מים בריאים תוכן ענינים: הצורך בטיהור מי השתיה TDS -מדד איכות נקיון המים מבנה מנגנון הסינון של מערכות RO בחירת מערכת RO מערכות עם מיכל אגירה החסרונות העיקריים של מערכת RO עם מיכל אגירה מערכות ללא מיכל אגירה הקריטריונים לבחירת מערכת RO שיעור יציב של דחיית מוצקים מעל 95% מסנני GAC ו-CTO - מ-100% פחמן קליפת קוקוס קצב זרימת מים מטוהרים תצוגת TDS של מי הזנה ומים מטוהרים החלפת מסננים מנגנון שטיפה אוטומאטי ווסתי לחץ נמוך וגבוה בכניסת המים למערכת היחס בין מים מטוהרים למים שמוזרמים לביוב שימוש בחומרי פלסטיק שאינם מגירים רעלים מסנן שלב אחרון להוספת בסיסיות ומינרלים למים המטוהרים הצורך בטיהור מי השתיה TDS - מדד איכות נקיון המים הצורך בטיהור מי השתיה בימים אלה, ביישובים רבים, איכות מי השתייה לוקה בחסר בשל אוסף של רעלים שעלולים להיות מומסים בהם, כגון אלומיניום, כרום, כספית, עופרת, פלואוריד, קוטלי עשבים, פסטסידים, חומרי חיטוי כמו כלור, כלורמין וכלור דו חמצני שיכולים לפגוע במערכות רבות, לרבות המערכת ההורמונאלית, ויטמינים וחומצות שומן, פגיעה בבקטריות שמסייעות לנו בתוך מערכת העיכול ועוד. בנוסף יש ברעלנים אלה מזהמים מחוללי מחלות כמו פרזיטים, וחיידקים ואחרים. לטיהור המיים מקובל לבחור בין שתי שיטות - טיהור מים בהרתחה ואוסמוזה הפוכה RO (R everse O smosis). לא רק ששתיית מים מטוהרים טובה יותר לעור ועוזרת במניעת תסמיני הזדקנות, אלא שהיא גם יכולה לעזור להפחית את הסיכון מבעיות בריאותיות גדולות ולהגן על המשפחה שלך מפני מזהמים מזיקים. מערכות לזיקוק מים ומערכות אוסמוזה הפוכה הן השיטות המקובלות לטיהור מים. אין ספק שזיקוק מים יפיק מים "מטוהרים". בעוד ששתי השיטות מסירות מזהמים, מים מזוקקים טהורים יותר בגלל תהליך ההרתחה. עם זאת, לשימוש במכשירי זיקוק ביתיים שתי מגבלות - הצורך בניקוי לאחר זיקוק כפי שניתן לראות בסרטון המראה את המשקע שנשאר לאחר זיקוק 1 ליטר של מי ברז (דקה 0:40), ומה נדרש לעשות כדי לנקות את המשקע. בנוסף, יש למלא במים באופן ידני, שוב ושוב את המזקק. החלופה של אוסמוזה הפוכה (RO) דורשת תחזוקה נמוכה בהרבה, ומייצרת איכות טובה מאוד של מים מטוהרים במחיר נמוך מאוד, כל זאת, בתנאי שבחירת המערכת ותחזוקתה מתבצעים תוך הכרות בסיסית של הפרמטרים הקובעים את איכות המים המופקים ממנה. TDS - מדד איכות (נקיון) המים Total Dissolved Solids (TDS ) - או "סה"כ מומסים במים" - "מד TDS יזהה כל יונים טעונים במים, שיכולים לכלול יונים טעונים חיובית כגון סידן, נתרן, מגנזיום ואשלגן או יונים טעונים שלילי כגון קרבונט, מימן קרבונט, כלוריד, סולפט ניטראט ועוד". למים המטוהרים ניתן להוסיף סידן, מגנזיום, אשלגן ועוד (כפי שאמנם נעשה ע"י הסנן האחרון ברוב מערכות ה RO), אך קודם לכן יש צורך להגיע למים מטוהרים עד כמה שניתן, כלומר לקבל רמת TDS הנמוכה ביותר שהמערכת מסוגלת להפיק. ה TDS של מים מזוקקים עומד על 0.5 ppm או פחות, אז בפשטות, ככל שה-TDS נמוך יותר כך המים טהורים יותר! הדרישה למערכות טיהור ביתיות נובעת קודם כל מהצורך להסיר מזהמי מים פוטנציאליים כמו כספית, עופרת... קוטלי עשבים, חומרי הדברה... זה החלק הקשה (כפי שמוסבר להלן) מכיוון שגודלם של מזהמים מתכתיים למשל הוא בטווח של 0.0001 עד 0.001 מיקרון .הסרת חלקיקים כאלה מהמים דורשת שגודל נקבוביות הממברנה במערכת RO לא יהיה גדול מ-0.0001 מיקרון . כך למשל, הגודל של אטומי יון עופרת הם 0.000154 מיקרומטר . גודל זה של נקבוביות הממברנה, הופך אותה ליעילה גם בהסרה של פתוגנים כמו ווירוסים שגודלם נע בין 0.02 - 0.5 מיקרון, תאי חיידקים שגודלם נע בטווח של 1 עד 10 מיקרון באורך ו 0.2 ל-1 מיקרון ברוחב". Mycoplasma genitalium נחשב לפרזיט הקטן ביותר והוא בגודל של כ 0.2 מיקרון. כאשר מערכת ה RO מייצרת מים טהורים - קל ליישם בעזרת הסנן הסופי (אחרי הממברנה) את התוספת של המינרלים הרצויים וקצת אלקליניות, כפי שניתן למצוא ברוב מערכות טיהור המים. מבנה מנגנון הסינון של מערכות RO : שלב 1 - טיהור מים , עם מסנן ממברנה כאלמנט האחרון שלו. מניעת ההיסתמות של ממברנה עם גודל נקבוביות של 0.0001 מיקרון, והצורך לספק שטח ממברנה שיתמוך בקצב סביר של זרימת מים, הם הקשיים המהותיים של שלב זה. לכן מערכות RO מודרניות מגיעות עם מנגנוני "שטיפה (flush) אוטומטית/ניקוי עצמי" (קרא עוד למטה ). שלב 2 - העשרת מים , הוספת בסיסיות ומינרליזציה. שלב זה מתקבל בקלות יחסית כאשר לעיתים נעשה שימוש ביותר מאשר מסנן אחד. אז איך נדע מה רמת נקיון המים המושגת בשלב הראשון של מערכת ה-RO אם בשלב השני, המים המיוצרים מועשרים בבסיסיות ובמינרלים? פשוט, אנו משיגים את ערך ה-TDS שמוסיפים מסנני השלב השני ומפחיתים ערך זה מקריאת ה-TDS שאנו מקבלים מהמים המופקים ע"י המערכת. הנה דוגמה לתוספת כזו: "המסנן הזה (iSpring FA15) מעלה את ערך ה-pH של מי ה-RO ב-0.5 עד 0.8. המסנן האלקליין מפצה על המינרלים האבודים שסולקו בתהליך ה-RO ומחזיר את המינרלים הללו בחזרה למים הטהורים. תוספת מינרלים אלה מעלה את ערך ה-TDS, בדרך כלל בין 10-20 ppm" מן הראוי להזכיר בהקשר זה כי חיפוש באינטרנט עבור "RO desired TDS level" יביא טווח רחב - משהו בין 50 ל-300 ppm , עם הערות נוספות כמו שהטווח האידאלי נע בין 50 ל 150 ppm. כמובן שהכוונה כאן היא לרמת המינרלים במים ולא לרמת הרעלנים למיניהם אותם ברצוננו לסלק. כפי שהסברנו לעיל כל ההמלצות הללו מתעלמות מהסיבה העיקרית להתקנת מערכת ה-RO מלכתחילה – קבלת מים נקיים (טהורים). קיום מערכת RO המייצרת מי פלט עם רמת TDS של 100 עלולה להשאיר אי ודאות גדולה לגבי יכולת הסרת הרעלים והפתוגנים של אותה מערכת. לסיכום עד כאן - יש לתת עדיפות למערכת RO המפיקה מים טהורים (TDS נמוך) ככל שניתן בשלב הראשון של טיהור המים. זאת ועוד, אם רמת ה-TDS של המים המטוהרים ממערכת ה-RO שלך מתחילה לעלות, מבלי שתחול עליה ברמת ה TDS של המים הנכנסים למערכת, זוהי אינדיקציה טובה שהגיע הזמן להחליף את מסנני ה"קדם-ממברנה" ו/או את הממברנה עצמה. מבנה מנגנון הסינון של מערכות RO RO בחירת מערכת מערכות עם מיכל אגירה החסרונות העיקריים של מערכת RO עם מיכל אגירה בחירת מערכת RO החלטה ראשונית - האם מחפשים מערכת עם או ללא מיכל אגירה. מערכות עם מיכל אגירה מיכל אגירה של מערכת RO נועד לווסת את קצב זרימת תפוקת המים מברז המערכת, ומבטל את התלות של המערכת בלחץ כניסת המים, ללא צורך במשאבת דחף . מיכל האגירה מגיע עם לחץ אוויר של 7 - 8 psi שמייצב את זרימת מי הפלט של המערכת. החסרונות העיקריים של מערכת RO עם מיכל אגירה הם : מיכל אגירה לוקח מקום שלא תמיד זמין בארון מתחת לכיור, "חילחול" איטי של מזהמים דרך מסנן הממברנה היא בעיה בשתי המערכות, המערכת הכוללת מיכל אגירה ומערכת ה RO ללא מיכל. חילחול המזהמים מתיחס לאיזון הלחץ האוסמוטי של יונים (מזהמים) דרך הממברנה בין הצד של המים המטוהרים של לצד של המים הלא מטוהרים, כאשר המערכת במצב סרק (אינה מופעלת לטיהור המים). לבעיה זו פתרון פשוט ככל שמדובר במערכת ללא מיכל אגירה, כאשר פותחים את ברז המים המטוהרים ונותנים למים לזרום לכיור למשך 5-10 שניות , לפני שמתחילים למלא את הכוס (או המיכל). אפשרות זו אינה זמינה אם המים מהממברנה זורמים לתוך המיכל (לפני הגעתם לברז) ומתערבבים עם המים הנאגרים בו. אפשרות נוספת היא לקבל מערכת שתומכת בתכונת השטיפה האוטומטית (קרא עוד למטה ). יש מצב שמיכל האגירה יהפוך לקרקע גידול לפתוגנים, כאשר המים נשארים "עומדים" במיכל לתקופה ממושכת (9 - 10 ימים ). מדובר בפתוגנים שעברו איכשהו את שלב טיהור המים, בין אם בגלל מסננים לא מתאימים או בשל החלפה מאוחרת של מסנני הטיהור. אפשרות נוספת למקור הגידול של פתוגנים במיכל אגירה היא שלאורך זמן, הופך החלק הפנימי של מיכל האגירה לקרקע גידול של חידקים הטרוטרופיים - אלו מיקרואורגניזמים המשתמשים בפחמן אורגני כמזון. חיפוש באינטרנט מגלה שקצב הגידול של פתוגנים אלו הוא עניין של מחלוקת בין חוקרים שונים, אך אין ספק שהתרבות של פתוגנים יכול להוות בעיה במיכלי אחסון של מערכות RO. יעילות המסננים בכלל ומסנן הממברנה בפרט, תלויה בלחץ המים המוזנים אליה! באופן כללי, ככל שהלחץ גבוה יותר כך יעילות הסרת המזהמים גבוהה יותר. רוב מערכות ה-RO הכוללות מיכל אגירה, מגיעות ללא משאבת דחף. במצב זה יעילות פינוי המזהמים הופכת לתלויה בלחץ אספקת המים מרשת המים החיצונית. זו הסיבה שרוב ספקי מערכות ה RO עם מיכלי האחסון, ימליצו על משאבת דחף אם המערכת שלהם אינה כוללת כזו ולחץ המים בכניסה למערכת נמוך מ-0.2 MPa (2 בר / 29.01 psi). מערכות ללא מיכל אגירה מערכות אלו כוללות משאבת מים המייצרת את לחץ המים הנכון לתפקוד טוב של מסנן הממברנה ולקצב זרימת מים "מספק". מה שאומר שמערכות RO ללא מיכל זקוקות לאספקת חשמל כדי לפעול. כמו כן, משאבת המים וכמה אלמנטים חשמליים נוספים הדרושים לשליטה בה, מייקרים את מערכות ה-RO מסוג זה, בהשוואה למערכות RO עם מיכל אגירה עם תפוקת מים יומית דומה. מערכות ללא מיכל אגירה RO הקריטריונים לבחירת מערכת שיעור דחיית מוצקים מעל 95% ני GAC ו-CTO - עשוים מ-100% פחמן קליפת קוקוס הקריטריונים לבחירת מערכת RO יודגש : כפי שהוסבר לעיל, אנו מחשיבים את טיהור המים בתור התכונה החשובה ביותר של מערכות RO, לכן, אנו ממליצים לשקול את שני הקריטריונים הראשונים ברשימה שלהלן בתור החשובים ביותר. יש חשיבות גם לשאר הקריטריונים, אך השפעתם על נקיון המים היא עקיפה. שיעור יציב של דחיית מוצקים מעל 95%: יכולת טיהור המים של מערכת RO נמדדת לפי "השיעור היציב של דחיית מוצקים" שלה. שיעור זה מתייחס לאחוז היציב והאמין של מזהמים או זיהומים שהמערכת יכולה להסיר ביעילות מהמים המוזנים אליה. כך למשל אם ה TDS של מי הכניסה עומד על 500, אמורה מערכת המספקת שיעור דחייה של 95% להפיק מים מסוננים עם TDS לאחר סינון הממברנה שעומד על כ - 25. כדי לאמת את שיעור הדחייה של מערכת ה-RO, יש למדוד את שניהם - TDS של המים המטוהרים של המערכת ו-TDS של המים המוזנים למערכת וכמובן לחשב את היחס בין שתי קריאות אלה של ה TDS. יש לשים לב : ספקים מסוימים ידרגו את שיעור דחיית המוצקים של המערכת שלהם כ"מעל 90%...", או "עד 99%..." - אלו דירוגים מעורפלים. מסנני GAC ו-CTO - עשוים מ-100% פחמן קליפת קוקוס, עם ערך יוד של מעל 1000. לפחמן שמקורו בקליפת קוקוס במסנני (G ranular A ctivated C arbon) - GAC ובמסנני (C hlorine removal, T aste, and O dor) CTO (הסרת כלור, טעם וריח), יש יתרונות רבים כגון חוזק מכני גבוה (הידבקות חזקה), ונפח נקבוביות גבוה. ערך יוד של מעל 1000 - ככל שערך היוד גבוה יותר , כושר הספיחה של המסנן גדול יותר. חומר פעיל במעטפת קוקוס עם ערך יוד של מעל 1000 מתורגם ליכולת גבוהה יותר ללכוד ולשמור על זיהומים, כמו תרכובות אורגניות וכלור (כלור וכלורמין הם חומרי החיטוי העיקריים המשמשים במערכות מים ציבוריות). חשוב! מאמרים מדעיים שהצליחו "לשבור" את הצנזורה המדעית [REF 1 , 2 ] מציגים בבירור את הנזק