More about Aloe
There’s been much debate about the best way to process food generally and Aloe particularly. Aloe, just like all creatures and plant Aloe Vera has a defense plan. It does not have the spikes a cactus has, it’s more subtle than that, it’s named Aloin. This is a harsh bitter substance that has strong laxative effects. Any animal that eats the Aloe Vera plant soon learns not to!! It will not kill the creature but it is going to lead to diarrhea that’s hard to forget.
The challenge is how to get all of the goodness of the Aloe plant rather than the Aloin. There are lots of unique approaches to process the Aloe and eliminate the Aloin, there’s heat processing and physical processing and filtering. There’s not any agreement on which technique is the best so do your research and select. One thing that’s usually agreed upon for many foods which contain proteins, amino acids, enzymes and polysaccharides is that heat above body temperature will split these fantastic ingredients down. It’s my opinion that cold processing is exactly what you should be searching for.
Although the processing will eliminate just about all the laxative ingredient Aloin, when you begin drinking Aloe, do so in tiny amounts. Depending upon your body and your diet the detoxifying characteristics of Aloe will often assist you body flush out toxins. This doesn’t have anything to do with any laxative effects of this Aloe, it’s simply your body cleansing itself. As your body cleanses the toxins out (a few days) your digestive tract will return to normal as well as the rosemary will keep it.
I drink this juice daily and it has improved my skin (comments from people) and my skin was normal so far as I understood! It’s also the one thing that might have enabled me to go through my first summer without allergy drugs!!! I could even walk with a individual cutting grass!!
