Aloe Vera for
Health
Click on a link below to see a testimonial
From my latter teenage years I had acne. Six months
before my 21st birthday, I was introduced to Aloe Vera. After using the Activator and
drinking the Gel I was able to celebrate my 21st birthday with an almost total clearance
of spots.

My daughter Lydia has many allergies. She has a very
poor appetite. She also found it difficult to sleep. She was always sick and had to take a
lot of antibiotics. I was also worried about the amount of steroids she was taking.
On the 25th April I started Lydia on Aloe Vera Gel and Bee Propolis. She was taking one
ounce four times per day and two Bee Propolis a day.
The first week she had diarrhoea and cramps in her stomach. Jennifer suggested we cut the
amount of Gel down to 4 teaspoons a day, so I did and by the third week she was great. She
hadn't had an attack of asthma and she was sleeping all night, her appetite has improved
and her allergies.
I am really delighted with the products as I was nearly going out of my mind with her. The
difference in the child is great, her stomach is in perfect condition and her health has
improved greatly.
Lydia is a much more happy and healthy child.
Thanks to Forever Living Products.

For as long as I can remember I have had an allergic reaction to smells, e.g. petrol,
soap, soap powders, bleach, perfume. If a room had been sprayed with air freshener or fly
killer, I could not go into the room without coughing, sneezing and becoming very
breathless. In fact I stayed away from anything that had a strong smell. On hearing that
Aloe Vera had helped others I decided to try it for myself. On 15th April 97 I purchased 2
litres of Forever Living Products Gel at lunchtime and at teatime I took 3 teaspoonfuls.
Before going to bed I had cramps in my stomach; by lunch the next day my throat became
very sore.
A cold sore had formed inside one nostril; this was nothing new if I had used any of the
things listed above, but I had not. I telephoned my distributor to ask if the Gel could
work as quickly. She assured me it could. I was advised to reduce the dose. I could not
swallow anything for three days so I stopped taking the Gel. After three days I started
again slowly increasing the dose.
Ten days later I attended a presentation of FLP products. A friend who was with me lifted
a deodorant stick and held it to my nose. She was astonished when nothing happened (no
coughing or breathlessness). On 17th May I had a consultation with David de Gernier who
advised me to take 2 pollen tablets each day along with the Gel. After 3 weeks I was able
to use all the things that I could not use before. I have really put FLP and myself to the
test. After 49 years I can now use perfume for the first time with no ill effect. I should
add my sense of smell is as acute as ever it was. Everyone who knows me is totally amazed
at the change. I can recommend FLP with confidence.

I often receive letters from distributors who have been told in the past that they had an
allergy to a particular substance which is listed among the ingredients in one of our
products. Some people have allergies to substances which are for most of us healthy and
beneficial (wheat, strawberries, etc.). Many of our food ingredients are naturally
derived, and therefore are not likely to stimulate the allergic response that a
synthetically derived substance will.
As a rule, even if you have had a 'legitimate' allergy to a substance, if you build up
your body with optimum nutrition, avoiding many of the chemical additives and
preservatives that exacerbate inappropriate reactions to otherwise normal ingredients, and
indeed fully embracing the Forever Lifestyle, you may find that your allergy is gone! I
was allergic to seemingly everything, even sunlight, but now enjoy a normal healthy
lifestyle as long as I take care of my body with all the best nutritional and lifestyle
tools of nature.
The Lifestyle Nutritional Programme is a simple, convenient, understandable and sound
foundation for any anti-allergic lifestyle!

I have been suffering from arthritis for some time in
my neck, shoulders, knees and joints. I learned about Aloe Vera Heat Lotion and Aloe Vera
Gel - by taking the Gel and applying the Heat Lotion to the affected areas I found instant
relief from pain. This lotion is applied liberally and as often as required. I also found
by applying the Heat Lotion to my chest I was getting rid of an awful lot of phlegm. I
would have been bothered with my chest from time to time, but this lotion is really an
instant relief from soreness or pain.
Agnes Henry.
------------------------------------------------------
At the beginning of January 1996 I decide to try Aloe Vera Heat treatment for arthritis in
my knees.
I applied it twice a day and after a while, as well as helping my arthritis it was also
clearing up eczema which I had on my left leg.
Later I got Aloe Vera Gel which I took orally and am now taking an egg cupful once a day.
The Gel is also helping my arthritis and has given me much relief, e.g. walking up
inclines, etc., which was difficult for me before. I feel my health is generally much
better.
I would recommend this treatment to anyone suffering the same complaints as me.

I suffered from arthritis in my two hands and in my neck. I was introduced to Aloe Vera
Gel and decided to try it, having nothing to lose with the 60 day money back guarantee if
it didn't work.
About two weeks later the pain got much worse but I was told to continue with it as this
was a sure sign it was working. I did and a few days later I was pain free.

I had Athlete's Foot for approximately two years. It
was a bright red patch over two toes, which got angry when it came into contact with
water. I regularly sprayed Aloe First onto my foot and after a couple of months it cleared
up. I was delighted with the results.
Paul Wright, Glengormley, 20th Nov. 1996.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I regularly suffer from Athlete's foot and I find it most uncomfortable and terribly hard
to clear on some occasions. My foot becomes quite painful and inflamed. During one episode
I applied Aloe Vera Gelly to the inflamed areas. In under a week the inflammation had
almost totally disappeared and there was certainly no pain or discomfort.

Hayden John is the sixth baby to arrive in our
home; but, thanks to Forever Living Products, he is the first baby not to have had
antibiotics for sore ears associated with teething problems. Two drops of Activator on a
warmed spoon for his sore ears, Aloe Vera Gelly to soothe his sore gums, one squirt of
Activator up each nostril for his runny nose. At seven and half months he is now the proud
owner of four teeth and I look forward to a continued 'no tears teething'. I only wish I
had known about these products sooner. But we as a family are now benefiting greatly from
the range of Forever Living Products. Try then for yourself and you won't be disappointed.

For over a year now I have had some pain in the lower
part of my back, after hurting it at work. Medication from my doctor didn't seem to work.
A couple of weeks ago my back was worse than normal, so I decided to try Aloe Vera Heat
Lotion. Within two days it had improved. I continued to use the heat lotion and it really
relieved my back pain. So far I have not had any pain since. I also use the Toothgel,
which cured my bleeding gums. Since using Aloe Toothgel I would not go back to using any
other toothpaste. I also take 40 ml of Aloe Gel for good health. I was so impressed with
the products I decided to join the business.