למערכת הבקטריאלית המסייעת לתהליכי העיכול, נזק הנגרם ע"י הכלור ברמה בה נעשה שימוש במערכות מוניציפאליות לאספקת מים. קצב זרימת מים מטוהרים - קצב הזרימה של מערכות עם מיכל אגירה נקבע על פי הלחץ הפנימי של מיכל האגירה ונפח המיכל, בעוד שקצב הזרימה ממערכות ללא מיכל נקבע על פי מבנה המערכת כולה וכתוצאה מכך מחירה. עבור מערכות ללא מיכל, רצוי קצב זרימה של לא פחות מ - 1.5 ליטר/דקה. תצוגת TDS של מי הזנה ומים מטוהרים - רמת הנקיון הסופית של המים מושפעת מאוד מרמת הזיהום (TDS) של המים המוזנים למערכת - ככל שה-TDS של המים המוזנים למערכת גבוה יותר, כך ה TDS של המים המטוהרים גבוה יותר. רמת TDS של מים בכניסה משפיעה באופן משמעותי על תדירות ההחלפה של המסננים לפני הממברנה ושל מסנן הממברנה עצמה. עלייה בקריאת ה - TDS של המים המטוהרים, היא אינדיקציה חשובה ביותר לצורך בהחלפת המסננים שכן רוב, אם לא כל ספקי מערכות ה-RO הביתיות לא מציינים תקופת החלפה מוגדרת מראש אלא מעדיפים לתת "טווח" כמו: "12 - 24 חודשים או 1300 ליטר מה שיבוא קודם". לחלק מהמערכות יש מחוונים המאותתים מתי יש צורך להחליף מסננים, אך מחוונים אלה מופעלים על ידי זמן שימוש מוגדר מראש של המערכת ולא על ידי האפקטיביות בפועל של כל מסנן. מעקב על רמת ה TDS של המים המטוהרים מאפשרת לקבוע את הצורך בהחלפה, כאשר מבחינים בעלייה ברמה זו, שאינה קשורה לעלייה ב-TDS של המים המוזנים למערכת. מערכת RO עם תצוגת TDS של מי הזנה תסייע מאוד בקביעה זו. החלפת מסננים - יש לקרוא את המדריך למשתמש כדי לראות כמה קל יהיה להתקין את המערכת ובהמשך להחליף את המסננים, כדי להפחית/לבטל את הצורך בעזרה מקצועית להתקנה ותחזוקה של המערכת. קצב זרימת מים מטוהרים וגת TDS של מי הזנה ומים מטוהריםת החלפת מסננים מנגנון שטיפה אוטומטי ווסתי לחץ נמוך וגבוה בכניסת המים למערכת יחס מים מטוהרים שימוש בחומרי פלסטיק שאינם מגירים רעלים מנגנון שטיפה אוטומאטי (self cleaning) מנגנון זה מופעל עם ההפעלה הראשונית של המערכת, ולאחר מכן למשך 10-20 שניות כל שעתיים מצטברות של פעולת המערכת, או תקופת השבתה ממושכת של המערכת. מדובר בפעולת הזרקת מים חזקה אשר מסירה מזהמים אורגניים ואי-אורגניים מהממברנה. פעולה זו מסייעת בהבטחת יציבות של ניקיון המים לאורך זמן ובכך מאריכה את יעילות הממברנה ותוחלת החיים שלה. מנגנון שטיפה עצמית חשוב גם כדי לחסל (או למזער) את בעיית החילחול של TDS כפי שהזכרנו לעיל . ווסתי לחץ נמוך וגבוה בכניסת המים למערכת - ווסתים אלו מגינים על המערכת מפני לחץ גבוה או נמוך מרמות הלחץ המתאימות למערכת (ולהגנה מנזילות הנובעות מלחץ גבוה מדי). יש לשים לב , הוראות ההתקנה של מערכות RO רבות יצינו: "יש לבדוק את לחץ ההפעלה בביתך במשך 24 שעות כדי להשיג את הלחץ המרבי. אם הוא מעל 0.63 MPa (שהם 6.3 בר שהם 91.4 psi), אז יש צורך בווסת לחץ". זו המלצה טובה שכרוכה בעלות גבוהה! עלות בדיקה ההידרוסטטית נעה בין 250 ל-500 דולר. גם אם לא נמצא לחץ יתר במהלך הבדיקה, עדיין קיימת הבעיה בתנודות הלחץ, תנודות שללא ווסת לחץ עלולות לפגוע במערכת. יחס מים מטוהרים - זהו היחס בין כמות המים הנשלחת מהמערכת לביוב בגין כל ליטר מים מטוהרים. מומלץ לחפש יחס יעילות של מעל 1:1 יחס. שימוש בחומרי פלסטיק שאינם מגירים רעלים - יש לוודא כי חומרי הפלסטיק בהם נעשה שימוש (צינורות למשל) אינם מכילים Bisphenol-A (BPA) Phthalates - רוב מערכות ה-RO כוללות רכיבים מחומרים פלסטיים. חומרים פלסטיים מסוימים נוטים "להפריש" רעלים כמו פתלטים וביספנול A למים שהם באים איתם במגע. ודא שצינורות ה-RO והרכיבים של המערכת שברצונך לרכוש עשויים מחומרי PE (פוליאתילן) מאושרים לשימוש במזון, ABS או נירוסטה.קרא בעמוד זה עוד על פתלטים וביספנול A בפלסטיק. יש לשים לב ! רוב ספקי מערכות ה-RO עומדים כעת בדרישה זו. ובכל זאת אנו ממליצים בחום לוודא שהמערכת שתבחר עומדת בדרישה זו. מסנן שלב אחרון להוספת בסיסיות ומינרלים למים המטוהרים - להבנתנו, לרכיב זה במערכות RO חשיבות נמוכה! גם אם נניח שצריכת המים היא בין 3 ל 4 ליטר ליום , הטבלה שלהלן מראה בבירור שכמות המינרלים שאנו מקבלים ממי השתייה היא שולית בהשוואה למה שאנו צריכים לקבל על בסיס יומי מצריכת המזון שלנו. התכונה החשובה ביותר של מסנן זה היא הבסיסיות שהוא מוסיף כדי להפוך את המים לטעימים יותר, והמינרלים הנוספים הם "בונוס קטן" לתכונה זו. מסנן זה אמור להביא את רמת ה-pH של המים המופקים מהמערכת לאזור של pH 8 בהתחשב בכך שעבור רוב האנשים, מים עם pH של 8 עד 8.5 טעימים יותר מאשר מים עם pH נמוך יותר, שכן ה-pH של מים טהורים הוא בערך 7. מסנן שלב אחרון

It has been used for thousands of years in many dozens of countries and cultures. In ancient Egypt it was nicknamed the "Plant of Eternal Life". Numerous scientific studies have shown its benefits and significant contribution in coping with various health conditions, the highlights of which are detailed below (more details down this page): Helps shrink Benign Prostate Hyperplasia in a short period of time, (Read more ) Contribute to a high energy level, and improved absorption of various vitamins. Helps to improve bowl movement. A life changer for those suffering from arthritis. Significant contributor to resolve chronic gastrointestinal infections (Crohn's and colitis). Enhances activity of the natural killer cells that are responsible for the elimination of cancer cells. Significantly improves the condition of diabetics. And all the above is just a partial list of its benefits! (Read more ) SCIENTIFIC STUDIES OF ALOE VERA BARBADENSIS BENEFITS A GREEN LEAF WITH HEALING PROPERTIES PROVEN BY SCIENTIFIC STUDIES! PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTS This presentation is a comprehensive review of scientific studies, most of which focusing on a few of the aloe benefits, but when assembled together brings us to the unavoidable conclusion that this is a superfood, referred to in older times, as the superfood of the Middle East. Below is the true story of the aloe plant + recommendations for healthy and safe consumption of this plant. Here we will try to answer some basic questions about the usage of this plant: Who should consume aloe and how frequently? Everybody, on a daily basis, Does it worth drinking aloe gel? Yes, as long as it is fresh (kept frozen for extended shelf life), extracted from the inner part of the leaf (manual skin removal), slow cold pressed, without any additives, organically grown and extracted from mature leaves, Why does it stay in “the corner” and not gain the status it deserves as a daily nutrient? Because most of its numerous products are not in full compliance with the standards as outlined in article 2 above, a cause for dramatic reduction of its benefits and the appearance of undesired side effects. How to choose the aloe gel extract that will be the healthiest, safest and most effective? Just follow the guidelines as presented in article 2 above. As we presented in the "History and Benefits " section above the aloe story should have made it an important part of everyone's daily diet, so why aloe hasn't become part of the diet in every home? How is it possible that all of these benefits have remained obscure to most people? It is considered a medicinal plant, but the truth is that it is a green succulent leaf that is well worth eating as part of a healthy daily diet routine. Aloe leaves contain many amino acids, digestive enzymes, vitamins in large quantities, essential minerals, antioxidants, antifungal substances (e.g. candida killers), antiviral substances, powerful anti-inflammatory drugs, polysaccharides with properties to balance and strengthen the immune system and much more. Evidences for its beneficial effects are numerous and scientific studies have also found great benefits and beneficial effects to a large number of our body systems. Here is what science has revealed about this wonderful plant: Aloe For Cancer This study [24 ] took cancer patients in advanced stages, who in light of their condition decided to give up conventional treatment. Half of them received melatonin and the other half received melatonin + aloe gel. The group that received added aloe gel showed disease stability (versus exacerbation) and better survival, compared to the group that received melatonin only. In a study in humans, aloe gel significantly improved the function of natural killers cells - cells responsible for the elimination of cancer cells . Bottom line, research works with actual cancer cases in human patients proved that aloe has powerful anti-cancer properties! Aloe for diabetes Aloe lowers sugar levels for diabetics This meta-analysis study (a study summarizing dozens of studies examining the same topic) showed that aloe can’t only slow down the absorption of sugar after a meal, but also leads to a significant decrease of sugar levels in diabetics - decreasing FBG by 46.6 mg/dL (p < 0.0001) and HbA1c by 1.05% (p = 0.004). Another meta-analysis study found that consumption of aloe gel resulted in a better balance of sugar levels, a reduction in triglyceride levels, a reduction in bad cholesterol (LDL) and an increase in good cholesterol (HDL). Aloe For pre-Diabetic condition - Another study from 2013 on people with metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetic condition) found that aloe gel reduced the levels of bad cholesterol, sugar and insulin levels during fastings assisting in the prevention of diabetes. Aloe Anti-inflammatory properties Aloe increases blood antioxidant level - Drinking aloe gel daily has significantly increased the total antioxidant level in the blood without any side effects. Aloe anti-inflammatory properties - New substances found in aloe are constantly being discovered. In 1996, a new type of molecule carried in the aloe plant was discovered with anti-inflammatory properties . Inflammation and aphthae in the mouth - A loe has been found to significantly reduce