Aloe Vera Helping The Heart

Aloe Vera Helping The Heart
by Jason Cornell

A study done in 1985 before the information regarding aloe vera and Aleride was
known used 5,000 people with acknowledged coronary artery disease and angina
pectoris, which is chest pain on physical exertion, which indicates a lake of circulation
of blood to the heart muscles, were fed with aloe vera added to their diet. The
results were no more signs of angina pectoris, no development of lethal heart
attacks and prescription drugs were no longer needed to control symptoms, but
didn't cure them.

Hardening of the arteries is a complex disease, which involves microscopic damage
to small and large arteries alike. Hardened plague lines the arteries. When the small
arteries have a plague line, which builds up, the smaller the passageway making
blood circulation difficult. The organs and tissues needing the blood and the oxygen
are deprived, which causes damage to the organs and tissue due to the lack of
oxygen and blood, and the build up of carbon dioxide and other toxic waste, which
should be carried away by the arteries.

When the coronary arteries are blocked, blood no longer flows freely; it will sludge
through the arteries. With physical exertion the heart muscle needs more oxygen.
When it request for more oxygen and blood is not delivered, a heart muscle is
damaged and it dies. When the heart muscles dies, it is called a heart attack. If the
right muscle of the heart dies, the person will die instantly.

By reducing the platelet stickiness, Aloe vera alleviates the coronary syndrome the
same thing aspirin and Plavex are currently used for. The usual job for the platelet is
blood clotting to stop bleeding when blood vessels are injured. When the platelets
become sticky more than normal, the platelet will form a clot in a blood vessel
whose walls are lined with too much plaque. Sometimes it will permanently shut off
the blood flow through that artery or blood vessel.

The clotting can cause damage to the tissue of the brain by causing a stroke and
kidneys in people with hardening of the arteries and those with diabetes. The diabetes
will accelerate the process of small vessel disease and the damage to organs and
tissues.

Aloe vera has the ability to reduce platelet stickiness and decrease the inflammation
caused by microvascular injury. It reduces the build up and can even reverse the
hardening of the arteries as well as prevent it.

Because of the aloe, Aloeride pills can
benefit the circulatory system. Aloe
lowers triglycerides and LDL or the
"bad cholesterol" and raises HDL the
"good cholesterol". Several studies
have shown when aloe is added to
the diet, symptoms and signs of
coronary artery disease disappeared.
The people in the study never
developed heart problems. The same
studies noted patients were able to
discontinue their prescriptions of the
pills they had taken the in past for
chest pain, blood pressure and blood
sugar control.
