TITLE: WHAT IS ALOE VERA, ALOERIDE AND CLIMATE CHANGE Among plants aloe vera may be an Ugly Betty but it has a 4,000+ year track recor d of being hugely valued for improving both health and beauty. Earliest recorded pharmaceutical use dates bac k to 2100 BC (Sumeria/Babylon), also hieroglyphic inscriptions of aloe dated to 4100 BC were found in the tomb o f an Egyptian Court physician. Queen Cleopatra and Queen Nefertiti, both renowned for their stunning beauty, us ed aloe vera to stay healthy and beautiful. Aloe vera today still is unfailingly popular for the same reasons it was valued for throughout the ages. Although aloe vera looks like a cactus, it actually is a succulent and a member of the Liliacae family (like the onion, garlic, asparagus, lily and the tulip). Unsurprisingly one of aloe vera s nick nam es is lily of the desert because that is where it grows naturally. To survive long periods of droughts these xeroids p lants have the ability to retain and preserve large quantities of water. Being able to survive such a harsh environment has interesting implications for you. When for instance an aloe leaf gets damaged it instantaneously repairs this damage thereby avoiding loss of wat er. Failure to quickly repair the injury site would result in evaporation of its precious reservoir and might jeop ardise the plant s health or survival. Such tissue repair and other powerful aloe vera properties are transferred to yo u when you ingest Aloeride. There are more than 350 varieties of aloe vera yet only 4 contain significant he aling properties, the most nutrient dense of these is aloe vera barbadensis miller, the plant used to make Aloeride. Aloe vera is a complex, interacting mixture of some 300 constituents including beta-linked polysaccharid es, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, lignins, saponins and anthraquinones. The challenge in processing aloe vera is how to extract all of these synergistic molecules without damaging them or without significantly altering their ratios to one another. Next you must delive r all these synergistic molecules in meaningful quantities for only then can the many properties attributed to aloe v era manifest themselves. We chose to grow the best and process in the cleverest possible way and as a result Aloeride emerges as the top flight aloe vera product in multiple, independent laboratory tests. With a nick name like lily of the desert you won t be surprised to learn that aloe v era cannot tolerate frost. Its water content freezes at 28 Fahrenheit (minus 2Celcius) causing the plant to die. Consequently most commercial growth of aloe vera happens south of the Equator. North of the Equator commercia l growth still is precarious, aloe growers in the dust bowl of southern Spain got clobbered when in February 2005 tem peratures fell to minus 10 in Madrid and minus 20 in Aragon. But also south of the Equator the climate is ch anging, until recently Australia was a large producer of aloe vera like it was of wheat, cotton lint, wine grapes

and rice. Their prolonged droughts caused a drop in wheat production by over 58% which made wheat prices surge to a 10-year high, these drought also affected Australia s aloe vera production where one company alone converted s ome 7,000 tonnes of aloe vera leaf into around three million liters of gel each year. An aloe vera plant needs 150mL water a month as otherwise it dies. Plants that d o survive the drought generate more aloin and emodin, resulting in their gel having an even more bitter taste a nd stronger odor than usual. It is what dehydrated aloe does for self-preservation because emodin and aloin have an ti-inflammatory, bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal and anti-cancer effect. These hydroxyanthraquinone compoun ds become life savers as the dehydrated plant fights cell disorganization and bacteria, viruses or fungi that prey on it. iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living

However, what is good for a distressed aloe vera plant isn t necessarily good for you. In the lower gastrointestinal tract barbaloin molecules are hydrolyzed to create aloe emodin which acts as a l axative by increasing water retention and mucus secretion in the large intestine. Aloe vera crop surviving d roughts may come with a sting in its tail that causes mayhem in sensitive digestive tracts. In order to achieve product consistency in a changing climate, we perform routin e laboratory tests on trial processed harvests and base our purchases on those outcomes. The effect of clima te change reaches aloe vera crops worldwide and to date Aloeride has needed to make two rejections because of our very exacting Quality Control. Climate change certainly makes optimal harvesting more challenging than it has been in the past decades but the customer feedback shows that keeping to our unique standards makes an ap preciable difference to customer s quality of life. An Ugly Betty aloe vera may be, but in Aloeride it wave s its magic wand supremely. More information about Aloe Vera, visit AloeRide iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living

TITLE: ALOERIDE, OR HOW TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN Aloe is known to be a miraculous plant with multiple healing virtues and its his tory goes back up to Cleopatra and her legendary beauty indeed tributary to this renowned lily of the desert . People that have underwent a treatment with Aloe or have put to test one or another of aloe s famous effects, h ave generally been convinced by the curing power of this plant. Though, like in any other case where the panacea is questioned, an issue occurs: is it good for children? Or, which is even more serious, is it safe for children to us e it? Unquestionably, Aloe Vera s prestige would be seriously affected if kids were not to be found among the recipients of its effects or if they were to be endangered by a misinformed or an accidenta l or casual use of the plant extract. But this is not the case. No one should worry about a possible harmful consequen ce or an unpleasant side effect if the doctor s or the dietician s prescription or recommendation is respected. Yet, Al oe Vera and Aloeride have to face the common opinion and the vague undocumented rumor that somehow the produc ts based on Aloe act as detrimental agents on the health and the organisms of children. Indeed, some doctors recommend parents to avoid nursing their kids with products based on Aloe extracts. What anyone should know is that their reference concerns only those products which ha ve a laxative effect, or that their statement is made on the misleading premise that all Aloe products are processed in a similar way, a way that disregards the specific vulnerabilities of people that age. The way Aloeride pro cesses Aloe drugs is a guarantee for a safe use. Due to the fact that in Aloeride pills no additives are inserted and because anthraquinones the main organic compound found in Aloe which causes diarrhea is carefully removed, Aloer ide products do not have unexpected side effects, aiming directly to the anticipated results. Also, as a result of Aloeride technology, children would not fuss about swallowi ng the tiny capsules. Usually, internal use of Aloe extracts entails drinking a certain amount of liquid, which can be sometimes uncomfortable because of the peculiar taste of the main active ingredients. Different other co mpanies that sell Aloe juices or gels try to disguise the natural bitter taste of Aloe mixing the Aloe extract with in gredients that create the impression of a fruity sweet flavor. First of all, this is an inappropriate technology, bec ause those additives generally diminish the effect Aloe is supposed to have on the organism. Second of all, liquid means adding, amongst other, water and various preservatives which, again, lessen the force with which Aloe naturally w orks on the body. The discreet pill Aloeride offers as an alternative to many other inefficient, t hough promising products will surely relieve your life as a parent. It is well known that something always happen to children. Scratches, constipation, sunburns, ailments and countless other disorders need to be constantly taken car

