Acne
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
Aloe Vera Gel I was
able to celebrate my 21st birthday with an almost total clearance of spots.

Acne
March 1998, Newcastle College
I found your website of great interest as I suffer from Acne Roseacea.
Having suffered for seven years, I heard of Aloe Vera and decided to take
it. The effect was immediate. Within days my skin condition eased greatly.
Although not cured, I am very much a healthier person now that I am taking
Aloe Vera. Many thanks.
Extract from Anne Bulcraig's Asthma Testimonial
I must also mention my skin, which has always been, I felt, rather spotty &
grotty. People have started to ask me if I'm using a new make-up. I'm not.
The Aloe lotion is
fantastic. It's the only moisturizer that's really worked on me and made a
visual difference. Also, the Aloe Vera Gelly is brilliant for spots. One tiny dab and the spot heals
quickly without leaving a mark.
Allergies
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 diarrhea 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.

Allergies
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 Aloe Vera 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.

Allergies
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!

My nine-year-old dog has a case of eczema, which was being treated by the
vet with a steroid cream. I used two tubes over four weeks with no
improvement whatsoever.
I was introduced to Forever Living Products and tried the
Aloe Propolis Creme.
The eczema totally cleared up within two days.

Arthritis
I have just discovered your site & would like to say that I think it is
superb! I have been taking Forever Living Product’s aloe vera gel & more
recently, “Forever Freedom”
aloe gel for about 3 months as I was told it might improve the arthritis I
had developed in my right knee. All my doctor had advised me was to take
painkillers & gentle exercise. I noticed a difference in 3 weeks & 3 months
on I am no longer experiencing the daily pain or morning stiffness or the
difficulty in climbing the stairs. In fact, I am back to exercising at the
gym 3 times a week!
About 6 weeks ago I also started giving the gel to my Jack Russell, Candy
who had been diagnosed as having arthritis in her rear right knee – she had
to be carried everywhere, not even being able to manage the back doorstep,
let alone the stairs! Now she has her bounce back & is joining us with our
other dog for daily walks again on the beach. Another benefit to this is the
avoidance of a recommended operation which would have cost £400! From 5pm in
the evening she pesters me until she has been given her daily dose of
Forever Freedom aloe gel – a dog’s instinct maybe in knowing what is good
for her?
We have both also in the last couple of weeks started using a new Forever
Living Product – Aloe MSM
Gel, which gets rubbed in daily, so far, so good – the 2 together seem
to be a great combination!
I must say that, generally, I feel better overall as a result of taking this
daily tonic – I bore this out, having gone on holiday for a week &
forgetting the gel, not only did my knee start playing up again, but I
didn’t have the same amounts of energy or general feeling of wellness until
I returned & got back to my “daily dosage” again. I have also for the last
couple of years suffered quite badly from sinusitis and am, in fact,
awaiting an operation. Before taking aloe vera, every cold I got would
develop into sinusitis & require anti-biotic, now, although I have had a
couple of colds they have not been as severe and required no medication.
My mother is now taking the aloe vera gel daily
and using the gelly externally hoping to help a rare condition she has
called necrobiosis lipoidica. I will let you know how she gets on with it.
I hope this might be of some help to any others who have experienced the
pain of arthritis.

Karen Russell
Arthritis
Hello,
I am Jackie Brown, from Easley, SC. I have been drinking the aloe vera juice
about seven years now. I have arthritis real bad in my body. I have no pain
nor swelling if I drink the aloe juice. I have conducted many tests to see
if I was fooling myself about this juice. If I quit drinking the juice,
within a week, my knees swell, hands swell, and I have terrible pain. I
cannot even walk when this occurs. Then, I start back drinking the juice and
every symptom goes away. I am known for my preaching of this product. I tell
everyone I know and believe me... I know what I am talking about. My
arthritis is so bad that sometimes I have to drink an extra dose to keep the
pain down. My father had this disease. Most people think I am nuts but me
and my aloe vera knows... I wish the medical field would let this
information out to their patients.. of course, they would not have jobs very
long. I guess that is why the drug companies do not even go there.
They want to sell their expensive drugs that kill you eventually.
Thanks for listening...

