include the following:
Helps suppress candida and microbial growth throughout the gastrointestinal tract, especially the mouth and upper GI, helping to prevent infections, pain and gas

Aloe is Great for Keeping the Skin Healthy
Aloe Vera is well known as a supreme skin care regimen. It can aid in keeping the skin supple, and is used in the control of acne and eczema. It has a moisturizing effect and is a common remedy for sunburn and skin irritation due to insect bites and allergies.
Aloe Plant Structure
Two "juices" may be extracted from the plant – a bitter yellow sap or "latex," and an opalescent internal gel. The yellow sap contains anthraquinones, chief among which is aloin. These substances are powerful laxatives which have been used for this purpose for several centuries. In the plant, this sap is contained in special tubules which form a portion of the nutrient tubes of the vascular bundles located just beneath the wax-covered, thick green rind of the leaf.
The gel, which constitutes the bulk of the leaf substance, serves a s the water storage organ for the plant. This gel, which may be removed as a semisolid “fillet” before processing, contains more than 200 different substances. Chief among these are polysaccharides (gluco-mannans), glycoproteins, vitamins, mineral and enzymes. Scientific evidence is accruing which documents several several activities that offer considerable promise when used in cosmetics and consumer pharmaceuticals.

Алоэ Вера и животные
НА ВАШИ ВОПРОСЫ ОТВЕЧАЕТ ДЭВИД УРХ (ЧЛЕН КОНСУЛЬТАТИВНОГО СОВЕТА ФЛП, КАНДИДАТ МЕДИЦИНСКИХ НАУК, ВЕТЕРИНАР)
В: Возможно ли принимать Алоэ вера при диабете?
О: Не смотря на то, что приём алоэ не специфичен для данного заболевания, я пришёл к выводу, что как на людей, так и на животных приём алоэ оказывает благотворное действие. В животном мире в основном собаки под вержены заболеванию диабетом. Из своей пра ктики могу посоветовать в течение шести недель включать 60-80 мг алоэ вера в ежедневный рацион питания больных собак. Это улучшает уровень глюкозы в крови, а в 20% случаев были снижены дозы инсулина. Но ещё раз хочу напомнить, что не следует самостоятельно изменять медикаментозное лечение, назначенное ветеринарным врачом.
В: Можно ли использовать алоэ при заболевании почек?
О: Обычно заболевание почек бывает у взрослых кошек. Это проявляется в том, что они пьют из непривычных мест - из купалок для птиц, луж и т. д. Они теряют в весе, страдают их зубы и горло, плохо пахнет изо рта, и они часто просят есть. Но когда Вы даете им еду, они чисто просят есть. Но когда Вы даете им еду, они не едят или едят совсем мало. Наряду с достаточно эффективными медикаментозными средствами я рекомендую давать кошкам 20 мл алоэ в день с едой или питьём. Можно также использовать и Нектар Алоэ. Так как кошки доволнотаки привередливы в еде, следует начинать с малых доз, постепенно доводя приём до 20 мл.
В: Подходитли алоэ вера старым животным?
О: Гель алоэ вера - отличная добавка к пище наших престарелых любимцев. Гель прекрасно стимулирует работу всех органов и повышает иммунитет животных. Я рекомендую следующие дозы:
Кошки 15-20 мл в день
Собаки 40-60 мл в день
Лошади 100-200 мл в день
С возрастом ухудшается работа желудочно-кишечного тракта, "пошаливают" почки и печень. Взрослому животному необходима хорошо сбалансированная питательная диета и большая защита от погодных условий. Не забывайте проверять их зубы и регулярно избавляйтесь от глистов.
В: Можно ли животным давать таблетки прополиса?
О: Да. Ведь прополис является одним из самых мощных природных противомикробных средств. Его можно давать как отдельно, так и в сочетании с антибиотиками, тогда их действие усиливается. При небольших инфекциях животному требуется достаточно большое количество прополиса, и, хотя приём прополиса не всегда прекращает процесс развития болезни, он часто уменьшает проявление клинических симптомов и время выздоровления. Однако, если Вы не наблюдаете у своего питомца улучшения, следует обратиться к ветеринару.
В: У моей кошки ушной клещ, могу ли я избавиться от них с помощью алоэ вера?
О: Алоэ вера не убивает клещей. Однако, в своей практике я использую алоэ при лечении ушных клещей. В первую очередь необходимо промыть уши небольшим количеством разбавленного водой Жидкого мыла алоэ. Таким образом, Вы можете удалить из уха выделения. Затем я капаю несколько капель Ветеринарной формулы, делаю лёгкий массаж и затем прочищаю ухо ватным тампоном. И наконец, я капаю несколько капель Желе алоэ и опять слегка массирую ухо. Такую процедуру следует проделывать два раза в день. При обильных выделениях из уха я только промываю его Жидким мылом. Если через три недели не наступило улучшения, следует обратиться к ветеринару.
Вопрос: Какие препараты подходят для животных?
Ответ: Практически все препараты, которые используются человеком, подходят и для животных. При внутренних расстройствах в своей практике я использую Гель Алоэ Вера. При лечении кожных расстройств поражённый участок я очищаю мылом или шампунем, затем использую Ветеринарную формулу (или Алоэ Фёрст) и обрабатываю его или Желе Алоэ Вера, или Кремом Алоэ с Прополисом.
Вопрос: Чго можно порекомендовать при аллергиях, вызванных 1 блохами, и дерматитах у кошек и собак?
Ответ: Следует обязательно устранить причину расстройства, а не только его симптомы. Поэтому необходимо использовать качественные препараты против блох, а экземные пятна можно обработать мылом или шампунем Алоэ, а затем наложить Желе Алоэ Вера. Желе следует накладывать два - четыре раза в день.
Вопрос: Можно ли использовать Алоэ Вера при ушных заболеваниях?
Ответ: Да. У кошек и собак бывают хронические, проявляющиеся в обострениях, заболевания ушей. Когда ветеринарным врачом поставлен диагноз - хронический отит, вы можете контролировать ситуацию, промывая ушные раковины Ветеринарной формулой (или Алоэ Фёрст), а затем смазывать уши Желе Алоэ два - четыре раза в день.
Вопрос: Можно ли использовать Алоэ Вера для поднятия аппетита?
Ответ: По моим наблюдениям, у всех исследованных видов животных аппетит восстанавливался через 48 часов.
Вопрос: У меня нет четкого понятия, какие дозы Геля Алоэ Вера следует давать животным?
Ответ: Я не удивлен, что Вы не можете разобраться в рекомендуемой дозировке, так как существует большое разнообразие видов животных, а кроме этого дозировка зависит от веса животного.
Однако существуют основные принципы, по которым можно рассчитать дозировку практически для всех животных. Сразу же надо сказать, что с Алоэ Вера не может быть передозировки. Я советую придерживаться моей рекомендации: начинать с небольшой дозы, а затем увеличивать ее в течение недели. Я предпочитаю давать Алоэ два-разегв день перед или во время кормления. Например, для обычной кошки достаточно одной чайной ложки два раза в день, и эта доза может быть увеличена до четырех ложек в день, Как только достигнут желаемый результат, количество потребляемых ложечек должно быть снижено до одной-двух в день, которые добавляются в корм или воду.
Вопрос: Какие препараты особенно хорошо использовать при язвах во рту?
Ответ: Хорошо промывать пасть Ветеринарной Формулой (или Алоэ Фёрст). Это помогает в больших количествах случаев. Вы также можете использовать Желе Алоэ Вера.
Вопрос: Что лучше всего использовать при ранах?
Ответ: Если рана не требует наложения швов, хорошее заживление может быть достигнуто, если первоначально промыть рану мылом или шампунем Алоэ, затем побрызгать на неё Ветеринарной Формулой (или Алоэ Фёрст) и обработать рану Желе Алоэ Вера. При такой обработке большинство ран заживает на 35% быстрее, чем при лечении обычными препаратами.