inflammation and aphthae in the mouth , most notably in cancer patients who have received chemotherapy (one of the side effects of most chemotherapies is inflammation and aphthae in the mouth). Aloe reduced pain and improved the satisfaction of these patients . Psoriasis patients - Aloe gel has been found in a controlled study to significantly improve the condition of . Aloe for Oral submucous fibrosis - A 2017 study on patients with this chronic disease, found that aloe gel greatly improved the condition of patients and without any side effects . Presentation highlights Aloe for cancer Aloe for diabetes Aloe Anti-inflammatory properties Aloe probiotic Aloe other benefits Aloe interaction with medications Aloe probiotic Aloe As Prebiotic - A 2015 study found that aloe has prebiotic properties. That is, it helps the prosperity and culture of the good bacteria, the probiotic bacteria . Aloe increases vitamin bioavailability - Drinking aloe gel significantly improved the bioavailability (i.e., improved absorption) of vitamin C and vitamin B12. It also significantly increased the ability of the blood to neutralize free radicals. Aloe For Vitamin Absorption - A 2005 study found that aloe significantly improved the absorption of vitamin C and vitamin E. It is the only plant discovered to date that improves absorption of these two vitamins simultaneously (vitamin C is water soluble and vitamin E is fat soluble so it is not really trivial to have a substance that improves absorption of these two vitamins together!) . Aloe reduces heart burn - A 2015 study of people with heartburn and reflux found that aloe greatly reduced the frequency of heartburn events, without any side effects . Irritable bowel syndrome - A preliminary study from 2015 found that aloe gel was significantly beneficial for people with this syndrome . Aloe Other benefits Aloe tissue repair - Aloe has a wonderful ability to repair tissues. A 2016 study in rats found that aloe significantly reduced the nerve damage caused by spinal cord injury. Aloe Protection For kidney cells - In another animal study, aloe was found to protect kidney cells following the administration of a toxic drug to the kidneys. Aloe prevented DNA damage following exposure to toxic substances known as DNA damage agents. Aloe helps with COLITIS - A placebo-controlled study in patients with colitis (autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease) showed impressive efficacy compared with placebo. A thirds of patients reached complete remission thanks to the aloe gel. Aloe for multiple sclerosis - in multiple sclerosis model in mice, aloe inhibited the exacerbation of the disease. Aloe For Kidney Stone - A 2006 study found that aloe gel has the best effect on urine composition. This effect is known to reduce the risk of kidney stones. Are there people who should be careful about using aloe gel? Diabetics who are taking sugar-lowering medications, who are starting to consume the gel, should have sugar tests performed more frequently than usual. Aloe is so effective in lowering sugar levels that it is likely that within 1-2 weeks, diabetics will need to lower the dose of medication they are taking to balance their sugar level. In short - the product is highly recommended for diabetics as an additional tool for lowering blood sugar level, but closer monitoring should be performed. Caution is also required from people taking the drug coumadin (a powerful blood-thinning drug). They should not consume aloe without consulting their physician and adjusting their coumadin dose according to his guidance. Aloe is a green leaf and is therefore problematic for people who take Coumadin (like all other green leaves that are banned from free consumption by coumadin users). When people are sick, they are willing to invest any amount to recover, but the wisdom is not to wait for the disease, but to invest in food or health-promoting products, when you are healthy, in order to reduce the risk of catching any sort of a disease. We think that our aloe gel produced as described above is definitely worth such investment. BACK TO TOP

Aloe Vera Leaf Structure ALOE ARBORESCENS ALOE VERA BARBADENSIS Related Linked Pages: Aloe As Herbal Remedy Back to Pages Aloe Daily Diet Aloe Scientific Studies ALOE VERA SUPLEMENTS A comparative analysis of beneficial ingredients between aloe arborescens and aloe vera barbadensis must be based on scientific studies (more than a single study) that could be accessed! All the websites that sell some formula related to the Father Zago recipe, present aloe as containing from 70% more of medicinal components. Some of them claim for 200% more and even higher. If they bother to give the source of their numbers, they all make reference to "Dr. Aldo Facetti, phytology technician and herbalist at the Palatin Salzano Institute in Italy". What is missing is the reference to the scientific paper that substantiates these numbers! We have already mentioned a scientific study that showed the aloe vera and the aloe leaves have similar beneficial ingredients but in terms of weight ratios, aloe vera has 60% more polysaccharides, 43% less aloin and 70% less antioxidants. In his paper "The Therapeutic Components In Aloe Vera" , Dr. Ivan Danhof,MD, Ph.D. presents the importance of the polysaccharides as the dominant beneficial ingredient in the aloe vera plant . This study shows that the aloe vera leaf skin contains 2.4 more polysaccharides than the leaf's gel! There are a few benefits for this option: Product availability - as we already mentioned, for now and for years to come, aloe plant is not available in commercial volumes. For Father Zago's recipe application the aloe vera gel slim leaf is a good substitute to the aloe leaf. The aloe vera gel rich section being so succulent and human skin permeable, is considered an excellent skin moisturizer , preferable for cosmetic applications, and as a daily supplement for great varieties of recipes of smoothies and juices that are not as "heavy" as Father Zago's recipe. Read more on the supplement recipes in the Daily Diet page. Aloe Gel Slim section Aloe Gel Rich section Aloe leaf GEL RICH, GEL SLIM SECTIONS : Translated to practical applications, the aloe vera's ratio of skin to gel (leaf skin weight divided by leaf gel weight) is much smaller that that of the aloe, given its much more succulent and large leaves. If we cut the aloe vera leaf into two sections - gel slim section and gel rich section, we will find out that the gel slim section whose "skin to gel ratio" is so much higher, is by far richer with polysaccharides, aloin and antioxidants - ingredients that are found in the leaf's skin. ( Read More ) Gel Slim Gel Rich Sections Aloe Leaf Structure Aloe Vera Leaf Structure: The importance of the leaf structure: The gel which makes up the inner part of the aloe leaf is well recognized and used extensively in most of the aloe vera products. What is less known and used is the latex (some call it sap) that is between the gel and the outer rind of the leaf. This layer contains the aloin which is part of the Anthraquinone group of compounds and contains some most beneficial ingredients . Read more here . We have already mentioned the aloin in the toxicity discussion , and the importance of its dosage when ingested. There are two major elements to consider when evaluating the pros and cons of using the Aloin for topical applications: The dose of aloin that could reach the blood stream is so much smaller when applied topically, It does not pass through the digestive system. On the other hand, testimonials and "field usage" as represented by Father Zago in his books, counting "success stories" of using the inner layer of the aloe skin with its aloin rich content, seem to justify its use for various skin conditions that could be treated by topical application. Practically, all that is needed to make use of this "substance" for topical applications is to scrape (using a knife) the inner side of the leaf's skin after it is being peeled to extract the gel, and keep the scraped gel refrigerated in a jar for application within a few days, and any extra, in a jar to be kept frozen (until defrosted for further use).

