According to Cancer Research UK and their studies, there is a strong link between aloe and cancer prevention.
The studies from 2010 took lab mice for an experiment.
The results were that aloe vera could affect skin cancer, if not prevent it.
Unfortunately, only one of the studies had a favorable outcome for aloe vera.
The first one showed that applying aloe onto the skin or taking it orally reduces the number of skin cancers in mice.
On the other hand, in the other study aloe vera was found to increase skin cancer numbers in female mice.
Due to the lack of clear, trustworthy and favorable results, it is too early for scientists to regard aloe vera as one of the possible ways of cancer prevention.
However, aloe might be of help for those undergoing the chemotherapy process.
A group of scientists from Italy conducted a research where they monitored 240 lung, bowel, and stomach cancer patients who were undergoing chemotherapy.
Relying on the placebo effect or an aloe variation, known Aloe arborescens, the researchers gave the patients this supplement three times a day.
It was also given during their entire chemotherapy treatment.
The researchers were astonished by the results that were greatly in favor of aloe vera.
Not only did the results show it can treat cancer, but it also had positive side effects.
The patients undergoing chemotherapy and taking the aloe vera at the same time did not experience the usual chemotherapy side effects.
On the contrary, their physical pain was relieved.
Plus, numb fingers and chemotherapy, which are common for people in this phase, were not part of their recovery process.
Chemotherapy itself has some side effects that are not that positive.
There is a great number of patients who due to the radiation exposure, come to suffer from radiation-induced dermatitis.
It is a skin condition, which is caused by radiation and which leads to direct tissue injury.
This can ultimately lead to inflammations of any sort.
However, aloe vera proved to treat dermatitis caused by radiation.
Aloe used as a lotion can fight dermatitis induced by radiation.
And the best part is yet to come.
Namely, the higher doses of radiation to which a patient was exposed, the better results.
This should come as no surprise because aloe vera’s capacity for skin relief is unmatched.
Besides the fact that aloe can step up in the battle against skin cancer, breast cancer is another type that aloe vera can prevent.
According to a new study, aloe-emodin, a compound in aloe vera leaves, can slow down the spreading of breast cancer cells.
