Testimonial - Lupus

I am a wife, mother, home-schooler of my 15-year-old son, Jonathan, and I also enjoy my volunteer work. I am in my late 40's but I feel better than I did in my 20's, and I would like to tell you how Noni Juice from Tahiti turned back the hands of time for me.
About 16 years ago, I was diagnosed with systemic lupus. I went through a summer following my doctor's directions to the letter, and by September, he announced to me that I was in remission. I stayed in remission for over a decade until I was involved in an automobile accident with an 18-wheeler. I was greatly blessed not to have any external injuries, but the stress of this huge truck shoving my little car out of my lane was more than this Lupus patient could stand, since stress can easily trigger a crisis and it did.
I began a downward spiral into overall degeneration of my body. There was not a spot on me that did not hurt. The first thing I noticed was the painful Butterfly rash on my cheeks, and that even clear water caused me a painful, burning sensation. My doctor, who is also my friend (we have enjoyed a great doctor/patient relationship for over 20 years) and a super intelligent Internist, tried everything to get me going again. Among other things, he used Methotrexate, Steroids, and Physical Therapy, as well as some of the newest and best medications on the market to help alleviate some of mysuffering but to no avail. Once I went to him in such excruciating pain that he gave me seven (7) injections of pain medication directly into the areas I pointed to - and it took me a full 3½ days before I could even tell I had had any pain killer at all! It wasn't long after that that he told me. " He did not know what else to do for me". Because of our long friendship, I believed him, and knew that had he known of anything else, he would have made it available to me. My friend had basically sent me home to die.
At that time, my hands (when held up before my face) were so swollen with no space between my fingers - that they looked like baseball mitts. My feet looked like a football stuffed inside of a flat shoe. I was in excruciating pain from my neck to my toes. Every joint hurt me. I was so stiff and in such pain that I walked like my 67 year old mother - I had to have assistance to get up from my chair. My sons had to assist me to use the restroom my knees did not work. I have fallen down my stairs 3 times over the past four years because my joints locked up. My husband informed me last November that I used to wake up crying out in the night because I evidently had reached another level of joint pain that I was unaware of during the day. He would have to rub to apply heat to my elbows, ankles, knees, wrists, back -wherever he thought I was in pain because I was totally unaware - even to this day of ever waking up crying at night because of my chronic Lupus pain 24 hours a day seven days a week without a break.
I live in a tri-level home, so I made one trip down in the morning and one trip up at night to go to bed. If I did any more than that, I was in bed for 2 days to build myself back up to my 2 hours of energy per day out of the 24. I lived my life in my lounge chair downstairs. If I had any business to attend to outside of my home, I had to rest until time to go, then come back home and either sleep in my chair or go to bed until the next day. Grocery shopping was a chore. If I bought the groceries, I was unable to bring them in the house; and if I got them into the house, I had to leave them on the floor until my children came home from school and put my groceries away.
Photo sensitivity made the sunshine my enemy. To protect my skin from the sun, I had to wear gloves on my hands to drive, a hat or a scarf to keepthe sun off my head or face, long sleeves even in the Summer, and sunscreen. I became a Moon child because I could not go out on beautiful sunshiny days. In late January, 2000, my daughter-in-law's father, John, who has Multiple Sclerosis, called me to tell me that because of this Noni Juice he was feeling much better and offered to send me some. I accepted and received the box about the last week of January. I looked at this Purplestuff that so resembled prune juice (which I dislike intensely) and I didn't take it right away. But then something hit me John was feeling better, and I knew he was on the verge of death what was my problem - I had better drink this juice. So February 1, I took my first tablespoon. I called John to see how much he was drinking, because he had felt better in three weeks. He told me 3 oz. three times per day. I did the same. By day five, I had so much energy I did not know what to do with myself! I was like that Pink Bunny with the drum I kept going and going and going!!!! By the time 6 weeks had passed, I was dancing the cha cha cha with my 15 year old in high heel shoes. That is 2 major milestones for me. I hadn'tbeen able to dance in years, let alone the cha cha cha but now I was wearing high heel shoes, and I hadn't worn heels much over the past 5 years because of the pain in my legs and back!
About two weeks later, I went for my annual checkup. My doctor was amazed when he found out that I was 98-99% pain-free! Amazed that I wasgetting all of this from a juice! He was amazed at my blood pressure. He said it was the best it had been in years! He took me off two of the three pills I was on, and told me that if I kept this up, I would soon not need any blood pressure medication at all! My doctor was so amazed at me that he went to the computer after completing my examination, and began to pull page after page of information off the Internet! The first sheet he pulled off was the research done by Dr. Anna Hirazuma-Kim. He brings it to me and says take this to every doctor you talk to, this juice cures cancer! Even I didn't know that back in April!

