Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hi Liz D. Thanks for responding. I meant to write that I am allergic to Collodial Silver. I have some here and was so excited about using it and ended up in the hospital for anaphlaxis. It is a great idea if my system would not reject it. Thanks again! Hi Cat: Ouch. That is exactly something I would do. I am glad that worked for you. I don't have a plant and can not get to my parent's to get one anytime soon. Where does one normally buy them? Thanks again! Hi Suresh: I am a complete beginniner to Chinese Herbs. Where would I find Arsenic Album? I am in a large metropolitan area, but unfamiliar with sources of alternative medicines and herbs. Thanks for the suggestion. Thanks to you all! mjd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also use aloe juice which can be found at a health food store. It's meant for drinking (for health reasons) But I've kept a small bottle around for years for burns and sunburns. Needs to be refrigerated after opening. sue Search - Find what you’re looking for faster http://search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi ~ You can call the green houses, Home Depot, Target, I have seen them at various times almost anywhere. I have seen a couple different " types " and I prefer the ones with the larger smooth leaves, however I am sure that they will work either way. I have used the drinking aloe for my stomach, but I must say that the aloe plant is very easy to raise and a must have for me. Not expensive plants either. Call around and since it is Spring in the Northern Hemisphere someone should be getting them in. Good luck. Mine has had most of its leaves stripped off it so I will be doing the same thing....looking for a new plant. Cat ^. .^ ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat ^. .^ ~ Hi Cat: Great ideas! I never really had this problem before because my parents keep aloe plants, so I never really looked for one in the open marketplace. I will keep one on hand from now on. Thanks again! mjd ------------------------ Sorry to hear that happened . . . that is a said state of medicine when you are injured by a doctor and have to go elsewhere for help :-( Cat, Actually, most of my injuries and mystery ailments come from direct association with doctors. I have been sicker in the past three years than I have ever been my entire life. I look forward to the day when I know how to care for myself without any of their " help. " Thanks so much, mjd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 If you have the space, after your original aloe grows, you can divide it and plant parts of it in other pots. After a while you have more aloe than you know what to do with. For those interested in growing more of their own herbs, aloe is an easy one to grow. Aloe grows outward in clumps. You'll see little stems of aloe growing up next to the established one. When they are big enough, take the entire plant out of the pot, and divide. Repot the original and the " babies " in new potting soil in different pots. After a while, the pots will fill with aloe. If you put your aloe outside in the summer, keep it out of direct sun when you first move it outside or the plant will turn yellow and look a little " mushy " . The plant will survive, but it doesn't look pretty for a while until it greens back up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