Вопрос: Может ли использоваться Алоэ Вера при заболеваниях пернатых?
Ответ: Да. У пернатых есть некоторые заболевания, которые хорошо реагируют на использование Алоэ Вера. Что же касается других животных, то особенно эффективно использование Алоэ Вера при кожных, желудочно-кишечных и респираторных заболеваниях, оно также хорошо укрепляет иммунную систему. Как Гель, так и Желе давали хорошие результаты.
В: Возможно ли принимать Алоэ вера при диабете?

О КРОВЯНОМ ДАВЛЕНИИ, ДИАБЕТЕ И ДРУГИХ ЗАБОЛЕВАНИЯХ
Практический лечебник
из серии "Резервы здоровья" автор: Н. Семенова.
"Нам приходится выслушивать множество историй о том, почему люди начинают пить сок алоэ, и одна из причин, о которой упоминается довольно часто,- это высокое кровяное давление,- рассказывает терапевт районной больницы Татьяна К.- Часто говорят примерно следующее: у меня высокое кровяное давление, но с тех пор, как я начал пить сок алоэ, доктор значительно снизил количество рекомендованных мне лекарств". Петр А. много лет страдал от гипертонии и уже всерьез начал думать о том, что ему придется оставить интересную работу в крупной маркетинговой компании. "Я постоянно сидел на лекарствах, но они вызывали у меня сонливость и вялость. Кто-то из моих сотрудников рассказал мне о том, что сок алоэ понижает высокое давление. Я начал пить что-то около тридцати граммов сока в день и постепенно довел эту дозу до ста пятидесяти граммов ежедневно. За короткий период времени мое давление стало абсолютно нормальным. Вот уже десять лет оно держится на отметке 120/80 мм ртутного столба, но стоит мне прекратить пить алоэ, и оно мгновенно подскакивает до 150/100".
Владимир Г. страдал диабетом. Он утверждает, что сок алоэ помог ему вернуться к жизни, свободной от инсулина: "На это ушло около девяти месяцев, но мне ни разу не приходилось прибегать к инсулину в течение всех последних лет. Один из моих знакомых тоже перестал принимать инсулин после того, как по моему примеру с год пил сок алоэ".
Екатерине А. сок алоэ помог не только вылечить диабет, но и избавиться от бремени других болезней. "Я перенесла два инфаркта: у меня был острый бронхит, подагра, уремическое отравление и камни в почках. Мне делали инъекции кортизона от артрита и бусита,- перечисляет она.- Ко дню рождения, когда мне исполнилось пятьдесят восемь лет, мой брат прислал в подарок сок алоэ. Через три месяца я перестала принимать инсулин, а подагру, камни в почках и артрит как рукой сняло".
Тамара П. из Омска говорит, что она страдала от тромбоза (воспалительного процесса в венах на ногах) и у нее то и дело возникали кровяные тромбы. После того как она начала регулярно употреблять сок алоэ, все проблемы у нее исчезли.
Невропатолог Карина Д. вспоминает историю женщины из пригорода Сайкт-Петербурга, у которой был множественный склероз. Передвигалась она только на костылях. "Однажды она купила немного желе алоэ и начала его пить. Через месяц она пришла без костылей,- рассказывает Карина.- Напиток алоэ снял боль и воспаление в суставах моей пациентки. А ведь прежде она не могла передвигаться самостоятельно, так как каждое движение отзывалось острой болью".
Мария У. из Саратова считает, что ее организм избавился от опухолей только благодаря переходу на вегетарианскую диету с ежедневным употреблением сока алоэ в качестве тонизирующей поддержки. "Я была очень больна, и доктора настаивали на ампутации ноги, но я ни за что не соглашалась,- рассказывает она.- Я перешла на диету и начала читать все, что только могла найти о своем заболевании. Случайно узнав о чудодейственной силе алоэ, я начала ежедневно пить его сок, и кривая моего здоровья, резко сменив курс на противоположный, неотвратимо поползла вверх. Плюс к этому я употребляла сбалансированные количества аминокислот, углеводов и белка. Мое тело освободилось от опухолей, и я сохранила ногу. В течение года мне еще приходилось пользоваться костылями и поручнями, но теперь я снова хожу!"
К сожалению, в наш безумный век многие люди страдают от наркотической и алкогольной зависимости. Некоторые из них, желая победить болезнь, находят в себе силы обратиться в специализированные лечебные центры. Заинтересовавшись возможностями алоэ, врачи наркологического диспансера в Познани (Польша) решили провести своеобразный эксперимент. Группе пациентов назначили препараты цветочной пыльцы, богатой аминокислотами, витаминами, белками. Кроме того, они ежедневно пили сок алоэ. В отчете об эксперименте говорилось, что алоэ использовалось для очищения организма от шлаков и токсинов. Остальные продукты способствовали улучшению обмена веществ, служили для дополнительной подпитки организма, увеличения энергии и тонуса, а также как вспомогательные "кирпичики" для перестройки деятельности иммунной системы. Результаты эксперимента показали, что реабилитационный процесс у тех, кого лечили соком алоэ и цветочной пыльцой, прошел значительно быстрей.
Традиционная сфера применения алоэ - лечение простудных заболеваний. Алоэ назначают больным туберкулезом, бронхитом, трахеитом. Настойка из алоэ смягчает кашель, сок алоэ закапывают в нос при острых и хронических ринитах, а также при отитах.

Whole Leaf Aloe Vera A Holistic Protocol For The Immune System
Excerpts By Scott J. Gregory
O.M.D. Fifth Edition
Aloe Vera
For over five thousand years, folk medicine has celebrated the juice of the Aloe vera plant for its unique healing properties. Only recently, however, has modern medicine begun to unlock the deeper secrets of Aloe and to place the “miracle plant” under laboratory scrutiny. The Aloe plant is a succulent, consisting of thick green leaves with a gelatinous substance inside. Aloe juice, properly processed, contains a wide variety of healing constituents. The principal attributes are: antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral.
Aloe Vera - Antiseptic
The Aloe Vera plant produces six antiseptic agents: Lupeol, a natural salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamic acid, phenol, and sulfur all demonstrate anti-microbial effects. Lupeol and salicylic acid also have analgesic effects.
Aloe Vera - Anti-Inflammatory
Aloe contains three plant sterols, which are important fatty acids-HCL cholesterol (which lowers fats in the blood), campesterol, and B-sitosterol. All are helpful in reducing symptoms of allergies and acid indigestion. These compounds also aid in arthritis, rheumatic fever, both internal and external ulcers, and inflammation of the digestive system. The stomach, small intestine, liver, kidneys, and pancreas can all benefit from these anti-inflammatory effects.
Aloe Vera - Anti-Viral, Anti-Bacterial
Recent research has suggested some exciting new possibilities. Aloe not only provides vigorous overall immune system support, but aids directly in the destruction of intravascular bacteria. The reason is Aloe’s unique polysaccharide component. The body’s natural “complement system” a critical defense system involving a series of proteins only needs to be activated in order to attack bacteria. It is the polysaccharides that trigger these proteins in a sequence called the “cascade phenomenon” to take on a doughnut shape and insert themselves into the surface membranes of bacteria. Through this action they literally create holes in the bacteria, exposing the pathogens’ interior to surrounding fluids, causing their death.
Aloe Vera - Effects in HIV and AIDS
In an article in the Medical World News, December 1987 issue, titled “Aloe Drug May Mimic AZT without Toxicity,” Dr. H. Reginald McDaniel stated, “A substance in the Aloe plant shows preliminary signs of boosting AIDS patients’ immune systems and blocking the human immune-deficiency virus’ spread without toxic side effects.”