e of. An efficient and easy way to deal with them is to accept the offer Aloeride makes. Aloeride s logo is that Aloe works from the inside in order to look better on the outside, which means the organic quality of any process of im provement is properly appreciated. The encapsulated powder improves the immunity system, thus taking a n overall action on the organism. iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living

Because childhood is an age when the fundament, the basic structure of one s organ ism is settled, it is a proof of prudence to assure it. Receiving Aloeride s offer is a helpful method to increase child s chances to a better, healthier life, and also an occasion for any parent to ease their concerns. Ther efore, it s not just that children may take Aloe capsules because they are no harm, but any responsible parent must con stantly support their kids growth by this exceptional nutritional element provided by Aloeride.

TITLE: ALOERIDE, OR HOW TO REACH TO A HEALTHY AND BEAUTIFUL SMILE Aloe Vera is renowned for its potency to soothe all sorts of disorders. Its histor ic use links it to beauty care routine or to more slight sores, such as sunburns, scratches, or small injuries. It was not until lately that its more significant curing virtues have been discovered and proven. People suffering fro m serious diseases who have underwent a treatment with Aloe products showed that these products were satisfa ctory enough and surprisingly efficient. One of their many applications regards teeth care or general dentistr y. Contemporary society seems to stress teeth care as a crucial point of our life, both from a hygienic reason and an aesthetic one. Digestion begins in the mouth due to the chemical action of vario us substances located there and also because of the more mechanical function of teeth. Chewing should never be u nderstated. Moreover, the cultural significance of smile seems to amplify the urge to pay attention the qu ality and the state our teeth are in. Almost all toothpaste commercials underline the health aspect and the visual sid e of a vigorous dentition. So, if you want to ensure a reliable starting point for your digestion, or if you want to display or at least not to be embarrassed by your smile, you should pay a little attention to your dentist s sug gestions. How do Aloe products affect our teeth, and why should we choose them over the cl assical toothpastes? If we learned a little about the general properties of Aloe, we should already know th at it prevents infection caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi, it stimulates cell regeneration and has a general pu rifying action, not to mention its calming effect. Therefore, Aloe is an excellent solution to a range of mouth pro blems, like gingivitis, peridontitis, stomatitis, bad breath, reduces the possibility of plaque, not to mention the ca re it takes of the soft, fragile tissues in the mouth. Obviously, a great amount of benefits that usual products can only pretend to guarantee. Now, how does Aloeride deal with oral hygiene, considering all we have stated ab out the Aloe products in general? Most of the Aloe products designed for dentistry come in traditional shapes, tha t is, toothpaste, gel, sprays. On the other hand, the way Aloeride presents its products is not at all similar to those . The technology used by Aloeride to process Aloe Vera extract fits very well its goal, that is, to preserve the ac tive ingredients and to avoid tampering with them. This is why this company only produces tiny capsules contai ning a certain amount of Aloe powder. Can these capsules fit the specificity of teeth care? Aloeride s statement is that a genuine treatment should work from the inside to th e outside. What is visible to the eye is always grounded on an invisible process developed underneath the surface of what is observable. Aloeride s Aloe Vera products work on the immunity system, thus generating an overall prote ction for the entire organism,

teeth included. A strong reason for using these capsules is that, compared to co mmon other products, it avoids involving certain ingredients assumed to alter the quality of Aloe extract. Thou gh these elements Sorbitol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Carrageenan and so on do not harm the tooth in itself, th ey inhibit the effects Aloe is supposed to have. So, a toothpaste boasting with its Aloe ingredient is virtually an ordinary one, as the extract is in such a degree altered by the other parts of the paste that it remains inactive. iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living

Taking care of teeth is one of the many objectives Aloeride has. It is coherent with a more general goal, that is, to offer a feeling of general state of well-being. While or after using Aloe capsul es one should no longer need to care about mouth problems but it doesn t mean daily hygiene should be abandoned, on the contrary, it should be maintained and should be free to charmingly smile whenever the occasion occurs.