Arthritis
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.
Arthritis
At the beginning of January 1996 I decide to try Aloe Vera Heat Lotion
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.
W.T.
Arthritis
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.

Arthritis
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.
Matthew Wright.
Arthritis
In my job I spend long periods on my feet. I also have an old sports injury
in my knee. I told my Doctor of the pain in my right knee –he told me that I
needed the cartilage removed!
My son (who is a Distributor for FLP) recommended I try the
Freedom Gel and the
Heat Lotion. I also took the Arctic Sea
capsules and within six weeks, I noticed mobility returning to the knee. It
was less stiff and I could walk for longer periods.
Four months later, I am now pain-free because of the
Forever Freedom Gel.
Thank You!

Arthritis and IBS
I have been suffering from Arthritis for the last 18 months. I like
walking and cycling but found it painful to do either. My Doctor said it was
normal wear and tear but I did not accept this.
I started taking Forever
Freedom and the Essentials and after a month I noticed that my knee
wasn’t painful after a long walk. Six months later there is no pain and I
can pretty much do what I like!
Another great bonus is I also suffered from IBS for a number of years and
since taking the Freedom all traces have disappeared.
Brigid Hughes, Dublin 7 Age 61
Asthma - Sinusitis
At the age of 7 my daughter developed asthma and sinusitis. The years that
followed were filled with pain and anguish. We removed the carpet from our
home and got rid of stuffed animals. Diana was put on Albuteral, Intal and
Prednisone. These drugs, like many others, have horrible side effects.
Holidays were spent in hospital rooms. School days were spent at home. She
would watch other children play outside from the window. She walked around
like a zombie. Years went by and her condition grew more serious. Diana’s
doses increased. It was as if she did not even have a life.
Finally, I asked the doctor, “When is Diana going to stop taking this
medicine?”
“Never,” was his cold response.
I do not blame the doctors. Most just do what they are told. They are not
taught to explore permanent cures. Well, you should never tell a mother her
only daughter will be sick all of her life. I went on a rampage of research
trying alternative methods from all over the world. When I was ready to give
in, I tried one more remedy. I was persuaded to try a remedy with bee pollen
and aloe vera. Diana and I used it half-heartedly. There was an immediate
response. I purchased the entire remedy. Slowly we replaced the
“traditional” treatments until she was completely off of them. Natural
remedies did not just attack a symptom; they boosted Diana’s immune system
to fight its own battles. I was never able to look at her run in
cross-country running meets. I was so afraid for her. She went from a girl
who could not laugh hard for fear of an asthma attack, to a competitive
runner with strong lungs. She still hates Christmas time and has trouble
talking about her experience. To her, Christmas is a time spent in a
hospital room. Diana, the university freshman, now has a normal life.

Athlete's Foot
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.

Back Pain
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.
Christine Carlisle.
Back Pain
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.
Back Pain
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 neighbor, 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.
Back Pain
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.
Back Pain
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.
Edith McCurdy.
Bleeding Gums
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.
K. Carlisle, Templepatrick.
Brittle Hair
I used to have very coarse, brittle hair. I also used to have problems
finding a shampoo that didn't cause a reaction to my face if it should get
on to the skin.
Now Aloe Jojoba Shampoo

Burns
Once while using a cutting torch on a (molten red hot) section of pipe I cut
to be lowered on a rope spun around allowing it to melt on contact a round
section of my forearm (very unpleasant and painful).
The caretaker of the boiler we were disassembling cut a peace of Aloe to
squeeze on my burn the pain subsided within two hours and to this day I have
no scar on a wound that should have branded me for life.
I have kept an aloe vera plant in my home ever since.
A believer.

Burns
”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.
Burns
“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.
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.
Burns
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.
Burns
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.
Burns
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 ?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.
Cold Sores
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.
Rachel F.
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
diarrhea 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 skeptical 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 diarrhea 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
diarrhea 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.”
Jean W.
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.
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.
David de Gernier.
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.