Testimonial - Prostate Cancer

My name is Peter P., retired Nurseryman, 74 years young this 5th March, 2001. Having worked outdoors all of my life, always diet conscious (mostly vegetarian), taking plenty of exercise, I regarded myself as reasonably fit and healthy. That was until March 1998 when I was diagnosed as having Cancer of the Prostate. Needless to say, I was devastated, and I have spent the last three years fighting the Big “C”.

On January 10 ,2001, I was told about Noni Juice by a friend who had tried it and found it had helped him with liver spots and arthritis. Two days later I purchased my first 1 litre bottle and began taking 30mls three times daily. I did this for 3 days, then increased my intake to 60mls twice daily. After only 12 days I noticed distinct changes in my body, and after 4 weeks noticed the following:-

a) I no longer had to go to the bathroom 6-7 times nightly
b) A persistent cough and a tendency to asthma went away, as did a large solar keratosis from the top of my left hand
c) Best of all – a blood test for P.S.A. (Prostatic Specific Antigens) had lowered reading from 61.8 to just 7.1 (this is only after 4 weeks taking the juice).

My treatment regimen may also have helped with the above happenings, but never before did I have such good results. I now await further blood tests but I already feel so full of new found energy and general well being, that I am confident that my old enemy (Cancer) will be in complete remission.

According to the books I read, Noni Juice from Tahiti works on the whole body at a cellular level, normalising errant cells and promoting well being. Being an organic natural juice, Noni juice did not clash with any of the other 17 products I was taking regularly. At the time of writing, I have been taking Noni Juice for 6 weeks and am abandoning all of the other costly substances, as I no longer need them.

I commend Noni Juice from Tahiti to any of you reading this, should you suffer pain or discomfort.

Testimonial - Pagets Disease

I suffer from Paget’s Disease, and have blood tests taken every 6 months. Paget’s Disease the second most common bone affliction after osteoporosis.

For a number of years I experienced sciatica down my left leg and eventually it prevented me from playing golf and tennis, dancing and so on. It became so bad that I could not walk to the next block without feeling a lot of pain. I had to sit down to ease the pain – that was just too easy.

I trialed acupuncture, electropuncture, physiotherapy including deep therapy, but nothing worked.

Then a friend suggested that I trial Noni Juice. What did I have to lose? I started to drink it in January 2002, and after about 7 weeks of this, I threw away all my prescription drugs.

My daughters sent me medical information regarding Paget’s Disease, and I learned that this disease can cause nerve compression. This was the cause of my sciatica.

In May 2002, my Serium Alkaline Phosphate(SAP) reading was down from 350 to 259, and I was back enjoying all the activities that I previously loved doing, and I had no pain. Wow!

During the period May 2002 to November, I tried another and cheaper brand of Noni Juice, but it was a mistake. I am now back onto my regular Noni Juice and all is well, and I am feeling great.

I would like to thank Beverly A. who introduced me to this excellent product. I have no arthritis pain, and my onset diabetes is well under control.

Testimonial-Prostate Cancer plus arthritis and angina

“MY BIG SCARE”---“NONI DID IT AGAIN”I was released from hospital 02/02 /2004 with no hope of survival, as I had cancer right through my bones with numerous hot spots throughout my body. My PSA cancer reading was 1139 which is very high, a reading of 4 is considered normal. My wife Robyn took a month off work and we spent most of our time at our beach home. Here the sea air helped change my attitude and I found it invigorating and trying to find ways of survival. (No operation, no radiotherapy and no chemotherapy because condition was too advanced.) I was pale and jaundiced, my next door neighbour asked me what was wrong, and when I told him I’d been given a death sentence, that there was nothing the medicos could do for me, he was shocked and told me to go to Bob Reid’s at Bob’s Farm, as he had a product that would help my cause. I was skeptical, thinking if doctors could not help me then who could?

