A Doctor's Notes
Jeri L. Heyman, Ph.D. writes in The Secret Promise of Aloe Vera:
I am a developmental psychologist who has focused on psychological and emotional development for most of my life and career. By becoming aware of the latest research on aloe vera, I have become inspired to examine healthy physical development more closely in addition to the biochemical contribution to overall optimal health and balance.
I found the aloe vera plant to be the most fascinating and miraculous plant on the planet. I have spent the last five years investigating aloe vera, and it keeps getting more interesting all the time. As you begin to look at the information on aloe, you may find conflicting information. Please be aware that there is still a great deal of misinformation and misunderstandings about aloe vera and aloe vera products. It is very hard to believe that all the scientific research on the properties of fresh aloe vera could possibly be real - but they are.
The research raised many questions for me. How could something be so profoundly and fundamentally effective for so many areas of health and have only good side effects? Why (if this research is real and aloe has been around for so long) haven't we heard more about experiences of these miraculous effects?
What I found is that the research on fresh aloe vera is real and the research on the constituents in fresh aloe is real. However, most of the aloe vera products available in the marketplace are not demonstrating the promises documented by the research, even though they have some benefits. Thus, aloe vera's true potential has remained a secret.