Diabetes
Diane Colman. June1997
Having been a diabetic for 26 years with the problems associated with this
condition, loss of kidney function resulting in dialysis and later to my
relief a kidney and pancreas transplant, making me since June 1993 insulin
free. Although I am now no longer a diabetic I still have the damage that 26
years has done to my circulatory system.
Thus I found myself in September of 1996. I had had a small blister on my
toe and although I was keeping it clean and putting antiseptic cream on it,
it did not seem to be healing. I had shown it to the Doctor but he said it
was OK. One night I woke up with a tremendous pain in it and the next day
went to the Doctors and was informed I has a bad infection in it and was put
on an intensive course of Antibiotics. The toe improved slightly but, as
soon as I stopped taking the pills it flared up again. So I was taken into
Hospital for another course of Antibiotics, by this time I was on very
strong pain killers. At the and of all this I was informed that the toe was
Gangrenous and that I would either have to have it amputated or wait for the
toe to drop off.
This was the news given to me the day before we went to Workshop for the
weekend in March 1997 and it was on the return from that trip that the
miracle occurred. We stopped at a Craft Fair in Sheffield and here we met
Ken and Julie Johnson, they introduced me to the Forever Living Products
Aloe Propolis cream and their Aloe Vera gelly. I began using them straight
away and immediately my husband saw a difference. Within 2 weeks I was off
the pain killers.
Now 3 months later I can honestly say that my toe is back to normal. Whereas
I could only walk a few yards, and that was in great pain. I am now back to
walking on average 2 miles a night, with no trouble.
Diabetes
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 counseling 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!!

Eczema
Five weeks after giving birth to my son Joe I noticed spots on his forehead
which spread down to his shoulders. Our Doctor diagnosed eczema. Joe was now
four months old and was proscribed steroid creams and balneum, a
moisturizing cream.
By Seven months his face and neck were infected and he had scaly skin over
his body. A friend suggested Aloe Propolis Crème. As a natural anti-biotic it appealed to me. We
started using the Propolis with the steroids and noticed in a few weeks the
infection on his face going down. After a month it had virtually gone and
his skin was softer and less itchy.
When Joe was 11 months, we introduced the Aloe Berry Nectar drink and weaned
him off the steroids. Joe is now three. We still use the Propolis and he has
near-normal skin as well as being free from the distress of constant
irritation.

Energy - Stress
To whom it may concern, I just want to write a few words to say how pleased
I am since I've started using Aloe Vera products. I used to be very tired
and stressed out all of the time. When I was introduced to Aloe Vera I was
very skeptical about using it, but said, "what the hell, it can't make me
any worse." So I did. I have been taking Bee Pollen and drinking the Gel for
about 4 months now and have found great energy from these. I then went on to
take Royal Jelly and found they calmed me. I would recommend these to anyone
who feels like this as I've had great results.

Energy - Improved Health
I've taking Aloe Berry Nectar for about three weeks. Since taking it I feel
the benefit of it, I have a lot more energy, and I feel that I am losing a
lot of fluid, I am sleeping very well at night. I am also able to go out
shopping now, as before I didn't have the inclination nor the energy to do
so. I have just started to take Lycium as I am troubled with Phlebitis and
varicose veins. I was troubled with kidney and chest infections but the Gel
has given me relief and I haven't had any bother since. I am 75 years of age
and feel good. I would recommend Forever Living Products to everyone.
Thank God for Forever Living Products.

Ear Problems
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.

Ear Problems
I had a bad ear ache so my cousin Clare put Activator on a teaspoon
and put it in my ear. It made my ear tickle a bit, but it felt better in
five minutes.
Thank you, Activator and cousin Clare.

Energy
As the mother of three young children, and the wife of a full time student,
my life is very hectic, with lots of demands every minute of the day! I was
interested in anything that would give me more energy—something I never had
enough of! I was constantly running out of steam throughout the day! That
didn’t just put a toll on me, but my whole family as well! I’ve always been
"nutrition conscious" and not given to fads that come and go. If anything,
I’m skeptical! What attracted me to the Forever Living program was its
sensibility and overall good nutrition/health concept. I have low blood
sugar and was especially interested in aloe vera to see if it could really
help stabilize those highs and lows! I noticed a difference the very first
week of using it! I couldn’t believe how bad it had been until I started
feeling so much better! I had more stamina throughout the day. Also, because
I wasn’t so tired and on edge, I was less short with the kids. I felt more
on top of things. Also, after the kids went to bed, I actually had some
energy and motivation left for myself! This was an emotional boost. It’s
been 4 1/2 weeks now, and I see several gradual changes besides the
stabilizing of the blood sugar levels. My concept of food as fuel—not just
satisfying a hunger. My sweet intake is way down and I’m having much more
success controlling those cravings. I just don’t have the cravings as much.
I’m also reading labels and know our fat consumption is greatly decreased.
I’m starting to see the benefit of that now too, losing some inches around
my middle and my legs! The program hasn’t been just for me, but the whole
family too. Our snacks are better. The kids last through those stressful
late afternoon hours better. This program is one I will follow for years to
come! I’m convinced it’s superior nutrition. I feel better and look better.
As far as preventive medicine is concerned, this program tops the list in
staying healthy!

Epilepsy
Ten years, at the age of 18, I developed epilepsy. Quite often at the time I
was wakening up and there was a doctor standing over me. I was put on
treatment and sent for an EEG. I was doing quite well for a while but after
the birth of my daughter I was back at square one again.
I was having seizures all the time and tried all types of treatment. At this
stage I was just about coping. I became pregnant again and reacted badly to
the treatments.
My seizures were now so frequent I was having them in my sleep.
My medication was increased again. I was having 3 or 4 seizures a day with
no quality of life at all. I was introduced to Forever Living Products and
decided to try
The Aloe Vera Gel. In just two weeks I had taken three seizures but now
being on the Gel long term, I am seizure free.

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 with it. I decided to try Aloe Activator and so I
began putting the Activator in the eye. After about two or three weeks I
noticed that the black spot had totally gone.

Fatigue
It was evident after taking Aloe Vera Gel that I received a new level of
energy from the product. I seem to have more get-up-and-go now which has
helped me in my own life and at work. I intend to keep using this product
for as long as I live.

Fat Loss
When my normally healthy sixty-year-old mother was told she had high blood
pressure due to her weight, I began to find out more about your program from
a co-worker. My mom decided she would give FLP a try and within a few short
weeks she not only lowered her blood pressure, but she looked and felt
better. To date she has lost over 30 pounds and several inches of fat from
your program. When I saw the results, and the energy my mom now had I
decided to try the program myself. In only eight weeks I lost 12 inches of
fat and had more energy to handle my full time job, attend college part
time, and run a household for myself and my husband. Your "eating program"
is unlike any diet I have ever tried. It not only lets you eat all day long
but you are eating real food. Thanks for your dedication and determination
to make this program a reality for people like me.

Fat Loss - Improved Health
Dear Forever Seagulls, I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am to have had
the good fortune of discovering the Forever Living Program!! ...As a
Physical Education teacher (before becoming a Mother), and an avid promoter
of exercise, I’ve always prided myself on knowing how to eat properly, how
to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and how to control my weight. This, of
course, didn’t mean that it was always easy. In fact, I’ve been struggling
with being overweight all my life. By the time I was 18, I had learned
almost every fad diet there was, and the yo-yo syndrome on my metabolism had
begun. Fortunately, I was blessed with some athletic ability; and my
involvement in competitive swimming and gymnastics led me to continue in the
Physical and Health Education field at University. By learning more about
how our bodies function, I know that lots of exercise with a relatively
balanced diet was the only way to live. This took discipline, and also
included deprivation of food. What I didn’t realize is that I wasn’t
consuming enough calories in a day to provide all the nutrients that my body
needed. Also, before FLP, I believed I had reached my ideal weight, and the
I would just have to live with my "chunky" legs. I was absolutely thrilled
when, after 3 or 4 weeks on your program, I had lost two inches from my hips
and two inches from my legs. That was a breakthrough for me! And not only
that, at age 40, I feel better, lighter, healthier, and more energetic than
I ever felt at age 20. In fact, most days I’m euphoric! I want to shout
about this from the roof tops, because this program is REAL. It has real
benefits. It’s not a magic trick. It’s safe and it’s easy. In a world full
of big business, quick fixes, diet potions, and expensive gimmicks, finally
there is Forever Living whose incredible wealth of knowledge in geriatrics;
high standards; integrity; and most of all, beautiful gift of sharing is
giving people a way to be healthy, not only in body, but in mind and
spirit!!
Thank you so much!,

