here is an excellent site on aloe vera: http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/alt/aloe_faq.htm specifically on the topic of an overdosage: "Overdose/long term usage can cause loss of electrolytes (potassium, albuminuria, and hematuria) and fluid imbalance. Loss of electrolytes may cause hyperaldosteronism, inhibition of intestinal motility, and the enhancement of cardioactive steroid. Potassium deficiency can lead to muscular weakness, especially with concurrent use of cardiac glycosides, diuretics, and corticosteroids. Overdose can also cause heart arrhythmias, nephropathies, edemas, accelerated bone deterioration. albuminuria and hematuria. (but these side effects are rare) Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (stop usage and report it to your health care professional if they are continuing or bothersome): A red color may occur in urine (harmless and usually goes away when usage s.o.s. Intestinal cramps (if this occurs immediately lower the dosage)"
