For the last two weeks, I have been discussing a particularly powerful healing plant like none I have come across before, the aloe family of plants (alluded to in previous articles).
Unlike the other 300 or 400 species found in different continents, aloe arborescens has phytocompounds and nutrients superior to other plants, even superseding the popular aloe vera plant found in the form of juice in health stores and which is included in most skincare products.
According to Father Zago’s book, Aldo Facetti, a herbalist, said in an interview on TV Riviera that, “Aloe vera, or barbadensis, provides 40 percent of the active ingredients against cancer, while the arborescens variety provides 70 percent,” making it very potent.
I know from the numerous e-mails I receive that readers are eager to know the contents of the aloe formula created by Father Romano Zago of Brazil.
The mixture is basically made up of the aloe arborescens mature leaf, or frond, of a 5-year-old plant. The time of harvesting is important in order to protect the potency of the active phytocompounds and polysaccharides and to ensure the effectiveness of the formula.
The ingredients are:
• 350 grams of aloe arborescens mature leaf
• 500 grams of pure, raw, non-commercial honey
• 40 milliliters of organic apple vinegar
Mix the three ingredients in a blender and store the mixture in a dark glass bottle in the refrigerator. The measurement of the ingredients need not be as accurate as listed above. Any discrepancy in the measurements of the honey will not affect the effectiveness or reduce the potency of the mixture.
To prepare, you should wipe the thick pulpy leaves from dust or soil with a dry cloth; remove the thorns on both edges of the leaf with a sharp knife; cut the leaf in chunks; and beat both green and pulp in the blender. Add the honey and vinegar and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture in a dark glass bottle. For more protection from light, wrap the bottle with aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for the 10-day course. Shake well before drinking.
For maximum effect, the mixture should be consumed on an empty stomach before meals, as undiluted gastric acids help the ingredients to be taken up by the bloodstream and transported to the body, brain and systems. Absorption of the components may become comprised when taken during or after meals, rendering it less effective.
A a preventative measure against cancer, 1 to 2 tablespoons should be taken before the three meals for 10 days a year. Two tablespoons should be taken three times daily for 10 days for treating cancer. A 10-day resting period is important. Repeat the course until the cancer goes into remission. After two or three courses of the aloe mixture, the patient should undergo medical tests by the treating physician to monitor his or her health condition.
Individuals with significant chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and others should consider refraining from eating red meat during the treatment, refined sugar carbohydrates, fatty fried foods, trans fats synthetic preservatives and additives. They should increase intake of whole fruit, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and healthy essential fatty acids high in Omega-3 instead.
The distillate is to preserve the mixture from perishing and also to act as a vasodilator (vessel dilator) in order to increase blood flow, speeding up the detoxifying action of the preparation. I suggest replacing the distillate with vinegar to preserve and enhance the absorption of aloe’s active ingredients like aloin.
The five-year aloe leaves, or fronds, should be harvested after sunset and before sunrise, as sunlight can destroy some of the plants important compounds. The leaves should be cut with care, because of their thorny edges. Time of harvesting should be respected with most medicinal herbs. Once cut in the dark, the leaves should be immediately wrapped in aluminum foil to protect its cancer-curing ingredients from the light. Because the aloe leaves are porous and absorbent, they should be picked at least one week after rainfall to maintain the plant’s effectiveness, as it is already 95 percent water.
The plant used for medicinal purposes should be grown away from contaminated water (sewers, pesticides), atmospheric pollutants (smoke, car exhaust) and toxic environments.
The honey should be of a superior quality and not heated, pasteurized, or commercial. Honey is important because of its bioavailability, active ingredients and richness in enzymes, antioxidants, amino acids, and other nutrients, which fortify and detoxify on the cellular level.
According to Father Zago, honey increases the potency of the formula, because “It is a vehicle that carries the aloe,” cleansing impurities from the body and blood. In a previous article about cancer, I gave the formula of another effective blend, equal parts of honey, garlic, and Sativa nigella (habbah sowda). It must not be forgotten that honey was recommended in the Holy Qur’an for its curative benefits (Surat Al-Nahl, or the chapter entitled “The Bees”).
The aloe mixture is also effective when taken along with chemical and radiation therapies to reduce undesired side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue. It gives energy and bolsters strength and immunity. The course can be repeated at intervals as needed. Aloe is not toxic, but it should be taken with the knowledge of the doctor.
Word of caution. Treatment should not be interrupted; otherwise the cancer will retaliate with greater intensity and aggressively, multiplying cancer cells rapidly. Unless remedy is resumed immediately, healing becomes quite unlikely and the disease terminal. However, no matter how terminal the cancer stage is, the mixture can mitigate the disease.
The preparation can be taken once a year as a maintenance dose. For prevention, it should be taken for ten days once or twice a year to cleanse the body and blood. The recipe heals on the cellular level by resetting the immune system and making it functional to fight disease.
The need to detoxify with natural cleansers is more stringent than ever because environmental pollution and physical and emotional stressors have increased and toxic chemicals and materials and heavy metals are found everywhere in the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe.
The side effects of aloe are a few, but can occur. They range from frequent urination, dark urine, gas, and diarrhea to skin rash.
The dry form of aloe, sibr, found at traditional herbal stores, is extremely potent in the eradication of disease. Tiny amounts should be diluted in water and taken on an empty stomach. I heard of its effectiveness, first hand, from a woman who had breast cancer. A decade later, she is still alive.
There are other healing natural remedies for cancer and other diseases, such as mixing equal parts of garlic, nigella sativa (known in Arabic as “habba sawda”) and raw honey. Laetril, graviola, noni and mushrooms can also be taken along with chemotherapy to enhance its effectiveness and give energy (these have been discussed in earlier articles).
Indeed, chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs are not necessarily the only healers of cancer. They can heal, but immunity is often boosted and the quality of life enhancedv when accompanied by alternative therapies.
