Aloe Veterinary Use

ALOE VERA NO ANIMAL.  

The effectiveness of aloe in use in animals appears to be self-evident. In fact, their credibility rests on clinical remarkable results of its use in animal testing laboratory, not only in toxicological studies, but also on animals and on animal tissue cultures in various bacteriological tests.
 
There are several reasons to treat animals with Aloe, but among them, and perhaps the most important because they help answer the challenge that treatment with Aloe Vera is primarily "mental", ie, a psychosomatic cure for psychosomatic problems.

"The mind simply decides if it wants to make the body look good.
 
The body has no choice, "the rejection is that we often hear the purists do about the plant that heals. In answer to this, making a simple observation that animals can not do mental or moral choices between different types of treatments.
 
Whatever the treatments they undergo due to their real illnesses, can not come from the power of their minds because their levels of intelligence did not enable these animals and realize that the trauma involved. Whatever treatment they receive will succeed by virtue of this treatment and not because it is a placebo masquerading as medicine.
 
The second reason is a widely used rule of thumb: anything that works in men, it works in animals and vice versa. Needs similar treatment to animals, aloe vera is also bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal, anti-inflammatory, nourishing, emollient, penetrating and excellent renewal of damaged tissues, both in its enzymatic activity, and through the amino acid compound.
 
In a 1975 report, Dr. Robert Northway, Van Nuys, California, used Aloe products are also bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal, anti-inflammatory, nourishing, emollient, penetrating and excellent renewal of damaged tissues, both in its enzymatic activity as through the amino acid compound. In addition, he is an excellent treatment modality for bones, joints and tendonitis (common problems in the horse race).  

His wide range of potential enables both veterinarians and laymen to treat all types of animals from pets to the livestock. Use in Horses In recent years, there was interest in the medical potential of this plant and also went to veterinary medicine.
 
Aloe Vera products are promoted for the treatment of animals and there are suppliers who work to promote products for use in horses and farm animals (poultry and rabbits, for example).

Only the reserves, decided to use an amount of gel to evaluate the product under specific conditions, they used two forms of aloe vera extract in clinical cases with horses: an oral gel (mixed with food) and a topical gel and lotion epidermal.  

The epidermal cases were treated using Aloe Vera, based on established experience with other topical products, we used the plant extract in lesions that respond in predictable ways to other medications and compare the results.
 
For the oral gel, was elected to the syndrome of lethargy, which has barely responded to standard therapy and offered the opportunity to explain to customers that would use Aloe Vera because there was little to do with traditional medicines.
 
Horses affected by this disease has white blood cell count below normal when compared to horses of similar type, age and conditions. Often has a good appetite and can be in good condition.  

He has little tolerance to exercise and be lethargic in the stables. Some horses show a concomitant anemia. The disease could be secondary to viral or bacterial respiratory infection, but other horses there was an obvious cause and the owner simply reported that the horse had fallen and weak.
 
Because of the similarity with the human post-viral syndromes or persistent viral infection, it was thought that the viral agent was responsible, but so far not produced any isolation or identification of viruses.  

Without treatment, some horses will recover with rest and time, but others would be lethargic for months until the end.


In this experiment, multivitamin supplement, and antibiotics have failed standard therapies. Were treated cases of leukopenia and persistent lethargy with aloe vera gel at a rate of 240ml per day from 3 to 5 weeks. All horses included in the test had leucopenia and depression but no other signs of disease or infection.
 
Some have previously received other treatments, including multivitamins and immunostimulants, such as extract of cell walls of bacteria or levamisole. None of the horses received treatment while it was coincident with Aloe Vera.  

The results indicate that a significant portion of the horses respond to oral medication with Aloe.
 
In animals that showed increase in total leukocytes, there was also an increase in vitality and endurance exercises. Animals that did not improve were separated to rest more.

These results are significantly better than the experience with other treatments or just to rest. BIOGRAPHY: Barcroft, Alasdair. Aloe Vera - Nature's Legendary Healer. Souvenir Press Ltd, London, 1996.
