Aloe uses
Some uses of Aloe found on http://www.hepatitiscfree.com/aloe_vera_book.htm · They become incorporated into the cellular membrane and make the cell more resistant to viruses and pathogenic bacteria. |
· They improve overall cellular metabolism and functioning. |
· They have anti-inflammatory properties. |
· They provide critical lubrication of joints; helping to prevent arthritis and to heal it once it has developed. |
· They aid in the absorption of water, minerals, and nutrients in the GI track. |
· They improve macrophage (white blood cells) activity making them up to ten times more effective in engulfing foreign matter. |
· They enhance the macrophage's effectiveness in modulating the entire immune system. |
· They enhance the macrophage's effectiveness to stimulate and direct the production and release of antibodies (increasing the body's own production of interferon, interleukins and more). |
· They increase the number of antibody forming T-cells in the spleen and increase the number and activity of killer T-cell and monocyte activity. |
· They are responsible for aloe's special penetration properties. |
· In conjunction with their cellular detoxification support and immune enhancement, they improve allergic reactions. |

· They stimulate the fibroblasts to release collagen and elastin to make new tissue (inside and out). |

Cool Band-aids





Band-aid Form
This is the same form I created using tuck tape, but they are now made from made band-aids. The top image is the beginning of a bracelet and the bottom of a broach. The use of the band-aids ties back to my theme of health and healing. Because the form resembles a flower of some sort, it was suggested that I find a flower that is used for healing and create it out of band aids, thus even further pushing my overall idea.
After looking at Nolke work I might even try casting or recreating these forms in metal. These forms could potentially be a serious of pieces, some band aid material some metal.
