great way to detox your liver and intestinal tract is to eat the fresh gel of an aloe vera leaf once a day. To prepare it, cut off a four-inch section of the aloe leaf. (That’s if it’s large, as store-bought aloe often is. If you’re using a homegrown aloe plant, it will likely have smaller, skinnier leaves, so cut off more.) Fillet the leaf as if it were a fish, trimming away the green skin and spikes. Scoop out the clear gel, taking care not to include any from the bitter base of the leaf. Blend it into a smoothie or eat as-is.