Fat Loss - Energy
“As you know, my background is in fitness and nutrition with a Bachelor of
Science in adult Corporate Fitness from Abilene Christian University. I was
skeptical at first of your program, so I decided to give it a try for 30
days to see if it worked for myself and my clients. I was amazed with the
results in just that short time period. Working 12-hour days as a personal
trainer, my energy level was constantly low. Almost at once, I felt an
increase in energy on starting the Program. I also lost 10 pounds of body
fat within the 30-day trial. Soon after having these positive results, I
became pregnant. There is a history of the women in my family gaining 40 to
50 pounds during pregnancy. During my pregnancy I gained only 23 pounds, and
left the hospital with 18 of those pounds gone. I was amazed to be at my
original weight within six weeks after having Clinton! My mother-in-law,
Carmen, also had a miraculous success. Just before Christmas, she had her
blood work done and found that her triglycerides were over 700 and her
cholesterol was over 300. Carmen started on the program January 2nd and
three weeks later had her blood work done again. Both her triglycerides and
cholesterol had dropped dramatically to the 220 range! You can imagine what
wonderful news this was to her and to our family. She was also happy to lose
20 pounds of body fat in eight weeks. With these successful results, I am a
firm believer in the Forever Living Products.
Thank you for all of your support.”

Fibromyalgia - I.B.S.
To whom it may concern, I am 36 years of age and have had Fibromyalgia for 4
years and I.B.S. for 2 years. I have been using Aloe Vera Gel for two months
and have found a great improvement, especially concerning my I.B.S. The Gel
has made me feel calmer and more relaxed within myself. I find I have more
energy than before, and I am able to concentrate better and be more focused.
I have been attending my own GP and hospital clinics for the past 5 years on
a regular basis and have received various treatments, from pain killers,
anti-depressants to physiotherapy but have always been disappointed with the
results. Until now I thought I would just have to put up with the pain and
the way these illnesses had affected me. The Aloe Vera Gel has proven
different. Not only have I noticed the change within me, but so has my
husband, family and friends, and they are delighted with the results.

Fibromyalgia - Asthma
I suffered with Fibromyalgia for 10 years. Fibromyalgia is a condition
which is very inhibiting .I had inflammation in all of the muscles and soft
tissues of the body. I was unable to do even small things like cleaning my
teeth without extreme pain. I also was exhausted and spent a lot of my time
in and out of bed. Sleep was a thing of the past! I suffered from
depression, and I was very overweight. A friend introduced me to Aloe Vera
gel in October 1999. By Christmas 1999 I was feeling the energy building up
in my body. I was able to peel potatoes for the first time in years! This
may sound trivial but believe me anyone out there with the same condition
knows what I'm talking about! I have been taking the gel now for 14 months
and I am off all my medication. I kept in touch with my doctor all the way
through and every time I felt I had improved further he lessened my
medication until I did not need any more. I also had chronic asthma for 6
years and needed 3 inhalers a day. Along with the gel which I was taking
regularly I started to take the Garlic and Thyme (2x3times daily) and Gingko
(1at nighttime). Inside 6 weeks I was off all three inhalers! Needless to
say my doctor was delighted. He is a great believer in self help and
alternative therapies. To-day I am still clear of asthma. I still have
Fibromyalgia but the gel is keeping me virtually pain free. I can do so many
things now that I was restricted with that I sometimes get carried away and
tend to overdo things. One other thing, I always suffered from mouth ulcers
and since I started using Forever Bright Toothgel I haven't had even one!! I
am 49 years young and feel healthier now than when I was 29.

Flu
I was introduced to Aloe Vera Gel in December 1996. I was initially
skeptical 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.

Getting children to take vitamins has always been difficult in our family.
Christina takes the Forever Honey each morning and loves it. It's a painless
way of getting all the vitamins she needs synergistically. When she gets a
slight cough or a sore throat, out comes the honey again. Many thanks to the

Even though I have suffered sore heads most of my life, within two weeks of
taking the aloe Gel I have had no more headaches since. Also, I have tried
all of the Forever Living Products and am happy with all, especially their

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
moisturized.
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.

