QUESTION: Someone told me there were impurities in the aloe plant and it was better when it was processed and those impurities were filtered out. Is that true?
I grow aloe in my window sill with no chemical fertilizers, is it safe to ingest, use, etc. ?

Richard won't be the only one who can answer this, I'm sure. When one buys a gel for topical application, what's in it that forms the gel? I only know of gelatine and carrageenan to make a gel, and can't see that either of those would be used. What then? Two queries prompt me here. Firstly, I'm wondering how one could make a thicker topical preparation for CS or CS+DMSO than liquid, bearing in mind that the DMSO would carry any ingredients in very efficiently. One might not wish to use ready-made products with possibly unwanted ingredients. Secondly, if one buys DMSO gel (thankfully I found the liquid), what ingredients are in the gel that would get carried into the body? Thanks Rowena