TITLE: ALOERIDE AND THE PILL OF HAPPINESS Happiness is one of those concepts people have always tried to precisely define and, in spite of their efforts and failure to reach an exact definition, everyone still has at least a vague idea a bout what happiness means to them. Unfathomable as it may seem, happiness, as a goal, is what determines people to act and it can be, at least from a certain perspective and within some limits, characterized as a state of physical comfort conjoint with a mental state of well-being. If body and spirit is what we all are, then body and spirit should be those things to which a definition of happiness must refer. Aloe Vera is an ideal source of nourishment for both body and mind. Apart from t he fact that a cure based on Aloe prevents anyone from a large range of ailments and disorders, it is also a remed y for many other diseases. There is virtually no part of the body left uncovered by the incredible variety of Aloe p roducts. From head to toes, from bowels to skin, every centimeter of the body is taken care of by the miraculous extract of Aloe. But can things be simpler and more efficient when it comes to all those needs we have and all those things able to satisfy them? Nothing would seem more natural than to use toothpaste when tooth care is in question, or creams and lotions when talking about face and skin in general, or laxatives when it co mes to constipation. This is the ordinary picture. What is truly exceptional and almost unbelievable is the hypot hesis of a single pill able to replace all those too many and too annoying products. The good part of this hypothesis i s that it no longer represents a theory, but is a fact. Aloeride has designed a wonderful pill that has a general action on the body. Wo rking on the immunity system, it protects us from many unexpected and unseen perils we expose ourselves in everyd ay life, and that we don t even think of. A mere cold, a stomachache, a surprising migraine are always considere d possibilities. They could happen to us, of course, but not today, nor in the near future. We are all right now an d we don t need any protection yet. It is obvious the contradiction hidden in this attitude. First we admit our lty and, on the other hand we decide to postpone the right thing to do. Those who have suffered a long time from rticular disease and have undergone a treatment with Aloeride products are much wiser than people who . They now know that to be happy is to recover a silky skin after the acne has ravaged their faces, or ove carelessly after curing a bothering repetitive stomachache, or speak face to face to other people without being rrassed or thinking of their bad breath. frai a pa didn t to m emba

A healthy body is a crucial premise for a better life. As for the mental state, it is to be mentioned that many psychological disorders are grounded in physiological conditions. The hidden che

mistry of our bodies results sometimes into chronic neurosis, depressions, general fatigue and so on. Instead of ingesting huge quantities of pills that only work on the symptoms, one should always rely on remedies that wo rk on the causes. Aloeride s Aloe Vera capsules will give unexpectedly satisfying results. iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living

So, if you are still skeptic about what happiness means and, moreover, you doubt that the Aloe Vera capsules work, the step to take is talking to people that are now grateful for having bee n given the chance to try Aloeride products and to listen to their testimonials. The word goes that you truly treas ure something only it is lost. You could just believe that saying and take all necessary cautions to protect your h ealth, mental and physical too, or you could just do it the hard way: don t believe it, be irresponsible, and after l osing your health and finally recover it, you will be happy.

TITLE: HOW DOES ALOE VERA WORK? The plant aloe vera contains a complex mixture of molecules. The Handbook of Phy tochemical Constituents of GRAS Herbs and Other Economic Plants by James A. Duke state that there are as mu ch as 300 different types of molecules in aloe vera. Hardly surprising then that it has multiple effects on m ultiple tissue types. Unfortunately this broad spectrum of activity also fuels academic scepticism because aloe vera d oes just too much to be true. To put that last criticism into perspective, even in Prescription Only Medicatio n (POM) there is not just one thing any drug does. This is why we have monthly editions of MIMS and BNP to show, nex t to the indications of POMs, their contraindications, warnings, other drug interactions and adverse effects. POMs are as targeted molecules as a pharmaceutical company can make them, yet they affect so much. Imagine a plant with 300 different types of molecules, of course it is going to act broad spectrum. Aloe vera has been used by millions of people worldwide throughout the ages. Emp irical evidence accumulated in accolades like miracle plant and burn plant but for academic validity such a sustain ed track record is said to be meaningless. But even in today s climate of evidence based medicine (EBM) much of day to day healthcare is characterized by non evidence based practice, variation in practice, inadequate outcome data, inequality of access to optimal treatment and ultimately a lack of evidence base. (Virus Research, Vo lume 89, Issue 2, November 2002, Pages 175-181). Entrenched skeptics should note that lack of evidence of efficac y should not be confused with evidence of lack of efficacy. The former says that there is insufficient evidenc e to pass judgment. The latter says it does not work. Of course good aloe vera works. Quite beside that there is safety and validation in the numbers (millions of people) and in the length of time aloe vera has been used (centuries), there is a lot of good quality research on aloe vera as well as scientific knowledge about what its different type of molecules do. This said, how well an aloe vera product works depends entirely on its quantity of working molecules, the quality of them and purity of product. On all counts Aloeride is an exemplary product that stands head and shoulders above its competitors. So how does it work? Aloeride is mostly taken by mouth but can also be applied to the skin. When taken by mouth, in the fluid environment of the stomach, the Aloeride capsules dissolve wi thin 1 or 2 minutes giving our powder plenty of time to mix with the ample water (your stomach s mixing waves occ ur every 15-25 seconds) with which you swallowed the capsules. So you have now rehydrated your aloe vera powd er. Only when you have lesions or inflammation in your mouth or esophagus is there a need for opening t he capsules and ingesting the powder with water. This is easy and it does not taste horrible.

