Reply #8: Way back in the early 70's, my mom insisted to our family doctor [View All]

that aloe vera was good for sunburns. (this was before aloe vera became used in everything) He continually dismissed that as an "old wives tale" until he & my dad went fishing one day & came back with sunburn. Mom did what she always did & sliced up some aloe vera. The doctor decided to "test" it on himself, even while he said he knew it wouldn't work. He put aloe on one arm & nothing on the other. He & dad got to talking & a while later he said "hey, the arm I put aloe vera on feels much better than the one I didn't." :think:

I'd like to post that in "Health," but don't feel like dealing with those folks.