VITAMIN D3 Page Content: Background Vitamin D Daily Intake Vitamin D Deficiency Implications Background " Vitamin D receptors (VDRs) are located predominantly in the nucleus of cells, where they act as transcription factors regulating the expression/transcription of genes (genomic pathways) that control cell-specific biological functions. Furthermore, a small proportion of the VDRs are found in the cytosol, (the aqueous component of the cytoplasm of a cell, within which various organelles and particles are suspended) where they modulate various enzymes and signaling pathways (non-genomic pathways). Bottom line, vitamin D is essential for all our body tissues! A healthy vitamin D blood level is 40-50 ng/mL. Vitamin D Daily Intake There are many "versions" to the proper daily intake of vitamin D supplement. We recommend to follow the recommendations of Dr. Berg "I started taking 5,000 IUs of vitamin D in May 2020 and started feeling good and I increased it to 10,000 IUs and started feeling great". According to Dr. Gundry - another prominent health figure that we follow, the minimum daily intake should be 5,000 IUs (min. 6:31) . It is recommended that taking vitamin D supplement capsules should be complemented with some fat be it in the capsules or with fat (e.g. avocado) that you have in your meal. Vitamin D Deficiency Implications " Over the past decades , scientists gathered overwhelming evidence indicating that the observed global vitamin D deficiency not only has a negative impact on human skeletal system, but also facilitates development and progression of multiple disease of civilization, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, autoimmune disease, and cancer.""The active form of vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3, calcitriol) regulates calcium–phosphate homeostasis through the interaction with vitamin D receptor (VDR). It also has a huge impact on the proper functioning of musculoskeletal, immune, nervous, and cardiovascular systems". Backgroud Vitamn D Daily Intake Vitamin D Deficiency Implications

Watch for yourself how long each of the leafs preserved its refresh look in each of the cups. When we did it, the leaf in the cup with water from the microwave oven lost its fresh "look" real fast! Microwave Oven Dangers Microwave Oven Dangers Excerpts from the book "Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation" By: Andreas Moritz, Posted: November 20, 2011 — updated 2017 "Did you ever wonder what microwaves can do to water, food and your body? Russian researchers have found decreased nutritional value, cancer-making compounds and brain-damaging radiolytics in virtually all microwave-prepared foods. Eating microwave-prepared meals can also cause loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability and a decline in intelligence, according to the research. The Russian scientists also found decreased nutritional value – or significant dimming of their ‘vital energy field’ – in up to 90 percent of all microwave-prepared foods". This website publishes another article from Andreas Moritz that says : "Microwave Cooked Food Is Nutritionally Deficient ‘Nuclear Waste'. Read this review for more information , In addition, the B complex, C and E vitamins linked with stress-reduction and the prevention of cancer and heart disease, as well as the essential trace minerals needed for optimum brain and body functioning, were all rendered useless by microwaves, even at short cooking durations. Microwave-cooked food is basically reduced to the nutritional equivalent of cardboard. If you don’t want to develop nutrient deficiencies, you may be better off throwing this appliance out of your kitchen. The radiation has been found to accumulate in the kitchen furniture, becoming a constant source of radiation in itself. Microwave usage in the preparation of food has been found to lead to lymphatic disorders and an inability to protect the body against certain cancers. The research found increased rates of cancer cell formation in the blood of people eating microwave-cooked meals. The Russians also reported increased rates of stomach and intestinal cancers, as well as digestive and excretive disorders, plus a higher percentage of cell tumors, including sarcoma. The Microwave Heating Action Microwaves rip apart the molecular bonds that make food to be ‘food’. Microwave ovens hurl high-frequency microwaves that boil the moisture within food and its packaging by whipsawing water molecules dizzyingly back-and-forth at more than a billion reversals per second. This frantic friction fractures food molecules, rearranging their chemical composition into weird, new configurations unrecognizable as food by human bodies. By destroying the molecular structures of food, the body cannot help but turn the food into waste; but not harmless waste, rather ‘nuclear waste’. Microwave Side effects Microwave ovens produce strong microwave radiation. In case that the oven is not highly "encapsulated" to eliminate radiation emission, other than just making food useless and ‘wasteful’, there is a broad spectrum of microwave side effects, as listed in this extensive scientific studies review. To name a few: Adverse neurological effects in the offspring Damage to Mechanisms underlying learning and memory Oxidative stress and apoptosis and the list goes on.... The Russian government had banned microwave ovens for over 50 years, but they were recently introduced to the Russian market (for ‘economic’ reasons). Microwave ovens have taken over the cooking chores in 9 out of 10 American homes, and American and Chinese microwave manufacturers hope that the same will happen in Russia. Reporting for the Forensic Research Document of AREC Research (Agricultural Research and Education Centre ) , William P. Kopp states: “The effects of microwaved food byproducts are long-term, permanent within the human body. Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.” The Microwave Heating Action Microwave Side effects

Most of the skin issues presented below are pathogens related, be it bacteria, virus or fungi, with their associated inflammation. Here we offer a powerful anti-pathogen to combat most of these skin issues. MOST "COMMON" INFLAMMATION RELATED SKIN ISSUES Page Content: Background DMSO For Skin Problems DMSO For Topical Applications Organic, Virgin Coconut Oil The Diet Dandruff Acne (Vulgaris) Psoriasis Eczema (Dermatitis) Herpes Cellulitis Athlete's Foot Skin Sunspots Skin Warts, Tags and Moles Background Background Most of the skin issues presented below are pathogens related, be it bacteria, virus or fungi, with their associated inflammation. Searching for the best solution for each of the skin issues as presented below, we discovered (as can be reviewed in the related links in each of these issues) that DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) is a prime anti pathogen to combat skin related pathogen issues. Coupled with its ease of application (no need for washing after application, you just let it dry and continue with your daily schedule), makes it our preferred choice. This comprehensive article and its references along with the references about the effectiveness of this product for each of the skin problems presented on this page, convinced us to adopt this product as our preferred choice for most skin issues. Note! When applied, the DMSO solution triggers a stinging irritation of the skin area where it is applied. Obviously, the intensity of the skin irritation depends on the concentration of the solution and the skin sensitivity. As we recommend below, there is a wide range of concentrations (10%-70%) that could be used. Clearly, the higher the concentration, the more effective the treatment (the time it takes to notice results). Start with lower concentrations and make your choice. For significant reduction of the stinging effect at relatively higher concentration, apply Aloe Vera gel, followed immediately by the DMSO application. We recommend the use of Fresh, Organic Aloe Vera gel, produced as prescribed HERE (in the preparation section). For some skin issues, the ones that cover larger skin areas like Athlete's Foot, Herpes, Cellulitis and more, it would be a good practice to complement the DMSO topical application with Oral Intake of Oregano Oil to help eliminate of the "deeper" skin associated inflammation, and accelerate the recovery process. We also present a "mild" treatment of coconut oil that could complement the TSP for some of the issues. Note that regardless of the issue, we strongly recommend to try and complement the practice adopted with a diet change ( Read more here ). DMSO For Skin Problems DMSO For Topical Applications DMSO For Skin Problems This comprehensive article describes in great detail DMSO antisepsis effect (antisepsis - the destruction or inhibition of micro-organisms on living tissues) for skin (and other) issues being harmful to microorganisms, especially the smallest ones. This property appears to be the most beneficial for herpes, shingles, and complex conditions with a microbiological component (Read more here). Anti-inflammatory effects: DMSO has been found to suppress the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, potentially reducing inflammation in various skin conditions. Wound healing: Studies have indicated that DMSO may accelerate the healing process, reduce pain, and lower the risk of infection in wounds. Antioxidant properties: DMSO's antioxidant effects contribute to its potential in treating various skin diseases and promoting healthier skin. Given the above knowledge, and the simplicity of application (no need for washing and oily remnants) we have tested the DMSO practice, dealing with our own personal skin issues and those of our associates and relatives, and the results were all very positive - you will notice the positive changes in a matter of days, provided that you keep applying it on a daily basis! DMSO For Topical Applications: The Formula Use Pharmaceutical grade 99.9% DMSO and dilute it with distilled water to a 10%-70% solution concentration. Application: Cleanse the affected area gently before applying the mixture. Use lower concentrations for sensitive skin areas such as face, ears... and even lower