Preserved
Grapes
The
researchers dipped table grapes into
Aloe vera gel, and then stored them for
five weeks at low temperature. Another
group of grapes was left untreated, but
was exposed to the same conditions.
The
untreated grapes deteriorated within a
week, but the coated grapes remained
well-preserved for up to five weeks.
They were firmer, had less weight loss,
and less color change than the untreated
grapes. Gel-treated grapes were also
generally superior in taste.
A
Natural Barrier
It is
believed that the gel primarily works by
acting as a natural barrier to moisture
and oxygen. But it also appears to
contain antibiotic and antifungal
compounds that can inhibit
microorganisms responsible for
food-borne illness.
Safe
for Human Consumption
Aloe Vera
is safe for human consumption, and has
been used as an ingredient in some foods
and beverages for many years.

An Unusual
Pain Remedy That Works Faster Than
Aspirin…
It
involves no drugs or supplements
whatsoever and costs practically
nothing!
And here's a
novel yet highly effective home pain
remedy: One that involves no drugs or
supplements whatsoever. It costs
practically nothing – it's very
effective – and it works in just
minutes. What is it? It's static
electricity.
Yes, static
electricity. Medical science has long
recognized that the human body is
pulsing with tiny electrical currents.
And "normalizing" this flow of
electricity promotes healing.
Here's how
to use static electricity for aches and
pains: Go to your local hardware store
and get an ordinary painter's mitt –
plus a one-foot section of PVC pipe
about an inch thick. Create an electric
charge by rubbing the pipe vigorously
with the mitt for 1 minute. Then slowly
sweep the pipe over the painful area.
Move in a
head-to-toe direction, about a half inch
away from your skin. After 3 or 4
passes, recharge the pipe by rubbing it
again with the mitt. Keep repeating the
process until the pain subsides.
Most
people get relief within a few minutes,
and the relief is usually quite
dramatic. Try it – you'll be amazed!

the result of arthritis or worn or