In July 1996 I began to experience backache. Tablets prescribed by my GP didn't ease the
pain and I felt nauseous when taking them. On completing the course, Aloe Vera Heat Lotion
from the Forever Living Products range was recommended to me. After using the heat lotion
for only two to three weeks the discomfort was eased significantly and following further
use the pain was gone completely. I certainly would not hesitate to use other products
from the range, perhaps even before trying medication prescribed by my GP.
A.M.S. Evans, Templepatrick.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Over the past 15 years I have been suffering from severe back pain. It originated from a
fall in the cold weather and is very painful. I have also developed arthritis in the right
shoulder and right arm over the years. I have purchased numerous rubs and painkillers, but
have only got partial relief. Approximately 3 months ago my neighbour, Belinda Anderson,
introduced me to a product called "L'Aloes". I have been using it constantly; to
say I'm getting relief is an understatement. It is not to say I will be 100% cured but I
found that by the use of this Forever Living product that great relief is possible.
James Hutchinson, Coleraine.

Aloe Vera Gelly has helped my back problem very much. I have had a muscular back problem
for about 7 years and it was getting gradually worse, until I was in pain and unable to
move freely every couple of weeks. The Gelly has taken this away almost completely since
July 1996 (4 months ago).
Karen Boyd.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
With having been troubled with backache, I always attended physiotherapists and
chiropractors. I had been to a chiropractor three times inside five months and getting no
relief. A friend introduced me to Aloe Vera Gel in June 1996. My back then improved as I
got relief from the constant ache.
I hurt my back quite badly again in October 1996 due to lifting a heavy obstacle. After
spending a day in bed, I then contacted the Naturopath who told me to take a very hot bath
in dried mustard. I had to then apply Activator and Aloe Heat Lotion with a flannel next
to my skin. The instant relief was miraculous. The pains stopped piercing down my legs. I
was immediately able to resume my normal duties. I am so thankful to God for producing
Aloe Vera and I am now a distributor getting many good results.

I was introduced to Forever
Living Products in August. I have used Forever Bright Toothgel ever since and I find it
very good. As I always suffered from bleeding gums no matter what toothpaste I used, I
find now that this has stopped since using Aloe Vera. I also find my teeth to be whiter.
I have also used Aloe Gel, Heat Lotion, Aloe Lips and Aloe Gelly and find them all very
good. I would recommend Forever Living Products to my friends.

Burns
One evening I was working in our kitchen and accidentally put my hand on
a hot hob and scorched my fingertips. Immediately they came up white and lumped. As soon
as possible I dipped them in a glass of gel. After five minutes I nearly had forgotten why
my hand was in the glass.
Matthew Wright.
------------------------------------------------------
A few weeks ago I was lighting my gas oven when it blew up due to escaping gas. My face
and hair were badly burnt. One side of my face was very red and raw from the flames. I
sent for my friend, Jacqueline Hennesey, a distributor with Forever Living Products and
she advised me to spray the Aloe First on the burn every few minutes for the first hour or
two then regularly for three days. I did this and was amazed that I suffered absolutely no
pain from the burn and the swelling and redness went away very quickly. I also had two
scars were my hair had burnt into my face. I started to apply the Aloe Vera Gelly to these
on the third day and very soon the marks were barely noticeable.
I would highly recommend Forever Living Products to anyone and feel the aloe First should
be in everyone's first aid cabinet.
Anne K.
------------------------------------------------------
At my place of work I quite often need to use a gas torch. On one particular occasion I
got rather badly burned on my hand, this was extremely painful. Applying Aloe Gelly
notably dulled the pain and several applications helped the burn to heal much faster than
expected.
One weekend my lips were extremely chapped and broken and giving much discomfort. After
applying Aloe Gel and Aloe lips I was very impressed with how quickly the problem was
alleviated.
Matt.
------------------------------------------------------
One of the many testimonies I have is when my husband was burnt at 11:30 am one Saturday
morning. He was burning a black plastic sack of rubbish when an aerosol can inside
exploded, covering him in melted plastic, his face, neck and hands were red raw and some
of the plastic was stuck to his skin. I sprayed on the Aloe First repeatedly, after about
10 minutes when the pain and swelling had gone I applied some Gelly, by 5 p.m. that
evening there was absolutely no sign of redness or swelling, in fact the only proof we had
that it happened were the clothes he was wearing at the time. Incidentally I still have
them, the plastic never came off, even after two washes. Score Aloe Vera 10/10, Daz 0/10.
Deirdre R.
------------------------------------------------------
Earlier this year I purchased some Aloe First for burns. Since using this product I have
found it to be very effective for treatment of burns and have now ceased using all other
brand products.
On occasions when we had to use Aloe First, we found it to be fast-acting and
long-lasting. It also proved to speed the healing process of the burn thus not allowing
the skin to blister and therefore reducing the pain of the wound.
Gavin Murphy, Kitchen Manager, Killyhelvin Hotel, Enniskillen.
------------------------------------------------------
My daughter, Amy, aged 2 years, touched an open oven door, still very hot, as I had just
taken some baking out. She screamed with pain as her little fingers were burnt. I grabbed
the Aloe First spray which is always on hand in the kitchen, and sprayed her fingers. She
stopped screaming and crying immediately, and went off to play as if they were never
burnt!
Aloe First has wonderful pain-killing ingredients, as I've discovered through its use on
myself and the children, for all sorts of purposes - burns, cuts, scrapes and insect
bites.

Cold Sores
Up until June this year, I was troubled with cold sores on a regular
basis. My boyfriend suggested that I try Aloe Vera. I started taking the Gel twice a day,
as well as using Aloe Lips and Aloe Toothgel. About two days after starting on the Aloe
Vera I got a massive cold sore. At this point my faith in Aloe Vera completely
disappeared. My boyfriend explained to me, however, that this could be the herpes virus so
I reluctantly carried on taking the Aloe Vera. To my surprise my cold sore cleared up
extremely quickly (it usually takes about 2 ½ weeks). Then all through the summer I had
no cold sores and I stopped taking the Aloe Vera about a month ago. One week ago I felt a
cold sore threatening, so I quickly applied the Aloe Lips. This stopped it from developing
any further and four days later it was gone. I have started taking the Gel again and also
apply Aloe Lips three or four times daily.
Julie Fenton, Ballymoney, 11th Nov. 1996.
------------------------------------------------------
For as long as I can remember, I have suffered from cold sores. I have tried many
prescribed treatments, but they have always returned.
In September I was introduced to Forever Living Products. I purchased an Aloe Lip and I
have been using this since. I am so glad to say that I have not had one single cold sore.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this product to anyone.