In the summer of 1989, internationally recognized AIDS expert Terry L. Pulse, M.D., conducted a systematic study of a unique nutritional regimen combining the use of an Aloe vera drink with a supplementation powder and fatty acid capsules. The objective was to determine if this nutritional regimen would help to restore the patients immune systems and increase their ability to fight current and future infections.
Twenty-eight patients remained with the study through its 180-day period. Whereas initial rating showed 16 patients classified with full-blown AIDS, at 180 days all 16 had improved so dramatically that none could any longer be placed in that category. Additionally, two were accorded a MWR (Modified Walter Reed scale) classification of 0 - or HIV negative - at the end of the study. Subsequently, an additional five patients achieved a 0 rating on the MWR scale.
Dr. Pulse’s and Dr. McDaniel’s studies, though preliminary, became the catalyst for rapidly-expanding interest in the anti-viral and immune-enhancing potential of Aloe.
A unique feature of the polysaccharides or long-chain carbohydrates in Aloe is their remarkable ability to pass through the stomach and digestive tract and into the circulatory system without being broken down by stomach acid or digestive enzymes. By a process called endocytosis, they are taken up into the cells of the intestinal lining intact and extruded into the circulatory system, where they are able to fulfill their immune-supporting functions.
Whole-Leaf Aloe Concentrate
In the past decade the marketplace has been flooded with Aloe drinks, and almost all of these have been flooded with water. In fact, many are, so dilute as to be of almost no benefit. Recent years, however, have seen the promising development of new technologies enabling the best processors not only to produce stable concentrates of Aloe, but to utilize the whole leaf. It is now known that the polysaccharides are concentrated close to the rind, where these sugars are produced, though these layers were previously discarded due to the presence of undesirable Aloe resins, aloin or Aloe emodin. But now, state-of-the-art filtering technologies permit the removal of these highly purgative components without significantly reducing the healing agents of Aloe.
Within the rapidly-growing field of Aloe research, no one has done more than Dr. Ivan Danhof, M.D., Ph.D. Recognized as one of the world’s top experts on Aloe, Dr. Danhof has helped to pioneer critical work aimed at isolating Aloe’s healing agents and developing the most favorable processing and stabilizing techniques. Importantly, these new techniques use only limited heat (called “cool processing”).

The Aloe plant is a succulent, consisting of thick green leaves with a gelatinous substance inside. Aloe juice, properly processed, contains a wide variety of healing constituents. The principal attributes are: antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral.
Aloe Vera - Antiseptic
The Aloe Vera plant produces six antiseptic agents: Lupeol, a natural salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamic acid, phenol, and sulfur all demonstrate anti-microbial effects. Lupeol and salicylic acid also have analgesic effects.
Aloe Vera - Anti-Inflammatory
Aloe contains three plant sterols, which are important fatty acids-HCL cholesterol (which lowers fats in the blood), campesterol, and B-sitosterol. All are helpful in reducing symptoms of allergies and acid indigestion. These compounds also aid in arthritis, rheumatic fever, both internal and external ulcers, and inflammation of the digestive system. The stomach, small intestine, liver, kidneys, and pancreas can all benefit from these anti-inflammatory effects.
Aloe Vera - Anti-Viral, Anti-Bacterial
Recent research has suggested some exciting new possibilities. Aloe not only provides vigorous overall immune system support, but aids directly in the destruction of intravascular bacteria. The reason is Aloe’s unique polysaccharide component. The body’s natural “complement system” a critical defense system involving a series of proteins only needs to be activated in order to attack bacteria. It is the polysaccharides that trigger these proteins in a sequence called the “cascade phenomenon” to take on a doughnut shape and insert themselves into the surface membranes of bacteria. Through this action they literally create holes in the bacteria, exposing the pathogens’ interior to surrounding fluids, causing their death.
Aloe Vera - Effects in HIV and AIDS
In an article in the Medical World News, December 1987 issue, titled “Aloe Drug May Mimic AZT without Toxicity,” Dr. H. Reginald McDaniel stated, “A substance in the Aloe plant shows preliminary signs of boosting AIDS patients’ immune systems and blocking the human immune-deficiency virus’ spread without toxic side effects.”
In the summer of 1989, internationally recognized AIDS expert Terry L. Pulse, M.D., conducted a systematic study of a unique nutritional regimen combining the use of an Aloe vera drink with a supplementation powder and fatty acid capsules. The objective was to determine if this nutritional regimen would help to restore the patients immune systems and increase their ability to fight current and future infections.
Twenty-eight patients remained with the study through its 180-day period. Whereas initial rating showed 16 patients classified with full-blown AIDS, at 180 days all 16 had improved so dramatically that none could any longer be placed in that category. Additionally, two were accorded a MWR (Modified Walter Reed scale) classification of 0 - or HIV negative - at the end of the study. Subsequently, an additional five patients achieved a 0 rating on the MWR scale.
Dr. Pulse’s and Dr. McDaniel’s studies, though preliminary, became the catalyst for rapidly-expanding interest in the anti-viral and immune-enhancing potential of Aloe.
A unique feature of the polysaccharides or long-chain carbohydrates in Aloe is their remarkable ability to pass through the stomach and digestive tract and into the circulatory system without being broken down by stomach acid or digestive enzymes. By a process called endocytosis, they are taken up into the cells of the intestinal lining intact and extruded into the circulatory system, where they are able to fulfill their immune-supporting functions.
Whole-Leaf Aloe Concentrate
In the past decade the marketplace has been flooded with Aloe drinks, and almost all of these have been flooded with water. In fact, many are, so dilute as to be of almost no benefit. Recent years, however, have seen the promising development of new technologies enabling the best processors not only to produce stable concentrates of Aloe, but to utilize the whole leaf. It is now known that the polysaccharides are concentrated close to the rind, where these sugars are produced, though these layers were previously discarded due to the presence of undesirable Aloe resins, aloin or Aloe emodin. But now, state-of-the-art filtering technologies permit the removal of these highly purgative components without significantly reducing the healing agents of Aloe.
Within the rapidly-growing field of Aloe research, no one has done more than Dr. Ivan Danhof, M.D., Ph.D. Recognized as one of the world’s top experts on Aloe, Dr. Danhof has helped to pioneer critical work aimed at isolating Aloe’s healing agents and developing the most favorable processing and stabilizing techniques. Importantly, these new techniques use only limited heat (called “cool processing”).

Форевер заботится о здоровье мужчин
Познакомьтесь с продуктом - ФОРЕВЕР ПРОСТ-6, разработанным компанией Форевер Ливинг Продактс специально для мужчин!
Эта эффективная биологически активная добавка обладает универсальным действием на мужской организм: регулирует гормональный баланс, снижает воспалительные процессы при заболеваниях предстательной железы, является профилактическим средством против аденомы простаты и помогает сохранить полноценную репродуктивную функцию на долгие годы.
Статистика показывает, что у 50% мужчин старше 40 лет отмечается нарушение функции предстательной железы, а к 65 годам большинство мужчин имеют то или иное заболевание этого органа. Чтобы изменить эту статистику необходима активная профилактическая помощь мужчинам, которую может оказать ФОРЕВЕР ПРОСТ- 6.
Что же делает данный продукт столь полезным для здоровья мужчин? В его состав входят экстракты растений: плодов карликовой пальмы и томатов, семян сафлоры и коры африканской сливы. Эти растения хорошо зарекомендовали себя в клинике при лечении заболеваний простаты. Кроме того, ФОРЕВЕР ПРОСТ- 6 содержит мощные антиоксиданты и противоопухолевые компоненты, такие как ликопин, витамин Е и селен.
