Aloë Vera
Waarom aloë vera een antwoord
biedt op veel gezondheidsproblemen en goed is voor ieder mens!
Waarom hebben eskimo's geen last van hart-
en vaatziekten? Waarom komt kanker in sommige landen niet voor? Er bestaat simpelweg een
logica in wat mensen eten in bepaalde landen en wat voor gifstoffen men daar binnenkrijgt,
in verhouding tot de algehele volksgezondheid in een land. We vergeten wel eens hoe
prachtig ons lichaam in elkaar zit en hoe deze functioneert. Een gezond lichaam krijgt
alle nodige voedingsstoffen binnen en geen gifstoffen die afbreuk doen. Ieder orgaan,
proces, cel in ons lichaam heeft voedsel nodig om te groeien en optimaal te functioneren.
Zo zijn aminozuren noodzakelijk als bouwstoffen voor bijvoorbeeld ons hart, de huid en
organen. Vetzuren hebben wij nodig voor een goede hormoonwerking en stofwisseling in de
hersenen, die op hun beurt het hele lichaam aansturen. Vitaminen en mineralen zorgen voor
vele processen in ons lichaam en spijsverteringsenzymen zorgen voor een goed functioneren
van o.a. onze darmen (waar 80% van onze kwalen en ziektes uit voortkomen!). Dit is tevens
belangrijk voor onze energie. Al deze stoffen houden ons gezond. Maar wat als er tekorten
zijn? Zeker op langere termijn gaat dat symptomen geven en kwalen en ziektes kunnen zich
openbaren.
Voldoende voeding voor ons lichaam is dus een must voor een goede gezondheid!
Probleem vandaag de dag is dat we tekorten
hebben en dagelijks te weinig voedingsstoffen binnenkrijgen. We zien dat o.a. aan de vele
weerstandsproblemen in ons land. Onderzoeken hebben aangetoond dat sinds 1985 het gehalte
aan vitamine C in appels met 80% is gedaald.
Amerikaanse arts waarschuwt voor
toxische wereld
Volgens de Amerikaanse arts Doris J. Rapp
is de echte oorzaak van de toename van onvruchtbaarheid, adhd, kanker, allergieën, ziekte
van crohn, diabetes, vroege puberteit te wijten aan schade door chemicaliën. Deze
toxische problemen zullen nog verder toenemen en een goudmijntje worden voor de farmacie
die nu al goed aan deze ziekten verdient.
Waarom Aloë vera zou kunnen baten?
Aloë vera is het rijkste
voedingssupplement uit de natuur! Het heeft een positieve werking op allerlei
lichaamsprocessen en reinigt ons lichaam van gifstoffen. Onze darmen bieden een
belangrijke basis voor onze gezondheid! Aloë vera bevat 200 wetenschappelijk aangetoond
werkzame stoffen en zit boordevol voedingsstoffen als vitaminen, mineralen, enzymen, en
aminozuren, welke dus zorgen voor de werking van alle functies in ons lichaam. Dr. Hans
Moolenburgh, werkzaam geweest in de reguliere geneeskunde, schrijver van 9 boeken, heeft
meer dan 30 jaar ervaring als natuurgeneeskundig arts. Hij gaat ondermeer in op de
reguliere geneeskunde versus natuurgeneeswijzen en is een groot voorvechter voor het
samenwerken van deze groeperingen. De reguliere geneeskunde beweert echter bijvoorbeeld
dat reuma niet te genezen is. Met de chemische medicijnen is dat een feit. Het
pijnstillend vermogen neemt af en het breekt uiteindelijke je botten af. De
ontstekingsremmende dosis kan aangepast worden in een pilletje, maar genezend werkt het
niet. Het gebruik van aloë vera heeft echter geweldige resultaten getoond. Dr.
Moolenburgh staat vol overtuiging achter de werking van aloë vera. Zijn missie is mensen
helpen zichzelf beter te maken. Aloë vera bouwt je gezondheid weer op waardoor je de
aandoening / ziekte beter kunt bestrijden. Daarnaast kan het door zijn brede werking en
vele werkzame stoffen ook de klacht bestrijden. Meer energie geeft meer kracht om het
eigen lichaam te genezen. Iets waar de reguliere geneeskunde geen rekening mee houdt.
Wat is Aloë Vera?
Het is een plant waarvan de bladeren een
zeer rijke gel bevat. Al duizenden jaren heeft het zijn kracht bewezen, echter wegens de
chemische industrie/medicijnen een ondergewaardeerd en onbekend middel geworden. Het is
een uniek, natuurlijk middel en heeft de volgende eigenschappen: ontstekingsremmend,
antisceptisch en antiviraal, ontgiftend en reinigend, celvernieuwend, dringt door de
huidlagen heen, is kalmerend, pijnstillend, jeukstillend, bloedstelpend en heeft
wetenschappelijk aangetoond kankerremmende eigenschappen.
Hoe kan aloë vera baten?
Het geeft ons dus de voeding die we nodig hebben en weert de gifstoffen uit ons lichaam.
Het ontgift je darmen, doordat aloë vera zich koppelt aan vuil. Zodoende houdt het de
darmen schoon en kan men veel narigheid voorkomen. De voedingsstoffen zorgen voor de
opbouw van het lichaam. Aloë vera reguleert dát in het lichaam wat niet goed
functioneert. Gevolgen o.a.: een mooiere, jonge huid, betere weerstand, meer energie,
beter concentratievermogen, betere opname van voedingsstoffen, betere hormoonhuishouding,
gezondere cellen, sterkere nagels, gezonder haar, beter slapen, vrolijker etc. Tevens kan
het baten bij: allerlei aandoeningen als: darm- en maagproblemen, allerlei huidproblemen,
gewrichtsaandoeningen, overgewicht, hormonale problemen, ontstekingen etc. etc.) Aloë
vera kan je drinken. De drank moet van hoogwaardige kwaliteit zijn, zonder vermaling van
het blad en een hoog percentage bevatten.
Slechts een paar slokjes aloë drank per
dag en je leeft gezonder en opgewekter!