Colitis
I had suffered from Colitis for over a year. The symptoms I had were
acute pain every morning followed by the necessity to dash to the toilet. I had diarrhoea
and constant niggly pains throughout each day and bleeding also. My lifestyle was very
restricted as the maximum time I could go out for was two hours, general and social
activities were very difficult. Life was very restricted and worrying for me. I had put
off going to the doctors as two friends of mine who also suffered from Colitis had little
or no relief from the medications they were prescribed, and their lifestyles were very
much restricted also. I was hoping it might just get better but the symptoms became much
worse and I couldn't cope much longer without some help.
I was very sceptical but my daughter whose family are completely convinced of the benefits
of using Aloe Vera persuaded me to try it for myself and assured me that it certainly
wouldn't do me any harm or make me any worse than I was, so I reluctantly agreed to try
it. She suggested I drink 1 fl oz three times daily to clear my system very quickly. It
was most definitely effective at clearing......I felt it was too effective at clearing me
out......I already suffered from diarrhoea and taking the Gel I felt the need to use the
toilet even more frequently.
She suggested it would be better to bear the frequency for a week or so until it settled
down, she felt a faster detoxification would save me from having to endure all my symptoms
for a longer time. However I felt more comfortable about a slower detoxification and
decide to reduce the quantities. After three weeks of taking 1 fl oz per day, sipped at
intervals, I began to receive some very positive results. The bleeding and diarrhoea was
intermittent and not so frequent, the pain was gone.
I drank a total of three (one litre) bottles over a three month period, and by that time
all my symptoms were gone! I was very happy. My daughter felt that if I had taken the
suggested amounts I would have had all the results much sooner, but whatever, I was still
very much relieved to be rid of all the unpleasantries.
About two or three months later I had a slight remission but in no way as severe as I had
prior to first taking Aloe Vera. I immediately requested a couple more bottles of Aloe
Vera which I drank over a two month period. The symptoms quickly vanished and since that
time in 1992 I have nit needed to request any more. I have been given a couple of bottles
each time my son-in-law and daughter visit us a couple of times a year, as I firmly
believe that prevention is better than cure and I know that it has completely enabled me
to lead a normal and very active lifestyle once more. Forever Living Products don't claim
that Aloe Vera is very effective however I would recommend it to anyone.
I was such a sceptic, about using Aloe Vera before, I wish I had started using it earlier.
I would be happy to talk to anyone about it.

Constipation
I am 42 years old and have been taking Aloe Vera Gel from July 1996.
Being a constant sufferer from constipation and having tried all the various remedies from
the chemist, I have found since taking Aloe Vera that the relief has been tremendous and I
have become more regular and also suffer no side effects. Also, I am a shift worker, which
has contributed to my problem; and my general health has been much better since I started
taking Aloe Vera. I don't feel as tired or get as many colds or flu at this time of year.
Pearl Archibald, Coleraine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Since starting to take Aloe Vera Gel I have had a great relief from constipation. This at
times could have been very painful and unbearable, and very irregular. Thanks to the Gel I
now have a more regular cycle.

Damaged
Hair
Question: A customer of mine had badly damaged her scalp and hair
through frequent hair dye use. What can you suggest?
Answer; The frequent use of hair dyes, particularly those containing hydrogen peroxide (a
bleach) will lead to the blistering and damage of skin, breaking and killing of hair
follicles, even baldness. As peroxide is absorbed easily through the skin, it can also
cause toxicity in the blood stream and damage to the body's immune system. Where possible,
people should use preparations which do not contain peroxide to dye their hair. These are
becoming more available.
Forever Living Products which will help: the first is to use Aloe Shampoo and Conditioner
to revive the dead hair. The best way to do this is to mix one teaspoon of Aloe Activator
with two tablespoons of conditioner, rub into scalp and hair (roots only). Cover in a hot
towel and leave on for 30 minutes then shampoo. Repeat 3 times a week. Take 2 tablespoons
of Gel 3 times a day to assist with detoxification. Take I A-Beta-Care 3 times a day to
boost the immune system, speed up healing and improve skin and hair. Use Aloe First on
scalp, skin and hair to ease symptoms of itching, burning, skin or hair damage.

Dermatitis
For as long as I can remember
I have always had a reaction to various fruits, vegetables and cleaning agents, on my
hands. Wearing rubber or cotton gloves didn't help as the heat inside them would also
irritate and aggravate the skin.
I could not wear silver, do household cleaning, cut or handle raw potatoes, onions,
tomatoes, oranges, lemons or strawberries without having to pay the price.
My hands would blister, become red, sore, itchy and eventually crack and bleed. In 1992
they became very bad. I tried various hand creams, often having a reaction to the creams
themselves, and eventually prescription cortisone, which helped to keep it reasonably
controlled but it always take at least a week to start healing up.
I decided to consistently use the Activator and Propolis cream. I stopped using my
cortisone cream, Betnovate. For the first couple of days I was rather doubtful, but as I
found immediate relief of the itching, I decided to persist. Within the first week I had
total clearance.
I use the Aloe Propolis cream every day now as a general hand care cream. It's a great
first aid cream to have in the home and it's 'Forever' in use. I'd gladly recommend both
the Activator and the Propolis cream to anyone who is at their 'wit's end' with
dermatitis.
Julia O'B. top
In 1988 I began to feel
generally unwell most of the time. I noticed increasingly a problem with thirst and
tiredness. Blood tests showed nothing irregular but gradually the tiredness became
exhaustion and the thirst increased. I also became prone to infections of various types
and took many antibiotics. By 1990 the problem was becoming worse and one day in September
1992 I blacked out while teaching.
I was in hospital for almost three weeks at that time and many tests were done, including
a water deprivation test, which meant not even a sip of water for 24 hours. By this time I
was drinking 10-12 litres of water daily, so the test was severe. Blood and urine samples
were taken every hour during the test, which was to see if the body was producing ADH. The
test proved inconclusive and was repeated 48 hours later. A CT scan showed there to be
calcification on the pituitary and craniopharyngioma was diagnosed. I was told I had
diabetes insipidus, which is a rare form of diabetes, not related to insulin.
I was referred to the neurosurgeon who felt it best not to operate in the meantime but to
have regular scans including an MRI. I was put on Desmospray twice daily which is an
intranasal spray consisting of vasopressin. This stopped the excessive thirst problem.
However, I started to become very bloated. The hospital put me on a low calorie diet but
even with that and regular exercise I gained four stones in weight. Energy levels dropped
and I began to have a lot of sickness and was now being treated for a problem with stomach
lining (non-ulcerative).
In December 1994 I was told by my doctors to stop my job as a music teacher. I was granted
medical retirement at the age of 34 but had no choice, as I was physically unable to cope.
I was now on Desmospray, Zantac, beta-blockers and anti-depressants. My spirits were very
low and my blood pressure was very high.
On June 1st 1996 a friend introduced me to Aloe Vera Gel. I was very cynical about it and
felt it couldn't be of any real help, but by the end of the 2nd week I noticed a change -
a higher level of energy and I'd lost a few pounds due to the detoxifying effect. I still
thought it was a coincidence and didn't say to anyone as I felt the next day I'd be back
to square one. By the end of the 3rd week I was up 5-6 hours daily rather than 1-2. Each
week showed real improvement in many ways. Many people told me I was looking so different.
On 8th July I started taking Royal Jelly and Garlic & Thyme.
On 9th August I went to Scotland to help cook at a youth camp. In September I started back
to part-time teaching and am also doing 2 computing courses and a Christian counselling
course. That along with the FLP is a full-time job! I can hardly believe the change in my
whole body. I have lost the 4 stone I had gained and even the texture of hair and skin has
improved greatly. I am now off all medication. My own GP is amazed at what has happened in
the last few months.
Another important change is that I had very severe candida. I was attending hospital and
had several courses of Lamasil and various creams. I was not permitted to put my hands in
water; even washing hair had to be done wearing cotton-lined rubber gloves. My fingernails
had stopped growing and several of them were just flaking off and dying due to the yeast
fungus. I could not button up my clothes at times the pain in my fingers was so great. On
July 11th I went to hospital to have my thumb nail removed. I was told it would not grow
again and this was traumatic for me, as I am a pianist. I went on a heavier dose of Garlic
& Thyme, Gel and a yeast-free diet and within two weeks my thumbnail began to change
dramatically! There was no pain or irritation and the nail started to grow again. In fact
all my nails started to grow for the first time in years and I now have to file them
often. The thumbnail is now as normal as it can be, having been disfigured but there is
growth. Another miracle!!
So you can see why I am so excited about Aloe Vera!! And then there are all the other
people who I have watched start taking it, often cynically at the start and see how their
quality of life has improved in various ways thanks to ALOE VERA!!

