Subject: Arthritis and aloe gel

Hi diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis 9 years ago. Treated with humira and methotrexate. Struggle at times. Wondered if anyone had tried the forever living aloe gel??? Is it safe to use with meds or not worth it.
Thank you

Its cheaper to buy an Aloe Vera plant from Ikea for £2.99. They grow very quickly and you can add the stems to a smoothie.

I've dabbled with Aloe Vera - but was not 100% convinced - got some strange results with tummy upset.

I think there are some studies of efficacy - Aloe apparently had strong anti microbial properties against - at least

Streptococcus Mutans
E-Coli
Staphylococcus

...and we know from 100s of other studies that some gut bacteria can cause Molecular Mimicry response in arthritis.

But if it kills some then it might let other bugs thrive - but Aloe does also have good mineral content - but taking a pol probably not much

I think there will be other things that do a similar job to Aloe - to stop bacterial reaction in the gut / colon - or get increased minerals to support immune system.