With all 300 different types of molecules are out of the capsule, Aloeride goes t o work. Broadly speaking the action is threefold and interconnected: anti-inflammatory, immune-modulator and tissue healing with the target being mostly epithelium (tissue that separates tissue cells from air). Of course the first point of contact of these molecules is the alimentary canal, so it is hardly surprising that Aloeride s molec ules show their effect there first. Because Aloeride s molecules also are absorbed into your bloodstream, they also fin d their way to peripheral tissue. Thus Aloeride exerts effect way beyond the alimentary canal and causes po werful inside-out healing, the only route for safe wound healing and 24/7 skin care. Just how broad spectrum al oe vera works is underpinned by good research: cell growth, anti-inflammatory effect, anti-microbial effect, eff ect on burns, anti-diabetic effect, cardiovascular and lipid effect, anti-ageing effect and response to UV light, wo und healing, gastrointestinal effects and immune modulation. iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living

Broad spectrum action is the result of 300 types of molecules as well as domino effect. To explain the latter, an inflamed intestinal wall for example becomes permeable to macromolecules that ou ght to stay within your alimentary canal. Enterocytes (intestine s absorptive lining cells) normally deter mine what may enter the body -via transcellular crossing -and what stays inside the intestines. In leaky gut syndr ome gaps occur in between the enterocytes so indiscriminate, paracellular crossing now can happen. Macromolecules gate crashing into your body trigger immune reactions. Aloeride he lps close the gaps between enterocytes, thus indirectly changing immune response beyond its direct, researc hed effect on phagocytosis, lymphocytes and T-helper cells. Beyond that Aloeride also creates a more favorabl e milieu for good gut bacteria which in turn improves immunity. Three hundred different types of aloe vera molecules, working synergistically an d causing domino effects, will act broad spectrum and the magic of all this forms the basis for aloe vera s much dese rved accolades.

TITLE: WATER IN ALOE VERA All original aloe vera juice is 95% water and the magic of aloe vera does not li nger in the water, the magic of aloe vera is in that 5% of solids that is suspended in the water and is known as work ing ingredients. Our ability to capture that 5% and then deliver this, in its entirety to you, is what makes Alo eride stand head and shoulders above other aloe vera products. Aloeride deliberately delivers that 5% working ingredients in powder form because all aloe vera liquids suffer both bacterial degradation and oxidation. Aloe vera gel or aloe vera juice being more natural than powder is a load of nonsense. That 95% water is not a highly specific carrying agent like for ins tance you might ooh and aah, about binding Magnesium to Citrate, Sulphate or an amino acid. H2O is H2O and when, li ke the sensible person you are, you use filtered water, and then you rehydrate that 5% just fine. Aloe vera's magic simply is not in the water. What is in the water in aloe vera juice though are bacteria and they make aloe vera go off, which is why you must put all aloe vera juices in the fri dge to try and slow down the inevitable. Also with juices, every single time you open the container, you let new air in so the juice can oxidize a bit further. That means it loses its antioxidant potential, thus loses its battl e against free radicals. And that fancy phrase stabilized aloe vera juice is nothing more than the manufacturer adds antio xidants, not to help you, but to slowdown their juice going off. Capturing much more of that 5% and delivering the full spectrum of molecules is what really counts. Precisely that is what we do with Aloeride. In capsule form Aloeride also overcomes the awful tas te of aloe vera. Also by being in capsule form, Aloeride does not need to stay at home in the fridge so you can use it anytime anywhere. Also by making Aloeride into a powder, bacteria have nothing to swim in and by encapsulat ing it, there is no air to oxidize the powder and blister foiling puts a further halt to that. And to cap it all, we give you unprecedented discounts on an exemplary aloe vera product. Anybody paying s, s or $s for aloe vera juice or aloe vera gel (more often than not more expensive t han 1 pack of Aloeride which equates to slightly more than 1 liter) is paying for 95% water. So the chances a re, that you have been misinformed about the reality of aloe vera, which can amount to a missed opportunity for suc cess.

TITLE: MOUTH ULCERS, IBD AND ALOERIDE People suffering from Coeliac disease or IBD (Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn s Disea se) sometimes get extra-intestinal symptoms next to their digestive problem. One of such is small ulcers in the mou th. Recurrent Aphthous stomatitis (RAS) and recurrent intraoral herpes (RIH) are the two most commonly presenting oral lesions in dentistry recurrent. Recurrent Aphthous Ulcerations (RAU) is ano ther form of mouth ulcer but is considered an immunological deficiency. Why aphts appear in people with Inflamma tory Bowel Disease is unknown but often it coincides with flare-ups and usually the ulcer(s) heal(s) w ith remission of the IBD. Aloeride has proven exceptionally useful in the management of mouth ulcers, it si gnificantly speeds up healing time and helps with pain. How to use Aloeride is discussed further on, first howe ver a little more information to put mouth ulcers in context. Causes of mouth ulcers can be linked to microbial disease (like Herpes, chickenp ox, infectious mononucleosis), to gastrointestinal disease (Coeliac, Crohn s, Ulcerative Colitis), to skin disease ( like lichen planus, erythema multiforme), to blood disorders (like leukaemia, neutropenia), to rheumatoid dis eases (like systemic lupus erythematosus, Behet s disease, Reiter s syndrome) or to drugs (cytotoxic agents, Nic orandril, NSAIDs and oral nicotine replacement therapy). Reading this list you can understand why, if a mo uth ulcer persists for more than 3 weeks, a differential diagnosis should be made, possibly via biopsy or other inv estigations to exclude malignancy or serious conditions. When not caused by a specific condition, mouth ulcers can be related to food sen sitivities or nutritional deficiencies (Oral Surg, 1982, 54: 388-95; BMJ, 1975; 2: 490-3). In one study of 330 individuals with recurrent mouth ulcers, 14.2% proved to be deficient in Iron, Folic Acid and/or vitamin B1 2. The majority of whom achieved a complete remission when their deficiencies were eliminated by supplements. (J Oral Path, 1978; 7: 418-23). For patients who are deficient in Zinc, taking extra zinc supplements has proved eff ective (BMJ, 1975; 2: 490-3) and this is because Zinc is required for the development and activation of T-lymphoc ytes. For centuries, medicated zinc bandages have been found to have a soothing and beneficial effect on leg ulcers. It is well known that people with Coeliac disease, Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn s Disease suffer from a varying degree of impaired tolerance to foods and a reduced uptake of nutrients. Gluten and wheat sensitivity are on the top of that list. Finding well tolerated, highly absorbable wholefood supplement s whilst using Aloeride both as a buffer and to facilitate nutrient uptake will help to overcome such a deficiency .

