Question 1

is raw aloe vera jel is 100% safe for taking   orally  every day for controlling blood sugar level?

Accepted Answer

Extremely safe but..: I don't believe anything is "100% safe." one can die from drinking too much water and even excessive oxygen can be hazardous. Raw aloe vera gel is extremely safe but it is possible to be allergic to aloe, so i would not say it is 100% safe- but it is as safe or safer than any other drug or herb that treats diabetes. It can be very helpful- see http://www.Naturalnews.Com/021858_aloe_vera_gel.Html.
