Internal Use: Aloe Vera Juice
( I buy a gallon jug that is available at most supermarkets’. Make sure it’s 100% Pure and Organic! Its taste is unpleasant so I add it to my fruit smoothies or chase with a V-8. It is also available in capsule form. However, when taken in capsule form, more than 50 mg could have a laxative effect.)

Aloe vera is non-toxic, with no known side effects, provided the aloin has been removed by processing.
“In 1997, University of San Antonio researcher Jeremiah Herlihy, Ph.D., conducted a study to observe any negative effects of drinking Aloe daily. Rather than exhibiting negative effects, however, test animals receiving daily Aloe showed a remarkable reduction in leukemia, heart disease, and kidney disease. Dr. Herlihy concluded, "We found no indication of harm done to the rats even at high levels." In fact, the Aloe-drinking animals actually lived 25 percent longer than those in the control group (IASC Conference, Texas, 1997).”

Minerals

Most of us take our daily vitamins…..but someone forgot to tell us about Minerals! They are just as….if not more important!

According to a U.S. Senate study (Document No. 264),--- 99 percent of Americans are deficient in minerals and trace elements.

According to The Doctor's Vitamin and Mineral Encyclopedia, "Mineral insufficiency and trace elements insufficiency are more likely to occur than are vitamin insufficiency states. Because of differing geologic conditions, minerals and trace elements may be scarce in the soils of certain regions and rich in those of other regions. Thus, you can live in some areas, eat a perfectly 'balanced' diet and still develop mineral deficiencies or trace element deficiencies that can only be averted through dietary change or supplementation."


1.Your vitamins can not be absorbed or functions without your minerals!

2.All nutrients ie: vitamins, proteins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, sugars, oils, require minerals for cellular function. All your bodily processes depend on the presence of minerals.

3.Did you know your body is 5% Minerals and Less then 1% Vitamins?


FYI: Many mineral supplements are not easily made by the body. It's important that mineral supplements be water soluble and that the elements be in an oxygenated state, bringing more oxygen to the blood cells and thereby releasing toxins from the body.
As it is with everything else it is about balance. Learn more at:
