This has to be the most absurd take on one of the most healthiest juices on the planet. Good tastes does NOT correlate to bad health. This show is a BUST.

[chrisstephens]

This video had no information and was a waste of time.

[josephsoto]

So they literally did about 0 research and said its a bust due to taste?.... Are we sure they're even drs?? Waste of time

[JodiesWay]

I can’t believe she sat there and said consuming aloe Vera is a bust, probably the same person that’s prescribing deadly medications to people, if I didn’t know any better I’d probably believe her lol. That’s insane!!!!

[jaydejewel]

It’s not in the interest of the doctors to recommend plants, they cannot capitalize on that. They get bonuses for selling prescriptions which then have side effects and they keep you coming back. But buy quality Aloe, expensive doesn’t always translate into quality.

I've been drinking aloe vera juice for 15 years for chron's disease and it has helped a lot more than the medications I took for it. It does help with acid reflux too.

“Because I’m a doctor I don’t need any research on any herbal remedy before I make a judgment. I simply have to taste it and I know everything about it. “

[dauseanadoingme]

I drink it every morning. It cleared my skin and tone. And I lost my pudgy stomach. I live by this beverage

[steveaguinaga]

"Doctors" having casual uneducated conversation on products they know nothing about. 🙄

[TheLionheartCenter]

There are SO MANY health benefits to this superfood. Did they do any research before making this segment or they're just guessing?

[lexiegrl]

Of course since she's a dermatologist she wouldn't want to loose money that's why she is against it.

I used to drink this 3 times a day with meals and not only was I far healthier, but I lost weight easier too. Also, it cleans out the villi in the intestines, which promotes absorption of nutrients. It also helps heal the body from the inside out. I'm getting back into this again ASAP. It may not taste too good, but it's health benefits are far more important than that.

[LeesaGio]

Aloe vera juice has healed my digestive tract... Also, my stage 3 lymphoma went into remission after 6 years, when I started drinking aloe vera juice. But, who am I to say? haha...not an MD myself.

[TooMuchTemper]

It dont even taste bad people. And aloe vera is not expensive, plus this video is very under educating.

[jacobgraves]

A sinus infection made my throat so raw and swollen it hurt to drink water. I'm 26 years old and so it was very disheartening to not be able to eat, the medicine I got at the hospital helped very little. Because of aloe vera I have been able to eat again without pain .

[patdear]

I drink aloe vera drink everyday with lemon & cucumber & a dash of apple cider vinegar, I'm moistened from the inside out, I dont have to use creams on my skin, & my hair is strong & moist, I never have a dry mouth, aloevera is a amazing plant, I couldnt live with out it

[cnleiva]

I grow tons of it, and it’s packed with vitamins, aminos, and enzymes. I eat it raw and it makes you feel so good.

[shamarryan]

The more I watch certain episodes of this show, I become a bit more inclined to think that it's becoming a circus act instead of an educational program that people could actually reap benefits from Smh extremely disappointing

[solargod]

I really don’t understand this show . They show is called “The Doctors” for a reason but they said negative things to good things even though it taste bad . Suck up the 3 second taste like a man/women. Your tongues are too spoiled with sugar, salt, and oil.

[villesanti]

This stuff is amazing. It literally took away my acid reflux, something pills couldn't.
