Advantages: heals, something for everything, just marvellous

Disadvantages: pricey

Having just had a baby, I am finding it difficult to be able to go out with friends and even to go out to work for long periods of time. I wanted to be able to go out and meet new people and work and not have to worry about little Carenza.

You may ask me what this has to do with Aloe Vera, and now I will tell you.

A few months ago, a friend of the family saw that my mother had very very bad rashes all over her arms. When she asked her about it, my mother replied that the Doctors had not been able to give her any medication that would shift it. This friend suggested that she tried some Aloe Propolis Cream by Forever Living Products, a new company that she had just joined. My mother tried the cream and found it very soothing indeed, and in time, the rashes went away.

Being a flute player, I often find that I have very sore lips and they often crack. The same lady suggested that I tried the Aloe Vera lip salve. This was extrodinary! Within one treatment, my lips felt like new! It gave them a glossy shine for the rest of the evening, they were moist even when I had eaten and the painful cracking did not come back for three days. This little stick can also be used on piles, paper cuts, and other small cuts and burns. Its your general first aid stick! It is suggested that you keep a few in stock- you don't want to risk putting the one for piles on your lips!

Christopher Columbus once said: "Four vegetables are indispensable for the well being of man: Wheat, the Grape, the Olive and the Aloe. The first nourishes him, the second raises his spirit, the third brings him harmony and the fourth cures him."

Aloe vera has been used for many thousands of years as a first aid plant. It look slike a cactus plant, but is actually a member of the onion family- you will be pleased to know that it does not smell like onions! Two thousand years ago Cleopatra regarded the gel as the fountain of youth and used it to preserve her sk
in against the ravages of the Egyptian sun! Many of the East Indian women use it daily to maintain beauty and counteract symptoms of ageing. I for one have seen evidence that it works in this area! Research in the Ukraine has discovered that Aloe Vera gel contains hormones which help accelerate healing in wounds and third-degree burns.

There is a general trend amongst the population to seek more natural and safer remedies for their ailments. This is because of the increasing side effect profile of modern drugs. It would appear that Aloe's primary method of healing is:
1. Protects Epithelial tissue from damage by free radicals.
2. Increases the rate of healing when the tissue is damaged.

Going back to Forever Living Products, I went on a training meeting today, and I heard a story that would convince anyone about the used of aloe vera: One man stood up, and told us how he was a cripple, and had been all his life. One of his legs was three inches longer than the other. He had not been able to run or swim, or do any physical activity since he was six years old. This man was about 75 I would say. Last month he started drinking their aloe vera gel. He can now run and swim! For the first time since he was six! If that doesn't convince you to use aloe vera in some way then I don't know what will!

All this is great to know! But where can you get it from, and what is there. More importantly, much does it cost?

You can get it from people like myself who have registered with the company. We buy the products direct fromthe company and then sell onto other people. Now then, you can either buy it from the people, or they can register you so you can buy it at wholesale price and sell it on to friends you know, making a 30% profit. Some people I know have not had to go to the hygienist for 6 years since using the aloe vera tooth gel. I don't know about you, but I hate going to the hygienist! That is going to save you mone
y in the long run too. If you can not find anyone near you who sells these products and you are interested in trying them, email me with your details and what you want, and I will have it sent to you. There is a 90 day money back policy if it is not working for you, even if you have used it, so what do you have to lose?

There is: Touch of Forever combi box which contains the most popular range of products at half their price; animal combi pock for your pets or even if you are a vet; personal use product pack for your personal care; nutritional combi pack which inludes the drinking gel; skin care combi pack; aloe vera gel which has great health benefits; forever freedom, a reveloutionary drink; aloe berry nectar, with aloe gel, cranberry and apple, aloe bits n'peaches, which is peach flavoured for those of you who are funny about tastes; forever bee honey with bee pollen and royal jelly; forever royal jelly; forever bee propolis, natures finest antibiotic; forever bee pollen which provides energy and stamina, aloe blossom herbal tea, fast break energy bar, forever lite in vanilla strawberry and chocolate, which is pretty much slimfast; Forever garcina plus which is another diet supplement; tablets for joints, circulation, memory boosting, multivitamins, hay fever, asthma;aloe liquid sopa; aloe bath gelee, ever shield deoderant stick, which is being used in hospitals all over the country because it helps prevent breast cancer; after shave; moisturiser; non abraisive tooth gel; shampoo; conditioner; styling gel; pro-set hair spray; sunless tanning lotion; aloe heat lotion, like deap heat without the smell; aloe first, a spray for any cut or burn; aloe lips; aloe sunscreen factor 30.

Whatever you need it for, there is a product for it! This is not even all the list! Now I know I am sounding like a hard seller, but is really is true! I can't get enough of this stuff, and it really does help a lot of people!

Obviously, for the differen
t products, the prices are different. The drinks are roughly £19.00 for a litre which will last a month. They contain msm, aloe vera, and other products too! Most things cost between £10 and £20, but some things are as little as £2.00. This may seem expensive, but it works and it lasts a long time.

You will notice that aloe vera is becoming more and more popular. Persil are using it in their washing powder, Johnsons are using it in their baby wipes, I've even heard that they are putting it in tights! The most important thing to remember when buying your aloe vera is, that the product you are buying is from the middle of the leaves. Some products use the whole leaf, but it is only the middle and the gel it produces that holds the goodness.

Forever living Products is by far the best company I have found for selling aloe vera. I think you will all agree that it is a must for all homes. As for growing it yourself, that may be a little difficult as it like to be in very hot conditions- something we are not used to in this country! but if you have land in, say, the Dominican Republic, then go for it!

You can find more information about this company and aloe vera at http://www.aloevera-flp.co.uk or you can email me for more information on the company and buying from it.

I hope you will all choose to use aloe vera. It is a very wonderful plant, and can help you in so many ways! I have not even touched the surface on this subject, but if I don't stop now, I don't think I ever will!

If you buy one thing this week, let it have aloe vera in it. When you burn yourself on the grill, or cut yourself opening your post, or even fall out of the door (maybe Im the only one to do this) then this little plants juice really will help your skin to heal!

Live forever with Aloe Vera!
