This small book teaches how to treat cancer and other diseases, practically and inexpensively, without being subjected to mutilation or using pharmaceutical drugs, without side effects, and without having to leave home. – Father Romano Zago Father Romano Zago, OFM, was born in Lajeado (RS) Brazil on August 11, 1932. He was ordained a Franciscan Friar in 1958 after having studied philosophy and theology. In 1971, he received a degree in literature and foreign languages (Latin, Portuguese, French and Spanish) from the faculty of literature at Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul. In 1988, while presiding at the San Antonio parish in Pouso Novo (RS) Brazil, he learned from local natives about a potent all-natural Aloe arborescens recipe they use for curing cancer. He began to test it with the chronically ill. It was here he first observed the positive results obtained with nutrition against advanced disease states. Afterwards, he was sent to Jerusalem and Italy, where he continued to see great success in the chronically ill being cured when he recommended they try this recipe made with the whole leaf of the native Aloe arborescens plant. This inspired him to devote his life to research and education on Aloe and the recipe that has been published in three books he has written. At the request of many people and organizations, he has given lectures and conferences in Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, France, Italy and Brazil about the ability of the human body to heal and regulate itself when supplied with the cell-required concentrated micronutrients found in the polysaccharides (complex sugar molecules) of this Aloe plant species and the recipe. “Aloe isn’t medicine and yet…it Cures!” is another book by Father Romano Zago that continues the story of the Brazilian recipe with Aloe arborescens that is told in this book, “Cancer Can Be Cured,” which includes an appendix titled “The Scientific Monographic History of Aloe Vera and Aloe Arborescens.” In “Aloe isn’t medicine and yet…it Cures”, Father Zago explains how the abundant supply of herbal therapeutic and medicinal properties of Aloe arborescens restores the immune system so the cells and organs of the body can regain their normal functioning. He indicates, in simple practice, how to use the plant recipe to detoxify the whole body and boost the immune system to fight over 100 types of illnesses, including diabetes, depression and obesity. Aloe arborescens is cultivated in regions of Brazil, Africa and the Mediterranean, but not North America.

The method we propose is contained in this work that I benevolently present to you to read. I do not consider myself the creator of the recipe. Nor do I wish to appear as the pioneer, or the first to have used this recipe with positive results. This would not be true. Long before me, there were others who could claim this right. This book is merely intended to publicize this method, which has proven effective on many occasions. If I have any credit, it is for having divulged it. What is written in these unpretentious pages is merely the record of a procedure that has given positive results, a procedure used by myself and others who know the recipe and use it with great success. Why not use the suggestions provided here in your case? The procedure is simple and easily available. This recipe is inexpensive with no contraindications or negative side effects, targeted at alleviating the suffering of the sick and those directly or indirectly connected to them, who are sometimes helpless when faced with the enormity of the problem. If some people have been cured using this simple and inexpensive method, why should we not offer the same oppor- tunity to a great number of people? This is my goal. 10 Father Romano Zago, OFM I do not profess to offer a magic method. But, because of the importance of this method, I do not wish to keep it a secret or use it only for my own benefit. That would be selfish. The idea is to inform people of the existence of a recipe to cure cancer that has already been used, to offer a method accessible to all who are interested. The book explains how those who wish to can put this opportunity into practice. Moreover, I do not intend to set aside the commendable medical class or, even worse, to discredit all scientific studies carried out to solve the problem of cancer, this plague of the century. All research performed in the battle against this disease is worthy of great praise, wherever it comes from. All that has already been done and is still to be done to finally solve the problem continues to be valid and deserves our full support and consideration. We hope that continual development of these investigations will allow man to dominate this disease that has long been a source of anguish for mankind. Let us help one another in this common war; it affects us all and must involve us all. I wish to offer my modest collaboration to alleviate the atrocious suffering of man, so humiliated by the inevitability of surgical operations and those applications that disfigure him, this being the only treatment currently available in traditional medicine. I wish to spare those suffering from cancer from the dreadful consequences of radiotherapy, chemotherapy (a true assault on the body!) and other techniques of this nature. The system indicated here is a great deal cheaper, painless and Cancer Can Be Cured! 11 natural. The human body heals itself, and nutrition derived from the Aloe arborescens plant provides the resources to accomplish the work. People can use it from their own homes. The results are so satisfactory that people who have been healed, even those in the terminal phases of cancer, are able to return to their normal lives in two or three months, with even greater vigor and with a better quality of life, possibly because they are able to enjoy life once again after all had seemed irrevocably lost to them. I would like this recipe to be used along with all other methods, those already known and those still to be discovered, to form a united front to eliminate this fatal disease permanently from the face of the earth. The purpose of this book, in its simplicity and clarity, is to provide a sign for those having to combat terrible illnesses such as cancer and other degenerative diseases. Dear friend, if someone close to you has this dreadful disease and is undergoing the traditional treatments, offer them

