Aloe Isn't Medicine and Yet... It Cures!

I found this book very informative. The author is very generous in offering quite a few options and ingredients in mixing this formula. The main complaint I have is that it is almost impossible to find the aloe plant the author recommends, and if you do, it is expensive. Luckily, you can use the regular medicinal aloe plant and still get impressive results.

Father Zago's new book is an obvious and welcome companion to his first, as he expands here on a few more concepts. Written in the same easy-to-understand manner as his first "Cancer Can Be Cured" book, this volume overall seems to be just as anecdotal in scope. Father Zago responds here to the many questions he had received following the publication of his first book. The main suggestion is that people who follow his aloe-syrup recipe may, if they wish, tweak a bit the formula, so as to better adapt it to their own subjective taste and needs. In other words, one need not be too proscriptive about following the exact syrup instructions in every single detail. Pp. 63-129 detail several ailments that Father Zago says can be cured by the aloe arborescens treatment (from asthma to candidiasis, to halitosis, to insomnia, to tonsillitis, just to mention a few that he lists). Those readers who wish to be presented with more science than just anecdotal evidence will be rewarded by the index on pp. 133-162 where -- listed in alphabetical order by author -- the book provides a list of over 150 bibliographical scientific entries detailing international studies conducted on the scientific and botanical properties of aloe. Father Zago's own language and written style remain, as per his first book, humble and unpretentious. This is a very readable volume, which must be read together with his first book. Otherwise, this volume alone does not make a whole lot of sense, for it assumes the reader is already familiar with "Cancer Can Be Cured".
