Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I read recently that there are two pain killing substances in Aloe Vera. The dose required for this pain relieving action is pretty much double that generally advised. I don't know to what extent this would be adequate for your needs, but may be of interest to members even if just for fibromyalgia, arthritis, and so on, especially as aloe vera has so many medicinal qualities and has been used in the treatment of some cancers. It takes some time for the pain easing action to become evident. (A couple of weeks or more). Based solely on the experience of a friend, I would be strongly inclined to apply Black Salve to the lymph gland areas.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 The people in the US could possibly advise you on where to get it, but I would expect any health food store to stock it. However, I prefer to get one in a glass bottle, micropulp rather than filtered. The one I get here in Australia comes from the other side of the continent, in Queensland, but I am pleased with it because it doesn't have preservatives in it that I don't like. It just has citric acid. " No sweeteners, preservatives or colouring " . It's certified organic and is called Aloe-Organics Pure Aloe Vera Juice, Micropulp. It comes in a 1 litre glass bottle with a kind of plastic skin on the outside, which I like both for shielding the contents from light and for safety if the bottle should fall and break. In my local chemist it costs nearly $30 a bottle, but ordering several boxes from Queensland with a couple of friends brings it down to about $17. That includes freight to this side of the country. http://www.hitechaloe.com/ They claim it is " *Best quality Aloe Vera available anywhere in the world. " *Once the pure inner gel is extracted from the leaves it is stabilised and pasteurised, before bottling or being formulated for further processing. After harvesting, the leaves are delivered within one hour to a state of the art TGA approved facility where they undergo an extremely gentle, cold extraction process. largest grower, processor and exporter of Aloe Vera products in the Southern Hemisphere. The friend who told me about the pain killing properties initially got hers from one of these international pyramid type companies, which reckoned theirs was the only one, etc. but they put flavouring in, which I don't like; if I want the taste disguised I would rather do it myself and know what goes in. All the best.

Well really I order it off the net but it is readily available.
