Fifteen Centuries before the Birth of Christ, Egyptian writings acclaimed the miracle plant we know as Aloe Vera, even then referred to as an ancient cure. Cleopatra, Alexander the Great and Aristotle were fans of this strange succulent prized for its soothing, healing and analgesic ability. Indians in Central and South America used it to treat burns, kidney and bladder infections, dysentery, stomach and intestinal disorders. The pulp of the plant has been used to reduce swelling and pain from injuries, while in Mexico it's used to treat arthritis and gout. For many years people have kept aloe plants around for emergency burns. George's took a good look at this fascinating botanical wonder. Of the 200 plus varieties, they quickly found that only five or six fit the enzymatic structure for the cosmetic and so-called "medicinal properties" mentioned. Then while they were studying these succulents in their natural desert setting, the little "Beep-beep" bird from the Saturday cartoons scooted across a Mexican road and changed our lives. What got their attention was not the fact that the roadrunner drank from the juice of the Aloe Vera - but that it passed up many plants to get to a particular one, Aloe Barbadensis Miller. They studied acre after acre and found the roadrunner "peck marks" only on one particular species. The other aloe were untouched. Their lab found that, indeed it had much different gel than other aloes. The Products now labeled as George's Always Active Aloe are exclusively from Aloe Barbadensis Miller, the Roadrunners' choice.