My two little girls both have
glue ears and have been attending Craigavon Hospital on a regular basis, in fact every
month. One of them also has a perforation for which she is going to need a skin graft.
Their hearing was impaired. I started to use Aloe Activator each night. When they had
their monthly check-up, both ears had improved. The glue was drying up, their hearing was
perfect and the perforation is beginning to heal.
The consultant was very impressed when I told him what I had used as one of the children
had been prescribed Dimotane and couldn't take it as it made her very sleepy. Both these
children love Aloe Vera and tell all their friends about it.

Maura Hyland had eczema since
she was 2 years old. She had good days and bad days over the years.
September 1992 - Maura's fingers got a lot worse; sore, cracked and infected. She was
unable to write in school.
1st week in September - Washing fingers a lot less with Aloe Vera soap. 2 oz of Berry
Nectar
3-4 times per day. Sprayed the activator on fingers and applied Bee
Propolis Cream as often as possible.
2nd week in September - Same treatment - fingers worse.
3rd week in September - Same treatment continued - very slight improvement.
4th week in September - 4th bottle Berry Nectar and same skin treatment continued - great
improvement.
1st week in October - Berry Nectar twice per day. Bee Propolis Cream only - fingers
continued to improve.
2nd week in October - Berry Nectar every morning only. Bee Propolis Cream twice per day.
Fingers normal.

Eye Problems
In August I had to attend the eye clinic about a black spot in the field of vision in my
left eye. The consultant informed me that it was a floater and that I would have to live

After about two or three weeks I noticed that the black spot had totally gone.

I was introduced to Aloe Vera
Gel in December 1996. I was initially sceptical but as there were no side effects I
thought I would have nothing to lose.
I was very run down following scarlet fever and a severe flu. After 3 bottles of Aloe Vera
Gel I felt great. Benefits gained are as follows:
1. Increased energy
2. Weight loss
3. P.M.T. disappeared
4. Back pain disappeared
5. Sleep better.
My husband has taken Aloe Vera for joint pains with excellent results.
The products are excellent and are of a high quality. The high percentage of Aloe Vera
guarantees results.

In September 1996, I was
introduced to Aloe Vera through an invitation to Nigel Carlisle's home where a Mr. Wright
gave us a very interesting talk on the uses of Aloe Vera in its many different forms. I
was very impressed when he related to various incidents where people had been helped or
even cured of various illnesses.
I have from time to time suffered from bouts of Irritable Bowel Syndrome on various
occasions during the last ten years. Since I started to take Aloe Vera Gel in September I
would definitely say I feel much better. I also had suffered stiffness and soreness in my
left elbow, which has now gone completely.
I would say my general health is much better and there is a notable difference to my skin,
hair, etc. I would thoroughly recommend anyone to try this product as I reckoned at the
time that if it didn't do me any good, it certainly wouldn't do me any harm.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
I first went to a Forever Living Products meeting in May 1996. I was very impressed with
the products and the business and shortly after this I became a distributor, and also
commenced taking the Gel. I have had five positive improvements in my health.
1. I have overcome the problem of lack of energy.
2. I no longer have 'restless legs' at night and I sleep better.
3. A problem with dry skin has improved.
4. My neck tension is relieved.
5. My nails and hair are in much better condition.
I feel confident to recommend Aloe Gel as a general health tonic and also for specific
help in many problems. Also, regarding Propolis cream, I developed a painful and swollen
condition on my hands through contact with tile cement. I applied the cream liberally
every half-hour and within an evening the skin was clear.

Products and am happy with all, especially their sun lotion which doesn't let me waste any
sun or get burnt.

I have only used two Forever Living products so far:
Aloe Heat Lotion - My daughter who is 13 years old has a weak ankle and when it gets sore
I
apply the lotion and it gives relief.
Hand cream - I find this product really good since my hands get dry and rough very easily.
I
have tried many hand cream products but with the Aloe Vera, it lasts much
longer on my hands, it absorbs quickly and my hands feel soft and moisturised.
I have also an Aloe Vera plant. Only this weekend have I had to use it. I burnt my hand on
the oven. I applied the juice of a piece of my plant and was amazed to find instant
relief. I kept applying the juice a number of times over the next couple of hours and the
burn gave no more pain. I hope to try more products in the New Year.

I have used quite a number of the Forever Living Products and am very pleased with them. I
took the Aloe Vera Gel 3 times daily as recommended for 60 days and found it helpful with
my digestive system and also it gave me a feeling of general well-being and vitality. The
Nature-Min I would recommend as a great source of natural supply of the necessary minerals
lacking in most foods nowadays.
I have taken the Bee Propolis for headaches, colds, sore throats, etc. and to my relief it
has acted as a safe, natural antibiotic. I do not like taking antibiotics at all. I
prefer, if possible, to allow my body to fight off minor infections. I firmly believe the
body can do this with the help of Bee Propolis, thus building up the immune system.