Management of psoriasis with Aloe vera
extract in a hydrophilic cream: a placebo-controlled, double-blind study.Syed TA, Ahmad
SA, Holt AH, Ahmad SA, Ahmad SH, Afzal M. Department of Clinical Physiology, Malmo
University Hospital, Sweden.
The purpose of this double-blind,
placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and tolerability of topical
Aloe vera extract 0.5% in a hydrophilic cream to cure patients with psoriasis vulgaris.
Sixty patients (36M/24F) aged 18-50 years (mean 25.6) with slight to moderate chronic
plaque-type psoriasis and PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) scores between 4.8 and
16.7 (mean 9.3) were enrolled and randomized to two parallel groups.
The mean duration of the disease prior to
enrollment was 8.5 years (range 1-21). Patients were provided with a precoded 100g tube,
placebo or active (with 0.5% Aloe vera extract), and they self-administered trial
medication topically (without occlusion) at home 3 times daily for 5 consecutive days per
week (maximum 4 weeks active treatment). Patients were examined on a weekly basis and
those showing a progressive reduction of lesions, desquamation followed by decreased
erythema, infiltration and lowered PASI score were considered healed.
The study was scheduled for 16 weeks with
12 months of follow-up on a monthly basis. The treatment was well tolerated by all the
patients, with no adverse drug-related symptoms and no dropouts. By the end of the study,
the Aloe vera extract cream had cured 25/30 patients (83.3%) compared to the placebo cure
rate of 2/30 (6.6%) (P < 0.001) resulting in significant clearing of the psoriatic
plaques (328/396 (82.8%) vs placebo 28/366 (7.7%), P < 0.001) and a decreased PASI
score to a mean of 2.2.
The findings of this study suggest that
topically applied Aloe vera extract 0.5% in a hydrophilic cream is more effective than
placebo, and has not shown toxic or any other objective side-effects. Therefore, the
regimen can be considered a safe and alternative treatment to cure patients suffering from
psoriasis.

Effect of Aloe vera preparations
on the human bioavailability of vitamins C and E.
Vinson JA, Al Kharrat H, Andreoli L.

