I know they remove the immoden (sp) from most of the aloe, but maybe enough remains to cause you a problem, or it may be the preservatives. In that case, maybe it wouldn't be good for you, but if you want to try, I get mine in a health food store. Just make sure the brand you buy has the potassium sorbate, some only have sodium benzoate. In herbology, diarrhea is usually caused by the fire/heat principle being out of balance. That partially explains why the silver (which is very cooling) works for the problem. But I'm wondering if it isn't setting up a vicious cycle, killing off too much of the flora in the process. I think that is what happens with me also. Maybe someone on this list might suggest where you could get potassium sorbate? Sally

The most I could ever take of the liquid is a TBS per day, after working up to it. More than that gives me terrible diarrhea. (Diarrhea being my most debilitating symptom anyway, it is not something I care to encourage). One of the great benefits or oral CS to me has been that it usually stops diarrhea very fast, if I drink enough all at once (like about a pint--chugged). I am looking into the option of oregano oil, which Paul Holloway suggested, too. In one place I read it is an alternative to Caprylic acid which I had to stop taking a few months ago.