Мякоть плода карликовой пальмы (Saw Palmetto) используется в качестве тоника с 19 века и сегодня экстракт этого растения широко применяется при инфекциях мочевыводящих путей и заболеваниях простаты, так как обладает мочегонным действием и является противовоспалительным, антиспазматическим и общеукрепляющим средством. Установлено, что некоторые ингредиенты карликовой пальмы уменьшают гиперплазию (увеличение) простаты. оказывают успокаивающее и обезболивающее действие. Высокое содержание витамина А обеспечивает стимуляцию половой системы.
Французскими медиками, ещё в 60-х годах прошлого столетия, было показано, что экстракт коры африканской сливы (Pygeum africanum) эффективен при лечении аденомы простаты. Активные компоненты, такие как доказанол, восстанавливают гормональный баланс мужского организма и уменьшают опухолевый рост простаты; тритерпеноиды и фитостеролы нормализуют работу мочевыделительной системы; танины оказывают противовоспалительное действие.
Бета-ситостирол из семян сафлоры предотвращает синтез простагландинов в простате, уменьшая застой крови, отек и воспаление, а также боли при мочеиспускании. Кроме того, бета-ситостирол регулирует уровень холестерина.
Ликопин - пигмент, который придает помидору красный цвет и относится к каротиноидам, получают, в основном, из кожуры помидор. Исследования, проведенные учеными Детройтского онкологического центра в США, показали, что при увеличении количества ликопина в пище онкологических больных темпы роста раковых клеток значительно уменьшаются.
Селен не только нужен для синтеза многих важных белков и ферментов нашего организма, но он также обладает сильным противоопухолевым действием. Установлено, что селен обеспечивает защиту и подвижность сперматозоидов, служит активным помощником витамину Е - мощному антиоксиданту. Следует помнить, что селен не следует принимать взрослым более 70 мкг в сутки без рекомендации врача.
Наша комплексная добавка ФОРЕВЕР ПРОСТ-6 в количестве 3-х таблеток в день обеспечивает рекомендованную суточную норму потребления селена и витамина Е. Важно, что все компоненты ФОРЕВЕР ПРОСТ-6 подобраны так, что они способны усиливать благотворное действие друг друга на мужской организм.
Не откладывайте "в долгий ящик" знакомство с ФОРЕВЕР ПРОСТ-6 и поддержите здоровье наших дорогих мужчин! Помните, что профилактика заболеваний - это залог полноценного долголетия. Будьте здоровы!

The Big 5 by Dr. Torres
During my first encounter with Forever Living Products (FLP), I was close-minded--to believe in the company, more so, to try and believe in its products--because the whole idea of it seemed to be against the usual practice of medicine. But through the sheer persistence and patience of my son, who was the first to get involved with the company, I just woke up one day, personally patronizing Forever Living Products, gaining positive results from the testimonies of friends and relatives, and in quite a number of cases, together with conventional medicine, speed recovery and provide some cure to many of my patients. I have been incorporating FLP with my medical practice, and having done so for quite some time, I have come up with this FLP combination, which proved to help people with heart and heart-related problems, stroke, diabetes, general weaknesses, and even those who are healthy to be healthier, providing some degree of prevention from developing any inherited or predisposing factors of hand-down diseases."
- Dr. Ludgerio D. Torres, Director, Philippine Heart Center
(1) Aloe Vera Gel
100% Stabilized Aloe Vera Gel; made from pure extract of Aloe Vera plant; contains over 200 ingredients including 20 essential minerals, 8 essential amino acids (so-called because they are not produced by the body), 11 of the 14 secondary amino acids, vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, E) which are also not manufactured in the body. For the most part, many cannot be stored in the body, so it is necessary to have a continuous source of these elements. According to studies, Aloe Vera contains SAPONINS (cleansing and disinfecting property), LIGNIN (deep penetrating property), ANTHRAQUINONE COMPLEX (antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, analgesic/steriod-like effect without the side effects, anti-inflammatory, anti-parasitic), ENZYMES and MONO & POLYSACCHARIDES (acting as biological vehicle and treatment possibility).
Dr. Torres' Recommended Daily Intake: 20mL or about 1/4 cup, three times a day, preferably on an empty stomach. For people with medical conditions, it's better to consult with your physician before taking this product.
(2) Arctic Sea
Arctic Sea contains these essential fatty acids:
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) - prevents "sticky blood" thus reducing the risk of a blood clot. Lowers the levels of blood fats called triglycerides, which are associated EPA
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) - important part of the cells in the retina of the eyes. They play a significant role in the development of baby's visual acuity (sharpness of vision). DHA forms the key building blocks of the human brain tissue. They are important for the brain's normal growth and development, particularly in the last three months of pregnancy where the brain is at its rapid growth. DHA also plays a key role in the healthy development of the central nervous system and the maintenance of healthy cells for eye, brain, and neural development. DHA also improves behavior and emotional stamina.
Arctic Sea protects us against heart disease in the following ways:
By lowering the levels of LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) which are responsible for the sticking of bad cholesterol in the artery walls, while increasing HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein), which prevents cholesterol deposits on artery walls.
By lowering triglyceride levels.
By making platelets, the cells involved in coagulation or clotting, less sticky, thus preventing the clotting that can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
By making red blood cells less rigid and more flexible in the bloodstream, improving circulation.
Foods that are rich in bad cholesterol: Those that are high in saturated fats, basically meat from four-legged animals (pork, beef, etc.), egg yolk, balut, dairy products that are solid at room temperature (butter, margarine, etc.), cooking oil made from saturated fats, lard, crab paste (aligue), chicken skin, etc.
Foods that are rich in good cholesterol: Omega 3 in Arctic Sea, which is also found in tuna, salmon, mackerel, meat from swimming and flying animals (chicken, fowl, fish, etc.), olive oil, canola oil, corn oil, avocado, bangus or milk fish belly
Dr. Torres' Recommended Daily Intake: One (1) softgel capsule, three (3) times a day, after each meal. For people with medical conditions, it's better to consult with your physician before taking this product.
(3) Gingko Plus
Thought to be the oldest living tree specie. Scientifically proclaimed to trace its origins some 230 million years back. The tree is so hardy that one survived the atomic blast that destroyed Hiroshima. Gingko Biloba extract is world-renowned for helping the brain function better for increased memory and improved mental acuity. It earned the German BGA (Bundes-Gesundheit Amt), which is the equivalent of the America's FDA. It was developed along with Dr. Albert Leung, one of the world's leaders in herbal supplements, to help supply the brain with what it needs to function at its peak.
Gingko Biloba Leaf Extract, considered by many to be the ultimate brain tonic for its ability to enhance circulation in the brain. Plus, three Chinese herbs revered for their benefits: REISHI, otherwise known as Ganoderma Lucidum, which is gathered from the forest and has been used extensively in China as a general tonic for improved memory. It increases longevity, helping in the problems of senility. Also found beneficial in allergies, lupus, systemic llupus, hypertension, and blockage in the arteries. It protects the liver from damage, and also provides a feeling of relaxation, thus good for insomniacs. SCHISANDRA BERRIES, long used in China as a well-known tonic for a variety of uses, and the benefits of its anti-oxidant properties. It also aids in restoring and retaining energy. It's a tranquilizer and stimulates the immune system as well. CURED FO-TI, regarded by the Chinese as one of the best anti-aging herbs, has beneficial effects in preventing premature aging and promoting long life. Cured Fo-ti is considered far superior than its raw counterpart.
By combining these unique herbal components together in a synergistic formulation, FLP gives you the benefits of a natural "food for thought" like no other.
Gingko Plus beneficial ingredients can also be divided into the following:
Flavonoids - effective antioxidants that help fight damage caused by free radicals
Terapens - act as anti-coagulants, helping the blood flow better and the brain to recover quickly and more completely from damage due to lack of oxygen; also protect the nerve cells from damage or stroke; anti-stress and anti-anxiety effects
Dr. Torres' Recommended Daily Intake: One (1) tablet, three (3) times a day. For people with medical conditions, it's better to consult with your physician before taking this product.