Bob was convincing but I still had my doubts, he handed me three Noni web sites and after a few hours reading about the benefits of Noni juice I became convinced that this product would help my cancer. Next day I was back at Bob’s place and purchased my Noni, - thank God, because this was my lifeline. Prior to starting on the Noni juice, I was taking several tablets plus morphine including six herbal tablets per day, which my tennis mate and herbalist tried to convince me was the best thing to do. With all these toxins and herbal tablets in my stomach it left me with a terrible feeling, but with my first sip of Noni, all this awful feeling went away, which started to give me confidence in Noni and I stopped taking all the tablets instantly. However, going ‘cold turkey’ especially with morphine, which is addictive, I found it hard to stop. I was going out of my mind. A friend told me to go back on the morphine and wean myself gradually, and after a week I was happy to have so successfully.

About a week later I saw my GP and told him that I was off my tablets and feeling a lot better, thanks to Noni juice, and that I had regained my energy and a bit of strength. He said you better go and see your Urologist and get his opinion.Next week I saw my Urologist and he said I was looking much better than when he saw me in hospital and if I was in any pain, to go back on to my tablets and morphine. He asked me to come back in a month with a new PSA reading and then go to my GP and have a Lucrene Hormone needle which helps control my testosterone. . I returned with my PSA reading of 4.5, and when he looked at it, he seemed to think it was a mistake and asked me to return with another reading in a month’s time, which I did. This time the PSA reading was 4, and he said that I had had a “miraculous recovery”. At this point I said ‘yes, thanks to Noni juice’, and he completely ignored me and kept on writing, and said ‘you’re doing very well, from here on, you will need to have 4 monthly visits. As it happened, each time I returned the PSA readings went from 2.25, to 2.50, and then to 1.2. At this stage I asked my GP if I could stop taking my 4 monthly hormone needle, but he said ‘I know you have a lot of confidence in Noni juice and possibly the two are helping each other, but believe me without the hormone needle which controls your testosterone level and with the amount of tennis you play (4 to 5 times a week), you are increasing you levels of testosterone, so I advise you to continue having the 4 monthly injection’.I decided to check out what the GP said about testosterone levels, so I looked it up on the web and found he was partially right, so in my wisdom I decreased my Noni intake by half to 30mil a day, giving my GP the benefit of the doubt - big mistake! “MY BIG SCARE” My previous PSA reading was 1.2, However in June 2005 it had risen to 9.2. My Urologist said,’ your cancer has flared up, the hormone needle is not working, come back in three months time with a nuclear bone scan, as there is nothing out there to help you yet, except maybe chemo after I’ve had a look at the x-rays (bone scan)’, then he also said that I had a very very nasty cancer (originally), but in 6 months time it could be very seriousI was completely devastated and I drove home in a daze, and started having negative thoughts. My family and friends rallied around me and convinced me that I beat the cancer the last time and that I could do it again. It was very supportive and I started looking on the bright side again and began to think positive thoughts, as it was my only hope.I increased my Noni juice intake to 90 mils a day. After a few days I decided to get another opinion, I did not want to wait a further 5 months.I made an appointment with my GP to get a referral to see a second Cancer Specialist at the Mater Hospital, Newcastle. That very day I was given an appointment for the following week, and was told a nurse would ring me to discuss my cancer history and I would need to have my bone scan done before my appointment. “Bingo”, I got the ball rolling and found it hard to believe that I could make it all happen all within a week. When I saw the Specialist (Dr. R. North) the following week he had the results of the bone scan on his computer from John Hunter hospital, but the x-ray results would be there in a few days. He told me that there was no cancer in my bones but there were 3 hot spots. He told me to come back next week with a PSA and a Testosterone reading. & In the meantime he would look at the x-rays and let me know about the 3 hot spots. He told me not to worry, that they could be old scars (operation) or injuries (OA of knee and rib injury) and if they were cancerous they could be controlled with chemo. What a relief to know I was free of cancer in the bones. It was a joyous moment and I was ready to jump over the moon, and so pleased to know that I’ll be around for a while yet. NONI DID IT AGAIN Next appointment my results were very impressive, the testosterone level was at 0.1,which proved the Lucrene hormone needle was working, and negates any increase in testosterone so I could play as much tennis as I liked without any effects. On the x-rays it was impossible to tell what the hot spots were, but the Specialist said he’d keep an eye on the situation. The best result was my PSA reading at 5.5 from 9.2 two weeks earlier, after increasing my dosage of Noni juice from 30 to 90 mil a day. It restored my belief in Noni and proved to me that I should never have doubted this incredible product ­ “NONI DID IT ONCE AGAIN”­ I’m having another reading of PSA in 6 weeks and I’m certain it will be back to it’s former reading of 1.2 reading. (He is still receiving Lucrene injection regularly) 20/10/051. Hair regrowing2. Angina pain gone (play tennis 6-7 sets of tennis, 4-5 times a week)3. Arthritis pain almost gone (he also takes sea salts everyday for that.)4. Eye sight improved.

