GANDHI AND ALOE VERA

If you've seen the title of this post and are wondering what possible connection there can be between Gandhi and Aloe Vera, here's an extract from a letter he wrote to his biographer Romain Rolland:

'You ask me what were the secret forces that sustained me during my long fasts.  Well, it was my unshakable faith in God, my simple and frugal life style, and the Aloe whose benefits I discovered upon my arrival in South Africa at the end of the 19th century.'

Gandhi didn't have the benefits of this specific drink, but plenty of people (and animals) have benefited from it since his discovery of Aloe!

SEE WITH VISION

I had an eye-test a few days ago and my optician eulogized, as she always does, over my eyesight and the fact that after more than 20 years there are still no changes needed to my lenses.

So I told her about Forever Vision - which I take daily and which contains bilberry, lutein and zeaxanthin and which can improve the circulation to the eyes to support normal healthy eyesight.  It also helps protect the eyes from degeneration, particularly in the macula area of the retina.  (Code 235 in my online Aloe Store)

ALOE WEIGHT LOSS

Want to lose weight ... ?

Then take a look at the Forever Nutri-Lean interactive Programme!  This is a two-step process, combining a 9-day nutritional cleansing plan (Clean 9), followed by a long-term weight loss plan (Nutri-Lean).

A great way to take the guesswork out of a life-time of healthy eating and diet control!

ALOE MSM GEL

(118 ml)

Aloe MSM Gel soothes joints and muscles and has a non-staining formula.  It also has a pleasant smell.  In case you're wondering ... MSM stands for Methyl Sulfonyl Methane and in this product it is combined with pure, stabilized Aloe Vera. A little known additional attribute is that it can help skin conditions such as acne, thanks to its sulphur content.  (Code 205 in my online Aloe Store).

ALOE FOR CATS

Aloe for cats? Yes, this Aloe Vera Gel is great for cats and all animals. My Bearded Collie thrived on it all his life and latterly it was very beneficial for his arthritis.  As you can see, this cat looks happy beside a tub of her daily tonic!  Just click the picture if you'd like an Aloe drink like this one for your pet (or for you, as these drinks are equally beneficial for animals and humans).

ALOE VERA DETERGENT

 A friend who competes in dressage has to wear expensive white breeches. She eulogizes over the efficiency of diluted MPD's stain removal powers - saying it even removes stains from the seams where they've rubbed against the saddle whilst riding. 


I use MPD all around the house - and for washing the car, as well as in the windscreen wash.  Use it for laundry,washing the dishes and keeping surfaces squeaky clean.  It can take the place of all the cleaning products under your sink!

BEE POLLEN - THE BEE'S KNEES!

Did you know that Bee Pollen is behind the saying "the bee's knees", which of course means 'the very best'?  It's an apt description, I think, for this perfect food substance - once known as Ambrosia, the food of the gods!

Forever Bee Pollen boosts energy and stamina and assists in maintaining a healthy circulatory, digestive, immune and nervous system.  A great multi-vitamin and multi-mineral supplement that's easily absorbed.  Ideal to take during the summer months when the pollen count is high.

ALOE PROPOLIS CREME

I'm always recommending Forever's Aloe Propolis Creme for psoriasis.  Well, here's a hot tip from a customer with this condition who has found that if she applies Alpha-E Factor to her skin before using Bee Propolis the results are even better!

 Personally, I adore Alpha-E - using it on my face morning and night to keep my skin soft and silky.  So, with or without psoriasis, it's a great addition to your beauty routine!  (And no home should be without Aloe Propolis Creme either!)

I look forward so much to keeping in touch with you!

SPECIAL ALOE OFFERS FOR CHRISTMAS

   Among my special aloe offers for Christmas comes this really great FAB Pack in its FAB cool bag.  Not only that, but it comes with FREE carriage plus a FREE gift!  FAB stands for Forever Active Boost and it's a quick, refreshing way to stay energized and alert all day.

   It even looks as if dressed for Christmas, doesn't it, in its gleaming red and silver tin?  I'll bet that, like me, you can think of plenty of people who'd be glad of 6 cans of FAB to give them extra stamina for the festivities!  I know of no better energy drink - and what's more, that famous wake-boarding duo the Valdez Brothers (and many others) agree with me!

ALOE SKINCARE COLLECTION

I told you the other day about feeling as if all my birthdays had come at once when I discovered Aloe Nourishing Serum. Well, where do I begin to tell you about the whole Aloe skincare collection?

It includes the Nourishing Serum and consists of five incredible products designed to work together synergistically to achieve beautiful, radiant, healthy and soft skin.

Wow, how I could eulogize about the Aloe Purifying Cleanser that gently removes make-up and debris without drying the skin ... and about the Aloe Deep-Cleansing Exfoliator that leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth ... and about the Aloe Refreshing Toner!