Haemorrhoids
I have been suffering from 'Michael Miles', piles, for years until I was
introduced to Aloe Vera Gel. I started drinking the Gel three times a day (three fluid
ounces). Two weeks later I began to feel a difference, the pain had virtually gone. After
my second bottle, I'm glad to say I could sit without anymore pain. My 'Michael Miles' has
gone.

I was over at my friend's
house one day and we decided to wash our hair. I used their shampoo and conditioner, which
was in the bathroom. It was different to the types I had used before, so I asked Jennifer
what it was. Her mum came in at that moment and said it was Aloe Jojoba shampoo and
conditioner. It made my hair feel really clean and I am going to use it from now on.

I have had a problem with lank and greasy hair for some time now; that was until my mum, a
Forever Living Products distributor, introduced me to Aloe Vera Shampoo and Conditioner. I
find it nourishes my hair leaving it soft and manageable and with great shine. I have
tried many other supposedly brilliant shampoos and conditioners but these are without
comparison to the Aloe Vera products. I will continue to use them and due to my success I
would like to try some other Aloe Vera products.

For a long number of years I
have been troubled with stress and migraine headaches, trying the doctor's medicine and
pills to no avail. Just over three months ago I heard of Aloe Vera Gel; and putting this
to the test, in just two weeks I found I wasn't having the headaches I used to have. I
found myself a lot more at ease and after three months I am now completely free from all
the pain and anxiety I have suffered for years on end.

I have suffered for a number of years from extreme tiredness and tension pain in my neck
and shoulders, which resulted in severe headaches. In June of this year I was having a
headache every other day and was feeling very run down. So when I heard about Aloe Vera I
decided to try it as a tonic. After about 3 weeks I suddenly realised I hadn't had a
headache for over a week and my shoulders/neck tension was easing. I have been taking the
Aloe Vera gel daily since July, and now in December I don't know myself I feel so well. I
rarely have any headaches - only when I seriously overdo things pushing myself too far. My
energy level is way up and I have real freedom in my neck and shoulders. I am so thankful
to God for the benefits I have experienced from this wonderful plant, which he has
provided for our good.

I am 15 years old
and have suffered migraine headaches for the last few years. I also suffer from asthma and
for a while I was having a lot of attacks. I began to take Aloe Vera Gel twice a day from
September 1996. I can honestly say that my state of health has improved greatly. My
headaches occur a lot less than usual and are not as bad as they used to be. I also
haven't had an asthma attack since starting the Gel. It has improved my quality of life.

Having had a
consultation with David de Gernier on the 7th of May 1997, I was told that I had an
intolerance to sugar, dairy products, peppers, tomatoes, and red meat. I was advised to
avoid these as they were causing inflammation in the joints and giving me problems with my
stomach. I was to take two table spoons of Aloe Vera Gel three times per day, Garlic &
Thyme three times a day, honey and Royal Jelly. I have taken all these products
faithfully. Early one morning I woke up with heartburn and pain, I reached for my Losec
tablets but decided to put the honey to test. I went downstairs and took one tablespoon of
honey and it immediately took the pain away. I went back to bed and had a good night's
sleep. Thank you Aloe Vera!

Our son David,
age 6, had a very infected finger. He had torn the hangnail and the whole area around the
nail was green with pus. He wouldn't let me go near his finger because it hurt so much. I
told him to spray the Activator on it. When he was going to bed, I sprayed the activator
on it again and bandaged his finger with Propolis Cream. When I checked his finger later
that night, while he was sleeping, I removed the bandage and sprayed it again with
Activator. The next morning he showed me his finger - the infection had all cleared away.
There was no sign of pus and he was able to touch the area. Within a week, the wound was
covered again with new skin.

I have been
suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome for 6 years. A friend of mine suggested that I try
Aloe Vera Gel. I have been taking it for 5 weeks and already I feel a lot healthier, calm

Michelle Crown.
------------------------------------------------------
I am a 57 year old grandmother who, for most of my life, has enjoyed good health. The only
real problem I endured, from the age of 7, was very severe migraine. Over a long period
you do learn to cope, difficult as it is.
Approximately 2 years ago I noticed great changes in my bowel functions. I suffered severe
diarrhoea, pain, etc. As my mother had a malignant bowel tumour, you can imagine my
feelings.
My doctor sent me immediately to a specialist. I had every test imaginable and was finally
diagnosed as suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I also had the added
complication of a motility problem which caused terrible chest pains. I was put on
medication and told to carry on. I had to watch what I ate as some things, cabbage,
lettuce, beans, etc. make the symptoms very much worse.
For the next 18 months I existed. This was a very miserable time, afraid to go places in
case I couldn't find a toilet, at this time my bowels were moving 5-10 times a day and I
was constantly in pain. I really felt life was not worth living and at one point felt the
diagnosis was wrong and I was on my way out.
In September 1995 my husband and I spent a weekend in North Wales and I was lucky enough
to hear spiritualist healer Helen Parry Jones talk about Aloe Vera Gel. She said it was
wonderful for all sorts of ailments and as at that time I was particularly low, I decided
to try it.
October 1st 1995 I started taking Aloe Vera Gel and I now have my life back. I no longer
take any medication and also I no longer have to know where every toilet in the area is
located.
You will know of side effects of conventional medication. Well, I have side advantages
from Aloe Vera Gel. My migraine is no longer severe, the flashing lights, etc. are over in
15 minutes, I am left with a very severe headache but this I can cope with. I also had a
great number of brown age spots which have reduced greatly.
I have complete faith in Aloe Vera Gel and will continue to recommend it to all and
sundry, as this has been my lifesaver.

Michele Porter, a hairdresser from Belfast, was diagnosed as suffering from Irritable
Bowel Syndrome. She said the pain she suffered was excruciating, and unless she dosed
herself with a lot of painkillers she had no relief from this pain.
Michele explains "When I was told about Aloe Vera I thought I had nothing to lose so
I drank my first bottle in a week, because I was told this would detoxify my body. When I
began drinking my second bottle the pain completely disappeared."
"I have been drinking Aloe Vera Gel since last November and I have not had an attack
since. I am so impressed with Aloe Vera that I think everyone should try it no matter what
symptoms they have."