Gout
For many years I have suffered quite regularly from Gout, which is an
extremely painful condition. I have never been able to pinpoint what exactly
triggers it off.
However, I can confirm that I have not suffered the same frequency of
attacks since taking the Aloe Vera Gel.
In addition, I have also been taking the Arctic-Sea capsules and the
combination of the two have afforded me considerable and sustained relief
from Gout.

Head Lice
November 1997, Surrey
For months I have been having problems clearing my daughter Jessica's hair
of Head Lice. There is an epidemic in the schools at the moment. I have
tried specialist lotions and many other suggestions given by the pharmacist.
None have worked.
Aloe jojoba shampoo has. After just three consecutive days of washing her
hair, it was completely clear, and even though she had been playing with
children that still had them4 she has not picked any new ones up. Not only
has the shampoo cleared her hair, it seems to be working as a preventive
also. My friend have already bought some shampoo to use on their own
children. Jessica's hair is also is much easier to brush and looks very
shiny and healthy.
So thank you once again and thanks from Jessica who doesn't have to suffer
any more.
Hey Fever
Tim Hill, 27
BA Hons Management Science,
Strathclyde University, Scotland
How did we discover Aloe?
In the summer of 1996 Agnieszka was suffering her worst year of Hay fever
ever. She had suffered from the ailment since childhood but this year was so
chronic we were not getting more than 3 or 4 hours sleep every night. We did
our usual trek back and forwards to the doctors and went through all the
various tablets that promised amazing relief, nothing worked. As May and
June came around we sat trapped inside. Then in July we met a woman who
suggested Aloe Vera. I was skeptical in the extreme. If it really did work
the doctor would have recommended it. Desperate from sleep deprivation
however, we decided to give it a try!
Within 10 days the Hayfever had vanished!!!
We immediately started reading all we could about the subject. It turned out
we were very lucky to have met someone who sold the very highest quality
Aloe on the market without which we may never have found this 'cure'.
Moreover there were thousands of documented cases where Aloe had helped in
the treatment of other Ailments. Our doctor, it turned out, knew nothing
about Aloe and treated it with even more skepticism looking for other
reasons why the Hayfever had vanished. We continued to take the Aloe and in
time both our digestion systems improved and the number of small illnesses
such as colds and flu decreased.
We now use all the products we supply - shampoo, toothgel, vitamins, lip
balm - and all with amazing results.
Our only advice to anyone now is 'Try it, you have nothing to loose and a
great deal to gain!'
Hemorrhoids
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.

Hair Care
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.

Hair Care
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.

Headache
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.

Headache
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 realized 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.

Headache
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.

Improved Health
FLP’s eating program and the 100% concentrated aloe vera juice have allowed
me to lose the unhealthy pounds that were beginning to ruin my health. At my
last doctor visit, I was told that my weight had caused me to develop an
enlarged heart, a heart murmur and breathing problems. I had originally gone
to the doctor to get my weight under control and this was more than I was
expecting to hear. I know that I was overweight, but I did not realize how
serious it was. My mother passed away at the tender age of 48 at the hands
of the same disease I was developing. I had the rest of my life to enjoy, so
I decided to take control of my life. Every day I thank God for FLP and my
nutritionist—two lifesavers at a crucial point in my life. FLP has given me
the energy I need to exercise. A couple of months ago, I could not have
climbed a flight of stairs without breathing uneasily. Now, I can climb 15
flights of stairs with no problems! I have lost a total of 32 pounds and I
feel like a million bucks! Thanks to your program, I can continue feeling
this way for the rest of my life.

Infection
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!

