Drink aloe?

So someone told me tonight that her dad has colon disease and was told about 10 years ago to drink aloe. He started drinking aloe and six months later a colonoscopy revealed a totally healthy colon. He has been in remission since. He said he gets the large containers of it at Wal-Mart and drinks a glass every morning followed by a glass of water. He said it really has no taste, it's just a matter of getting past the fact that it's aloe. Anyone else heard of this? I'm willing to give it a try and post my experience.

I tried it back not too long after I was diagnosed, about '93-'94. I had heard pretty much the same thing about aloe, but it didn't work for me. You never know - it might work for you.

Aloe is great!  I drink it all the time!  It helps to soothe and rebuild tissue within the lining of your intestines.  Actually, it's good for all your tissue in general....ie. skin etc.  There are so many different kinds.  The purest ones tend to be a bit pungent (Lily of the Desert - aloe vera juice or gel) but you can mix them with juice or ginger ale.  They are starting to make others that are mixed with fruit so it just tastes like a fruit juice.  As well, recently I found one that looks and tastes just like water (George's Aloe Vera).  So there are so many varieties.  Usually, you want to make sure that buy one that comes from 'whole leaf' as it is the most nutritional portion of the plant from what I understand.  Well good luck!