For me Aloe Lips
has been a success. I have always made use of Boots brand lipbalms but was introduced to
Forever Living's Aloe Lips by Nigel Carlisle. Since using it my lips have been much softer
and they have not been dry or sore. I would recommend Aloe Lips to anyone and especially
those who have any problems or suffer with their lips.

In May 1994 I was
taken into hospital with chest pains, pains down my arms and I was finding it hard to
breathe; all sorts of things seemed to be going wrong. All these symptoms had been
occurring over the year before, but now the pains were very severe. I was diagnosed as
having ME and there is no real cure. I had more 'downs' than 'ups' and in 1996 I had
myself convinced that I could be done without; I even felt my own children could do
without me, I was at an all time low and I was deeply depressed. I had also been on
antidepressants for over a year as well as other sorts of tablets. Then I was introduced
to Aloe Vera Gel in November 1996: by Christmas I was a totally different person. I was
taking 60 mils per day, and then I started taking Royal Jelly and Bee Pollen. I work in a
supermarket 5 days a week 8 hours per day, something I could not have kept up if it wasn't
for Aloe Vera. I can't imagine life without Aloe Vera Gel.

At the beginning of this year Coleraine schoolboy, David Anderson, was almost crippled
with the debilitating illness Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) but now he is making a
splash in the world of swimming - thanks to Aloe Vera Gel! Aged just 11, David is already
a firm believer in the power of herbal medicine and he claims that Aloe Vera (the juice of
a cactus-like plant) has literally transformed his life.
David contracted ME when he was just nine years old and for the past two years he has
spent more of his life in bed or lying on the sofa than at school and enjoying the myriad
activities which most school boys indulge in.
All that changed when David's mother, Mrs Belinda Anderson (now a distributor with Forever
Living Products) was recommended Aloe Vera Gel and within a month of taking the Gel David
was not only well enough to go back to school, but he was also well enough to take part in
and win the school Swimming Championship at Milburn Primary School.
Despite his illness, David battled his aches and pains to fit in at least one swim per
week. The buoyant effect of the water helped take the strain off his sore limbs and even
though at times he was unable to walk without severe pain, he found he could cope well in
the swimming pool.
"It is hard to believe that David is the same little boy who at the beginning of this
year was so ill all he could do was lie on the sofa and sleep" explained his mum,
Belinda.
"In March he went to a swimming club event where he had to leave the water after just
four lengths - now he is fit and healthy and he was delighted to carry off the breast
stroke and butterfly titles as well as coming third in the front crawl to win the school
championship.
"Aloe Vera has totally transformed his life and when he attends Milburn School Prize
Day later this month to collect his swimming trophy he will be the proudest young man
there," she smiled.
"He still has ME but the Aloe Vera Gel allows him to enjoy a freedom from pain which
he didn't have before". Now that he is well enough to go back to school, David is
back in the swim at Coleraine Swimming Club and he hopes soon to recommence his singing
with the school choir, his membership of the scouts and his elocution lessons. A talented
cartoonist, he spends much of his free time sketching characters from comics and when he
is not doing that he enjoys playing football near his home.
"David has got his life back thanks to Aloe Vera - the Gel seems to be agreeing with
him!" said his mum Belinda.

I have suffered
with migraine type headaches for about 20 years. About 15 years ago, I was told it was
food intolerance; but I still got my headaches, which lasted for 3 days at a time. Since I
got my first tub of Aloe Vera Gel in April I have only had three very light headaches,
lasting only I day each time. I have also noticed that I seem to have more energy.
Margaret Sinclair. top
I was diagnosed
to be suffering from Multiple Sclerosis in 1983. From that time on my condition
deteriorated each year. I attend the R.V.H. Belfast for regular check-ups as well as
attending my own doctor. I have been on medication for the whole of this time. I have had
pain killers, sleeping tablets and steroids, these only helped to put weight on me which
didn't make me look or feel any better. By the spring of 1993 I was having difficulty in
walking more than about 600yds and climbing stairs.
Then my husband (who had been buying different products from health food shops to try and
help me) was introduced to Forever Living Products by a friend. He asked John O'Brien if
it could help anyone with MS and John said it might. John advised me to take Aloe Vera
Gel, Nature Min and Bee Pollen. I tried this and within weeks the improvement was
staggering. Within 6 weeks of starting to take Aloe Vera I was able to go on holiday to
England during which I walked as much as 5 or 6 miles sometimes.
When I first started I would take the Gel 3 times a day (you will have to work out the
amount that suits yourself), 2 Nature Min 3 times a day and 2 Bee Pollen 3 times a day. I
have cut down on the amount of Gel I take and also on the Bee Pollen, but I cannot cut
down on the Nature Min.
Over the years like anyone else who suffers from MS I have remissions and I can say that
this is not a remission.
I hope that this will be of some help and hope for anyone in my position.

During September
I purchased a heat lotion from Forever Living Products to try to help my sore knee. My leg
had been very sore and was getting worse. Eventually it got so painful I found it
difficult to get into the car. I began to rub the heat lotion on my knee every evening.
Before long I noticed a considerable change. My knee was not as painful and I found I
could move a lot easier than before. I continued to use the heat lotion resulting in my
knee being completely cured. I would recommend Forever Living Products to anyone.

I have been taking Aloe Vera Gel for only a short time and have found that my aching

I have been a car

I would have tried anything to get relief. Sure enough after the first application my neck
was moving again. I use it morning and night. I also use the Toothgel as it keeps my teeth
really white and keeps my mouth fresh all day.

I am a mother of
two children and I work full time while running a home. I like to think I can balance all
three and keep ahead of colds and flues. Last Easter, however, I caught pneumonia and was
quite ill for four weeks. I lost one stone in weight and felt very weak. I returned to
work and started taking Aloe Vera Gel. I took some every morning for the next 5/6 weeks. I
felt stronger and less tired as time went on. I have found all the Aloe Vera products that
I have used since then to be of excellent quality. Unfortunately I cannot afford to buy
Aloe Vera products on a regular basis, but I certainly would if I found myself in a better
financial position.

Last May I went
into hospital for an operation. A week beforehand I started taking Forever Living Aloe
Vera Gel. I knew it would help me through my ordeal because of all the minerals, vitamins
and amino acids it contained. It helped to clean the anaesthetic out of my system and
helped the healing process. I was bouncing with health and vitality 5 weeks after my
operation and itching to get back to work. I was instructed by my doctor to wait for six
weeks before attempting to return to work and this I did. I was able to enjoy the summer
and did not feel drained and tired as one sometimes does after an anaesthetic. I am going
to take Aloe Vera Gel through the winter to keep me in good shape.