Whilst ulcers are present you definitely shall want to change to Macrobiotic typ e of meals which are nutritious but bland, soft foods devoid of spices or salt thus not causing irritation. Medical treatment can include antiseptic chlorhexidine mouthwashes, hydrocortisone pellets, antibiotic pastes or topical corticosteroids. Increasingly people use topical Aloeride aloe vera to this list. iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living

A randomized controlled trial published in the British Journal of Dermatology co nfirmed empirical findings that aloe vera can help mouth ulcers associated with oral lichen planus (Volume 158, Number 3, March 2008, pp. 573577( 5). Out of 54 patients, half of whom received topically applied aloe vera and half o f whom received a placebo, 81% of patients treated with aloe vera had a good response after eight weeks of treatme nt, while only 4% of placebo patients had a similar response. Where improvement occurred, it was on a signifi cantly greater scale in those treated with aloe vera, a 50% symptom improvement was scored in 63% of the aloe vera patients but only in 7% of the placebo group. Burning pain completely disappeared in 33% of the aloe vera p atients, compared with only 4% of the placebo group. Dentist Dr. Timothy Moore wrote a paper about using aloe vera in over 6,000 of h is patients. He stated that both patients and doctors noted the healing capabilities of aloe vera to far exceed t heir expectations in pain control, oedema control and healing time reduction. Next to intraoral lesions he applies aloe vera to periodontal surgery sites, traumatized gum tissue, ulcerations as discussed here, chemical burns, ex traction sites (these sites respond more comfortably and dry sockets do not develop when aloe vera is applied) and a round dental implants to control inflammation from bacterial contamination. When you use Aloeride for mouth ulcers you should appreciate that contact time is of the essence. Open a capsule and empty its content onto a spoon, now put the powder in your mouth and add some water to it. Swill that mixture around your mouth for no less than 5 minutes. If say, you have a mo uth ulcer on the left cheek or gums then of course you lean your head slightly in that direction so the mixture of water and Aloeride powder is in contact with the lesion. After the 5 minutes you swallow the water with Aloer ide powder. You can repeat this procedure up to 4 times a day. Should a mouth ulcer persist for more than 3 week s then you are advised to see a physician. More information about Aloe Vera, visit AloeRide iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living

TITLE: SUNSHINE SENSIBLE AND ALOERIDE If you are fair skinned or like to lie in the sun, there is a high probability t hat you will have fallen victim to sunburn at some point during your life. However, just because it s a commonplace condition , it doesn t mean that it can t have serious side effects. WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF SUNBURN? The best known types of ultraviolet sunlight are UVA and UVB. Too much exposure to either of these rays will damage your skin. Not only will overexposure cause wrinkles and brown spots, pre maturely aging the skin, but it can also have far more serious consequences such as skin cancer. The effects of sunburn and sunstroke are unpleasant -as anyone who has experienc ed it will know. Short term exposure may result in painful burning and reddened and peeling skin. Sunstroke is more serious: it dehydrates the sufferer and can cause high temperatures, vomiting and headaches. But the most devastating side effect is undoubtedly skin cancer. It is estimated that 90% of non-melanoma skin cancers and 60% of melanoma skin cancers (the more serious form) are caused by o ver exposure to the sun. Worryingly, melanomas are not just caused by prolonged and consistent over expos ure: any episodes of sunburn, no matter how infrequent, also increase the risk due to the damage this does to your skin cells. HOW CAN I PREVENT SUNBURN? Whilst everyone should take precautions to protect themselves from exposure to t he sun, there are some groups of people who are more at risk than others: People with fair complexions and fair or red hair. People who work outdoors. Children: the amount of sun exposure is thought to be linked to the probability of developing skin cancer in adulthood. The good news is that sunburn and sunstroke is entirely preventable: you simply need to take sensible precautions and be aware of the damage that the sun can do to your body. In hot places or during a hot day, stay out of the sun between 11am and 3pm when it is at its fiercest. Cover up: wear a hat to protect your face and neck -the area s most commonly damag ed by the sun; and wear loose clothing. Be aware that wet clothing lets through more UV rays th an dry. Use a good sunscreen with a minimum of SPF (sun protection factor) 15. Apply bef

ore going into the sun and reapply frequently throughout the day. Ensure the lotion you choose bloc ks UVA and UVB rays and be aware that products have a limited shelf life. No sunscreen can comp letely protect you from the effects of UV rays. Keep babies and small children out of the sun completely if possible. iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living

