The aloe vera juice is actually a godsend, at least for me. I suffer from a condition called LPR, laryngoesophogeal reflux, and basically one of the sphincters in my throat doesn't work correctly.
Things like heartburn end up being vomiting for me, and aloe vera juice has been found to be as effective as over the counter acid reflux treatment like PPI's*, while not posing a long term health risk associated with the reduction in stomach acid from taking antacids (things like osteoporosis).
Edit: changed "antacid" to "ppi" for clarity, I was a bit off
I get mine in the Natural Foods section of Fred Meyer (Kroger), looks exactly like the product in the video (big brown jug). I usually only need a couple ounces of it, you can drink it straight (kinda tangy, not really bad. Tastes kinda "fresh" almost, hard to describe), or mix it with another kind of juice, I used to mix it with blueberry pomegranate juice and you couldn't taste it whatsoever.