Kidney disease

I have been servicing my car at Ultratune in Fairfield for over three years. Some of you must think I must be "nuts" to go such a distance for a car service. Well George Torbay is the owner. He charges Bartercard for the service. Well three years down, he was gradually exposed to noni juice and the business. He was curious but never really got interested to the point of signing up. Some 5 weeks ago he phoned and order a case of juice. He stated, "it's for my dad, he is rather unwell". I have no contact with his father other than to enquire how he was going.

Guess what !George phoned again and ask for a second case, so I suggest he might as well sign up and I caught up with him next morning in his workshop. His father, Charlie was there to meet me and started to "tell his story" . He looked so good. He went on to tell me he is 56 years old, suffered with heart complaints, high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis and lastly was advised by his specialist that his kidneys are packing up and required kidney dialysis. Guess what, noni juice has reverse his kidney problems and he no longer needs to be worry about dialysis.

His specialist was curious what is this stuff he is drinking that makes such a phenomenal impact on his health status and has requested information. His blood pressure and his diabetes is now normalised. However he stated, "it has not really helped my arthritis". As Charlie was only drinking 30mls twice a day. I suggested he double the amount he drinks( and as you know, arthritis can certainly be helped with this "juice".!

Kidney disease

Well a friend of a friend requested a consultation with Dr. Williams. Her caring daughter and whole family turned up at our home to see Dr. Williams. This woman is 68 years old and given the life sentence that she would not live for longer then 6 weeks. Really she did not have anything to lose, she has multiple health challenges and was told by her specialist that her kidneys had completely failed and she would require dialysis. She refused and was content to die without medical intervention. Guess what! 6 weeks later on she is still living and her health status has improved significantly. Her kidneys are working. (All due to drinking the "juice")

Multiple Sclerosis testimonial

Many people ask Lee and I how we cope with a job and my councillor duties.

We have been taking this Noni juice for over 5 years now and we can attest to its value for our current lifestyle.

My younger brother introduced it to us when he was diagnosed with the severe MS. He was in Ryde Rehab hospital for about 2 months , was very ill, couldn't eat or drink without losing it and eventually could not eat through the mouth, suffered severe headache and eyesight pain. He was introduced to the juice in that hospital (through the navel) and within two weeks was able to resume normal life. The plaque affecting his brain is slowly dissolving and he certainly had his specialist mystified, who wanted to put him on the highest level of anti MS drugs. He works part time now and does a lot of mission work in Australia and Indonesia. He lives a full and active life. You may even see him preaching on the sidewalk in Chatswood. (He is very grateful to God for giving him back his life)

Arthritis and Pain

Q. I am writing to you about a customer, who is the mother of a dear friend of my parents.
Laura is 85 years old, and has suffered with Osteo Arthritis in her back, and Rheumatoid Arthritis in her hands for about 50 years. Laura also has a pacemaker.

