Aloe and HIV / AIDS

There is a very disturbing and irresponsible tape and literature being circulated in some circles claiming Aloe will cure HIV / AIDS.This is patently false. There is, to-date, no known cure for HIV nor AIDS.

It is true that Aloe helps to boost the Immune System by giving it the nutrients it needs. While Aloe Vera may significantly help, there is no scientific evidence that it can or will rid the body of the virus (HIV) that causes AIDS.

It is especially beneficial to keep the body more clear of the toxins that may build up in the system from the pharmacy "cocktails" (these drug cocktails are a scientific miracle - don't ignore modern science in its efforts to combat HIV / AIDS), and help keep PLWA from dehydration and malnutrition.

While it would be beneficial for PLWA to consider drinking Aloe Vera as a part of their daily diet, no intelligent person would endorse those 'quacks' who claim it to be a guaranteed cure. (They are putting profits before people.)

People / companies which claim Aloe cures HIV / AIDS are either misinformed or, far worse, preying on the fears of PLWA for their own personal gain. Such behavior is deplorable.

Until verifiable scientific proof comes out otherwise, the stand on this website will be that Aloe may be valuable - but the drug cocktails now available are CRITICAL and more important than Aloe or any other natural approach.

(Many PLWA cannot handle the cocktails due to the toxicity that the drugs cause to the system. As well as its legion of nutritional benefits, Aloe may help remove the toxins more quickly and effectively.)

Indeed, any "cure" comes from the Immune System having the nutrients it needs to mount a strong defense, and offense. Aloe provides such nutrients in abundance, but modern drugs MUST be included. If you can only afford one or the other, get to your medical professional for the drugs.

There is compelling evidence, however, that Aloe may combine with the these drug "cocktails" in the fight against AIDS and AIDS-related illnesses.

Nobody on medication should stop taking it to switch to natural methods instead. The current "cocktails" are critical to the treatment of this virus. These cocktails may extend, and possibly save your life. Don't be foolish by thinking aloe can do it all - it can't.

Always discuss any changes in your diet and / or exercise program with your medical professional.Due to the importance of this issue we will continue to post as much information as possible.
