I feel great from my daily aloevera intake!

Is aloevera worthy of attention? You bet! I said yesterday that I'd be back soon - and wow, here I am, back! That's because I love my subject and would like the whole world to love it too. You see, aloe is special. How special?

Well, it can help our health. Isn't that plenty in itself? I had my first inkling of its powers over a decade ago when my dog's limbs stiffened up with arthritis. I was given a tub of aloevera gel and told to pour 60 mls daily on to his dinners. Can you imagine my astonishment (as I was a skeptic, back then!) when, within two weeks, Sam was frolicking like a spring lamb?

Yes, I was astonished - and at first put his new lease of life down to coincidence. Obviously an aloe drink couldn't work miracles ... could it? After all, aloe was 'just' a plant and none of the stuff his vet had given him had helped my Beardie. Vets surely knew better than anyone else about how to help pets.

Time went by and Sam's limbs continued to be rubbery instead of stiff. He was more like a puppy than an 'old man' of eight. And people noticed. They began asking questions, the chief one being "What's Sam on? He's like a different dog." This was soon followed with: "Can I have some? Would it help my Rottweiler's stiffness?"

Well, it did - and in the end even Sam's vet remarked on the change in him and wanted the aloevera for his other patients. Not long afterwards I was asked to write a feature for a national dog magazine. You can read it, if you wish, via this link.

Finally I decided to share Sam's daily aloe habit. No, my limbs weren't stiff like his had been - but I could do with a frolic! Would the aloe drink put a spring in my step as it had in Sam's? More on that in my next post ...

MY ALOE VERA

Hello - and a big welcome to my blog! Let's, together, explore some of the wonders of aloe vera. I expect you've heard of it. Most people have these days, haven't they? It has suddenly become a bit of a buzzword. There's a good reason for that, though. Actually, that's an understatement! There are plenty of reasons! We'll be going into some of those in my next posts. For today I simply wanted to say how glad I am to have your company ... and how much I'm looking forward to meeting up again very soon. Watch this space!