Do not wash yourself with soap all the time. Soap removes the oil from the skin that is there to keep it supple and resilient. Ingest good quality omega 3 oils preferably together wi th broad spectrum (water and lipid soluble) antioxidants. Taking aloe vera capsules, such as Aloeride before and during a holiday much help s the skin to stand up to a sudden change in sunlight exposure; it can also help to rejuvenate the s kin following exposure. Is there reasonable proof that aloe vera can help over-exposure to sun burn beyond empirical evidence that since time immemorial people used aloe vera for this? Ot her than the extensive research on burns, there is good quality research on the anti-ageing e ffect and effect on UV light exposure by Danhof, McKeown, Strickland and Yagi. But be aware, not all al oe vera products will give you the necessary molecules that help your skin to stand up to UV light or not enough of them. WHAT IS THE HEALTH BENEFIT OF SUNLIGHT? Sunlight makes vitamin D which actually is a pre-hormone and its production requ ires a pre-cholesterol molecule to get UV-B from sunlight onto the skin. Then the liver converts it to calcidiol (storage form) which then is converted by everybody cell into calcitriol (a.k.a. activated vitamin D) Vitamin D is the most potent steroid in your entire body. Steroid hormones enable the manufacturing of proteins and enzymes b y your genetic material (genome). Yet after you've produced about 20,000 units, sunshine begins to destr oy vitamin D in the skin. In other words, the same sunlight that makes vitamin D in the first place begins to degra de it -a miracle of self control and safety. So the active form of vitamin D acts by enabling the genetic expression of proteins and enzymes crucial to health in hundreds of tissues throughout the body. One of the ways in which to increase vitamin D orally is via good, unpolluted fi sh oils but these are increasingly hard to find. To find out whether you are deficient, the best vitamin D test is 25(OH)D, also called 25hydroxyvitamin D and optimal levels are 45-50 ng/mL or 115-128 nmol/L (these values are higher than the 'normal' values). The amount of vitamin D produced from sunlight depends on exposure time , latitude and altitude of location, amount of skin surface exposed, skin pigmentation and season. UV-B als o stimulates the production of MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone), an important hormone in weight loss, energ y production, and in giving you that wonderful tanned appearance (α-MSH ). However, UV-B does not penet rate very deeply into your skin. The darker the pigmentation or more tanned your skin, the less UV-B penetr ates. Remember that glass allows only some 5% of UV-B to enter your home or your car, you must go outside to bene fit from sunlight. The take home message is that sunlight has an awful lot going for it providing you avoid sunburn.

According to Professor Michael Hollick, Professor of Medicine, Physiology and Bi ophysics at the Boston University Medical Centre it is now estimated that the 1,000 IU of vitamin D a day is neede d to satisfy the body's requirement and maintain circulating concentrations of calcidiol of at least 30ng/mL. Too mu ch vitamin D over a longer period of time can be toxic and cause calcification in the kidneys and heart. Fortunate ly the warning signs are easy to notice: anorexia, disorientation, dehydration, fatigue, weight loss, weakness an d vomiting. Dr. Esther John, an epidemiologist at the Northern California Cancer Center, recommends taking a dai ly 10 to 15 minute walk in the sunshine as it not only clears your head, relieves stress and increases circulat ion, but also could cut your risk of breast cancer by 50%. We all enjoy the sunny weather: it can lift our spirits and make us feel happier and healthier. If you are sensible in the sun and follow these simple precautions including using Aloeride to support y our skin from the inside, then there is no reason why you shouldn t enjoy its positive benefits without the negat ive side effects.

TITLE: OVERTRAINING, ALOERIDE AND PROBIOTICS Fortunately for most amateur athletes the problem of overtraining remains a theo retical issue. People training 4x a week or more may experience over-reaching or overtraining. And surprisingly enou gh, symptoms of overtraining can happen even to anoraks. This article describes useful aspects including the role of Aloeride and probiotics. Overtraining, also described as chronic fatigue, burnout and staleness has been defined as an imbalance between physical and/or psychological stress, training or competition and recovery. Earl y stages of overtraining result from too much throttle and no breaking and are called the orthosympathetic form whilst in more advanced stages, your orthosympathetic tone gets exhausted enabling its opposite number, the para sympathetic system to become dominant. The orthosympathetic overtrainee is in permanent and flight should be incidental challenges during which your adrenal glands pump pinephrine), noradrenalin (norepinephrine) and cortisol, whilst indirectly GH) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). These glands however are sprinter to cope with a marathon. fight or flight mode. Both fight

out hormones like adrenaline (e raising human growth hormone (H organs, they were not designed

The parasympathetic over trainee mimics some of Addison s disease symptoms hence i t is referred to as Addisonoid overtraining. The marathon of fight and flight has exhausted the adre nal sprinter glands and they now fail to regulate hormonal concentrations properly, this now is a serious problem . On routine blood work the over trainee is likely to show progressive anemia s with low hemoglobin and low haemato crit. Athletes primarily complain of underperformance of course, other common symptoms are progressively susceptibility to common infections and injury, persistent high levels of fatigu e, heavy muscles and depression. As said, an athletes' reaction to underperformance is often to increase training ra ther than to rest which exacerbates their recovery deficit (I am tired, but I feel better after exercise, so I exerc ise is the strategic equivalent of flogging a dead horse). Often symptoms are ignored until performance is chronically affec ted. Sleep disturbances like having difficulty in getting to sleep, waking up in the night and waking un-refreshed are experienced by some 90% of athletes suffering from overtraining. Other symptoms include loss of appetite, loss of weight, loss of competitive drive, increased emotional instability such as depre ssion, anxiety, irritability and mental exhaustion, poor attitude to training and musculoskeletal soreness. A simple DIY monitoring system is by checking the morning heart rate. Take your pulse immediately upon waking whilst still in bed. If your waking pulse any day is elevated by more than 8 bea

ts/minute above its average level for the preceding week you are falling into overtraining. Alternatively check your morning body weight; the weekly average weight should n ot vary by more than 2lbs. If it drops by more than 3lbs on any day from a previous stable body weight you are fa lling into overtraining. iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living

As far as laboratory tests go, a useful immunological marker for excessive exerc ise is salivary IgA whilst a useful stress marker is Cortisol/DHEA. The stress hormones Cortisol and DHEA are not re leased constantly throughout the day, but are secreted in a cycle called the circadian rhythm (highest values bei ng in the morning and the lowest at night). When the adrenal glands become exhausted (parasympathetic phase) Cortiso l and DHEA in the blood stream become imbalanced. Adrenal Stress Index uses four saliva samples to measu re the adrenal rhythm and gives you a DHEA to Cortisol correlation. Of course hypothalamic-pituitary impai rment of the corticotrophic axis causing adrenal insufficiency should be taken into account and specific testing of hypothalamus and pituitary gland may be considered. Three common pathways for overtraining are: intensity / load excess recovery deficit nutritional deficiency To remedy the first two you need to lower stress load and increase recovery time . In severe overtraining athletes should stop training entirely for 7-14 days, increase sleep to 9 hours of solid sleep a night and increase broad spectrum antioxidant intake to 200% of usual intake. To support the adrenal glands you can supplement with good quality organic gland ular extracts from government inspected, New Zealand or Australia free range animals that have not been fed ho rmones or antibiotics. Or you can use a complex homeopathic remedy like Glandula Suprarenalis Suis-Injeel (Forte). Appropriate supplementation with good quality DHEA should only be considered if an abnormal adrenal stress t est dictates this. To remedy the last point you need to combine a right-for-you whole food diet and should consider Aloeride and probiotics. Combined ignorance and arrogance has many athletes train 3 -4x /wk w ithout fuelling their bodies appropriately. The famous 5Ps: poor preparation produces poor performance open t he gates towards overtraining, injury, degenerative changes and illness. Improving the immune system of athletes helps reduce the number and length of in fections suffered by them. The large, highly immune modulating Aloeride fraction within Aloeride together with g ood probiotics does exactly that. Also they improve the uptake of necessary nutrients. A double-blind, place bo-controlled, cross-over trial published in Br J Sports Med. 2008 Feb 13 -was conducted in Australia over a four-month pe riod of winter training of twenty healthy, elite male distance runners. The conclusion was that prophyla ctic administration of probiotics was associated with a substantial reduction in the number of days and severity o f respiratory illness in a cohort of

highly trained distance runners likely due to a two-fold (p=0.07) greater change in whole-blood culture interferon gamma (IFN-fx) compared with placebo. Athletes, anoraks or anybody else suffering from an imbalance between physical a nd/or psychological stress, training or competition and recovery should change that balance, and ingest Aloe ride, probiotics and highly absorbable whole food nutrition to recover.

TITLE: SAY

ALOE

TO A FAB TRAVEL COMPANION

You ve packed your bags. You ve got your tickets and you travel. Fantastic, but may have left something behind that should have been in your wash bag or beauty case. There are three things people commonly meet when going on holiday: sunshine, new food types and alcohol. And fancy there being one single herb that has something to offer for all three Aloe vera is known to ease the effects of the above and good aloes may help your natural immune response. There is plenty of good research to underpin that aloe vera delivers these effects. Ma ny people know aloe vera as a liquid in bottles, hardly the thing to pack into a suitcase! So you will be interested to know that there is one blisterfoiled, encapsulated aloe product available that is manufactured to pharmaceutical GMP s tandard.* It takes up no space in your travel bags (or your coat pocket) and, as it so happens, it contains way more working ingredients than other aloe products. EASES DIGESTION & HANGOVERS Travel guides immediately gravitate towards travel diarrhea due to contaminated water (and ice cubes) or contaminated food stuffs. Sensible too, because during a two week vacation, up t o 50% of people will have one or more episodes of it, the person suffering from it can feel very ill indeed and i t can certainly be distressing enough to ruin a holiday or business trip. [Steffen R, DuPont H, Wilder-Smith A. Manual of Travel Medicine and Health, 2nd ed. BC Decker Inc., Ontario, Canada, 2003.] Fortunately for most European and Am erican Continent travelers, things rarely get this drastic. But you ll be surprised how many people do get a d icky tummy travelling. Aloeride placates the stomach and the gut lining (gastrointestinal tract), studie s in aloe research show aloe to have ulcer protection properties as well as to accelerate healing rates.** There are at least eight proper research papers on aloe s natural anti-inflammatory effect, so a food irritated digestive t ract will feel so much better for taking just a few capsules. It also is an extraordinary help the-day-after drink ing beyond an elegant sufficiency of alcohol the night before, just two tiny capsules settle that horrible stomach fe eling. Of course you ll never need it for that but still. EASES SUNBURN The seasoned traveler knows that on the beaches in the Caribbean you can get you r back rubbed with a freshly cut chunk of aloe vera to appease the red skin. The interesting thing is that, when you take Aloeride orally -2 capsules a day one week before and during your holiday -, you can achieve a simi lar effect, it helps the skin bounce back from a sudden change in sunlight exposure and is likely to keep your tan for longer. So one herb made

to unrivalled standards may make your holiday more enjoyable still. * classified as grade D (EU grade) / class 100,000 (US class Federal Standard 20 9E) / ISO 8 ** GALAL EE, KANDIL A, HEGAZY E, EL GHOROURY M, GOBRAN W: Aloe Vera and gastroin testinal ulceration, J Drug Res Egypt 7:73-77, 1975.; GUPTA MB, NATH R, GUPTA GP, BHARGAVA KP: Antiulcer act ivity of some plant triterpenoids, Indian J Med Res 73:649-652, 1981. iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living

