The Beauty Secret of the Ancients

The legendary Egyptian queen Cleopatra championed the nature of aloe. She is reputed to have anointed her skin with aloe gel and even bathe in it. It was one of the secrets to her fabled beauty.

Aloe vera is a desert plant with amazing abilities to absorb and retain moisture. It contains 200 beneficial compounds that promote glowing, youthful looking skin and hair:

Salicylic acid, a natural exfoliant recommended by dermatologists
12 vitamins including the antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E
18 amino acids, including all 8 essential amino acids the body cannot produce
Beneficial enzymes
Numerous other nutritional ingredients

Our skin is the front line defense in our daily fight against pollution and other environmental irritants, so we need to protect and reinforce it with extra care.

Aloe vera, whose most traditional use as a natural product is to soothe the skin, is an ideal defense. We have designed unique and varied products that work naturally by providing essential moisturizers and vitamins to the skin.

Our skin care products can help counteract the environment’s harsh effects, and are reinforced with the International Aloe Science Council Seal of Approval

Aloe Vera for Your Dental Health

Aloe Vera has proven itself to be very beneficial in several health functions. Even though the heath benefits of Aloe Vera has been established for a long time, Dentists were skeptical about the use of Aloe Vera in Dental Health.

A recent study published in the journal General Dentistry seems to put those skepticism to rest, showing that Aloe Vera as a tooth gel is as effective (if not more) in controlling Bacteria that causes Cavities as any other commercially available toothpaste.

“This preliminary in vitro study demonstrated that aloe vera tooth gel was as effective as two commercially popular toothpastes in controlling all of the organisms used in the study. In addition, the gel demonstrated superior antibacterial effect against S. mitis despite the absence of additional fluoride. The aloe vera tooth gel used in the present study has no added fluoride content but still exerts almost an equal amount of antimicrobial activity.” (Comparative evaluation of the antimicrobial efficacy of aloe vera tooth gel and two popular commercial toothpastes: An in vitro study Dilip George, MDS n Sham S. Bhat, MDS n Beena Antony, PhD)

In addition, Aloe Vera is an Anti-Inflammatory due to the presence of anthraquinones, which can help with the expansion and redness of Gingivitis and other mild forms of Gum Disease.

Important Note: Increasing evidence has linked Gum Disease and Inflammation to various systemic health problems such as Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke.

The inner gel of Aloe Vera plant has been used for Remedial causes since Biblical times. The Nutrients within its leaves have the ability to soothe and heal.
In 1976, Dr Wolfe came across Russian studies that showed Aloe Vera's use for treating Gum Disease. Since then, the Aloe Vera plant has been utilized for a variety of different Dental Health conditions.
According to the article by Dr Timothy E. Moore D.D.S/M.S.,P.C Aloe Vera has been shown to enhance defense mechanisms and it has a variety of components to help combat Periodontal disease and other Oral conditions.
"As a periodontist utilizing Aloe Vera in various consistencies for the last 14 years with over 6,000 documented patients who have been treated with applications, I've observed remarkable healing, reduced edema, and pain control"- Dr Moore Testifies.

There are 8 main uses of Aloe Vera in Dental Health practice:

1. Use straight to the sites of Periodontal Surgery.

2. Applications to the Gum tissues when they have been distressed or scratched by toothbrush-dentifrice abrasion, sharp foods, dental floss, and toothpick injuries.

3. Chemical burns are relieved quickly from accidents with aspirin.

4. Tooth extraction sites respond more comfortably and dry sockets do not develop when Aloe Vera is applied.

5. Acute mouth lesions are improved by direct application on herpetic viral lesions, aphthous ulcers, canker sores, and cracks occuring at the corners of our lips. Gum blister are soothed by the application of Aloe as well.

6. Other oral diseases chronic in nature respond with Lichen Planus and Benign Pemphigus. Even Gum Problems associated with AIDS and Leukemia patients receive relief. Migratory glossititis, geographic tongue and burning mouth syndrome are improved.

7. Denture patients with sore edge and ill-fitting dentures & partials can benefit by the use of Aloe.

8. Aloe Vera can also be used around dental implants to control inflammation from bacteria contamination.

Aloe Vera as Tooth Gel

In 1982,Forever Living Products introduced Aloe Vera based Tooth gel.

Toothpastes rely on soap and sand, or reasonable facsimiles, to kill and remove harmful bacteria and other microorganisms from the mouth, teeth and gums. Aloe vera gel’s ability to do this seems to lie in compounds called anthraquinones, which are also anti-inflammatory.
Because Aloe Vera gel doesn't contain the abrasives found in most toothpastes, it is gentler on the teeth and gums. This makes it attractive to people with Sensitive Teeth or Gums.
Recently, Aloe Vera has gained popularity as an active ingredient in Tooth Gel. Similar to its use on skin, the Aloe in Tooth Gels is used to cleanse and soothe Teeth and Gums.
Forever Living Products Aloe based Tooth Gel doesn't contain Fluoride or Bleaching agents. So it can Cleanse and Brighten your teeth naturally, ensuring you Dental Health

Aloe vera and Swine Flu

Aloe Vera and swine flu go very well together. It appears, so far, that this form of flu, besides being possibly lab-produced, is a very mild form, but the doom-mongers and panic producers are out in force, telling us that it will massively increase in severity and fatalities come autumn and winter.
Well, it doesn't have to be like that. We can all take steps to minimise the risks, without resorting to untested, speedily produced vaccines which could in all probability make us worse, but the drug companies even richer.
We only succumb to colds, flu, or any other infectious illness if our immune system is not as efficient as it should be. We are surrounded by millions of germs every day, but most of us only rarely get ill. This is because the body is perfectly capable of protecting itself, given the right support.
This is where Aloe vera, amongst other substances comes in. As previously mentioned, one of the main areas aloe helps is in the immune system, where approx 70% of our immune system is. Along with a healthy whole food diet, probiotics, most of the time this is sufficient to keep us healthy, especially when taking exercise, and relaxation to keep stress at bay.
Whatever infectious illness we are talking about, basic measures, like frequent hand-washing, personal cleanliness, without being fanatical are helpful.
Forever also do supplements which are beneficial in these instances: Garlic and thyme are both potent anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal, you can take more than the suggested dose if necessary.
There is Echinacea supreme, which as well as high-quality Echinacea, contains goldenseal and grape seed extract, which have the added benefits of being powerful against Candida and thrush, as well as colds and flu. Bee propolis is another powerful anti-viral agent, used by the bees to keep their hives sterile. Not forgetting Vitamin C, which is helpful in normal doses to boost the immune system, and in higher doses to combat infections: absorbent-C.

Get ready for Cold and Flu Season

One of the pleasant certainties of life -- at least here in Canada -- is the coming of autumn, a three-month period when nature's trees begin to lose their leaves after offering a magnificent display of blazing reds, pinks, yellows and rusty combinations of rich colors.
It all happens round about September, October.

But Cold and flu season in Canada runs from October until April. We would like to remind Canadians of the important safety precautions they should keep in mind to protect themselves and their families.

We at Forever have long known about the benefits of Echinacea, and now the scientific community have at last endorsed our belief. My advice is to keep some in stock, you never know when you might need to fight off an infection.

Echinacea – ‘can prevent a cold’
Taking the herbal remedy Echinacea can more than halve the risk of catching a common cold, US researchers say.
They found it decreased the odds of developing a cold by 58% and the duration of colds by a day-and-a-half.
Experts believe Echinacea, a collection of nine related plant species indigenous to North America, may work by boosting the body’s immune system.

"Echinacea may reduce the duration of illness and decreases the severity of cough, headache, and nasal congestion”
Professor Ron Cutler of
the University of East London

Forever stocks superior quality Echinacea along with a complete range of nutritional supplements which can be useful during cold and flu season.

Understanding Your Skin Structure and Skin Care Routine

The skin is made up of 3 layers.Each layer plays a vital role in maintaining healthy skin.
The bottom or deepest layer of the skin is the hypodermis. It is made up of fatty tissue that cushions and supports the two layers of skin above it.
The middle layer of skin is called the dermis. It contains collagen and elastin which give the skin its form, shape and elasticity. The collagen and elastin in young, healthy skin are constantly renewed. That's why children's skin bounces back into shape without getting any fine lines. Older skin tends to sag and wrinkle because the collagen and elastin are damaged and not renewed as often. The dermis is also where the blood capillaries, hair follicles, sweat and oil glands are found. As we age, oil glands become less active, causing skin to become drier and more prone to the formation of fine lines.
The top layer or epidermis, is where the critical function of cell renewal takes place.
New skin cells are born at the base of the epidermis and slowly move upward, losing moisture and flattening out as they rise until they form a paper thin barrier at the top of the epidermis. This indispensable new barrier guards against moisture loss and environmental damage.
The cells in younger skin are replaced about every 15 -30 days. As we age, this process takes twice as long.

Sun exposure and pollution damage the moisture barrier in the epidermis and the elastin and collagen in the dermis. This causes the skin to lose elasticity. As a result fine lines and wrinkles will form. In addition, sun exposure can cause the skin to produce excess melanin, which leads to the formation of dark spots on the skin.

A skin care routine that includes cleansing, toning and moisturising will minimize the effects of aging, sun exposure and pollution
Cleansing with a gentle cleanser removes dirt, pollutants and excess oil from the skin while preserving the skin's critical moisture barrier. Without proper cleansing, pores will get clogged, the skin will be more prone to breakouts, and can appear dull

Fight Arthritis

The condition of Arthritis is familiar to most of us and affects many thousands of people every year. Osteo Arthritis is caused by wear and tear of the large weight bearing joints, such as the knees, ankles and hips. It also occurs quicker in the highly mobile joints of the cervical and lumbar spine as well as the shoulder girdle. The lubrication and ease of movement of these joints are maintained by synovial fluid within the joint and the healthiness of the cartilage which surrounds the interface of the bones at the joint. With age and over use, the synovial fluid shrinks and cartilage undergoes wear and tear, eventually causing bone to grind against bone. This causes pain and poor mobility.

How Aloe Vera Works

In Acute, Painful and Swollen Joints
Acutely inflamed swollen joints caused by Rheumatoid Arthritis or trauma respond very well to ingestion of Aloe Vera Juice, as well as topical application of Aloe Vera Cream or jelly on the affected joints.
Aloe Vera contains anti-inflammatory agents such as Bradykininase, salicylates, natural steroids called phyto-steroids and vitamins A,B,C and E which act as powerful anti-oxidants. They act by mopping up high speed super oxides produced during the process of inflammation. Aloe Vera is also high in mineral content; these are needed for enzyme reactions in the joint and allow the joint to heal quicker.
Osteo Arthritis and long standing Rheumatoid Arthritis eventually result in deformation of the joint and loss of function.
Marked improvements can be made with Aloe Vera if taken on a regular basis. Aloe Vera contains high levels of glucosamine which is required for cartilage formation.
The anti-inflammatory effects of Aloe Vera relieve sore and inflamed joints. The lignin content in Aloe Vera allows for deep penetration through the skin. Orthodox medicines can help but have their own side effects. Aloe Vera has no side effects.

How to apply Aloe Vera cream

Clean the skin over the affected joint and apply MSM cream or Heat Lotion topically. Gently massage in for 20 seconds and repeat the process. In acutely inflamed joints effective pain relief can be obtained by applying every hour. In chronic conditions four times a day would be ample.
To deal with conditions that have a longer duration of pain, for example, Osteo Arthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis, it is important to maintain a regular drink of Aloe Vera. This can vary between 40-60 mls 4times a day. It can take up to 2-3 months to produce beneficial effect. It is important to note that compliance is the essence of success, particularly in conditions that have been on going for 20-30 years.

In combination with Active HA , Aloe Heat Lotion or MSM cream for topical treatment and massage, Forever Freedom attains exceptional results in increasing the overall quality of life, without fear of adverse reactions and side effects.

Forever Active HA provides a unique form of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, with moisturizing and lubricating properties, plus Ginger Oil and Turmeric,¬ making it one of the most powerful nutritional joint and skin moisturizing supplements on the market. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a special protein that our bodies produce to lubricate and cushion our joints and muscles, as well as to insure adequate skin hydration. As we age, our bodies produce less and less HA. With less HA, our joints can lose their natural lubrication, and our skin appears rough and dry. Until recently, HA had to be injected because the digestive system could not absorb it in its natural state; but thanks to the Injuv® process, HA may now be consumed orally. And for centuries, Chinese herbalists have used Ginger and Turmeric to help promote proper joint function. With low molecular weight HA, plus the power of Ginger Oil and Turmeric,

Forever Active HA is your key to becoming a well-oiled machine again!
• Lubricates the joints and moisturizes skin
• Unique form of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid
• Contains beneficial ginger and turmeric root for the joints