(4) Garlic-Thyme
Garlic is an immune booster and a natural antibiotic. It controls hypertension, elevated bad cholesterol, and the like. It was named Russian Penicillin because of its widespread use in the Soviet Union, and from the famous Pavlov Institute, which proved garlic to be effective against bacteria, with no negative side effects. Research shows that garlic is totally selective in its bacteria destruction, only killing those bacteria that are harmful to our body. Amazingly, at the same time, garlic can actually enhance our good bacteria and improve our intestinal flora and digestion. Hundreds of studies suggest that garlic greatly enhances the power of the immune system to fight infectious diseases. According to British Medical Journal, the Lancet-Garlic does definitely lower blood pressure, citing studies done in Russia and Bulgaria. Japanese scientists reveal that fresh garlic completely wipes out breast cancers in mice, and has been known to be effective in warding off bladder cancers in animals.
Ingredients
Allicin - a powerful antibiotic
Ajoene - a compound that impedes the formation of blood clots in arteries, thus helps in preventing stroke.
When taken with Thyme, garlic multiplies its antibiotic properties and makes it more digestible and easily assimilated. Thyme is also known for its antiseptic, fungicidal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Garlic-Thyme brings these benefits without the strong odor of raw garlic.
Warning: Should not be taken by people who are to undergo operation (at least a week before the operation) as the Ajoene in it makes the blood thinner, impeding blood clotting.
Dr. Torres' Recommended Daily Intake: One (1) softgel capsule, three (3) times a day, before or after meals. You may increase the intake as the need arises. For people with medical conditions, it's better to consult with your physician before taking this product.
(5) Fields of Greens
We know how difficult it is for us to obtain adequate green veggies in our diets. Vegetables are critical in the prevention of many major illnesses, such as cancer and heart diseases, and in maintaining optimum wellness. Fields of Greens was developed by FLP together with Charles Robson, who is one of the Advisory Board Members of the FLP International Head Office.
Alfalfa is one of the riches mineral foods, with its roots growing deeply into the earth (as much as 130 feet below the surface), where the minerals still abound, far beneath the depleted topsoil. It is very high in life-giving Chlorophyll, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, and Vitamins A, B Complex, C, D, E, K, U, Biotin, Choline, Iron, Protein Tryptophan. Midwives have long prescribed alfalfa as a supplement during pregnancy because of its high mineral content. It virtually eliminates morning sickness, which is largely a symptom of mineral depletion.
Young Green Barley is high in Calcium, Iron, the 8 essential amino acids, Vitamin C, Flavonoids, Vitamin B12, minerals, and enzymes. Helps in healing intestinal and duodenal disorders, acting as an anti-inflammatory as well.
Wheatgrass is a rich nutritional food that has also been widely proclaimed as a cure all, which is extremely high in a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Dr. Ann Wigmore, the first doctor to really latch on to young wheat's value as curative, claims that "it contains the highest variety of nutrients and that 15lbs. of fresh wheatgrass is equal to 350lbs. of the choicest vegetables." The molecular structure of wheatgrass closely resembles hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein of red blood cells, and may be the reason for the effectiveness of chlorophyll. The only difference between the two is that the metallic atom in a molecule of a human blood is Iron, while the metallic atom of chlorophyll is Magnesium, making it beneficial to people suffering from anemia.
Cayenne Pepper is a catalyst for the above-mentioned herbs. It improves circulation, aids in digestion, stops bleeding from stomach ulcers. It contains Vitamins A, B complex, and C. It controls the functioning of the kidneys, pancreas, spleen, lungs, and heart.
Dr. Torres' Recommended Daily Intake: One (1) tablet, three (3) times a day. For people with medical conditions, it's better to consult with your physician before taking this product.

It was developed along with Dr. Albert Leung, one of the world's leaders in herbal supplements, to help supply the brain with what it needs to function at its peak.
Gingko Biloba Leaf Extract, considered by many to be the ultimate brain tonic for its ability to enhance circulation in the brain. Plus, three Chinese herbs revered for their benefits: REISHI, otherwise known as Ganoderma Lucidum, which is gathered from the forest and has been used extensively in China as a general tonic for improved memory. It increases longevity, helping in the problems of senility. Also found beneficial in allergies, lupus, systemic llupus, hypertension, and blockage in the arteries. It protects the liver from damage, and also provides a feeling of relaxation, thus good for insomniacs. SCHISANDRA BERRIES, long used in China as a well-known tonic for a variety of uses, and the benefits of its anti-oxidant properties. It also aids in restoring and retaining energy. It's a tranquilizer and stimulates the immune system as well. CURED FO-TI, regarded by the Chinese as one of the best anti-aging herbs, has beneficial effects in preventing premature aging and promoting long life. Cured Fo-ti is considered far superior than its raw counterpart.
By combining these unique herbal components together in a synergistic formulation, FLP gives you the benefits of a natural "food for thought" like no other.
Gingko Plus beneficial ingredients can also be divided into the following:
Flavonoids - effective antioxidants that help fight damage caused by free radicals
Terapens - act as anti-coagulants, helping the blood flow better and the brain to recover quickly and more completely from damage due to lack of oxygen; also protect the nerve cells from damage or stroke; anti-stress and anti-anxiety effects
Dr. Torres' Recommended Daily Intake: One (1) tablet, three (3) times a day. For people with medical conditions, it's better to consult with your physician before taking this product.
(4) Garlic-Thyme
Garlic is an immune booster and a natural antibiotic. It controls hypertension, elevated bad cholesterol, and the like. It was named Russian Penicillin because of its widespread use in the Soviet Union, and from the famous Pavlov Institute, which proved garlic to be effective against bacteria, with no negative side effects. Research shows that garlic is totally selective in its bacteria destruction, only killing those bacteria that are harmful to our body. Amazingly, at the same time, garlic can actually enhance our good bacteria and improve our intestinal flora and digestion. Hundreds of studies suggest that garlic greatly enhances the power of the immune system to fight infectious diseases. According to British Medical Journal, the Lancet-Garlic does definitely lower blood pressure, citing studies done in Russia and Bulgaria. Japanese scientists reveal that fresh garlic completely wipes out breast cancers in mice, and has been known to be effective in warding off bladder cancers in animals.
Ingredients
Allicin - a powerful antibiotic
Ajoene - a compound that impedes the formation of blood clots in arteries, thus helps in preventing stroke.
When taken with Thyme, garlic multiplies its antibiotic properties and makes it more digestible and easily assimilated. Thyme is also known for its antiseptic, fungicidal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Garlic-Thyme brings these benefits without the strong odor of raw garlic.
Warning: Should not be taken by people who are to undergo operation (at least a week before the operation) as the Ajoene in it makes the blood thinner, impeding blood clotting.
Dr. Torres' Recommended Daily Intake: One (1) softgel capsule, three (3) times a day, before or after meals. You may increase the intake as the need arises. For people with medical conditions, it's better to consult with your physician before taking this product.
(5) Fields of Greens
We know how difficult it is for us to obtain adequate green veggies in our diets. Vegetables are critical in the prevention of many major illnesses, such as cancer and heart diseases, and in maintaining optimum wellness. Fields of Greens was developed by FLP together with Charles Robson, who is one of the Advisory Board Members of the FLP International Head Office.
Alfalfa is one of the riches mineral foods, with its roots growing deeply into the earth (as much as 130 feet below the surface), where the minerals still abound, far beneath the depleted topsoil. It is very high in life-giving Chlorophyll, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, and Vitamins A, B Complex, C, D, E, K, U, Biotin, Choline, Iron, Protein Tryptophan. Midwives have long prescribed alfalfa as a supplement during pregnancy because of its high mineral content. It virtually eliminates morning sickness, which is largely a symptom of mineral depletion.
