I have aloe growing in my yard and every day I cut a leaf and take out the gell and put it into my vitamix. I do this in the evening instead of eating mashed potatoes gravy, meat loaf and a mushy boiled vegetable with bread like so many do. I also include blue berries,strawberries,hemp hearts,raw spinach leaves,cilantro, whole raw garlic,ginger, and sometime flax seeds. I mix that up with coconut water and drink it down and boy does it clean me out and make me feel great. At first it was a little rough with the cramping until my body moved all the bad things out my colon. Sometimes in the morning I would wake up feeling terrible until I had one of my massive bowel movements clearing all the debris from my colon. Aloe vera is a wonder plant and should be consumed by all. The American colons are a mess and responsible for diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease as well as cancer. Clean healthy colons mean clean healthy bodies and aloe vera does it best.
