Aloe vera juice?

(Previously posted to alt.support.cancer.breast but didn't get any
responses.)

Almost a year after finishing chemo, my hair still hasn't grown back
properly. It's extremely thin with bald
spots on top. I suspect Arimidex, the estrogen blocker I take, may be
contributing to this problem, but maybe I would have it anyhow. Asked
oncologist if I could take minoxidil and she laughed and said no, it
probably wouldn't help me.

Anyhow, another patient, a Korean-American woman, told me that in her
culture they drink aloe vera juice to make hair thicker. One glass a day.
She said it worked for her after chemo, and she certainly had a terrific
head of hair.

She said I could get it at the Korean supermarket (there are a few of them
around here).

Well, I'm pretty desperate, but the thought of drinking aloe vera juice
kind of grosses me out. Anyone here ever heard of this remedy? If it
really works, I'll hold my nose and do it.

Thanx Eva