She has been taking 60 mls of Noni Juice before breakfast and before dinner (120 mls daily) for 11 weeks now. She is sleeping a little better in the early stages of sleep, however, wakes at 3 am in extreme pain, and is unable to get back to sleep. To date she has felt no relief from her pain symptoms.

She suffers with chronic pain particularly in her spine. She is bent over, and favours her right hand side. It is extremely painful for her to stand up straight, and to walk, and because of this she is quite house bound and does no exercise apart from her basic household duties. She lives alone and is a pensioner.

Laura is also taking Glucosamine, and Fish Oil. She does not like to take pain killers.

She is very positive, and is willing to persevere with the Noni juice. I would really appreciate any advice that may give her some hope for the relief of her pain in the future.

Thank you so much for your consideration in this matter.

A. Tell her to take 250 mls Noni Juice daily until the pain subsides then reduce it slowly to where the pain is managed. I hope this helps. Also lots of water (at least 2L/day if she can get it down.)

Hashimoto's Disease, Sleep, Hiatus Hernia and Low Blood Pressure

Q. I have a customer who appears to be having a reaction to the juice, and I would appreciate your advice. This lady is 45 years old. She has had Hashimotos Disease since 1989. For this she takes Pig Replacement Thyroid, 1 and a half grain capsule twice daily. After the birth of her her fourth child in 1997, she haemorrhaged, and since then has suffered from low blood pressure.
She has a recently dignosed hiatus hernia, and for this was taking Nexium 40 mg/day. She has stopped taking this however the symptoms since starting the juice have continued.
This lady has been taking noni juice for 8 weeks. She started with 60 mls twice a day. This caused her severe headaches with some nausea and diarrhea. She cut back to 30 mls twice daily, and the symptoms were less severe however, still persist. She is sleeping well, however wakes at 4-30am and can not return to sleep. She is depleted of energy, and finds it very hard to function normally with these symptoms. She is a healthy eater, and is of normal weight.
This month she has had an unusually heavy period with headaches and sore breasts.
She has been seeing a Classical Homeopath for 4 years. I would appreciate any advice you can offer.
Many thanks.

A. Firstly your lady needs to make up the following drink by Dr. Williams and drink it four times daily for a week then once a day or more often if needed. 1L water + 1/2 heaped teaspoon of “Lite” Salt (it has more potassium than sodium – see the side of the bottle) + ¼ teaspoon cooking salt (no aluminium) + juice of 1.2 lemon. She needs to drink this to raise her blood volume – this will greatly help her blood volume. It will take about 3 days. She needs to stay on her thyroxin tablets and continue taking the noni juice – if she persists with the juice she may find over a long period of time (years) that the thyroid will not get any worse (as has been reported by others) and this is a great benefit. The sore breasts etc. may be just the hormones adjusting and I would strongly advice her to use the wild yam cream to help regulate the high estrogen levels. I would suggest if she is suffering from depression (not mentioned here – but the lack of energy may be partly that) then she buy Dr. Vera’s S.A.D. which is a tryptophan (amino acid) formulation and take ½ teaspoon in the morning and ½ teaspoon at night in water or juice. As for the hiatus hernia she needs to follow the advice of no coffee and reduced spicy foods especially at night.

You can tell her that I had all of these problems (except the hernia) and this is how it worked for me. I still have Hashimoto’s and for the last 7 years I haven’t had to have my medication raised at all.

Testimonial - Dog

I am writing this testimonial on behalf of my 14 year-old bearded collie name of Brutus.
This testimony starts in May 1999 when the vet advised us that Brutus had to have one of his testies removed. We were very unhappy about this but that was not the worst news. After the operation, we were told that Brutus also had contracted cancer.
In November 1999, my wife and I travelled to Australia to stay with friends, in the Port Stephens area of NSW. They were very thrilled about a natural health product from which they were receiving wondrous results, and so we decided to purchase some and returned home to New Zealand with it.
Brutus was given 1 teaspoon of Noni Juice on his meat daily.
Before long he was noticeably more active, and obviously the pain in his joints began to disappear.
The best news was when the vet reported that the cancerous lumps had disappeared.
In June 2000, his eyes started to cloud over and once again we gave him Noni Juice until his eyes cleared and very obviously his eyesight improved.
Even his white hair is being replaced by new growth full colour gray hair.
Our Brutus is like a 5-year old and we are very grateful to Noni Juice.

