Aloe Treatment
After doing this (below listed) aloe treatment for just a few weeks, I'm am finding I have a lot more energy. I have been able to go out the last 4 days in a row! This is incredibly good for me. I spend most of my life homebound and a good deal of it bedridden. These below two supplements are what I am on (in terms of the aloe): a pill and a liquid aloe product.
Has anyone else tried aloe? From what I read online about aloe, it helps heal the gut, whatever that means. But others online (not ME/CFS patients, but just others in general) also say that aloe gives them more energy. I can certainly say that I am doing much better since starting aloe. We shall see if it continues to give me good results over time, or if the good results stop in a short time, as can happen with some treatments.
1. liquid aloe (i drink 2 oz of this 2x per day)

(this one is without preservatives, and it is "stronger" than the usual one, as it has more "polysacchaide rich aloescorb" in it, which i think is just concentrated aloe)
2. aloe capsules (i take 1 tablet of this 2x per day)