concentrations for mucous membranes. Note, you may want to raise the solution's concentration after a few days, as the sensitivity of the treated area is somewhat decreasing, to accelerate the healing process. Twice a day, spread the solution and let it dry out for 20-30 min. There is no need to wash the application area after the solution dries out. Precautions: Perform a patch test to check for allergic reactions. Do not use on broken or severely irritated skin. Try it out on a small area and adjust the concentration accordingly. Note that when you spread the solution to the inflicted area, you may experience some stinging/itching for a few minutes. Adjust the solution's concentration to a stinging level that you can tolerate, being mindful that the higher the concentration, the more effective the treatment. Frequency and Duration: Use the mixture once or twice a day. Results: If you feel itching of some sort from the treated area, expect some relief in a matter of days. It may take a week or two for inflammation signs to start disappearing. Add the use of oregano oil oral intake if you want to accelerate the process with severe skin issues like cellulitis and similar problems. Organic, Virgin Coconut Oil Organic, Virgin Coconut Oil - A "comfortable formula" Note! coconut oil comedogenic rating is 4 (on a scale of 1-5) which means that it tends to clog skin pores. Applying it to oily skin may potentially worsen acne condition for some people, especially those with oily skin. Our own experience (and that of our relatives) does not show any worsening of the condition. To the contrary, for us and our relatives, coconut oil has improved acne problems, as expected, given its antimicrobial action (see below). Topical application of coconut oil offers several benefits for skin health[1 ][2 ]: Moisturization : Coconut oil is highly effective at hydrating the skin and helping it retain moisture. It can be particularly beneficial for dry skin and may help alleviate symptoms of acne eczema. Anti-inflammatory properties : The oil has been shown to reduce inflammation, which can help soothe irritated skin and potentially alleviate temporary redness. Antimicrobial action : Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which has antimicrobial properties that may help protect against harmful microorganisms, potentially benefiting conditions like acne. Antioxidant effects : Virgin coconut oil, in particular, provides antioxidants that can help protect the skin from environmental stressors and potentially reduce signs of aging. Wound healing : Some studies suggest that coconut oil may aid in wound healing, though more research is needed in this area. Barrier protection : Coconut oil forms a protective barrier on the skin, shielding it from environmental toxins and pollutants. Coconut oil is absorbed into the skin in one to two hours, easy to apply and readily available in almost every home. We provide the oregano formula, as an option for treatment escalation. If after a week or so, the DMSO does not show significant improvement, escalate the treatment and add the oregano option, for its anti-inflammatory qualities. The Diet - As we explain on other pages of this website (Read more Here , and Here ), it is most likely that your diet is the prime culprit behind most, if not all of your skin inflammations. Therefore, it would be next to impossible to get prolonged results with any of these skin related inflammations, without a diet change. As an example, Dandruff/Seborrheic Dermatitis is closely related to leaky guts, and leaky guts is associated with: Too much Gluten intake - (watch this Dr. Gundry's video min. 3:09 ) in so many forms - Breads, cakes, biscuits, cookies, crackers, flour. As Dr. Gundry presents (in another video min. 2:18 ) "100% of people with an autoimmune disease have of antibodies to the various forms of Wheat, Rye and barley and mostly in oats". Too much lectin intake from lectin-rich foods - "raw legumes (beans, lentils, peas, soybeans, peanuts) and whole grains like wheat contain the highest amounts of lectins". Nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes...) are also source for that toxin. When lectins make it through to your GI (Gastrointestinal) tract, they can cause all kinds of problems. For one, they bind with receptors along the gut lining to produce zonulin. As explained above, zonulin then breaks the tight junctions holding together your gut wall. This creates spaces between the cells for “foreign invaders” (like harmful bacteria) to get through and get to other parts of your body". (Read more here about how to remove lectins from your favorite foods). Similar link to diet is identified between Eczema, Psoriasis and leaky guts (Watch this video min. 1:51 ) The Diet Dandruff Dandruff As long as we d eal with the scalp, and there is no inflammation - it's a dandruff problem. If and when affected areas, become inflamed (on the face etc.), it's called DERMATITIS (see below in the Eczema - Dermatitis section ). What is dandruff? Scalp skin is made out of layers. Normally there's about a month cycle where the skin cells in your scalp develop and then Slough off as skin flakes. These flakes are called dandruff (min. 0:39) when the sloughing is shortened by flaking off every week . What makes the scalp skin cut the sloughing cycle from a month to a week? Simple, with age and some diet changes, certain areas of your skin and the pathogens that populated them from day one, start respond differently - over growth of pathogens, and inflammation in some areas (dermatitis). Dandruff removal Recognizing this source, makes the resolution very clear: Make the diet changes (Read more Here , and Here ), and apply the Aloe leaves mixture for hair growth, as prescribed on this page . Repeat the treatment for a week or two, to start seeing results. Do not expect lasting results without the required diet change! Aloe Arborescens (or barbadensis as an alternative) benefits for the elimination of dandruff Aloe arborescens contains various compounds that have been attributed to its potential benefits for the scalp and hair, including addressing dandruff. One of the constituents found in aloe arborescens is aloin, which is a compound known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Here's how it might help with dandruff: Antimicrobial Properties: Aloin, along with other compounds present in aloe arborescens, exhibits antimicrobial activity. Dandruff can sometimes be caused or exacerbated by fungal infections such as Malassezia, and aloin's antimicrobial properties may help in combating these pathogens, reducing dandruff. 5 6 7 9 . Anti-inflammatory Effects: Dandruff can also result from inflammation of the scalp. Aloin possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which could help soothe the irritated scalp, reducing itching and flakiness associated with dandruff. 1 4 6 7 8 Moisturizing and Soothing: Aloe arborescens gel is known for its moisturizing and soothing effects on the skin. Using aloe-based products on the scalp can help hydrate and soothe dry, irritated skin, which is often a factor in dandruff. 1 3 5 6 7 Scalp Health: Aloe arborescens contains vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that support scalp health. Maintaining a healthy scalp environment is crucial for preventing dandruff, and the nutrients in aloe may contribute to this. 3 7 Promotes Healing and Reduces Flaking: Its proteolytic enzymes help remove dead skin cells, reducing the accumulation of flakes and promoting a healthier scalp environment 6 7 Rich in Nutrients: Aloe is packed with vitamins (A, C, E, B12), minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, which nourish the scalp and support overall hair health 3 6 . How to use aloe arborescens for dandruff: You can apply its gel directly to the scalp, leave it on for some time, and then rinse thoroughly. However, it's essential to perform a patch test first to ensure you don't have any allergic reactions or sensitivities to the plant. Aloe Mixture for Dandruff 4.5 4 Ratings average rating is 4.5 out of 5, based on 4 votes, Ratings Reviews The major culprit of dandruff is a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia. This fungus lives on the scalp of most healthy adults without causing any problems. It usually affects oily areas of the body, such as the scalp, face, sides of the nose, eyebrows, ears, eyelids and chest. Acne Acne (Vulgaris) Acne ( bacteria/fungus ), 95% of the people aged 11 to 30 had some acne experience. There are three prime causes that trigger and sustain acne: Bacteria related, when hair follicles get blocked with bacteria, oil and dead skin, Fungal infection in hair follicles and elevated levels of cortisol in stressful situations, manifested by increased serum (sebum) secretion and the exacerbation of acne lesions. This article writes "Various studies suggest that a 20% DMSO solution can completely kill various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Micrococcus species [64] [65] [66], etc.". If you need further confirmation, read this reported personal experience . Remember to couple the treatment with the diet changes as we prescribed above (in the BACKGROUND section).

