aloe etc (topical avoids)
Heidi addressed topical avoids recently in her “On The Diet” column:
Topical Avoids?
I am an O+ secretor. This question may seem a bit granular, but I don’t want
to sabotage my good diet efforts by doing something unknowingly. My question
is about foot cream. I just purchased a foot cream which is 60% aloe. It
really is a great cream but, my understanding is, aloe is an avoid for O. In
thinking about it, I started to be concerned if the aloe from the cream
would be absorbed into my body enough to cause problems (in light of hormone
and stop smoking dermal patches using the skin as a delivery system.) Any
thoughts? P.S. Kudos for your column. It’s the first thing I check every
morning and has been so very helpful. ~ debra

Whew! I use a 95+% aloe gel on my skin almost daily. I’ve never had
an adverse reaction. I was hoping along the lines Heidi stated.