Young Green Barley is high in Calcium, Iron, the 8 essential amino acids, Vitamin C, Flavonoids, Vitamin B12, minerals, and enzymes. Helps in healing intestinal and duodenal disorders, acting as an anti-inflammatory as well.
Wheatgrass is a rich nutritional food that has also been widely proclaimed as a cure all, which is extremely high in a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Dr. Ann Wigmore, the first doctor to really latch on to young wheat's value as curative, claims that "it contains the highest variety of nutrients and that 15lbs. of fresh wheatgrass is equal to 350lbs. of the choicest vegetables." The molecular structure of wheatgrass closely resembles hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein of red blood cells, and may be the reason for the effectiveness of chlorophyll. The only difference between the two is that the metallic atom in a molecule of a human blood is Iron, while the metallic atom of chlorophyll is Magnesium, making it beneficial to people suffering from anemia.
Cayenne Pepper is a catalyst for the above-mentioned herbs. It improves circulation, aids in digestion, stops bleeding from stomach ulcers. It contains Vitamins A, B complex, and C. It controls the functioning of the kidneys, pancreas, spleen, lungs, and heart.
Dr. Torres' Recommended Daily Intake: One (1) tablet, three (3) times a day. For people with medical conditions, it's better to consult with your physician before taking this product.

Treat Eczema Skin Symptoms With Aloe Vera
By Evelyn Lim.
If you need to treat your eczema skin symptoms, you can consider using the Aloe Vera plant for help. Eczema skin symptoms are typically dry, red, itchy and inflammed. Perhaps you have tried the conventional medication such as moisturisers and steroid creams, but you have found results unsatisfactory. If you or your child have not gotten much relief, try treating your eczema skin symptoms with Aloe Vera.
You can consume Aloe Vera as a nutritional health drink, or you can apply it topically. As far as possible, you should use Aloe fresh from the plant, but remember it oxidises quickly upon exposure to air. If you get a mature plant, cut a leaf, slice it lengthwise, and apply the gel directly. Otherwise, cut the gel into pieces and cook it with rock sugar for a drink. If you cannot get Aloe fresh but only as a product, then be sure to get one that is as close to the natural plant as possible. After all, it is in your best interest to use quality ingredients to apply for relief of your eczema skin symptoms.
If you apply Aloe topically, the fluids in Aloe Vera form a thin film on the surface of your skin. These gum resins have hydrating thus moisturising, as well as antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Aloe Vera has the ability to penetrate to the inner layers of the skin, supplying moisture directly to the underlying tissue.
Dr. Peter Atherton, one of the leading authorities on Aloe Vera in the UK, conducted a study which revealed that Aloe Vera works mainly on two areas, on repairing epithelial tissue and on boosting the immune system. The skin, the largest organ in the body, is also the largest patch of epithelial tissue. It is thus easy to understand why Aloe Vera hastens healing of burns and provides relief of eczema skin symptoms, as well as mouth or stomach ulcers, or a problematic bowel lining; all of which are epithelial tissues.
Aloe vera also has complex sugars, or polysaccharides, that moisturise and hydrate the skin. It is quickly absorbed into the skin, triggering fibroblasts to replicate faster. Fibroblasts produce the collagen and elastin fibres providing greater elasticity and tautness to skin. It also helps to produce a cohesive effect on the top-layer epidermal cells, making skin smoother.
Many eczema sufferers also experienced improved skin quality with the use of Aloe Vera. They reported that their eczema skin symptoms reduced, with smoother and softer skin. It is no wonder that skin care companies often include Aloe as an ingredient in their products.

Aloe vera: A short review
Surjushe A, Vasani R, Saple DG. Aloe vera: A short review. Indian J Dermatol [serial online] 2008 [cited 2009 Sep 4];53:163-6. Available from: http://www.e-ijd.org/text.asp?2008/53/4/163/44785
The Aloe vera plant has been known and used for centuries for its health, beauty, medicinal and skin care properties. The name Aloe vera derives from the Arabic word "Alloeh" meaning "shining bitter substance," while "vera" in Latin means "true." 2000 years ago, the Greek scientists regarded Aloe vera as the universal panacea. The Egyptians called Aloe "the plant of immortality." Today, the Aloe vera plant has been used for various purposes in dermatology.
History
Aloe vera has been used for medicinal purposes in several cultures for millennia: Greece, Egypt, India, Mexico, Japan and China. [1] Egyptian queens Nefertiti and Cleopatra used it as part of their regular beauty regimes. Alexander the Great, and Christopher Columbus used it to treat soldiers' wounds. The first reference to Aloe vera in English was a translation by John Goodyew in A.D. 1655 of Dioscorides' Medical treatise De Materia Medica. [2] By the early 1800s, Aloe vera was in use as a laxative in the United States, but in the mid-1930s, a turning point occurred when it was successfully used to treat chronic and severe radiation dermatitis. [2]
Plant
The botanical name of Aloe vera is Aloe barbadensis miller . It belongs to Asphodelaceae (Liliaceae) family, and is a shrubby or arborescent, perennial, xerophytic, succulent, pea- green color plant. It grows mainly in the dry regions of Africa, Asia, Europe and America. In India, it is found in Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.
Anatomy
The plant has triangular, fleshy leaves with serrated edges, yellow tubular flowers and fruits that contain numerous seeds. Each leaf is composed of three layers: 1) An inner clear gel that contains 99% water and rest is made of glucomannans, amino acids, lipids, sterols and vitamins. 2) The middle layer of latex which is the bitter yellow sap and contains anthraquinones and glycosides. 3) The outer thick layer of 15-20 cells called as rind which has protective function and synthesizes carbohydrates and proteins. Inside the rind are vascular bundles responsible for transportation of substances such as water (xylem) and starch (phloem). [3]
Active components with its properties: Aloe vera contains 75 potentially active constituents: vitamins, enzymes, minerals, sugars, lignin, saponins, salicylic acids and amino acids. [4],[5],[6]
1. Vitamins : It contains vitamins A (beta-carotene), C and E, which are antioxidants. It also contains vitamin B12, folic acid, and choline. Antioxidant neutralizes free radicals.
2. Enzymes : It contains 8 enzymes: aliiase, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, bradykinase, carboxypeptidase, catalase, cellulase, lipase, and peroxidase. Bradykinase helps to reduce excessive inflammation when applied to the skin topically, while others help in the breakdown of sugars and fats.
3. Minerals: It provides calcium, chromium, copper, selenium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc. They are essential for the proper functioning of various enzyme systems in different metabolic pathways and few are antioxidants.
4. Sugars: It provides monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) and polysaccharides: (glucomannans/polymannose). These are derived from the mucilage layer of the plant and are known as mucopolysaccharides. The most prominent monosaccharide is mannose-6-phosphate, and the most common polysaccharides are called glucomannans [beta-(1,4)-acetylated mannan]. Acemannan, a prominent glucomannan has also been found. Recently, a glycoprotein with antiallergic properties, called alprogen and novel anti-inflammatory compound, C-glucosyl chromone, has been isolated from Aloe vera gel. [7],[8]
5. Anthraquinones: It provides 12 anthraquinones, which are phenolic compounds traditionally known as laxatives. Aloin and emodin act as analgesics, antibacterials and antivirals.
6. Fatty acids: It provides 4 plant steroids; cholesterol, campesterol, β-sisosterol and lupeol. All these have anti-inflammatory action and lupeol also possesses antiseptic and analgesic properties.