It is a well proven "surface level killer" of fungus and bacteria "species". Spray or pour a deionized food grade solution to the of the foot, and rub it into the "area"as well as any surface bacteria that could cause an infection. Do this twice daily until the infection subsides. Epsom Salt For Athlete's Foot: Epsom salt is a natural ingredient which has been long recognized as an effective anti-inflammatory. Epsom salt is known to help reduce inflammation, remove toxins, eliminate odors and decrease swelling while softening the skin. Epsom salt is technically known as magnesium sulfate. Despite the name, Epsom salt is a mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate. Expected Results: Expect to see significant improvement after about two to three weeks of the practice as prescribed below. Recipe: ½ Cup Epsom Salt, with 99%-100% purity and 99.99% solubility ½ gallon mildly warm (lukewarm) water (comfortable to your touch) Mix in large container where you can place both feet. Soak feet for at least twenty minutes. Most important - While the feet are still wet, scrape your feet sole with your finger nails, or emery board foot file, to remove dry/dead skin. Rub with your fingers between your feet fingers to remove dry skin there. Note, this dry skin removal is most important to eliminate the “incubation” substrate for fungi and other inflammatory bacteria. Repetitions: For a starter, repeat this foot soaking treatment, twice a week, and after improvement, continue, once a week. 5.0 1 Ratings average rating is 5 out of 5, based on 1 votes, Ratings Reviews 5.0 1 Ratings average rating is 5 out of 5, based on 1 votes, Ratings Reviews Reviews 5.0 1 Ratings average rating is 5 out of 5, based on 1 votes, Ratings Skin Sunspots Skin Sunspots The Problem Skin sunspots are the result of a process called glycaction. When sunlight heats the skin it interacts with a natural chemical called Melanin which gives the skin its color – a lovely sun tan. Over years, this UV radiation builds up melanin pockets in the skin. At the same time, there is another process that takes place under the skin – glycation. Sugar, protein (collagen and elastin) and body heat, produce a chemical reaction – glycation, forming what’s called Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs). This "end-product" makes collagen rigid (collagen that normally helps keep the skin firm and supple). Under prolonged exposure, accumulation in spots of this “by-product” is unavoidable, accelerated by high blood sugar levels. Symptoms: Skin discoloration can be tan or varying shades of brown. They appear on the body parts that get the most sun exposure, such as face, shoulders, back, and the backs of the hands. To some degree, sunspots start to appear around the age of 40, but factors such as sun exposure and skin color may affect that age. Aloe Vera Gel for Sun Spots Removal The recipe - Use fresh Aloe Vera gel. This gel is rich with polyphenol ( Read more ) . Polyphenols are extremely powerful antioxidants found in plants and some of their fruits, to help protect the sugar inside them from oxidation by sunlight UV radiation. The aloe vera plant contains aloesin , a compound that may play a role in treating hyperpigmentation . Aloesin inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme that stimulates melanin production, thereby reducing melanin and encouraging skin lightening. Aloesin is mostly found in the aloin sap in the latex layer of the leaf. Note: The method of extracting the gel from the leaf has a significant importance! Many videos ( this one for example ) that recommend homemade aloe recipes, that start with gel extracted from fresh leaves, refer to the inner gel (see image below). In the context of sun Spots removal we refer to the gel that is scraped from the leaf including the aloin layer that contains the aloin! Aloe gel extraction for Sun Spots: Cut off the tip of the leaf Remove the thorns by cutting narrow strips from the sides of the leaf. Cut and separate between the upper and lower sides of the leaf. Use a serrated kitchen knife to scrape the gel from the skins, laying the skin on the cutting board and scraping from the center of the skin (of the skin's length axis) to one "end" and then to the other. Pour the scraped gel from the cutting board into a small bowel. Use a low speed mixer to homogenize the mix and when ready, pour into a small jar with a cap, and keep it refrigerated for up to a week. For longer periods, store the blend in your freezer. How to Apply: Apply the Aloe mixture in the morning and before you go to sleep (a third application by midday is strongly recommended). It also hydrates and nourishes the skin, helps keep the moisture in the skin, which makes it feel soft, smooth and youthful. As the skin cells regenerate, in fact, human skin will regenerate itself approximately every 27 days, the polyphenol protection will provide the protection needed to prevent the “Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs)” from recreated (provided that you helped by drastically reducing your blood sugar levels!). Expected Results: Dark spots will start to fade and some spots will essentially disappear. First results should be observed in about 6-7 weeks Aloe Gel for Sun Spots Removal 3.0 150 Ratings average rating is 3 out of 5, based on 150 votes, Ratings Reviews Warts Skin Warts, Tags and Moles Warts affect about 10% of the population and 10% to 20% among school-aged children. The human papillomavirus (HPV) causes warts. There are over 100 subtypes (strains) of HPV, but only a few types can cause warts on certain parts of your body. Warts are generally harmless, but they can be bothersome and sometimes painful. As Dr. Berg's loyal readers and listeners we found this video that provides a formula, effective and simple to apply, to remove warts (without getting into the scientific background of what makes it so effective). The Formula: The best natural remedy for skin tags and warts: "Add one drop of povidone-iodine to a small bowl. Crush one clove of garlic and add one drop of the liquid to the bowl with the iodine. Mix to combine. Use a Q-tip to apply the mixture onto the skin tag or wart, and place a Band-Aid over it. Repeat this every day until the wart or skin tag is gone." Our own experience suggests the use of a needle (disinfected with some alcohol) to scratch the wart before you apply the mixture to the wart for the first time, to facilitate better penetration. Also, repeating the application twice a day (morning and evening) would accelerate the process. "There is also a fantastic potential natural remedy for HPV called AHCC. AHCC is an alpha-glucan rich nutritional supplement produced from shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes). AHCC may help increase the potency of your natural killer cells. It re-establishes the strength of your immune system so your body can clear out the virus. It also strengthens the autonomic nervous system."