TITLE: WHY CHOOSE ALOERIDE Why choose Aloeride over other aloe Vera products is a question some people, who haven t used Aloeride yet, may ask themselves. With so many aloe Vera products on offer and confusing aboun d, knowing what the right choice is can be difficult. Paragraph by paragraph this article talks you throug h what the implication is of everything in our Aloeride factsheet. Aloeride is the only aloe Vera food supplement in the world manufactured to pharm aceutical GMP (classified as grade D (EU grade)/ class 100,000 (US class Federal Standard 209E) / ISO 8) incl uding stability tests. All manufacturers have the choice what Quality Control they produce to and from the independent lab tests you may conclude that many place their bottom lines and profit margins before your b est interests. We set out to make the absolute best possible aloe vera product for you, with independently do cumented, verifiable Quality Control and we let financial implications be a secondary issue. This may not mak e the best business sense but to us it makes the best human sense. Aloeride s Methanol Precipitated Solids (working ingredients) measurement reaches a n unparalleled 4,680 mg/L, Size Exclusion Chromatography measured a vastly superior spectrum of -linked poly saccharides*. Because Aloeride uniquely contains all the required molecules in abundance, it ha s what it takes to deliver what research has shown aloe Vera can do. You d be surprised how many manufacturers quo te research without bothering to deliver the molecules necessary for those researched effects. Aloeride is a powder that does not need stabilizers, coloring agents, flavorings or other undesirable additions routinely found in fluid aloes. This is one aspect of what makes Aloeride a unique 100% pure and hypoallergenic p roduct. Striving for purity invites and embraces even the most sensitive and discerning of aloe Vera users. Aloeride is 100% pure with only totally inert SiO2 and Stearyl Fumerate as flow a gents for encapsulation. Without a flow agent one cannot get a consistent powder quantity into a capsule, we use a minimal amount of flow agents that does absolutely nothing in/to your body; another aspect of what makes Aloeride a 100% pure and hypoallergenic product. Aloeride is hypo-allergenic, to the species of aloe Vera itself there is no known allergy, sensitive people who react to fluid aloes very often have trouble with the additions or the poorer quality aloe used. Aloeride can help those who reportedly didn t tolerate other aloe Vera products.

Aloeride has a negligible <0.1ppm laxative polyhydroxyanthraquinones*, avoiding d iarrhea even in higher dosages. It is a manufacturer s choice whether or not their product contains laxative aloe vera molecules, for delicate digestive systems it is absolutely vital to have next to none. So we make Aloeri de fall below the smallest detectable quantity. iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living

Aloeride comes in tiny coni-snap capsules that can be swallowed easily by childre n as well as by adults who have difficulty in swallowing pills. It makes Aloeride so much easier to use, swallow a bit of water first then swallo w the tiny capsule(s) with more water. As easy as one-two-three, even for small kids. Aloeride has no taste; virtually all of the fluid aloes taste horrible. Very welcome -for kids as well as adults -especially because aloe gels/liquids a re not a better option anyway. Encapsulated and blister foiled, Aloeride has a shelf life of 2 years from manufa cture as opposed to 1 month refrigerated use from the moment of opening for all fluid aloes. Welcome news to episodically users. No refrigeration is necessary with Aloeride. Portability in hygienic blister foil + no refrigeration required = instant usability when people feel the need for it. Hugely important for those who want help there and then, and for whom aloe vera juice in the fridge at home would be useless. One pharmaceutical grade certified bovine gelatin (certified Kosher) capsule con tains: 180mg total process Aloe Vera Barbadensis Miller powder + 1.8mg inert Aerosil 200 BP NF (Silicon Dioxide SiO2 is quartz, the most common mineral and major constituent of many minerals) + 0.9mg inert Stearyl Fumerate Our deceptively small capsules contain virtually nothing other than pure aloe ve ra powder of an exemplary quality which contributes to making Aloeride a hypoallergenic product. Other products fla g wave to have more milligrams but none so far are in the same galaxy when it comes to delivering a meaningful quantity working molecules. If so desired, one can easily open the coni-snap capsule so as to ingest the Alo eride powder only. Aloeride is a very versatile product. How can there be more in a small pack of Aloeride compared to a 1 liter bottle of aloe vera juice? Aloe raw material has a ratio of 0.5gr (500mg) of total solids per 100mL of original juic e which contains 99.5mL (= mg as 1L = 1000gr, 1mL = 1gr = 1000mg) of water. One Aloeride 180mg capsule = [180mg/500mg s olids part] x 100mL = 36mL of original juice x 28 capsules/pack = 1,008mL so that is just over 1 liter of aloe vera juice. One pack of Aloeride equates well to 1L of original juice. In that 1L, measured by independen t laboratory tests, is 4,680mg/L of working ingredients (part of the total solids) and these 4,680mg consist of a very significantly better, -linked polysaccharide profile. It may be tempting to underestimate our small capsules but you would be so total

ly wrong. Tankards and bottles look like Goliath compared to our pack that is David; but we all know the outcom e of that one and with Aloeride history repeats itself. More molecules in a superior spectrum are the secret behind Aloeride s success. Success shows in more and more people recommending and using Aloeride. Aloeride ha s featured in magazine

editorials and is being talked about on UK live radio. iHealthiLicious.com | Your Guide to Healthy Living
