Aloe Vera juice -- Question :Re: side effects - concern HELP please

[Guest guest]

Rita, Thank you very much. I will follow through and take a look

at the website you gave. (Living in Kansas I it is a bit hard to

come to the store!!) You mentioned Lily of the Desert and that is a

brand I have seen at a local health food store I frequent. Do you

use it? I am presuming you use others as well.

In addition to answering the question about Aloe Vera juice you

mentioned Ricci King who is the moderator of abmd. I have wished

there was a way I could send a message to her outside of the abmd

list. You may be the one who can help me do that.

Thanks, Jan