I am a staff
nurse and in July 1996 I was diagnosed with post-viral fatigue. I had been an extremely
fit and active person. I was able to jog, swim and work out regularly during a seven-day
period. The illness affected me in many ways. I was constantly tired. I was unable to
carry out even the smallest of chores around the house without feeling I had completed a
marathon. I had to constantly rest. I was always dizzy, felt agitated and experienced
twitching in my legs. My vision was also affected and my arms and legs were very weak.
Life was getting very much depressing and the doctors could offer me nothing.
I am so thankful to have been told about Aloe Vera and Forever Living Products from a
friend. I attended a seminar by David de Gernier and started taking the Gel 3 times daily
along with Propolis tablets 2-3 times daily, Garlic & Thyme 1-3 times daily, Royal
Jelly 2-3 times daily and Bee Pollen 2-3 times daily. I experienced mild headaches but
this was a boost to me knowing that the detox process was working. After 3 months I felt a
lot better. I had more energy and was able to get out for short walks. In October 1997 I
was able to get back to work part-time and I am now full-time feeling 100%.

Question: Is Aloe
Vera Gel safe to take during pregnancy? what other FLP products are useful in pregnancy?
Answer: This is a
question that I am asked regularly. Possibly because most herbal books and practitioners
advise against the use of Aloe Vera in pregnant or breast-feeding women. The reason for
this advice is that herbalists who write these books tend to do their research by reading
other books, and plagiarising the contents. Certainly the use of an Aloe Vera preparation
which uses the whole leaf of Aloe Barbadensis (all that was available when the original
herbals were written) would not be suitable during pregnancy as it acts as a violent
cathartic (laxative and purgative). However, Forever Living Products Aloe Vera Gel is
perfectly safe and has many benefits for the pregnant or breast-feeding mother. It will
help keep constipation at bay, it will assist the body by providing and helping assimilate
the vitamins, minerals and amino acids necessary for good health in the mother and baby.
It will ease morning sickness, lower blood pressure and stabilise hormonal upsets. It will
help fight bladder and urinary infections and will kill Candida bacteria which causes
thrush in pregnant women and breast-fed babies. Royal Jelly will help hormone balance. The
use of Aloe Gelly rubbed into the skin will help with problem skin, veins, piles and avoid
stretch marks. A-Beta-Care is vital during pregnancy for many body functions and will help
hair and skin condition.

When I was 21
years old I took 'dry spots' on my elbows. I just thought it was dry skin, but after a few
months these dry spots were erupting all over my body.
I eventually plucked up the courage to go to my doctor, who confirmed I had psoriasis. I
had never heard of psoriasis before, I didn't know what had caused it or how I was going
to get rid of it. The doctor gave me a briefing about psoriasis and how to keep it at bay.
I was sent home with a tube of steroid cream.
I used this cream to try and keep the psoriasis at bay, but it seemed to be appearing on
other parts of my body. I was getting worse instead of better. Within the next few months
I was covered in it. I couldn't sleep at night with the pain and I would scratch my body
until it bled. I cried every time I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and asked
myself 'Why me?' I couldn't bear the stress it was causing me so I went back to the
doctor.
When he saw me he put me in hospital straight away. There they treated me with more creams
and bandaged me up like a mummy. Every other day they would give me ultraviolet light
treatment. The nurse saw a slight change in my skin but I couldn't see any. I was in
hospital for 8 weeks when the skin unit at Ballymoney Hospital closed down, so I didn't
get my treatment finished.
My psoriasis calmed down a little and I was able to sleep better at nights. I read a lot
of leaflets and books about psoriasis but they all said there was no cure. I went abroad
every year to the sun as this was supposed to help. It did help a little but when I came
home the psoriasis would just erupt again. I thought I would never see my own skin again.
I read about a faith healer in the local paper called Danny Gallagher. I decided anything
was worth a try. I travelled three times to Belfast to see him and paid £30. I waited and
waited for my psoriasis to disappear but it never happened.
By this stage I was trying to come to terms with having psoriasis, but none really
understands how you really feel unless they have experienced it. I kept myself covered
well with long-sleeved tops and trousers so no one knew I had psoriasis except for my
family and close friends.
A friend had suggested going to Bangor to a lady called Deirdre who would tell me what was
causing the condition and what I was allergic to. I attended her a few times paying her
£35 each visit. It was expensive but I didn't care about the price, as I would have paid
any amount to be cured. She told me foods I was allergic to, like yeast, dairy products,
etc. She gave me a long list of products not to eat. I got fed up with this because at 8
stone I couldn't afford to go on a diet and lose more weight.
Four years had passed and still no cure. I went back to the doctor again in desperation as
I couldn't bend my knees without them cracking and bleeding, and my hands were so bad I
couldn't write my name. My face was the only unaffected part of me. I was put in hospital
again and went through the same treatment. After a few weeks I signed myself out, as I
couldn't afford to be off work as I was getting married in a few months. My dream was to
have my skin clear for my wedding day as my fiancé had never saw my skin clear. I
attended the hospital for the next 4 months as an outpatient. My skin was quite clear when
I got married. I still had red blotches but I was able to disguise them with make-up. My
skin was at its best but not completely clear.
I still had outbreaks and had to go back to the hospital regularly for PUVA treatment and
hoped someday there would be a cure. But I was starting to give up.
My husband had met Edith McCurdy one day and she was telling her about my psoriasis and
she had told him about 'Aloe Vera'. I had heard of Aloe Vera before but I had tried so
many treatments I had lost faith in everything. When my husband brought me the bottle of
Aloe Vera Gel to try and leaflets to read I thought it would be worth a try. I phoned
Edith and she explained it might take a few bottles before I even noticed a slight change.
So I started taking Aloe Vera Gel for a few weeks, but with no change. After nearly four
months my skin was starting to clear and I treated myself to a sleeveless dress for
Christmas. It felt great to have my arms bare and clear. I kept on taking Aloe Vera and my
skin was looking good. My family couldn't believe their eyes. I have been taking Aloe Vera
for the past 7 months and my skin is crystal clear. It's unbelievable. I feel great and
it's hard to imagine my skin being covered in those disgusting red spots for so long. I am
just glad I tried Aloe Vera and I wouldn't be without it now. Anon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Since using Aloe Vera Gel, Cream and Shampoo my psoriasis has really cleared up now in all
affected places. Anything I had got from the chemist hadn't worked as fast or as
effectively as these products did. I am very happy with the treatment.

I had a problem with psoriasis on my hands, and as I work in a kitchen my hands were
constantly in water and I could not get the matter cleared up. A colleague had been to a

tube and within a short time of using it my hands were well healed. I have also used the
Moisture Lotion and find it equally good.

