Well, my father has been told his prostate is larger. He will get
another exam in 5 months to see if it is enlarging again. He told me
that Aloe Vera helps, but this is the first i've heard of it for
prostate.
I think rubbing it ON the prostate would be quite the challenge. I
guess you could use a BIG needle and sort of baste it on there. It
might hurt, just a biopsy needle was uncomfortable for me. But as IP
said.....who knows?.....it might help.

=======> hi zcarenow - while i can understand what your father said,
and the reason to ask this question here, i would like to tell you
something about MY father.
he used DMSO - a cleaning solvent - and would rub it on his knees to
relieve the pain. said it helps, but made his kidneys work. DMSO is
known to be absorbed through the skin is not recommended by the medical
professionals, yet, my dad would make claims by it.
when he had his hip replaced, he ask the surgeon about his knee pain.
the surgeon told him that his knee pain would go away when the hip is
replaced because it was the source of his his knee pain. when the hip
was replaced, his knee stopped hurting.
when he developed prostrate cancer, he said, "cancer doesn't hurt" and
ended up for the last two years of his life in severe pain. he was
always the "tough guy" in real life and now, he is whining and crying
like a baby and saying, "i was wrong - cancer does hurt"
he died FROM prostate cancer.
as i went through his house after his death, i found various products
that had made claims to help or cure prostate cancer. we are talking
about enough empty bottles that would fill a brown grocery bag. i
would estimate that he spent 10's of thousands of dollars on this fake
stuff.
i've actively studied prostate cancer for about 15 years now. there
are a ton of things out there that everyone claims to work..... but
don't. it's sad to see men get hoodwinked for billions of dollars on
bogus products instead of getting a treatment that could have saved
their lives if they had only acted on it when it was in the curable
stage.
these people that are selling quack products ought to be held
accountable for what they are doing because it is not a vitcimless
crime. their actions hurt families and kill people while they make
money off of the victim.
so with all of this said, here's the bottom line.
1. it is a KNOWN medical fact that the prostate grows twice in the male
body. in the teenager years and continually after age 25. so, yes,
your father's prostate is not going to get smaller, but will grow until
he passes on, but all of us are in the same boat that still have a
prostate.
2. it is a KNOWN fact that as men age, things go wrong with the
prostate gland. the general rule of thumb is that whatever the age of
the male is the approximate % of the males having prostate problems. so
a 60 year man has a 60% chance that he may have prostate problems.
3. Aloe Vera is not FDA approved. my question back to you is how do you
put something into your body that is SO STRONG enough to cause a great
tissue altering change that goes against mother nature and not cause the
human body to go into shock and require medical treatment. just look at
the young people who OD'ed on drugs........ and how many die because of
their actions. yet, there are people out there who are willing, taking
stuff that quacks are selling, without any kind of supervision, and
think that it's not going to hurt....
well, i've been down that road before.
wish you the best,

Thanks Palmer. Very good informative insight into this. You're the kind
of person that i was hoping to respond with your personal experience
about prostate and knowledge. I had to question my father's info on why
he was told that Aloe Vera would help his prostate since i've never
heard anything on the news about its benefits for the prostate.