According to many specialists like Dr. Gundry, lectins confuse the immune system (called molecular mimicry), and cause it to attack the synovial surface of joints and the lining of blood vessels. Synovial surface is a specialized connective soft-tissue membrane that protects the cartilage that covers the joint's bones.Lectins have been shown to attach to the sugar molecule in cartilage called sialic acid , prompting a direct immune attack on the cartilage itself."A recent s tudy looking specifically at the levels of lectin pathway proteins, found a significant association of the level of these proteins in plasma and synoial fluid with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis [26 ]"At this point in time (early 2023) Arthritis is a complex issue to resolve. Still, a drastic cut of lectins intake by eliminating nuts and seeds such as american nuts and (seeds) cashews, peanuts, sunflower, pumpkin, and chia, some of the pain can alleviated, along with a cut down of the progress of the arthritis condition to other joints. Additionally, Dr. Gundry in his book "Unlocking the Keto Code" strongly recommends (page 54) to adopt prebiotic (fiber rich) foods to feed friendly bacteria that guard the wall of your gut, creating a barrier against lectins. These are fiber (inulin) rich foods such as jicama, artichokes, radicchio, endive, and Jerusalem artichokes along with resistant starches like sweet potatoes, taro root, sorghum, and cassava.In conclusion of the above, the right diet and the removal / avoidance of lectins can help stop or considerably slow the arthritis progress. Tissue restoration is a slow process that should also be assisted with anti inflammatory actions as explained below. Arthritis Relieving Herbs "Osteoarthritis (OA) has long been viewed as a degenerative disease of cartilage, but accumulating evidence indicates that inflammation has a critical role in its pathogenesis " (pathogenesis - the origination and development of a disease). Following the recommendation of numerous scientific studies, as we present on this pa ge , we strongly recommend to use the oregano oil to fight the arthritis inflammation. There are many herbal or herbal derivative alternatives that are presented/offered as anti inflammatory agents such as moringa, clove, wormwood....Still, scientific studies (like this recent one ) have repeatedly shown the effectiveness of high quality oregano oil with above 70% carvacrol content (natural, not standardized) as anti inflammatory agent. Curcumin 95 for Arthritis Pain Relief "Studies have shown that curcumin extract has benefit in treating osteoarthritic pain, compared to placebo". The problem with curcumin - its bioavailability (the ability of our guts to digest and make use of it) is very low. That is why it is strongly recommended to use the curcumin 95 which is essentially pure curcumin. "Ingesting curcumin by itself does not lead to the associated health benefits due to its poor bioavailability, which appears to be primarily due to poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and rapid elimination. There are several components that can increase bioavailability. For example, piperine is the major active component of black pepper and, when combined in a complex with curcumin, has been shown to increase bioavailability by 2000%". 5.0 1 Ratings average rating is 5 out of 5, based on 1 votes, Ratings Reviews Arthritis Relieving Herb Curcumin 95 for Arthritis Pain Relief

As detailed below, these drugs are extremely dangerous including sever adverse effects on body organs such as gastric, Renal, Cardiovascular, Hepatic, Hematologic and other minor skin and pulmonary systems ( Read more ) but nonetheless have remained the standard of pain relief practice for decades. This article "DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) is a Miraculous Therapy for Chronic Pain and Musculoskeletal Injuries", describes: "DMSO is a remarkably effective pain-killing agent, in many cases allowing individuals who’d been disabled for years by their pain (e.g., a failed spine surgery or severe arthritis—DMSO’s most popular use) to get their lives back. Furthermore, it can treat many types of pain other therapies do not work on (e.g., complex regional pain syndrome)." Dr Mercola in his article "How DMSO Safely Eliminates 'Incurable' Pain" makes reference to the above article and continues and presents his analysis of the various benefits of DMSO: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) provides powerful pain relief, even helping individuals disabled by conditions like failed spine surgeries or severe arthritis regain health. It is also effective for hard-to-treat pain cases like complex regional pain syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches and post-surgical pain DMSO works through multiple mechanisms to relieve pain, including blocking nerve conduction, reducing inflammation, relaxing muscles, and improving circulation Unlike opioids where tolerance develops over time, DMSO often becomes more effective with continued use, and many patients require it less frequently or not at all as their conditions resolve. With this wide spectrum of benefits without any noticeable side effects, what is left is the suggested application practice. DMSO Topical Appllication Use distilled water to achieve the desired concentration DMSO[1 ]. Be aware that the mixture will generate heat when diluting, so the bottle may feel warm. Concentration Guidelines For general skin application: 50% to 90% DMSO concentration is suitable[2 ]. Use lower concentration for sensitive skin or mucous areas such as face and neck - below 70%. Additional Considerations Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and unbroken before applying DMSO[1 ]. Allow the applied DMSO to dry for 20 to 30 minutes before wiping off any excess[1 ]. For first-time users, start with a lower concentration to test for sensitivity[3 ]. Safety Precautions Only use pharmaceutical-grade DMSO for topical applications[4 ]. Avoid using industrial-grade DMSO, as it may contain harmful impurities[4 ]. Clean both the application site and your hands thoroughly before use to prevent contaminant absorption[1 ]. Heartburn & Acid Reflux Heartburn & Acid Reflux The terms acid reflux, heartburn, and GERD are often used interchangeably, but they actually mean different things. Acid reflux is the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus. The feeling of acid reflux is heartburn: a mild burning sensation in the mid-chest, often occurring after meals or when lying down. SAFE AND EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES TO ELIMINATE HEARTBURN AND ACID REFLUX Acid reflux is an extremely common health problem , affecting as many as 50 percent of Americans. Other terms used for this condition are gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or peptic ulcer disease. The hallmark symptom of acid reflux is “heartburn”—a burning sensation behind your breastbone that sometimes travels up your throat. In some cases, this pain can be severe enough to be mistaken for a heart attack. Conventionally, acid reflux is thought to be caused by excessive amounts of acid in your stomach, which is why acid-blocking drugs are typically prescribed or recommended. This is a serious medical misconception that adversely affects hundreds of millions of people, as the problem usually results from having too little acid in your stomach. Besides addressing your day-to-day diet and optimizing your gut flora, a number of other strategies can also help you get your heartburn under control: Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar − As mentioned earlier, acid reflux typically results from having too little acid in your stomach. You can easily improve the acid content of your stomach by taking one tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar in a large glass of water. Still, research of its effectiveness to overcome acid reflux is rather limited Baking soda − One-half to one full teaspoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in an eight-ounce glass of water to ease the burn of acid reflux as it helps neutralize stomach acid. It is not recommend as a regular solution but it can sure help in an emergency when you are in excruciating pain. Aloe juice − The juice of the aloe plant naturally helps reduce inflammation, and control the acid secretion in the stomach . which may ease symptoms of acid reflux. Drink about 1/2 cup of aloe vera juice before meals. If you want to avoid its laxative effect, look for a brand that has removed the laxative component. Ginger root or chamomile tea − Ginger has been found to have a gastroprotective effect by blocking acid and suppressing helicobacter pylori. According to this study , it’s also far superior to lansoprazole for preventing the formation of ulcers, exhibiting six - to eight-fold greater potency over the drug! This is perhaps not all that surprising, considering the fact that ginger root has been traditionally used against gastric disturbances since ancient times. Add two or three slices of fresh ginger root to two cups of hot water. Let steep for about half an hour. Drink about 20 minutes or so before your meal. Before bed, try a cup of chamomile tea, which can help soothe stomach inflammation and help you sleep. Vitamin D − Vitamin D is important for addressing any infectious component. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in optimizing the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that will help your body eradicate any infection that shouldn’t be there. Discussed in many previous articles, you can increase your vitamin D levels through appropriate amounts of sun exposure, or using a safe tanning bed. If neither of those are available, you can take an oral vitamin D3 supplement; just remember to also increase your vitamin K2 intake. Ear Pain and Wax Removal Ear Pain and Wax Removal Ear Pain originates from a number of different causes. Although potentially painful and frustrating, most are not dangerous. As with most symptoms you experience, it is an indication of something wrong. It's important to also pinpoint the origin of the pain and not just treat the symptom. Most doctors and pediatricians may prescribe antibiotics or pain medication for an earache. however, research de monstrates that most middle ear infections , may be resolved with simple remedies or will be resolved spontaneously within a week. Note that neither the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nor the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend using antibiotics immediately to treat ear infections. But, ear infections are not the only reason you or your child may experience an ear pain. Ear pains may be associated with other conditions, not necessarily associated with inflammation, such as toothache, cold or flu, tooth grinding during sleep and more. The solutions offered below are for the most frequent earache problem, a buildup or blockage in the ear canal. symptoms: Earache Itching, odor or discharge from your ear Partial or progressive hearing loss Tinnitus, ringing or noises in your ear Feeling of fullness in the ear canal Recommended Practice - Oregano lotion for EARACHE As we discuss above oregano oil oral intake practice and its anti-inflammatory formula are a proven solution to many inflammatory related health issues cute including otitis media (an infection of the middle ear that causes inflammation - redness and swelling) and other infection related ear problems. Note! Hydrogen peroxide practice as prescribed below for wax removal is a good alternative for mild earache cases. Removal of accumulated wax: Note! According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology (4 Oct 2022) Head and Neck Surgery Foundation, as long as the ears are functioning properly, people should not be trying to remove ear wax, and should leave it alone. For the vast majority, ear wax does not cause any problems and there isn't a need to remove it. If you feel that the wax impairs your hearing and you want to clear it, start with hydrogen peroxide (Read below ), or else, use a water jet irrigator (Read more below ) Ear Plugs! Most common hearing "blockage" - There are many reasons why people would use ear plugs. Most of those users aren't aware that the action of inserting the ear plugs into the ears "drags" with it wax and other skin debris from the ear canal and pushes them towards the ear drum, thereby impairing the hearing ability requiring one of the methods to remove the blockage, as discussed below. Bottomline, try to avoid the usage of ear plugs! Using a Water Jet ( irrigation device) Use an irrigation device that has a straight nozzle, one that makes it easy to use one hand to irrigate your ear out as opposed to bottles that requires the use of two hands. Note: There is an advantage to a device that allows you to tilt your head to the side of the treated ear, to allow for easy drip of the water that are coming out, into a sink/bathtub etc. On a personal level, I prefer an "Oral Irrigator Water Flosser " that allows for an easy navigation of the tip into the ear while the water jet is running out, and easy water temperature adjustment. Hydrogen Peroxide For EARACHE and WAX REMOVAL: Use a dropper to drip 5-10 drops of food grade 99.9% hydrogen peroxide into the ear canal, laying on the side to help the drops "slide" into the ear canal. Let it "bubble" for a few minutes and then if it does not drips out, you may want to use an oral irrigator or use a set of accessories as can be found here . Note! this recommendation is based on personal experience of all members of our community. This scientific article (among others) substantiates this recommendation but does not mention the oral irrigator or tattoo washing bottle that we found as great help for the wax removal process. It is also crucial for people to ensure that they will not have an allergic reaction or be sensitive to the lotion. It is possible to test this by dabbing a tiny amount of the lotion onto a small area of skin. If the skin does not react after a few hours, it should be safe to use the oil. The skin inside the ear may be more sensitive than other areas, so people should continue to monitor the skin for any signs of irritation. Notice: Never put anything into the ear canal if you think the eardrum may be ruptured or if you know there is a small hole in your eardrum. If fluid or oils will pass through the hole a permanent damage may be incurred to the delicate bones behind the eardrum, leaving you with permanent hearing loss. Expected results: Clearing of the ear, removal of the pain and “back to normal” hearing. Repetitions: Some of the accumulated wax may not be sufficiently removed and it may take about 24 hours for it to soften with the solutions that were dripped into the ear. Repeat the “irrigation” if the problem persists after a day of the first “dripping”. Go to see a doctor if the problem is not resolved after the second “irrigation”. 3.7 3 Ratings average rating is 3.7 out of 5, based on 3 votes, Ratings Reviews 4.0 2 Ratings average rating is 4 out of 5, based on 2 votes, Ratings Reviews 3.0 150 Ratings average rating is 3 out of 5, based on 150 votes, Ratings Reviews Oregano oil practice for EARACHE Hydrogen Peroxide For the EARACHE Using a Water Jet