These three precede your use of the Aloe Nourishing Serum that I've mentioned in glowing terms already ... and finally we come to Aloe Balancing Cream, containing Aloe, HA, vitamin E, revitalizing extracts and advanced moisturizers to hydrate, moisturize and protect your skin.

If you want to give your skin (or someone else's) true love, I can't recommend this Aloe skincare enough!

ALOE BLOSSOM HERBAL TEA

Maybe I shouldn't mention that I don't actually like Aloe Blossom Herbal Tea. (I'm just going to whisper this, but I prefer coffee.) However, my daughter thinks it's by far the best thing since sliced bread. And fortunately, almost everyone agrees with her rather than me!
One customer bought no less than eight boxes of it from me recently (and it isn't exactly cheap) - wanting two for herself and one each for six of her friends. Why? Because, she said, it soothes and refreshes her as well as giving her a sense of well-being. So she wanted her friends to benefit similarly.
Oh, and it's low in calories as well as caffeine-free!

ALOE LIQUID SOAP

To my mind, the beauty of this Aloe Liquid Soap is that it's mild enough for washing babies and yet so effective that engineers, gardeners and others with ingrained stains can benefit! It's actually more a luxurious natural moisturizing cleanser than just a soap.
Perfect for shaving, it's also kind to sensitive skin and I love its gentleness on my face! Let me know how you feel about it, once you've experienced how gentle it is.
By the way, a little goes a very long way ...

ALOE NOURISHING SERUM

When I found Aloe Nourishing Serum I seriously thought all my birthdays had come at once! It feels so wonderful on my skin - and no wonder, given its contents: Aloe, white tea extracts, mimosa bark extracts, plus antioxidants to provide protection from free radical damage.
It combats signs of aging by preserving and replenishing the skin's moisture. I use it morning and night, both on my face and neck, and my skin seems to purr with pure pleasure! Am I exaggerating? I don't think so, but who knows? Your experience of it may possibly be different, although I'll be mighty surprised if it is!

ALOE CHRISTMAS

How about an Aloe Christmas this year? In PLANET ALOE there are all kinds of Christmas gift ideas based on Aloe Vera. That would make for original giving, don't you think?
Whether you're looking for a Sports Gift, Ski Gift, Shower Gift, or something else really special for a loved one, you could truly surprise him or her with your originality!
I know Christmas still seems a long way off, but it never hurts to be well prepared. That's my thinking, anyway, and I was thrilled to find the Mature Gift Set - with its Aloe MSM Gel, Arctic-Sea and Freedom2Go - for an elderly friend who's been complaining lately about her aches and pains.
Not that we need to be old to benefit from a Gel that never fails to ease my backache, or from fish oils, or an Aloe Vera drink with added glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM plus pomegranates, mangosteens, pear, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry and grapeseed extract. Why, to my mind, that's better than Champagne - though not everybody will agree with me!

BLACKBERRIES AND MANGANESE

Where's the sense in a title like Blackberries And Manganese above a picture of Aloe Vera Gel?

Well, I was reading about bone-building in a national newspaper the other day and saw that just a handful of blackberries will give you almost half of your recommended daily intake of manganese.

Which of course makes them an excellent source of the mineral. 'Manganese helps the body form connective tissue, vital for building strong bone structure', said the author.

So I just thought I'd mention that when blackberries are out of season Aloe Vera Gel is also a great source of this (and other) minerals and vitamins! In fact, it's perennially a very convenient source ...

BEST BOTTLED WATER?

Is Forever's Cheddar Natural Spring Water the best bottled water in the marketplace today? One thing I can tell you is that, despite originating in Cheddar, Somerset, it doesn't taste of the cheese long associated with that place!
I can also say that it's extracted at source from the spring within the intricate cave network of the Mendip Hills - and it's crystal clear, with a neutral pH and a refreshing natural taste.
2 litres of Forever's Water can provide 33% of your daily requirement of calcium as well as many other essential minerals needed within our daily allowance.
All this, plus plenty more - including courier delivery right to your door!

BRUSHING YOUR TEETH!

I was astonished to read in Tuesday's DAILY MAIL that not brushing your teeth can give you heart disease and arthritis. But those apparently can be two consequences of gum disease.
And there are more - including miscarriage, erectile dysfunction and difficulty in conceiving! The feature went on to say that the elderly, smokers, diabetics and pregnant women are at higher risk, and that genetics can also play a part.
It added: 'Once gum disease has set in, bacteria are able to enter the blood stream via blood vessels around the teeth and then travel around the body. This sets off a cascade of reactions, leading to inflammation and damage.'
But the condition can thankfully be prevented by cleaning teeth twice a day for two minutes each time. Here's how I clean mine, keeping my teeth (and gums) healthy:
