Aloe Vera, the true aloe, is properly called aloe Barbadensis Miller. Medicinally, it is the most powerful of all the aloe varieties - of which there are over 200 in the world. Ancient records show that the benefits of Aloe Vera have been known for centuries. Its therapeutic advantages and healing properties have survived more than 5000 years.

A famous papyrus discovered in Thebes dated 1500 BC, lists the use of aloe both in drugs and cosmetics. Over the centuries, aloe vera has been known to many different cultures, from the Ancient Greeks and Romans, to Babylonian, Indian and Chinese peoples. It was also well known to the ancient physicians, such as Hippocrates and the Greek physician Dioscorides, who wrote one of the greatest medical books ever written - De Materia Medica.

Nowadays, aloe products remain as popular as ever, illustrating that this natural product has been valued by mankind for more than two millennia.

Aloe and Cancer

Dr. Lawrence G. Plaskett, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry among many other academic distinctions, states "The action of substances in Aloe vera does activate and intensify the immune response, and this constitutes one of the fundamental scientifically established actions of Aloe upon the body."

It is in the boosting of the immune system's response to antigens (foreign elements in the body) that Aloe vera has shown the most promise in treating cancer. Although no one is yet proposing that Aloe vera is a cure for cancer, it is clear from research conducted throughout the world over the past thirty years that Aloe vera and, in particular, certain specific substances in the plant - have very dramatic and impressive anti-cancer effects. Aloe vera has been demonstrated to enhance the immune system's response to cancer, promote the growth of new and healthy cells, and reduce the overall viral load within the body thereby revitalizing the body in its fight against the cancer.