Testimonial - Pain, anxiety etc

Eighteen months ago I made a decision to trial Noni Juice, as I suffered from chronic back pain, and also leg pain, that made travelling an unpleasant experience. Initially I drank 30mls per day, and then I increased the amount to 30mls twice daily, which is what I drink today.

There have been so many benefits that happened gradually over the months that I am amazed. The pain is no longer there, and for this I just thank the Lord. My skin was mostly dry and flaky, but is now quite normal. The problem with the arthritis in my fingers is becoming less and less. Muscle tone, strength and energy have increased. Bones and nails are stronger and obviously my hair is much healthier.

As well, sunspots and small growths on my face and hands, and an ulcer, have all disappeared with using the Noni Juice topically.

My digestive problems have disappeared. Anxiety headaches are easier to control. Cuts and bruises heal in a third of the time. Insect stings no longer cause an allergic reaction and hurt very little.

I could make this list last forever, however the most amazing benefit from drinking the juice is with my eyesight, which has been completely restored after 12 months of drinking the juice. I did have macular degeneration. The optometrist has taken photos of my left eye, which show there is no sign of the former condition, nor is there any visible scarring.

My elderly mother who passed on this condition to me, was told on her last visit to her eye specialist, that her eyesight is improving, and she is very thankful for this. So far, she has taken only a very small amount of Noni Juice.

I wish to share this pure fruit juice with everyone.

Testimonial - Haemochromotosis

Being a 57-year-old Australian male, I very seldom visit my doctor. Not because he doesn't know his job, but because I hate to waste his time or mine.

Two years ago, my daughter was diagnosed with Haemochromotosis, (too much iron in the blood). This was discovered while undergoing tests for thyroid complaints. This was the first time I had heard of the disease. I also learned that the disease is hereditary and that her mother and brother had been tested and was clear. So father went off to be checked…sure enough…the culprit was Dad. In order to get my iron level down, I spent eight months giving weekly blood donations. My iron content is now kept within normal levels by quarterly blood donations to the Red Cross. In October 1999, I was involved in a vehicle accident (rollover), from which I was lucky enough to walk away, with a few minor scratches and bruises. However, from that point on I have suffered bouts of severe depression and mood swings. After six months of Arropax, and other drugs (which I hate taking), I stopped taking the drugs and took St John's Wort tablets for the depression and Valerian for sleep assistance.

In April this year, my wife, who is a noni juice distributor, was looking for a "Guinea Pig". She needed a person who had not taken noni juice before, to have a 'Live Blood Test', then drink four times the normal daily dose of noni for four weeks, and then have another 'Live Blood Test'. Well I was skeptical, but being a supportive husband, I volunteered. Prick the finger, smear the slide, under the microscope, and watch your blood on the screen… This is my blood…or should I say this was my blood: The white circles are red blood cells, which carry oxygen and other goodies around the body. The oxygen is carried on the surface of the blood cell (imagine the blood cell as a ping pong ball and the oxygen adheres to the surface). You can see many of my blood cells were stuck together, and where this is the case, there is no oxygen being carried on that surface which was joined to another blood cell. Therefore I had lower oxygen circulation than I should have had. This naturally was causing me to be tired and lacking in energy.

Four bottles and four weeks later…I was still skeptical. I didn't feel different, but having drunk the juice for four weeks, I should see if there was any difference. Prick the finger, smear the slide, under the microscope, and watch your blood on the screen… again! The difference: the little suckers wouldn't keep still, moving independently all over the screen. Then I started to think… more energy than before, not as tired, no depression or mood swings, sleeping better. This juice had to be doing something to make me feel so good. No more drugs, no more herbs… just juice. Then to top all that, my last three blood donations have shown my iron level is less each time I give my donation. I am convinced, and I hope you are.

