Hi

Just wondering if anyone drinks Aloe Vera juice?

Holland & Barrett were selling theirs in their penny sale so I got some and going to start today.

But I was just wondering people's opinions?

I'm not drinking it instead like FL! I'm going to be taking it 3 times a day with food.

    I started with aloe vera juice after I read a thread on here last October. I take a tablespoon first thing in the morning and another late evening. After about a month I was talking to my husband and I told him that I think my skin looked alot better. He said "Is that what it is? You had some wrinkles starting and I noticed that they're gone". Now, I'm 60, so any help in that area is welcome. It also regulates going to the bathroom. Those are the 2 big things I've noticed. I plan to keep taking it. Let me know how it works for you. Best.

    My boyfriend drinks George's aloe vera, be careful with some of them they can cause intestinal discomfort and some have a very bitter aftertaste. He takes it for help with his Crohn's was recommended by his doctor.

    When I started I decided to buy one bottle--lasted about a month--and see how it went. My gynecologist is very big on aloe vera as an anti-cancer. It would be a nice plus, but it does have a positive effect on my skin. As for the taste, mine is very sour, but I only take a tablespoon morning and evening. My husband started too, after he saw my results. Do a search on the aloe vera thread September or October 2014. There were lots of replies. Best. B)

    Ha, I actually have an at home ultrasonic facial machine & I have been using pure aloe with it. My skin is awesome. I am going to have to look into drinking the juice too.

    My sister started drinking it and lost 3 lbs in like 4 days. She was already on a diet so this wasn't just water weight.
    Two long whole pieces of aloe ( just remove the thorny sides)
    12 oz of pure honey
    3 tablespoons of whiskey

    She drinks 1 tbsp before breakfast, 1 tbsp before lunch and 1 before dinner

    Can someone please post the link to the thread talking about this? I really don't want to start a thread to ask because when I posted a question I got bashed and made fun of.
