one day while working in our greenhouse, the voice that speaks to me from within prompted me to break off a piece of aloe barbadensis the size of my thumbnail. I swallowed it with water, outer shell and all, like a big pill. I repeated the process daily until one afternoon I wiped the sweat from my brow and the tissue was bright green! It startled me so I stopped taking the aloe. The acne outbreak I was about to experience never came, and I've been acne free for over ten years now. The whole process took about a week. It was painless, it was cheap, and praise God it worked!
