MILLENNIUM MIRACLES!

Something to think about.

Over the last 4000 years or so, one quite amazing medicinal herb has greatly benefited mankind, often in the most miraculous ways.
It is not surprising therefore, that Aloe Vera has become known as
"The Miracle Plant; The Medicine Plant; The Burn Plant; and The Natural Healer".
We find record of its uses in both the medicinal field and in cosmetics, by the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Italians, Algerians, Moroccans, Indians, Chinese and many others. George Ebers, in 1862, first discovered its antiquity in an Ancient Egyptian papyrus, written around 3500 BC. It was, in fact, a collection of herbal remedies and the original copy is safeguarded in Leipzig University.

Greek and Roman Physicians such as Dioscorides and Pliny the Elder, used
Aloe Vera to great effect. In fact, Dioscorides recorded many applications of it, 2000 years ago, - including, in today's terms :-
healing of wounds, stomach disorders and pain, binding, insomnia,
constipation, haemorrhoids, itching, headache, mouth and gum disease,
kidney ailments, blistering, hair loss, skin care, burning and blemishes etc.

History suggests that Aristotle persuaded Alexander the Great to conquer the Island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean, in order to obtain its rich supply of Aloe. We are told that Alexander grew the plant on wagons so that there would always be a fresh supplies on military campaigns, to treat his armies and heal the battle wounds of his soldiers.

The Egyptian Queens Nefertiti and Cleopatra rated it very highly as
a beauty therapy, for in those days health and beauty were linked far
more than they are today. There are also several references to the use
of Aloes in the Bible (Numbers 24:6; John 19:39; Psalms 45:8).

In Africa it was also revered as a good luck charm and supposedly kept evil spirits away. When placed over the entrance of a house, it ensured a long, healthy and flourishing life for the inhabitants.
Marco Polo found that the Chinese used Aloe for stomach ailments, the treatment of rashes and other skin disorders. Columbus' ships log contained notes on the medicinal uses of Aloe. Malayans and Jamaicans were known to bind a slab of Aloe pulp to the forehead to relieve all forms of headache, and in Cuba a popular
cold remedy is made from Aloe, with sugar and rum.
The Seminole Indians used the healing gel in their surgical procedures, where it was applied directly to the incision.

For centuries Central American Mexican Indians used Aloe Gel for a great many remedies :- for burns, to prevent blisters, for peptic and duodenal ulcers, dysentery and all types of stomach and intestinal disorders, prostatitis, bladder and kidney infections, topical ulcers and skin disorders, and they also felt that it increased their longevity and sexual prowess.

And so it goes on,- over 4000 years of tried and tested health giving remedies from one amazing plant. Unfortunately, as the main centres of civilisation moved north from the Mediterranean, the change to a cooler climate meant that Aloe Vera was no longer so widely available and its tremendous benefits were almost forgotten and lost to man.

However, in more recent times, our move towards natural remedies and herbal medicine in the western civilisations, has meant an upsurge in the use of one of natures miracles. Modern research and studies of Aloe Vera have produced similar remarkable results as were found during the previous 4000 years.

So, are miracles possible in the new millennium?
Without doubt, the use of Aloe Vera will amaze you.

So how does it work and what's in this amazing plant?

Well, Aloe Vera has been found to contain over 75 known ingredients,
essential to good health.
These are divided into the following groups :-
Vitamins: it contains a wide range, but the most important are the antioxidant vitamins C and E and Beta-carotene, the precursor of vitamin A.
It is also one of the few plant sources in the world of vitamin B12.

Minerals: including magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, chromium, calcium, sodium, potassium and iron.

Amino Acids: Aloe vera provides 20 of the 22 amino acids required by the human body for the building of proteins.
More importantly, it provides seven of the eight amino acids that cannot be manufactured by the body, and so have to be consumed as food or supplements. Sugars: including the important long chain polysaccharides, which act to boost the immune system.

