Cascara is also a pergative and can cause very bad intestinal writhing and pain if overused. i use a tiny bit of both in the cleansing tonic given to me, which is almost identical to Doc's intestinal clean #1, but only about 2/12 for it and 2/12 for the aloe. I think Doc's is about 1/8 each, which is about right in my mind. i think this is the way it is figured.. if one has 8 items and each item is one part then would that be 1/8 th?? this probably sounds dumb but i am still trying to learn and i have a lot of trouble with measurements i had to pour 4 quarts into a jug that said it contained 8 lb 10 oz 0r 3.91 kg to see how much it would hold as i just never have learned those expressions. love...granny lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Yes, the latex in the aloe leaf can cause purgative action. Only use 100% aloe vera no additives. I used a tablespoon in an 8 oz glass of juice with Benjamin 2X per day. He had screaming abdomenal pain and the aloe is what finally healed his gut up and started things moving and working again. I sure love talking to you and reading your posts grandma :-) Janet - tvksi herbal remedies Thursday, August 07, 2003 4:41 PM [herbal remedies] Re: aloe vera juice was Dry eyes, herbal remedies , "Dragonhealer" <dragonhealing@c...> wrote:> snip..Aloe vera juice would be a good added supplement to your diet as well.> > Janeti love aloe, but as you probably know, it at one time was used as a pergative, but it can be pretty strong and cause the 'gripes' so it fell out to milder herbs. <SNIP> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
