The Greens help me wind down…

"Often at night I can't sleep because I'm too worked up running my businesses. If I don't take a Green, I sometimes keep working till 3 or 4 AM, and feel dreadful the next day.

"So now I take Greens with dinner and about 20 minutes before I want to retire, so my mind is calm enough for me to go to sleep. I used to have a shot of cognac or vodka, and sometimes I still do, but they don't work as well as the Greens, plus they're way more expensive and not as healthy."

New Dad finds health – more energy, sleeps better, doesn’t fly off the handle at work anymore…

"If you had asked me at the beginning of the year what I was doing to stay healthy, I would have looked at you with a blank stare. Healthy? Who cares, you only get one ride on this merrygo-round they call life, so why not have fun and be happy.

"Then came the day when, after climbing the stairs to go to bed, I was out of breath and sweating like a pig - and I had walked up them. I thought to myself, "How could I let myself get so out of shape in only 36 years?" Something had to change quick. I was about to become a dad and I want to be around to watch my children grow up.

"I was fortunate to know someone who was so enthusiastic about the Pops that I had no choice but to try them. I am so glad I did. I can now climb stairs easily without sweating, I sleep better at night and I don't fly off the handle at work anymore.

"I love the Pops because they are easy to work into my daily routine. For me, it's one Purple in the morning and one Green after dinner. The Purple gives me the energy to get through the day while the Green helps get rid of all the garbage I eat and helps me sleep better at night."

Unstuck, finally…

"I lost 37 pounds on a low carb diet, but I wasn't eating veggies and I got plugged up. With Pop-A-Green I've been normal for a year now. I can stay on my low carb plan and not worry about getting sick. With both Pops, my husband's high cholesterol dropped 60 points after 3 months..."

Aloe vera gel

Aloe vera is a succulent plant well-known for its skin healing properties, but is also useful for maintaining gastrointestinal health, normal blood sugar levels, and even has anticancer properties. It contains over 70 biologically-active compounds, some of which have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, as well as beneficial effects on the immune system.

Aloe vera gel is effective in healing a variety of wounds, such as those caused by frostbite, electrical injury, and wounds common in diabetes. Aloe vera juice is commonly used for internal healing and soothing of chronic digestive symptoms.  Inflammatory bowel disease is on such chronic difficult-to-treat condition for which effective treatments are lacking. In addition, many of the conventional therapies can cause serious side effects. Aloe vera has been shown to reduce the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis), and is safe and well-tolerated.

Aloe vera is also a traditional remedy for diabetes in the Middle East. Diabetes is an increasingly prevalent chronic disease that causes serious complications and increased risk of premature death. Aloe vera has recently been shown in clinical studies to reduce high blood glucose levels in people with diabetes and its consumption may help prevent diabetes in healthy people.

The anticancer effects of aloe vera are especially interesting. Aloe vera specifically targets the HER2/neu gene that plays a role in highly aggressive forms of breast cancer, non-small-cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and gastric cancer.  By inhibiting this gene, aloe vera helps kill cancer cells, but is completely nontoxic to normal, healthy cells. In addition, a compound found in aloe vera leaves, aloe-emodin, has also been shown to target tumor cells in neuroblastoma, a highly malignant tumor in infants that causes 10% of all childhood cancers. Aloe-emodin selectively inhibited the growth of tumor cells and caused their death, while having no effect on normal healthy cells. The selectivity is important, because the toxic effect of many anti-cancer compounds is due to their nonselective damage of healthy tissues.