Enzymes: lipases and proteases, which break down food and aid digestion, and also carboxypeptidase which is involved in the inflammatory process.

Plant Sterols: the three main types act as powerful anti-inflammatory agents.

Lignin: these soapy substances have a powerful antimicrobial effect against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and yeasts, such as candida or "thrush".

Anthraquinones: the most important being aloin and emodin, but altogether they are strong painkillers and have antibacterial and virucidal properties.

Salycylic Acid: this aspirin-like compound is anti-inflammatory and topically helps break down dead tissue.

Aloe Vera is indeed one of nature's miracles and works by providing a natural rich cocktail of nutritional elements, whose combined action and balance have a powerful effect, by working in 'synergy', as a team, to enhance each others effect. Its nutritional and antioxidant properties help to prevent injury and promote healing to the epithelial tissues, and fight the destructive "free radicals", which are thought to be responsible for numerous ailments, including some cancers.

So much for the history and the technicalities, but how is it that millions of people throughout the world are benefiting daily from this Miracle Plant?

Well quite simply, it works!! - and modern methods of stabilising the pure gel has meant that it can be brought directly to the consumer in convenient packaging.

Many eminent people in the world of nutrition and modern medicine extol the virtues of Aloe Vera and I will try to give some examples of their thoughts and my own experiences of the uses of this wonderful product.

Firstly, Dr. Peter Atherton, MB. ChB. D.Obst. RCOG. MRCGP. who has a special interest in dermatology and a deep understanding of the power of herbal remedies, believes, that although it is not a panacea for all ills and that there is no magic about it, Aloe Vera has a very important complementary role to play in the management of many conditions. He lectures extensively on the medical aspects of Aloe Vera and is the author of "The Essential Aloe Vera", the definitive work on the subject.
His research and experience have produced innumerable cases where the use of Aloe Vera has proved invaluable in helping the body's own healing processes to work at their optimum.

Another well-known figure in the field of nutrition is Patrick Holford, of the Institute of Optimum Nutrition. Patrick, who lectures extensively and writes regularly for many health publications and has written many books on nutrition, is a devotee of Aloe Vera.

Dr. Greg Henderson, D.C., F.C.T.S. who possesses many qualifications and titles in the fields of medicine and nutrition, is also a very strong exponent in the use of Aloe Vera in his renowned practice in Western U.S.A., where his staff refer to many S.A.M.s each day, that is "Standard Aloe Miracles". He also lectures throughout the world and has a wealth of evidence of these Aloe Miracles.

When you listen to the wisdom of these eminent figures and the many others whom I have had the privilege of hearing, you become totally convinced of the efficacy and value of Aloe Vera in the world of Complementary Medicine.

From our own experience, we have seen some quite miraculous results and I'd like to conclude by sharing just a few of these with you.
I personally have gained complete relief from stomach ulcers and slight rheumatism and other members of the family have enjoyed relief from arthritis, migraine and digestive problems.

We have seen long term sufferers of Irritable Bowel Syndrome gain tremendous relief in a very short space of time.
A young lady who has suffered with chronic M.E. since the age of 16 and who was confined to bed and wheelchair for long periods, and in fact was registered as disabled, has made a most remarkable recovery, and although not completely cured of M.E. she is now leading a normal and very active life.
A miracle indeed.

I could go on citing these remarkable incidences of Aloe Vera and the related products helping to alleviate these dreadful and often chronic ailments which modern- day living seems to throw at us.

However, I think the most important use of Aloe Vera is as a general nutritional supplement. Almost everyone who takes the gel on a regular basis report a much greater sense of well-being and that 'feel good factor' of feeling 'better', calmer and less tense and stressed.
I would be very happy to explain further our uses of Aloe Vera and Beehive Products in our complementary health business and indeed share the opportunity with anyone who would like to distribute the products of the World's Leading Producers and suppliers of Aloe Vera and Beehive Products.
