How can Aloeride® help for so many different diseases? "The plant aloe vera contains a complex mixture of molecules. The Handbook of Phytochemical Constituents of GRAS Herbs and Other Economic Plants by James A. Duke states that there are as many as 300 different types of molecules in aloe vera. Hardly surprising then that it has multiple effects on multiple tissue types. Unfortunately this broad spectrum of activity also fuels 'academic' scepticism because aloe vera does just too much to be true. To put that last criticism into perspective, even in Prescription Only Medication (POM) there is not just one thing any drug does. This is why we have monthly editions of MIMS and BNP to show, next to the indications of POMs, their contraindications, warnings, other drug interactions and adverse effects. POMs are as targeted molecules as a pharmaceutical company can make them, yet they affect so much. Imagine a plant with 300 different types of molecules, of course it is going to act broad spectrum. Aloe vera has been used by millions of people worldwide throughout the ages. Empirical evidence accumulated in accolades like 'miracle plant' and 'burn plant' but for academic validity such a sustained track record is said to be meaningless. But even in today's climate of evidence based medicine (EBM) much of day to day healthcare is characterised by non evidence based practice, variation in practice, inadequate outcome data, inequality of access to optimal treatment and ultimately a lack of evidence base. (Virus Research, Volume 89, Issue 2, November 2002, Pages 175-181). Entrenched sceptics should note that lack of evidence of efficacy should not be confused with evidence of lack of efficacy. The former says that there is insufficient evidence to pass judgement. The latter says it does not work.Of course good aloe vera works. Quite beside that there is safety and validation in the numbers (millions of people) and in the length of time aloe vera has been used (centuries), there is a lot of good quality research on aloe vera as well as scientific knowledge about what its different type of molecules do. This said, how well an aloe vera product works depends entirely on its quantity of working molecules, the quality of them and purity of product. On all counts Aloeride® is an exemplary product that stands head and shoulders above its competitors."
How can you say that Aloeride® is the best product in the world? This does not mean Aloeride® is a better product than the real deal. But not many people have access to enough 4 - 12 year old plants. And even if they do, they do not know how to remove the aloin (laxative properties) from the plant or have the time to make enough fresh gel for a family's daily use.
What is a good quality aloe vera product? Some companies use only the glyconutrients from aloe vera to sell the dried powder, and you may then buy an inferior product made from the rest of the plant. But even if this is not the case, some stabilising and preservation methods may also kill or damage active molecules in aloe vera, rendering it ineffective for what the plant promises to do.
Take with ample water on an empty stomach, and do not eat for at least another half hour. You can split your intake to two times per day.
