Is Aloe really the miracle plant people say it is? Scientific studies have shown it is effective in the treatment of many conditions. Dr. Ivan Danhof, a gastroenterologist teaching at the Southwestern Medical School of the University of Texas Health Sciences Center, Dallas, is considered the world’s foremost expert on aloe vera. His research into this amazing healing plant began with investigations into the effectiveness of the aloe in healing ulcers. To his amazement, he found that in fact aloe did heal stomach ulcers in lab animals, so he tested this new revelation against standardized ulcer drugs and found aloe was equal to if not superior to Tagamet. This was the beginning of his quest to uncover more about this aloe vera plant and what other benefits could be derived both internally and externally by the use of aloe vera, and he has since found many other benefits.