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
"Hi, I know a lot of people suffer from IBS these days due to stress and I
have been a sufferer for 6 years, caused by a combination of stress and
chronic constipation. Since discovering the properties of Aloe Vera (about 2
years ago) I now very rarely have an attack.
I initially started taking it in juice form which I know is the best but not
very convenient. I then tried various tablet forms and found them excellent.
A new Aloe Vera colon cleanse product came onto the market and I decided to
give it a try about six months ago. Immediately I noticed the results and
have had perhaps 2 attacks during this 6 month period. (I had suffered from
attacks lasting for up to 4 weeks at a time).
I have generally felt healthier since I started taking Aloe Vera, very
rarely get colds (certainly never flu over this 2 year period), my skin,
hair and nail condition has improved and I can only put this down to using
the tablets!
I think doctors should be made aware of the benefits of Aloe Vera for IBS
sufferers as when my IBS was diagnosed, they didn't have any good ideas on
how I could control it!!
Well done on your site - keep on spreading the word!!
Best Regards

Insipidus
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.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Michelle Crown. 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 and more
relaxed.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
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 diarrhea, pain, etc. As my mother had a malignant bowel
tumor, 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.
C.M., 18/3/1996.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
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."
Daily Mail, 14/02/1995.
Lip care
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.
Pauline Carlisle, Templepatrick, 20/11/96.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
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.
P. McAuley, Co. Antrim.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
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.

Migraine
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.
Multiple Sclerosis
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.

Osteoarthritis
I have been taking Aloe Vera Gel for 5 months. I feel it has given me a real
energy boost thus helping me to lose weight. I also have osteoarthritis in
one of my toes as a result of osteomyelitis. Aloe Vera Gel and Bee Propolis
Cream have helped to significantly ease the pain in the joint.

Painful Joints
sore knee. My leg had been very sore and was getting worse. Eventually it
got so painful I “During September I purchased a heat lotion from Forever
Living Products to try to help my 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.”
Elizabeth Carlisle.
Painful Neck
I have been a car mechanic all my life. In recent years due to a stiff sore
neck, my work has been made very difficult. A customer noticing my problem
recommended I try Forever Living Aloe Vera Heat Lotion as it had helped a
friend of hers with the same complaint. I was at the stage when 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.

Pneumonia
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.

Post-Operation Health
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 anesthetic 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 anesthetic. I am going to take Aloe Vera Gel through the winter to
keep me in good shape.
Mary Matthews, Portstewart.
Post-Viral Fatigue
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%.
Karen Cromie, Portstewart.
Pregnancy
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.
David de Gernier.
Psoriasis
"I suffered from psoriasis all over my body and head for 4 years. I have
spent a great deal on prescribed drugs and herbal remedies before trying
Forever Living Products.
I started drinking the Aloe Gel and rubbing Aloe Propolis Creme into the
affected areas two or three times a day. After 2 weeks my condition was much
relieved and steady progress continues. I am looking forward to wearing
shorts and T-shirts this summer." Sarah L
Psoriasis
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 ?0. 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 ?5 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 fianc?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.

Psoriasis
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.
Mable Evert.
Psoriasis
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 FLP meeting and heard about the success of Aloe
Gelly for skin conditions. She gave me 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.
Joe McWilliams.
Rash
As a keen water sports enthusiast I would wear a wetsuit regularly. Often
when I have had it on for a long time I get a bad rash on my upper arm.
Since using Aloe Vera Gelly on the rash I was amazed at how quickly it
healed and would recommend the Gelly to anyone with cuts, stings, etc.
Nigel Carlisle, Templepatrick.
Rough Skin
Since being introduced to Aloe Propolis Cr鋗e
and Aloe Lips I have found both to be excellent products. I have no more
rough skin or hacks on my hands, and I do not complain of chapped lips any
more. I will continue to use both products.