7. Hormones: Auxins and gibberellins that help in wound healing and have anti-inflammatory action.
8. Others : It provides 20 of the 22 human required amino acids and 7 of the 8 essential amino acids. It also contains salicylic acid that possesses anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Lignin, an inert substance, when included in topical preparations, enhances penetrative effect of the other ingredients into the skin. Saponins that are the soapy substances form about 3% of the gel and have cleansing and antiseptic properties.
Mechanism of actions
1. Healing properties: Glucomannan, a mannose-rich polysaccharide, and gibberellin, a growth hormone, interacts with growth factor receptors on the fibroblast, thereby stimulating its activity and proliferation, which in turn significantly increases collagen synthesis after topical and oral Aloe vera. [9] Aloe gel not only increased collagen content of the wound but also changed collagen composition (more type III) and increased the degree of collagen cross linking. Due to this, it accelerated wound contraction and increased the breaking strength of resulting scar tissue. [10] An increased synthesis of hyaluronic acid and dermatan sulfate in the granulation tissue of a healing wound following oral or topical treatment has been reported. [11]
2. Effects on skin exposure to UV and gamma radiation: Aloe vera gel has been reported to have a protective effect against radiation damage to the skin. [12],[13] Exact role is not known, but following the administration of aloe vera gel, an antioxidant protein, metallothionein, is generated in the skin, which scavenges hydroxyl radicals and prevents suppression of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in the skin. It reduces the production and release of skin keratinocyte-derived immunosuppressive cytokines such as interleukin-10 (IL-10) and hence prevents UV-induced suppression of delayed type hypersensitivity. [14]
3. Anti-inflammatory action: Aloe vera inhibits the cyclooxygenase pathway and reduces prostaglandin E2 production from arachidonic acid. Recently, the novel anti-inflammatory compound called C-glucosyl chromone was isolated from gel extracts. [8]
4. Effects on the immune system: Alprogen inhibit calcium influx into mast cells, thereby inhibiting the antigen-antibody-mediated release of histamine and leukotriene from mast cells. [7] In a study on mice that had previously been implanted with murine sarcoma cells, acemannan stimulates the synthesis and release of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor from macrophages in mice, which in turn initiated an immune attack that resulted in necrosis and regression of the cancerous cells. [15] Several low-molecular-weight compounds are also capable of inhibiting the release of reactive oxygen free radicals from activated human neutrophils. [16]
5. Laxative effects: Anthraquinones present in latex are a potent laxative. It increases intestinal water content, stimulates mucus secretion and increases intestinal peristalsis. [17]
6. Antiviral and antitumor activity: These actions may be due to indirect or direct effects. Indirect effect is due to stimulation of the immune system and direct effect is due to anthraquinones. The anthraquinone aloin inactivates various enveloped viruses such as herpes simplex, varicella zoster and influenza. [18] In recent studies, a polysaccharide fraction has shown to inhibit the binding of benzopyrene to primary rat hepatocytes, thereby preventing the formation of potentially cancer-initiating benzopyrene-DNA adducts. An induction of glutathione S-transferase and an inhibition of the tumor-promoting effects of phorbol myristic acetate has also been reported which suggest a possible benefit of using aloe gel in cancer chemoprevention. [19],[20]
7. Moisturizing and anti-aging effect: Mucopolysaccharides help in binding moisture into the skin. Aloe stimulates fibroblast which produces the collagen and elastin fibers making the skin more elastic and less wrinkled. It also has cohesive effects on the superficial flaking epidermal cells by sticking them together, which softens the skin. The amino acids also soften hardened skin cells and zinc acts as an astringent to tighten pores. Its moisturizing effects has also been studied in treatment of dry skin associated with occupational exposure where aloe vera gel gloves improved the skin integrity, decreases appearance of fine wrinkle and decreases erythema. [21] It also has anti-acne effect.
8. Antiseptic effect: Aloe vera contains 6 antiseptic agents: Lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamonic acid, phenols and sulfur. They all have inhibitory action on fungi, bacteria and viruses.
Clinical uses: The clinical use of aloe vera is supported mostly by anecdotal data. Though most of these uses are interesting, controlled trials are essential to determine its effectiveness in all the following diseases. [22],[23]
A. Uses based on scientific evidence: These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven.
Conditions: Seborrheic dermatitis, [24] psoriasis vulgaris, [25],[26] genital herpes, [27],[28] skin burns, [5],[29] diabetes (type 2), [30] HIV infection, [31] cancer prevention, [32],[33] ulcerative colitis [34] wound healing (results of aloe on wound healing are mixed with some studies reporting positive results [35] and others showing no benefit [36] or potential worsening [37],[38] ), pressure ulcers, [36] mucositis, [39] radiation dermatitis, [40] acne vulgaris, [41] lichen planus, [42] frostbite, [43] aphthous stomatitis, [44] and constipation. [17]
B. Uses based on tradition or theory: The below uses are based on tradition or scientific theories. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven.
Conditions: Alopecia, bacterial and fungal skin infections, chronic leg wounds, parasitic infections, systemic lupus erythematosus, arthritis and tic douloureux.
Side effects
Topical: It may cause redness, burning, stinging sensation and rarely generalized dermatitis in sensitive individuals. Allergic reactions are mostly due to anthraquinones, such as aloin and barbaloin. It is best to apply it to a small area first to test for possible allergic reaction.
Oral: Abdominal cramps, diarrhea, red urine, hepatitis, dependency or worsening of constipation. Prolonged use has been reported to increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Laxative effect may cause electrolyte imbalances (low potassium levels).
Contraindication: Contraindicated in cases of known allergy to plants in the Liliaceae family.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Oral aloe is not recommended during pregnancy due to theoretical stimulation of uterine contractions, and in breastfeeding mothers, it may sometime causes gastrointestinal distress in the nursing infant.
Interactions : Application of aloe to skin may increase the absorption of steroid creams such as hydrocortisone. It reduces the effectiveness and may increases the adverse effects of digoxin and digitoxin, due to its potassium lowering effect. Combined use of Aloe vera and furosemide may increase the risk of potassium depletion. It decreases the blood sugar levels and thus may interact with oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin.
Thus, though Aloe vera has wide spectrum of the properties and uses, some of them could be myths and some of them could be real magic. In future, controlled studies are required to prove the effectiveness of Aloe vera under various conditions.

[12],[13] Exact role is not known, but following the administration of aloe vera gel, an antioxidant protein, metallothionein, is generated in the skin, which scavenges hydroxyl radicals and prevents suppression of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in the skin. It reduces the production and release of skin keratinocyte-derived immunosuppressive cytokines such as interleukin-10 (IL-10) and hence prevents UV-induced suppression of delayed type hypersensitivity. [14]
3. Anti-inflammatory action: Aloe vera inhibits the cyclooxygenase pathway and reduces prostaglandin E2 production from arachidonic acid. Recently, the novel anti-inflammatory compound called C-glucosyl chromone was isolated from gel extracts. [8]
4. Effects on the immune system: Alprogen inhibit calcium influx into mast cells, thereby inhibiting the antigen-antibody-mediated release of histamine and leukotriene from mast cells. [7] In a study on mice that had previously been implanted with murine sarcoma cells, acemannan stimulates the synthesis and release of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor from macrophages in mice, which in turn initiated an immune attack that resulted in necrosis and regression of the cancerous cells. [15] Several low-molecular-weight compounds are also capable of inhibiting the release of reactive oxygen free radicals from activated human neutrophils. [16]
5. Laxative effects: Anthraquinones present in latex are a potent laxative. It increases intestinal water content, stimulates mucus secretion and increases intestinal peristalsis. [17]
6. Antiviral and antitumor activity: These actions may be due to indirect or direct effects. Indirect effect is due to stimulation of the immune system and direct effect is due to anthraquinones. The anthraquinone aloin inactivates various enveloped viruses such as herpes simplex, varicella zoster and influenza. [18] In recent studies, a polysaccharide fraction has shown to inhibit the binding of benzopyrene to primary rat hepatocytes, thereby preventing the formation of potentially cancer-initiating benzopyrene-DNA adducts. An induction of glutathione S-transferase and an inhibition of the tumor-promoting effects of phorbol myristic acetate has also been reported which suggest a possible benefit of using aloe gel in cancer chemoprevention. [19],[20]
7. Moisturizing and anti-aging effect: Mucopolysaccharides help in binding moisture into the skin. Aloe stimulates fibroblast which produces the collagen and elastin fibers making the skin more elastic and less wrinkled. It also has cohesive effects on the superficial flaking epidermal cells by sticking them together, which softens the skin. The amino acids also soften hardened skin cells and zinc acts as an astringent to tighten pores. Its moisturizing effects has also been studied in treatment of dry skin associated with occupational exposure where aloe vera gel gloves improved the skin integrity, decreases appearance of fine wrinkle and decreases erythema. [21] It also has anti-acne effect.
