-------------- Dear Floriano, 1) The medical properties of aloe vera have been exhaustively documented. Extracts of aloe vera are available in different forms and don't have to be purchased through any single MLM firm, or under a specific brand name at exhorbitant prices. 2) Aloe vera does not cure HIV. Neither does virgin coconut oil or Caju Feni. 3) Multi Level Marketing, involving products with exagerrated medical benefits, is the second-last resort of scoundrels. 4) Both my grandmothers are dead. My paternal grandmother used a lot of home remedies for simple ailments. Even she had the good sense to know that certain life threatening diseases cannot be cured with home remedies. 5) Cheers!