Scleroderma
USA March 1998
Last year I was diagnosed with scleroderma. This disease is characterized by
hardening of the skin of the hands, face and arms.
Sometimes internal organs (lungs, digestive system) are affected similarly.
I have the worst form of the disease - diffused scleroderma. Which means
organs and skin are subject to gross and irreversible disfigurement. The
movie in 1996 - "for hope" was the subject of this disease. I was taking
medication - propulsid. I now take only aloe vera and I pray for CONTINUED
healing.
It's hard to explain it but I have been taking aloe vera orally twice daily
and applying it once a day to my face. The results have been remarkable. The
skin discolorations have virtually disappeared and the tightness has
decreased substantially. I am convinced that aloe and prayer have delivered
me. Changes were apparent after 4 months. I continue religiously. It's been
about 1 year since I started the aloe.
Sensitive Skin
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 moisturisze.
I would recommend the Activator for all skin types and skin problems. It worked for me!
Julia O'B., Larne.
Sinus Infections
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.
Sharon Scott, Ballybogey.
Skin Care
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.
Anon.
Skin Care
I have been introduced to some of the Forever Living Product range by
Belinda Anderson, a neighbour. I purchased Forever Scrub and found this to
be excellent. Needless to say I have tried other makes of this item, but
they would not compare. I certainly would purchase more of the product.
Pauline Hutchinson, Coleraine.
Skin Care
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.
Julia O'B., Larne.
Spots
After having a shave I used to get lots of spots until I started using
Gentleman's Pride and it has cured my spots.
I would recommend this to anyone as an excellent skin conditioner.

Sports
The purpose of this review was to examine past research into the use of Aloe
Vera and to discover any benefits it may have for the athlete.
Due to the vigours of training and competition, athletes may turn to
substances that aid performance. Much of the substance use has not been
supported by research and many agents have harmful effects. Therefore, safe
substances with evidence supporting their use are sought after.
Aloe Vera has been claimed to increase energy and to improve performance
without side effects, but has no, or little supporting evidence for these
ergogenic claims.
However, research into the health and medical benefits of the plant, has
shown some general trends in areas that could be beneficial to the athlete.
It has been described as an immune modulator and can be effective in
treating auto-immune disorders, while also being beneficial to the digestive
system and in the treatment of acute and chronic sports injuries.
The significance of the findings are wide ranging and have strong
implications for future sports science research. Aloe Vera could be used to
prevent and treat chronic conditions such as chronic fatigue and auto-immune
disorders that hinder performance.
Also, certain effects on the digestive system enable improved digestion and
absorption of protein, of great importance for growth and repair of muscle
tissue.
Repair of muscle and skin tissue is also accelerated, decreasing the time
between injury and full fitness and the need for drugs such as
corticosteroids.
It is essential that further research be carried out to discover the
benefits of Aloe Vera to the athlete.
Sports Injuries
In my experience as a Sports Injury Therapist working with Shamrock Rovers
FC and Home Farm Everton over a three-year period, I found the
Aloe First Aid Spray
excellent for any injury.
Players like to have something sprayed on them, cold sprays are not
great-they cool down a warm muscle leaving the player open to further injury
and can damage the skin.
Aloe Vera First Spray keeps the players happy and more importantly, allowed
me to more efficiently treat the injury. I use the spray on the field and in
my clinic to relieve pain and help the healing process.
Tomas Ronan, Active Balance Clinic.
Stress
I have suffered from stress and PMT for many years. I had noticed a girl who
works shifts with me had greatly changed over the previous weeks. She had
been suffering from stress and
fatigue, and suddenly she was bubbly and full of life. When I asked her her
secret, she replied "Forever Living Aloe Vera Gel every day". Seeing is
believing and I just had to try it for myself. She contacted her distributor
and I too started taking the Gel every day to get the sparkle back in my
life. It is no problem now to face the day, to get up and go to work and not
feel washed out when I get home. My life has greatly changed for the better
and I am a much nicer person to know!!
Anne, Ballymoney.
Sunburn
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.

Super Glue in Eye
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.
Thanks to Forever Living Products.

Tooth Extractions
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.
Dorothy Gamble, Coleraine.
Tooth Extractions
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.

Trapped Nerve
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.
Julia O'B., Larne.
Ulcers
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.

Ulcers
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.

Ulcers
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 Gel
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.

Weight Loss
On February 7th 1997,weighing 14 and a half stone, I started the Forever
Living Diet programe. I began with the Gel, Bee Pollen, Forever Lite shakes
and the Garcinia tablets. After one week I had lost all the excess fluid I
had been carrying.
Over the next few weeks, by following the programe and walking for 30
minutes 3 times a week, the weight just fell off. I now feel great and
having gone from a size 22 to a size 14/16, I can now fit into some lovely
clothes which up to this stayed in my wardrobe. I am very pleased with the
Forever Living Products Weight Loss Programe and can recommend it to anyone.
