Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion. But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened . Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions. Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE? Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace? WHY?? There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance: The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

What Alloe Vera Is Used For

• Traditionally and herbal remedy for burns, aloe was used topically to heal wounds and for various skin conditions, and orally as a laxative.
• Today, in addition to traditional uses, people take aloe orally to treat a variety of conditions, including diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, and osteoarthritis. People use aloe topically for osteoarthritis, burns, and sunburns.
• Aloe vera gel can be found in hundreds of skin products, including lotions and sunblocks.
• The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved aloe vera as a natural food flavoring.
• Aloe Ferox (Aloe) has been traditionally used in wound healing since ancient times. The Egyptians were using Aloe as early as 1500BC. Aloe contains a number of active compounds that have proven healing properties and an excellent effect on skin health, growth and repair. It is not surprising that Aloe has a history of being a common household remedy and is found in many commercial skin care preparations!

How Aloe Vera Is Used

• Aloe leaves contain a clear gel that is often used as a topical ointment. The green part of the leaf that surrounds the gel can be used to produce a juice or a dried substance (called latex) that is taken by mouth.
• The aloe vera gel can be applied directly to the wound. It can a new cut, abrasion, or an insect bite. The soothing effect of the aloe vera gel can be felt almost immediately.
• The aloe vera gel if applied immediately to a cut or wound, prevents the onset of an infection. The common band-aid can be used over the wound to keep the aloe vera gel in place.

What the Science Says about Alloe Vera

• Aloe latex contains strong laxative compounds. Products made with various components of aloe (aloin, aloe-emodin, and barbaloin) were at one time regulated by the FDA as oral over-the-counter (OTC) laxatives. In 2002, the FDA required that all OTC aloe laxative products be removed from the U.S. market or reformulated because the companies that manufactured them did not provide the necessary safety data.
• Early studies show that topical aloe gel may help heal burns and abrasions. One study, however, showed that aloe gel inhibits healing of deep surgical wounds. Aloe gel does not prevent burns from radiation therapy.
• There is not enough scientific evidence to support aloe vera for any of its other uses.

Side Effects and Cautions about Alloe Vera

• Use of topical aloe vera is not associated with significant side effects. Abdominal cramps and diarrhea have been reported with oral use of aloe vera. Diarrhea, caused by the laxative effect of oral aloe vera, can decrease the absorption of many drugs.
• People with diabetes who use glucose-lowering medication should be cautious if also taking aloe by mouth because preliminary studies suggest aloe may lower blood glucose levels.
• Tell your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.

Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe Vera Gel used for osteoarthritis, burns and sunburns, It is relatively easy to care for the aloe vera plant. The aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) plant is about 95% water therefore, Aloe vera prospers beautifully in frost-free climates. Well-drained sandy soil, or sandy loam with moderate sunlight is suitable for the aloe vera plant. Aloe vera plants are great as indoor or house plants. Make sure that you use quality pots with proper drainage holes. Wider pots rather than deeper pots are better because Aloes have a shallow, spreading root system. You should allow the potted aloe vera plants to completely dry out prior to re-watering. Aloe vera becomes dormant in winter, at which time very little moisture is required. Do not expose aloe vera plants to extreme cold temperatures.

There are over 150 species of Aloe Vera, and they are mostly native of South Africa. The aloe vera gel which is gathered from inside the leaf of the aloe vera plant has excellent healing properties especially when applied to cuts and burns. When the aloe vera gel is applied to skin which is sunburnt, the cooling effect of the aloe vera gel gives immediate relief.
