Summer Time is Aloe Vera Time

It's cool to drink, rub on the body, and use Aloe Vera Products by Real Aloe, Inc.

According to Ayurveda Medicine, drinking Aloe Vera juice cools the body from summer heat and humidity while providing the necessary nutritional vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

It's great for anyone working outside in the heat; athletes during two-a days, OTAs, gardeners, runners, along with anyone working and playing outdoors.


In our opinion, Aloe Vera aids the body internally and externally while absorbing supplements by 200%!

ALOE VERA is "Truly Healing"!

Copyright © 2010
June 2010


Indigenous Ancestors knew 6,000 years ago about "the medicine plant" or "Heaven’s Blessing" known as ALOE VERA being Latin for "truly healing!" It’s translated as Sabila in Spanish, "Alloeh or Sabbar" in Arabic meaning bitter. In East Africa, growing these plants around their loved one’s graves fostered the belief that when the plants flowered, the deceased had been admitted to heaven. We find its uses in the medical field and cosmetics by many generations of Africans, Moroccans, Tunisians, Persians, Greeks, Arabians, Indians, Chinese and Japanese. The Hindu people thought that Aloe Vera grew in the Garden of Eden and named it the "Silent Healer".

The New Testament (John 19:39) references Nicodemus coming by night and bringing a mixture of Myrrh and ALOE to embalm Jesus’ body. In Psalm 45:8a, "All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia." Aloes were used on the occasion of King Solomon’s wedding. Other Biblical References to Aloe Vera include: Proverbs 7:17, St. John 19:39, Numbers 24:6 and Solomon 4:14.

Aloe’s thick, tapered, spiny leaves grow from a short stalk near ground level. It’s not a cactus, but a member of the tree lily family, know as Aloe Barbadensis. This is evident from the tubular yellow flowers produced annually in the spring that resembles those of the Easter lily. Aloe’s related to other members of the Lily family such as onion, garlic and turnip.

FIVE MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS OF ALOE VERA

  • PAIN INHIBITOR (Takes away the hurt and itching.)
  • ANTIMICROBIAL (Gives resistance to infection – Natural Anti-biotic).
  • ASTRINGENT (Tightens Tissue and Restores Skin Tone)
  • BIOGENIC STIMULATOR (Increases cell growth for more rapid healing.)
  • SCAR INHIBITOR (Helps restore normal tissue.)

MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES comprise the five major characteristics in ALOE VERA mentioned above.

ALOE VERA GEL & NUTRITION: In modern food processing, many vital parts are removed, lost and delicate enzymes destroyed that are essential to food’s assimilation and chemical processes in the body’s system. An enzyme-starved die-t is a chief cause of poor health and premature aging. Cells and tissues require constant nourishment and ALOE VERA GEL aids this process by assisting in the absorption of foods, vitamins and nutrients, thereby giving you more health for your money.

ALOE VERA GEL is naturally rich in:
VITAMIN C & E maintain tissues, adrenal glands, and circulatory system along with protecting the body from stress.

AMINO ACIDS are protein building blocks.

ENZYMES are required for natural raw food and human constitution.

POTASSIUM stimulates the kidneys, the heart, and is responsible for the cell’s electrical potential.

CALCIUM aids blood clotting, activates enzymes, and regulates the heart, controls muscle contraction and relaxation.

SODIUM with POTASSIUM maintains normal pH, water-level balance and nerve transmission.

MANGANESE is required as an enzyme catalyst for food digestion, nutrient extraction, immune system support, and lactation.

MAGNESIUM protects against kidney stones, angina and coronary thrombosis.

SILICON combines minerals to create tooth enamel, bones, tissue, joints, hair, nails and skin.

IRON carries oxygen vital for red blood cell production.

LITHIUM conserves IODINE, raising the POTASSIUM level, which is effective in relieving manic depression.

ZINC prevents colds and flu, while strengthening the immune system and promoting healing.

ALOE VERA GEL is one of the finest body and colon cleansers by removing morbid matter from the stomach, liver, kidneys, spleen and bladder while purifying the blood. When you take ALOE VERA GEL with meals, it’s an excellent internal tonic for energy and well being, while strengthening your blood, digestive tract, skin and promoting overall good health. Recent studies show taking vitamins and other supplements with ALOE VERA juice will increase their absorption by up to 200% versus taking them with water.

The products that we use are absorbed through our skin and can go directly into our bloodstream. A good rule of thumb for ANY product application (and especially make-up) is to consider "Whatever I put ON my body, I should be able to put IN my body!" Ensure that your ALOE VERA products are ORGANIC never frozen, freeze-dried or reconstituted from a powder, non-genetically engineered (non-GMO), Kosher, Vegan, and processed in the USA. ALOE VERA contains over 39 essential vitamins, minerals and all 23 amino acids. In fact, ALOE VERA is the only plant from approximately 150,000 botanicals containing this many beneficial nutrients that are essential to life’s existence. ALOE VERA’s secret curative quality is not only in its component ingredients, but also in its high oxygen carrying capacity essential to sustaining life. The pure juice contains more oxygen molecules than fluids of any known plant! You’re urged to give ALOE VERA a fair trial. By tuning in to ALOE VERA, you may be tuning out a lot of unnecessary pain & suffering for yourself, family and friends.

Nature’s Amazing Summertime Secret!

Copyright © 2010
July 2010


ALOE VERA
is a member of the tree lily family, know as Aloe barbadensis Miller. Originally native to Africa, aloes are now found in many places throughout the world. There are more than 300 documented varieties of aloes, 170 of which are found in South Africa. Aloes have been cultivated for many years with the cape aloe (aloe ferox) and the snake aloe (aloe broomii) being depicted on a South African rock more than 250 years ago. Temple paintings from Ancient Kemet illustrated aloe vera used medicinally and a part of the embalming formula. Europe used it in the 10th century and China during the 11th century.


According to Ayurvedic Medicine, since Aloe Vera is the coolest plant on the planet, drinking Real Aloe Vera ® juices and gel will chill the body from summer heat and humidity nourishing you with over 39 essential vitamins, 47 macro and trace minerals, and all 23 amino acids. In fact, Aloe Vera is the only plant of approximately 150,000 botanicals that contain this many nutrients that are essential to life’s existence. Educational research and clinical trials support aloe vera’s anti-inflammatory and healing qualities. Please read the article, ALOE VERA is "Truly Healing"! for further explanation and information on how aloe works in the body.


It's great for anyone working and playing outdoors outside in the heat: 30-minute workouts, athletes during two-a days workouts and Off Season Training Activities (OTAs), roofers, painters, landscapers, gardeners, runners, walkers, hikers, campers, fishermen, tailgaters, etc.

I personally use products that are 100% certified ORGANIC ALOE VERA, KOSHER, VEGAN Certified, 100% GROWN and MANUFACTURED in the U.S.A. vs. aloe vera grown and imported from Korea, Taiwan, China and Mexico. By using the traditional "Inner Leaf" Hand-Fillet inner gel containing most of the beneficial parts of the plant, it is as close to "straight from the plant" as the preservation process allows. As an excellent internal tonic for energy and well-being, personally, I find it convenient to partake of this ALOE VERA JUICE, FLAVORED JUICE or GEL upon waking and with meals. The nutritional benefits of incorporating aloe vera have naturally become a part of my daily consumption, adding greatly to the strength of my blood, digestive tract, skin and overall good health and happiness.