  • Aloe Scientific Primer International Aloe Science Council
    The International Aloe Science Council Presents an Aloe Scientific Primer International Aloe Science Council Commonly Traded Aloe Species The plant Aloe spp. has long been utilized in a variety of ways throughout history, which has been well documented elsewhere and need not be recounted in detail here, particularly as the purpose of this document is to discuss current and commonly traded aloe species. Aloe, in its various species, can presently and in the recent past be found in use as a decorative element in homes and gardens, in the creation of pharmaceuticals, in wound care products such as burn ointment, sunburn protectant and similar applications, in cosmetics, and as a food, dietary supplements and other health and nutrition related items. Recently, various species of the plant have even been used to weave into clothing and in mattresses. Those species of Aloe commonly used in commerce today can be divided into three primary categories: those used primarily in the production of crude drugs, those used primarily for decorative purposes, and those used in health, nutritional and related products. For reference purposes, this paper will outline the primary species and their uses, but will focus on the species most widely used in commerce for health, nutritional, cosmetic and supplement products, such as aloe vera. Components of aloe vera currently used in commerce The Aloe plant, and in particular aloe vera, has three distinct raw material components that are processed and found in manufactured goods: leaf juice; inner leaf juice; and aloe latex. A great deal of confusion regarding the terminology of this botanical and its components has been identified, mostly because of a lack of clear definitions, marketing, and other factors.

  • Contributions to the Systematics and Biocultural Value of Aloe L
    SUMMARY Contributions to the systematics and biocultural value of Aloe L. (Asphodelaceae) Olwen Megan Grace Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree PHILOSOPHIAE DOCTOR in the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (Department of Plant Science) University of Pretoria March 2009 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. A. E. van Wyk Co-Supervisor: Prof. Dr. G. F. Smith This thesis focuses on the biocultural value of Aloe L. (Asphodelaceae), the influence of utility on taxonomic complexity and conservation concern, and the systematics and phylogeny of section Pictae, the spotted or maculate group. The first comprehensive ethnobotanical study of Aloe (excluding the cultivated A. vera) was undertaken using the literature as a surrogate for data gathered by interview methods. Over 1400 use records representing 173 species were gathered, the majority (74%) of which described medicinal uses, including species used for natural products such as A. ferox Mill. and A. perryi Baker. In southern Africa, 53% of approximately 120 Aloe species in the region are used for health and wellbeing. Homogeneity in the literature was quantified using consensus analysis; consensus ratios showed that, overall, uses of Aloe spp. for medicine and invertebrate pest control are of the greatest biocultural importance. The rich ethnobotanical history and contemporary value of Aloe substantiate the need for conservation to mitigate the risks of exploitation and habitat loss. A systematic evaluation of the problematic maculate species complex, section Pictae Salm-Dyck, was undertaken. In a phylogenetic study, new sequences were acquired of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS), chloroplast trnL intron, trnL–F spacer 131 and matK gene in 29 maculate species of Aloe .

  • Planting a Dry Rock Garden in Miam1
    Succulents in Miam i-D ade: Planting a D ry Rock Garden John McLaughlin1 Introduction The aim of this publication is twofold: to promote the use of succulent and semi-succulent plants in Miami-Dade landscapes, and the construction of a modified rock garden (dry rock garden) as a means of achieving this goal. Plants that have evolved tactics for surviving in areas of low rainfall are collectively known as xerophytes. Succulents are probably the best known of such plants, all of them having in common tissues adapted to storing/conserving water (swollen stems, thickened roots, or fleshy and waxy/hairy leaves). Many succulent plants have evolved metabolic pathways that serve to reduce water loss. Whereas most plants release carbon dioxide (CO2) at night (produced as an end product of respiration), many succulents chemically ‘fix’ CO2 in the form of malic acid. During daylight this fixed CO2 is used to form carbohydrates through photosynthesis. This reduces the need for external (free) CO2, enabling the plant to close specialized pores (stomata) that control gas exchange. With the stomata closed water loss due to transpiration is greatly reduced. Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), as this metabolic sequence is known, is not as productive as normal plant metabolism and is one reason many succulents are slow growing. Apart from cacti there are thirty to forty other plant families that contain succulents, with those of most horticultural interest being found in the Agavaceae, Asphodelaceae (= Aloacaeae), Apocynaceae (now including asclepids), Aizoaceae, Crassulaceae, Euphorbiaceae and scattered in other families such as the Passifloraceae, Pedaliaceae, Bromeliaceae and Liliaceae.