8. Antiseptic effect: Aloe vera contains 6 antiseptic agents: Lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamonic acid, phenols and sulfur. They all have inhibitory action on fungi, bacteria and viruses.
Clinical uses: The clinical use of aloe vera is supported mostly by anecdotal data. Though most of these uses are interesting, controlled trials are essential to determine its effectiveness in all the following diseases. [22],[23]
A. Uses based on scientific evidence: These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven.
Conditions: Seborrheic dermatitis, [24] psoriasis vulgaris, [25],[26] genital herpes, [27],[28] skin burns, [5],[29] diabetes (type 2), [30] HIV infection, [31] cancer prevention, [32],[33] ulcerative colitis [34] wound healing (results of aloe on wound healing are mixed with some studies reporting positive results [35] and others showing no benefit [36] or potential worsening [37],[38] ), pressure ulcers, [36] mucositis, [39] radiation dermatitis, [40] acne vulgaris, [41] lichen planus, [42] frostbite, [43] aphthous stomatitis, [44] and constipation. [17]
B. Uses based on tradition or theory: The below uses are based on tradition or scientific theories. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven.
Conditions: Alopecia, bacterial and fungal skin infections, chronic leg wounds, parasitic infections, systemic lupus erythematosus, arthritis and tic douloureux.
Side effects
Topical: It may cause redness, burning, stinging sensation and rarely generalized dermatitis in sensitive individuals. Allergic reactions are mostly due to anthraquinones, such as aloin and barbaloin. It is best to apply it to a small area first to test for possible allergic reaction.
Oral: Abdominal cramps, diarrhea, red urine, hepatitis, dependency or worsening of constipation. Prolonged use has been reported to increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Laxative effect may cause electrolyte imbalances (low potassium levels).
Contraindication: Contraindicated in cases of known allergy to plants in the Liliaceae family.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Oral aloe is not recommended during pregnancy due to theoretical stimulation of uterine contractions, and in breastfeeding mothers, it may sometime causes gastrointestinal distress in the nursing infant.
Interactions : Application of aloe to skin may increase the absorption of steroid creams such as hydrocortisone. It reduces the effectiveness and may increases the adverse effects of digoxin and digitoxin, due to its potassium lowering effect. Combined use of Aloe vera and furosemide may increase the risk of potassium depletion. It decreases the blood sugar levels and thus may interact with oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin.
Thus, though Aloe vera has wide spectrum of the properties and uses, some of them could be myths and some of them could be real magic. In future, controlled studies are required to prove the effectiveness of Aloe vera under various conditions.

АЛОЭ ВЕРА В СТОМАТОЛОГИИ
Помощь в лечении и профилактика
Доктор медицинских наук, профессор кафедры терапевтической стоматологии Г.Ф.Белоклицкая, г.Киев
С ЧЕГО НАЧИНАЮТСЯ ПРОБЛЕМЫ С ДЕСНАМИ?
Итак, у вас во рту есть несколько пломб, и Вы считаете себя здоровым, но сегодня утром во время чистки зубов на щетке остались следы крови.
Вы посмотрели себе в рот, конечно же, ничего не увидели, и к врачу не обратились. А зря: у Вас появились первые признаки воспаления десен (хронического катарального гингивита). Однако время не стоит на месте и болезнь, которая исподволь о себе заявила, незаметно для вас прогрессирует. Теперь уже при чистке зубов Вы обнаруживаете явную кровоточивость десен, у Вас появился неприятный запах изо рта, периодически Вы ощущаете ломоту и зуд в деснах, да такую, что хочется «стиснуть зубы». Вы смотрите себе в рот… Да, что-то сосочки между зубами стали подозрительно красные и отечные. Но Вы опять не идете к врачу. И вскоре обнаруживаете, что Ваши зубы как-то странно подросли. Куснуть румяное яблочко за бочок становиться все труднее и труднее, отбивной начинаете предпочитать котлету. Вы превратились в молчуна, дабы не вдыхать холодный морозный воздух, отказываетесь от напитков со льдом и лимоном, ибо от холодного и кислого у Вас отчаянно начинают ныть зубы. Вы собираетесь пойти к врачу, но находится что-то более важное. И, наконец, приходит то самое завтра, когда во время чистки зубов Вы выплюнули очень симпатичный на вид, совершенно здоровый зуб. Ну как перспектива?
ЧТО, ЧЕМ, ЗАЧЕМ И КАК НУЖНО СДЕЛАТЬ,
ЧТОБЫ ВАШИ ЗУБЫ ОСТАВАЛИСЬ ВАШИМИ?
● Что необходимо сделать? - конечно, регулярно, дважды в день ухаживать за полостью рта. Помните, что гигиена является основой профилактики, а предупредить всегда легче, чем вылечить!
● Чем? - лечебной линией компании FLP, крупнейшего в мире производителя продукции на основе Алоэ Вера и медопродуктов. Отличительную особенность и одновременно уникальность продуктов FLP вот уже более 27 лет обеспечивают свойства его главной составляющей — геля АЛОЭ ВЕРА. Только компания FLP сохраняет свежевыжатый гель из листа Алоэ Вера при помощи витаминов-антиокислителей, НЕ ПОДВЕРГАЯ его термической обработке. Стабилизированный гель Алоэ Вера обладает необходимыми лечебными свойствами, полностью сохраненными во всех продуктах:
▪ Бактериостатический ▪ Антивирусный ▪ Противовоспалительный
▪ Противоотечный ▪ Ранозаживляющий ▪ Болеутоляющий
Среди стоматологических продуктов компании FLP высокоэффективные средства по уходу за зубами и деснами, оказывающие не только профилактическое, но и лечебное действие.
На ПЕРВОЙ линии защиты зубная паста “Форевер Брайт”. Сочетание 35,5% чистой мякоти Алоэ с пчелиным прополисом придает пасте исключительные по силе воздействия - противовоспалительные, бактерицидные, ранозаживляющие свойства.
Высокая проникающая способность обеспечивает очистку даже тех труднодоступных мест, куда Ваша зубная щетка редко попадает. Низкая образивность предохраняет зубы от мелких трещин. К концу второй недели чистки зубов нашей пастой, Вы с удивлением замечаете, что беспокоившая Вас кровоточивость десен исчезла, дыхание вновь обрело свежесть, десны побледнели. Особенно приятно, что благотворное влияние пасты распространяется не только на десны, но и на зубы. Уничтожая бактерии зубного налета, паста значительно снижает риск развития кариеса, т.к. при этом устраняет главного виновника Streptococcus mutans. Такой комбинированный эффект делает ее отличной пастой для всей семьи. Это подтверждают и результаты голосования читателей журнала «Ридерз Дайджест», присвоивших пасте Форевер Брайт» знак «Марка отличного качества 1999”.