In 1991, my face,
generally quite sensitive to various creams, soap , etc., became drastically worse. I had
often suffered from rashes and spots off and on but usually I managed to maintain a fairly
healthy complexion.
My face became covered in bright red itchy patches, blisters and lots of swelling,
especially around the cheekbones. I became very self-conscious and housebound. My doctor
was quite taken aback when he saw me and immediately prescribed Betnovate and later on,
Locoid Cortisone creams.
When the creams were having little effect after 3-4 weeks I visited a dermatologist at our
city hospital. I had patch tests which discovered an allergy to a chemical often found in
some water-based cosmetics and paints.
He suggested I continue with the cortisone and increased the percentage cortisone cream.
After a further week or so I became very discouraged and decided to stop using cortisone
when a friend suggested I use the Activator, which I did. I had immediate relief from the
itching and the swelling was reduced within a few hours. Within a week my skin was almost
completely cleared and by the second week completely normal.
Since that time the only products I use on my skin are Forever Living Products. I use
Exfoliating Cleanser to remove eye make-up, wash with Aloe Liquid Soap and use the
Activator to tone and moisturise.
I would recommend the Activator for all skin types and skin problems. It worked for me!

I have been
troubled with sinus infections for the last five years and have had many blinding
headaches. When I attended my first Aloe Vera meeting, Colin Wright said the Activator was
for sinus trouble. I shouted 'Here let me try!' and everyone laughed. But I tried it right
then and there because my head had been pounding for days with sinus trouble. I used it 4
times that evening and 4 times when I got home. The next morning I blew my nose and the
sinus suddenly released and the infection started to drain. What relief! I had to use the
Activator several times that week and on and off the next few months but I have not had a
seriously blocked sinus since then. Many thanks to the Aloe Activator.

Living in a
seaside resort always means harsh weather, sun, snow, wind and rain of course. My skin,
which is dry, always suffers. I found using Aloe moisturising lotion helped protect my
skin from all elements. It has a pleasant scent and absorbs quickly into the skin, keeping
my skin looking smooth and soft. Aloe moisturising lotion is great to wear under my make
up.

Our three children have at times had minor skin rashes and irritations. Aloe Vera
Activator, Lotion and Propolis cream have always proved invaluable.
Our son, Aaron, had very dry chafed skin in his armpits. I applied activator and Propolis
cream and it cleared. He also had a rough rash on his back and I used activator and
sometimes lotion and it cleared within a week.
Our daughter, Emma, had a patch of psoriasis (runs in family history) on her leg, which I
detected early. I applied activator and Propolis cream twice and it has disappeared and
never returned.
Our daughter, Amy, had rash and patches of what looked like psoriasis coming up on her
back and arms. I applied activator and Propolis cream. It started clearing up the
following day and was completely gone in two weeks.
For all skin problems I believe the ACTIVATOR, PROPOLIS CREAM and LOTION are the finest
topical applications.

"Forever Living Aloe Vera Gel every day". Seeing is believing and I just had to

In July this year
I represented Ireland in the European Junior Surfing Championships in Portugal. The
temperature was very hot - about 450C. As I spent almost all of time in the water I got a
bit too much of the sun. During the evenings I applied the Aloe Suntan Lotion and found it
had a considerable soothing effect. Indeed, practically all the others in the Surf Team
discarded their familiar brand named aftersuns in favour of my Aloe Suntan Lotion. We all
found that when using the ordinary aftersuns our skin would tend to burn again after
approximately 20 minutes, however with the Aloe Suntan Lotion the burning was gone for the
rest of the evening and sleeping was not a problem.
I was so impressed with the Aloe suntan Lotion that I intend to get more of it for the
Surfing World Championships to be held in California in September this year.

I was gluing two
plastic containers together with Super Glue 3 when I was accidentally bumped. One of the
containers flew upwards hitting my eye. The glue started to solidify almost immediately,
scratching and burning the eyeball. I had my eye treated at our local hospital where I was
told that I would not be able to see from it for about a week to 10 days.
When I got home I removed the dressing, dropped neat Activator into my eye and soaked the
dressing in Activator. I repeated this often, as it helped to soothe and relieve the pain.
I was able to use my eye by the next day and had complete recovery of vision by the third
day.

I went to see a
friend of mine one day who happens to be a Forever Living Aloe Vera Distributor. I was in
agony as I had just had all my teeth out a few days previously, and new plates to replace
them were put in. She said she had Aloe Vera Gelly that would help me. I put it on right
away and got great relief. I took it home with me and put it on all through the night and
for the next few days. I went back to the dentist the following week and he said he never
saw a mouth heal up so quickly.

A while ago I had a wisdom tooth removed. As soon as I got home I applied Aloe Vera Gelly
and then applied it frequently throughout the day. I felt there was still a piece of tooth
left in the gum and went back to the dentist the following day to have it removed. She was
absolutely amazed at the healing that had occurred and said it had healed in one day and
would normally take three or four days.

I was thrown off
a young horse a number of years ago and I chipped a rib which healed trapping a nerve.
On a couple of occasions the nerve endings in that area have become inflamed sending a
persistent stabbing pain up my side, shoulder and down my arm. I have had great relief
rubbing in the Activator and Heat Lotion.

A cut on my leg
developed into a varicose ulcer - very painful and difficult to clear up. None of the
creams tried in the hospital had any effect and I decide to use only Aloe Vera Gelly. In a
short time the district nurse who was calling daily to dress the ulcer noticed a change -
healing was taking place from the inside and new tissue was forming. I continued to use
the Gelly and am thankful to say that the ulcer is now completely healed.

I have a customer who has been bed-ridden for the past 10 years due to a severe stroke.
She is being cared for in her own home by four nurses doing shift work.
She had a very bad ulcer on her hip - a large hole in fact and very nasty. None of the
conventional medicines were helping.
I recommended the Gel and to use the Activator and Propolis cream which totally cleaned up
the infection and then we switched to Activator and Gelly. The wound has completely closed
in and new skin is forming on the original infected area. This took approximately three
months as the ulcerated hip was in very bad condition. All connected with this case are
astounded.

I've been in poor health now for several years. My doctor says "It's too many
birthdays". Not much help for that!
One night, having put in a miserable few days, my nephew Sam Magill, a distributor with
Forever Living Products, came to see me. He gave me a bottle of Aloe Vera and said
"try this, it may help your stomach". Well, I tried and it did indeed help. At
about the same time I'd taken a leg ulcer and Samuel said to keep taking the Gel. I knew
it had helped my sister so I stayed on it, feeling more sure of its success. Sure enough
the ulcer got better and is now healed. A great result I think!! I can recommend it to one
and all.
