Does aloa vera juice help with arthritus??
Question: also can you take it if your diabetic? thanksxx
Answers: HI there I suffer from very servere rheumatoid arthritis and never hear of aloa vera helping it .I use glucosamine and can tell you it does help speeking from experience.Wishing you every luck with this you have my deepest sympathy it is a horrible disease and hurts like hell.Happy health Barbara
I have never heard of aloe helping arthritis, I don't think it would affect diabetis one way of another
It shouldn't hurt you. No genuine studies have shown it to help. If you are trying it then check you bs and keep an eye on it.
No, from watching my mother try this and everything imaginable it does not help with r.a.
I have seen Aloe Vera help with a number of inflamitory problems, most often rashes and sunburns. It's a very powerful, natural antiinflamitory cure. I have seen many people take it internally for a variety of issues. It wouldn't hurt you to take if you are diabetic. It might not cure the cause of the arthritis, but at least I beleive it would reduce the swelling in the joints, easing the pain. Also, I would reccomend doing some research in alternative medicine to determine what would help you best.
I say try it. Best of luck!
I should not think it would have an effect on diabetes, but you should consult your doctor to be on the safe side.
I have taken Aloa Vera Juice and Gel for many years. It is a good anti-inflammatory... arthritis is an inflammatory condition, it also helps to lubricate joints by improving the
soft tissue and muscle. It is very healing to all organs internally and external skin...Most spas use it for anti-aging qualities. Take in small does at first till your system becomes accustom to it due to loose bowel movements.
try using mangosteen juice. It has been heavily researched before the U.S. even knew about it.
here is one of many articles i found on pubmed.com (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query... to be exact.

Inhibition of cyclooxygenase and prostaglandin E2 synthesis by gamma-mangostin, a xanthone derivative in mangosteen, in C6 rat glioma cells.Nakatani K, Nakahata N, Arakawa T, Yasuda H, Ohizumi Y.
Department of Pharmaceutical Molecular Biology, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tohoku University, Aoba, Aramaki, Aoba-ku, 980-8578, Sendai, Japan.
The fruit hull of mangosteen, Garcinia mangostana L., has been used for many years as a medicine for treatment of skin infection, wounds, and diarrhea in Southeast Asia. In the present study, we examined the effect of gamma-mangostin, a tetraoxygenated diprenylated xanthone contained in mangosteen, on arachidonic acid (AA) cascade in C6 rat glioma cells. gamma-Mangostin had a potent inhibitory activity of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release induced by A23187, a Ca2+ ionophore. The inhibition was concentration-dependent, with the IC50 value of about 5 microM. gamma-Mangostin had no inhibitory effect on A23187-induced phosphorylation of p42/p44 extracellular signal regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase or on the liberation of [14C]-AA from the cells labeled with [14C]-AA. However, gamma-mangostin concentration-dependently inhibited the conversion of AA to PGE2 in microsomal preparations, showing its possible inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX). In enzyme assay in vitro, gamma-mangostin inhibited the activities of both constitutive COX (COX-1) and inducible COX (COX-2) in a concentration-dependent manner, with the IC50 values of about 0.8 and 2 microM, respectively. Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis indicated that gamma-mangostin competitively inhibited the activities of both COX-1 and -2. This study is a first demonstration that gamma-mangostin, a xanthone derivative, directly inhibits COX activity.
This research deals with the mangosteen pericarp on inflammation properties (cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor, or COX 2 inhibitor is a characteristic of NSAIDS such as Bextra, Celebrex, and Vioxx, how ever vioxx has been pulled and the other two are under scrutiny. So why not try a researched alternative.
cant argue with science...
And to eliminate bias, if you look at the date of this study (jan 2002) this was done even before mangosteen was even discovered by the u.s. http://www.mymangosteen.com/video/joes_n...
yes, it is actually used to help people with diabetes (the xanthones in the pericarp of the juice have a characteristic property that aids in regulation of blood sugar.
never heard of aloe vera juice being used for that. I have tried acai berry, noni juice, xango, and monavie. Noni juice did help for a while, but i could still feel where it was where i had the pain, personally i liked xango best. It also helped me with my energy level, and helped lower my cholesterol because i couldn't take plavix or lipitor (allerg. reactions)
Hi, made into a beverage from Aloe Vera and taken internally, a help not only arthritis this plant a very good for are constipation, ulcers, diabetes, headaches, and coughs.
Taking aloe internally does have side effects, which can include pain, electrolyte imbalances, and diarrhea.
