Research since the 1930’s has shown that the clear gel of aloe vera has a dramatic ability to heal wounds, ulcers and burns by putting a protective coating on the affected areas and speeding up the healing rate. Many liquid health treatments are made, some combining aloe juice with other plants and herbs. The juice is soothing to digestive tract irritations, such as colitis and peptic ulcers.
As a food supplement, aloe is said to facilitate digestion, aid in blood and lymphatic circulation, as well as kidney, liver and gall bladder functions. Aloe contains at least three anti-inflammatory fatty acids that are helpful for the stomach, small intestine and colon. It naturally alkalizes digestive juices to prevent overacidity – a common cause of indigestion. It helps cleanse the digestive tract by exerting a soothing, balancing effect.
A newly discovered compound in aloe, acemannan, is currently being studied for its ability to strengthen the bodies natural resistance. Studies have shown acemannan to boost T-lymphocyte cells that aid the immune system.
Aloe vera “extract” is made by pulverizing the whole leaves of the plant. Aloe juice is made from the inner leaf.
One particular preparation is called A.M.P. Molo-Cure®. Some substances found within the aloe vera plant, including irritants, prove to be counter productive for internal consumption. The whole aloe vera leaf, raw aloe vera gel and liquid contain some ingredients that are irritating to the gut and intestinal linings. These substances promote diarrhea and are irritating, especially to individuals with digestive disorders. The makers of A.M.P. Molo-Cure have sought to remove these irritants, producing a highly concentrated aloe-based healing agent. There are many testimonies about the successful use of their preparation on the A.M.P. Molo-Cure home page.
The list of testimonials includes conditions such as:
- Crohn’s
- Ulcerative Colitis
- IBS
- GERD
- Diverticular Disease
- Constipation / Diarrhea
