I have been drinking it for over 30 years and back then all they had was the gel.
I only drink Lilly products. I started for an ulcer. Now it's a part of my alternative health and medical box. I will drink 16 oz straight from the bottle with an on - off attitude to it. I believe it does have a lot of good benefits.
Anybody have any good results to mention. I am curious if anyone has tried it for crones. I use to always get bronchitis and I just don't get it anymore.
My mom has emphysema and I have urged her to drink it but she only does a minimal amount. It has an anti inflammatory effect and may reduce or remove scar tissue. Maybe even help with the lung elasticity.
I think most people do more harmful food and drinks I know I do. So I try to balance out with good things also.
The taste is not that bad has a little citrus, I think. I figure if 3000 years ago Cleopatra knew to drink it, I can't go wrong.
I also drink it if I get a sunburn along with the OTC topical green stuff on the outside.
The list of nutrients is pretty impressive.
I also drink braggs organic apple cider vinegar, now that's a tough one and I have to mix with water in a pint glass 1-15 mix. Once you get it down it leaves a very refreshing taste and feeling. But ACV will be my next thread.

Like to hear from you.
Yep ... i do ... Lily of the Desert ... whole leaf.
Yum.
And it helps keep the bowels moving ... very good / lubricating for the intestines.
A half capsule of Cascara Sagrada mixed in a little bit of water (very bitter) and chased with about 4 gulps of aloe vera juice work wonders ... right before bed and on an empty stomach.
Oh, I tend to grab the stuff at the Asian store...I can't read Korean so it might be like the soft drink version.
Yeah, a soda with Aloe Vera in it (plus a lot of other junk) probably isn't so therapeutic.