Scranton, Scranton, PA, 18510 4626, USA. vinson@scranton.edu
There are no literature references
describing the effect of consumption of Aloe vera liquid preparations on the absorption of
water- or fat-soluble vitamins. There is a very large population worldwide which consume
vitamins and many people also consume Aloe. Thus we report the effect of Aloe on the human
absorption of vitamins C and E, the most popular vitamin supplements. The plasma
bioavailability of vitamins C and E were determined in normal fasting subjects, with eight
subjects for vitamin C and ten subjects for vitamin E. In a random crossover design, the
subjects consumed either 500 mg of ascorbic acid or 420 mg of vitamin E acetate alone
(control), or combined with 2 oz of two different Aloe preparations (a whole leaf extract,
or an inner fillet gel). Blood was collected periodically up to 24 h after consumption.
Plasma was analyzed for ascorbate and tocopherol by-HPLC with UV detection. There was no
significant difference in the areas under the plasma ascorbate-time curves among the
groups sincerely due to large differences within the groups. For comparative purposes the
control area was 100%. The Aloe Gel area was 304%, and Aloe Whole Leaf 80%.
Only Aloe Gel caused a significant
increase in plasma ascorbate after 8 and 24 h. For vitamin E, the results for the relative
areas were control 100%, Gel 369%, and Leaf (198%). Only the Aloes produced a significant
increase in plasma tocopherol after 6 and 8 h. Both Aloes were significantly different
from the control after 8 h. Aloe Gel was significantly different from the baseline after
24 h. The Aloes slowed down the absorption of both vitamins with maximum concentrations
2-4 h later than the control. There was no difference between the two types of Aloe. The results indicate that the Aloes improve the
absorption of both vitamins C and E.
The absorption is slower and the vitamins last longer in the plasma with the Aloes. Aloe
is the only known supplement to increase the absorption of both of these vitamins and
should be considered as a complement to them.
Evaluation of aloe vera gel
gloves in the treatment of dry skin associated with occupational exposure.
West DP, Zhu YF.
Department of Dermatology, Northwestern
University, The Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Ill 60611-2923, USA.
OBJECTIVE: An examination glove that
delivers aloe vera (AV) gel to the gloved hand was studied in 30 adult females with
bilateral occupational dry skin with or without irritant contact dermatitis (with or
without erythema, fissures, and excoriations).
METHODS: All participants were factory
assembly-line workers with repeated superficial skin trauma who attributed their dry,
irritated, emollient-dependent skin to a common cause (occupational exposure).
Participants were sequentially enrolled (after written informed consent, n = 29 evaluable
participants) into an open, contralateral comparison study to evaluate efficacy of AV
glove use 8 h/day to one hand versus no use to the opposite hand for 30 days, followed by
30 days rest, followed by 10 days of repeated use. Participant's dorsal hands were
documented by standardized photos at baseline, during, and at the end of study.
RESULTS: Unblinded investigator baseline
assessment rated dry skin as mild to moderate (n = 27), or moderate to severe (n = 2).
Mean time to noticeable improvement for the AV glove hand was 3.5 days (range: 2-6 days)
whereas marked improvement was 10.4 days (range: 7-17 days) for the AV glove hand. No
improvement was detected for nonglove hands.Blinded photo assessment was rated
independently by dermatology research staff. End-of-study mean global assessment of AV
glove hands versus nonglove hands was 1.3 for AV glove hand (0 = no change, 1 = good
[10%-89% global improvement], 2 = marked improvement [90%-100% global improvement]) versus
0 for nonglove hand (P <.0001). Mean global end-of-study assessments by the
participants = 2.0 for AV glove hand versus 0 for nonglove hand.
CONCLUSION: Dry-coated AV gloves that
provide for gradual delivery of AV gel to skin produced a uniformly positive outcome of
improved skin integrity, decreased appearance of fine wrinkling, and decreased erythema in
the management of occupational dry skin and irritant contact dermatitis.

BACKGROUND: The herbal preparation, aloe
vera, has been claimed to have anti-inflammatory effects and, despite a lack of evidence
of its therapeutic efficacy, is widely used by patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
AIM: To perform a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the efficacy and
safety of aloe vera gel for the treatment of mildly to moderately active ulcerative
colitis. METHODS: Forty-four evaluable hospital out-patients were randomly given oral aloe
vera gel or placebo, 100 mL twice daily for 4 weeks, in a 2 : 1 ratio. The primary outcome
measures were clinical remission (Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index </= 2),
sigmoidoscopic remission (Baron score </= 1) and histological remission (Saverymuttu
score </= 1). Secondary outcome measures included changes in the Simple Clinical
Colitis Activity Index (improvement was defined as a decrease of >/= 3 points; response
was defined as remission or improvement), Baron score, histology score, haemoglobin,
platelet count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein and albumin.
RESULTS: Clinical remission, improvement
and response occurred in nine (30%), 11 (37%) and 14 (47%), respectively, of 30 patients
given aloe vera, compared with one (7%) [P = 0.09; odds ratio, 5.6 (0.6-49)], one (7%) [P
= 0.06; odds ratio, 7.5 (0.9-66)] and two (14%) [P < 0.05; odds ratio, 5.3 (1.0-27)],
respectively, of 14 patients taking placebo. The Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index
and histological scores decreased significantly during treatment with aloe vera (P = 0.01
and P = 0.03, respectively), but not with placebo. Sigmoidoscopic scores and laboratory
variables showed no significant differences between aloe vera and placebo. Adverse events
were minor and similar in both groups of patients.
CONCLUSION: Oral aloe vera taken for 4
weeks produced a clinical response more often than placebo; it also reduced the
histological disease activity and appeared to be safe. Further evaluation of the
therapeutic potential of aloe vera gel in inflammatory bowel disease is needed.

A double-blind trial of a
celandin, aloevera and psyllium laxative preparation in adult patients with constipation.
Odes HS, Madar Z.
Intestinal Diseases Unit, Soroka Medical
Center, Beer Sheva, Israel.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the
effect of a novel laxative preparation, composed of celandin, aloevera and psyllium in
patients with chronic constipation. Thirty-five men and women were randomized to receive
capsules containing celandin-aloevera-psyllium, or placebo, in a double-blind trial
lasting 28 days. Symptoms in the last 2 weeks of the treatment period were compared to
those in the 14-day pre-trial basal period. In the celandin, aloevera and psyllium group,
bowel movements became more frequent, the stools were softer and laxative dependence was
reduced. In the placebo group, all these parameters were unchanged. Abdominal pain was not
reduced in either group. The results of this study show that the preparation is an
effective laxative in the treatment of constipation.