We strongly recommend that you make it part of your daily diet. DAVID'S HEALTH SECRET “Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.”Song of Solomon 4:14 Processed vs raw fresh aloe PROCESSED VS RAW FRESH ALOE Pasteurization The market is flooded with aloe juices, and gels that are so-called "FRESH". The problem is that all of these products, which are sold through various marketing channels, may have been passed through forceful extraction of shredders pulverizers and the like, pasteurized, aloin extraction and decolorization using activated carbon, and contain additives of some sort such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to be so-called "enriched". Last but not least, remember that food processing equipment and manual handling require the use of various chemicals for aseptic sterilization. Pasteurization is a process in which packaged and non-packaged foods (such as milk and fruit juice) are treated with mild heat, usually to less than 100 °C (212 °F), to eliminate pathogens and extend shelf life . The process is intended to destroy or deactivate organisms and enzymes that contribute to spoilage or risk of disease, including vegetative bacteria, but not bacterial spores. Here is what ChatGPT has to say about Pasteurization: "Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions in living organisms. They are sensitive to temperature, and excessive heat can denature them, meaning it disrupts their structure and function. In pasteurization, while the intention is to kill harmful microorganisms, some of the enzymes in the fruit juice may also be affected, leading to changes in flavor, color, and nutritional content." Activated carbon Decolorization and Aloin removal processing is yet another aloe leaf processing that cuts the aloin content in the aloe gel of the fresh leaf, from 10,000 - 20,000 ppm to less than 10 ppm. Problem is that some of the most potent anti-inflammatory qualities of the aloe leaf are in its aloin element "The present results indicate that aloin and aloe-emodin possibly suppress the inflammatory responses" [REF ], "The most relevant antioxidants present in Aloe plants are aloin" [REF ]. There are many scientific studies and other claims that aloin is toxic! Is it? Learn more below . To sum it in short - it's all a matter of the dosage used! Drinking a glass of aloe gel smoothie after removing the aloe skin as we demonstrate on this page cuts the aloin content to marginal if at all. Other so-called aloe products are formulated from aloe powder (of dried extract) which also contains only a small fraction of the huge variety of beneficial ingredients that are contained in the fresh aloe leaves (read more ). Read more - enzyme destructio n in blenders . These processing techniques are not just “words” they make a lot of a difference between the benefits of the raw gel and aloin of the leaf at the time of extraction, and their derivative products after going through industrial processing. Aloe enzymes are the most sensitive to these pro cessing stages , but still they are most important in their contribution to our digestive system "essential enzymes, which stimulate digestion and liver functions" [REF ]! Enzymes are essential for healthy digestion and a healthy body. They work with other chemicals in the body, such as stomach acid and bile, to help break down food into molecules for a wide range of bodily functions. This scientific article that tested the action of Aloe vera on the profiles of enzymes associated with carcinogen metabolism and antioxidant status regulation in mice CONCLUDES: "Out of the various aloe vera processing stages, pasteurization is the most destructive in its impact on the enzyme content of the finished product, when compared to the content of the raw aloe vera leaves."

Scientific studies and father Romano Zago's own experience show that his therapeutic recipe that includes raw fresh aloe leaves, raw - quality honey, and alcohol ( read more here ) should become a daily supplement in every north american home . quality honey and alcohol can be found in almost any grocery, but fresh aloe arborescens (aloe in short) leaves are simply not available (unless you grow it yourself). frozen aloe vera barbadensis (aloe vera in short) leaves are a very good alternative to the aloe arborescens leaves! here is why: Freezing the leaves on the same day that they are harvested, preserves all their nutritional ingredients. NOTE! Scientific studies showed that in order to avoid the loss of biological activity of aloe leaves, any processing (including home processing) of the leaves must be completed within 36 h of their harvesting. Notice! Shipping and storage of fresh aloe vera leaves sold in groceries take many days (and often times - weeks) causing significant degradation of their beneficial ingredients ( Read more , Watch more ). Dr. Ivan Danhof, MD, Ph.D. in his paper " The Therapeutic Components in Aloe Vera " attributes most of the aloe vera beneficial therapeutic properties to the polysaccharides which are 2.4 times richer in the aloe vera leaf's skin when compared to their content in the leaf's gel (Read more on the aloe vera leaf structure here ) ! Many other studies have shown the significant beneficial ingredients that are contained in the "aloin" (found in the aloe Latex layer). Read more [ 1 ], [ 2 ], A scientific study that compared the beneficial ingredients of the aloe vera shows that the aloe vera has the same beneficial ingredients as the aloe arborescens but in terms of beneficial ingredients by weight ratio (using whole leaves), aloe vera has 60% more polysaccharides, 43% less aloin and 70% less antioxidants . When we take the top section of the aloe vera leaf which contains much smaller amount of gel - what we call the "gel slim section" and use it for the recipe, we substantially increase the content of the polysaccharides and therefore, the therapeutic potential of the recipe ( Read more here on the two plants and their use ). What are the applications of the frozen al oe vera "gel rich sections"? The applications are numerous! First and foremost, the aloe vera gel contains the glucomannan which hinders tumor cell metastasis (cancer cell growth). Numerous aloe vera users, made the leaves' gel part of their daily diet, as a preventive measure, by preparing smoothies, juices and so many other recipes. Learn more about the best way to extract the gel out of the gel-rich section and prepare yet another healthy juice formula. The results of consuming our aloe leaves are likely to be much better and more dramatic than the proven benefits that have been discovered so far in the research studies as we present in the Scientific Studies page . Aloin related Scientific studies Is aloe toxic? IS ALOIN TOXIC? An extensive review of many scientific studies on the subject of aloin toxicity is presented by Father Zago in his book “Cancer can be cured” on pages 138 - 153. Just one citation brought in this section is copied from the book "Aloe – Myth Magic Medicine", by Odus M. Hennessee and Bill R. Cook, (P.11) that reads:"The sap contains most of the medicinal agents and is much more than a laxative or treatment for minor skin ailments. Some are convinced that the outermost aloe skin has no curative virtues, notwithstanding the fact it contains a large number of nutritional elements, found in the sap and gel. Previous studies have proved that the skin is neither harmful nor dangerous, as many people have claimed. Logic suggests that use of the whole leaf is preferable.” More recent study published by the US National Institutes of Health concludes (see section "3.8.1. Toxicology"): "Until now there are no published controlled in vivo toxicology studies of Aloe vera in humans (Steenkamp and Stewart 2007). In animal studies, Aloe vera-derived ingredients were not found to be toxic in acute oral studies using mice and rats." . In conclusion, the above materials indicate that so far there are no findings that indicate toxic side effects in humans as long as the ingestion and topical application of aloin and the other aloe vera whole leaf ingredients is within the range of Father Zago's recipe and servings (dosage) guidelines. Aloin related scientific studies The leaves peeled skin and its thin layer of gel and aloin is doing wonders when used for topical applications, that require anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral remedies, fighting acne ( Read more ), dark spots , Simple herpes, herpes zoster and numerous other applications, as mentioned in Father Zago's book "Aloe isn't Medicine and Yet...It Cures!" (some of these applications are collected in this paper ). The market is flooded with aloe juices, and gels that are so called "FRESH". The problem is that all of these products, which are sold through various marketing channels, may have been mechanically peeled, pasteurized, passed forceful extraction, decolorized (for aloin removal) and contain additives of some sort to be so called "enriched". Other so called aloe products are formulated from aloe powder (of dried extract) which also contains only a small fraction of the huge variety of beneficial ingredients that are contained in the fresh aloe leaves ( read more ). BOTTOM LINE: MAKE SURE THAT THE ALOE PRODUCT YOU USE IS STRICTLY NATURAL AND FRESH WITH ALL THE BENEFITS THAT THE ALOE PLANT HAS PROVED TO ENCAPSULATE!

Gluteal muscles (Gluteus medius muscle) - this s tudy (among others) has found That "gluteus medius muscle in participants with LBP tended to demonstrate reduced strength and more trigger points compared to the gluteus medius muscle of those without LBP the link". To strengthen these muscles and keep the flexibility of the hip join, tighten and relax these muscles, numerous times, or pick your favorite exercise from numerous YouTube Glu teal muscle strengthening practices - start the search with the keywords "Gluteal strengthening workout". Thighs - these two studies [REF ], [R EF ] and numerous others have established the link between "Lower limb muscle strength in patients with low back pain". Take action to strengthen these muscles, starting with the simplest practice sitting and getting up from a chair, and continue with numerous others presented on YouTube - start the search with the keywords "thigh workout". Groin - The groin muscles are part of the lower limbs muscles that have a significant role in LBP as presented in the linked references in the thigh section above. To strengthen these muscles put a small bottle between your legs, and again, tighten and relax your thighs, squeezing the bottle in between them. Watch for other options on YouTube, starting the search with the keywords "groin strengthening workout". (Example 1 Example 2 ) The muscle tightening should last about 20-30 sec and so the relaxation time. Throughout these exercises, the back should be kept relaxed! Abdominal muscles (and lower abdominal muscle in particular) play a major role in stabilizing the trunk. If abdominal muscles become weak, trunk stability also decreases and low back pain occurs. Therefore, abdominal muscle strengthening exercises have been used to reduce pain in patients with low back pain [REF ] , [REF ] ).

Last but not least, the sphincter muscles .Studies have shown "Sphincter involvement in lumbar disc herniation". Take "preventive actions" - Tightening and relaxing the sphincter (anus) muscles numerous times during the day.