Testimonial - Brain Cancer

In the fall of 2000, Don, age 52, developedGlioblastoma, a very aggressive but rare form of brain cancer. The lastwords he spoke were on 11-2-2000. He had multiple brain lesions and wassent home from the hospital on 12-12 and placed under Hospice care. Hewas takingDilantin to control his epileptic seizures; his last seizure was on12-5. His family was told he was stage 3 or 4 and there was no hope. He was ina coma and the Hospice nurse said before Christmas that he would not last 72 hours and that his wife should get the family there quickly.

Fortunately he lived long enough to try our noni juice. Flo Angeles spoke with Don's wife in January and told her about how well Noni juice worked. Flo and I spoke with her to explain that it was worth trying even though the medical doctor said there was no hope. When we challenged her that she had nothing to lose,she discussed it with Don's sister and they agreed to try it using the very aggressive formula that works for many cancer patients. The formula she tried to follow is explained at the end of this description. The time line is shown below so you can see Don's remarkable progress. The noni juice and a few drops of the noni extract were put into his feeding tube every hour. After a couple weeks his wife added another Extract.

Timeline (2001):
Approximately Jan. 2, 2001 the Hospice nurse said Don was unresponsiveand had no reflexes.
1-8: Don began Noni juice; he was given 1 oz. in feeding tube
1-9: Don was given 6 oz. today; (approx. 1oz. per serving)
1-10: Don was given 13 oz. today (this began regimen of approx. 1oz. perserving, every hour)
1-11: Don opened his eyes. 12 oz. total today
1-12: Don seemed to be trying to follow sound with his eyes. They wereable to stop medication for constipation. 32 oz. total today
1-13: Don was propped up while football game was on TV. He did not needpillows on either side to hold up his head as he usually did. He held his head off the pillow for a few minutes at a time to try to follow game. 28 oz. total today
1-15: 30 oz. a day yesterday and today
1-16: Noni decreased TNJ to approx. 16 oz. per day since his first 4 days of approximately a bottle a day was over.
1-18: Don is keeping his eyes open all day. He had a seizure and doctor agreed to check his Dilantin level because too high a level can cause a seizure.
1-19: He raised his eyebrows to answer that he would like to eat some ice cream. He was able to eat a bowl of ice cream. His Dilantin level was cut because it had been 35 when it should have been between 10 and20.
1-22: Hospice nurse said that Don was a different patient and wanted to know what had changed. She also was drinking noni juice but did not know what it is capable of doing. Don wiggles his toes and gives them a " Hi five" when asked. His wife increased juice to 20 oz. per day. It appears Don is trying to talk.
1-24: Beginning today, average daily amount consumed is 26 to 28 oz. per day.
See 1-28: for weekly progress summary.
1-28: Don repeatedly caught a ball thrown to him with his right hand (he had been left- handed but his left arm is not yet moving). He has been eating oatmeal, rice pudding, and a banana without problem. He spoke a few words and a few sentences. His wife and sister were looking for a pillow and he said, "It's under the covers." When they were moving his leg, he said, "Why are you doing that?" When some people were visiting and they said they'd sit and talk a while, he said, as long as it doesn't involve Noni. He has been hearing about noni constantly as people are talking about it all the time because of his miraculous recovery. His wife said that remark is typical of his sense of humor. Don does not always respond when spoken too; he is keeping his eyes open except for a few catnaps.
1-29: His wife went in to see him in the morning and he said, "Hi" It had now been 3 weeks since he started drinking noni. His wife called their friends to tell them about his amazing recovery.
2-2: Don had 2 short (30 sec.) seizures in the last few days and is keeping his eyes open all night. After the seizures he has been lethargic. I said that it might be good to cut the amount of noni back abit and/or stop it earlier in the day because it can decrease our need for sleep. He needs his sleep to continue healing. His wife gave him 26oz. of Noni today but gave the last dose earlier in the day. She also gave him some Phenobarbital. They're checked Dilantin level but they don't have results yet.
2-3: Don slept well last night and is responding very well. He is speaking again. Don picked up something with both hands so his left arm is now working. His wife does not want to cut amount he is drinking but will stop it earlier in the day.
2-5: Don was holding a book with both hands and when asked to read he read a difficult paragraph. He is occasionally answering family members using long sentences. He laughed at a movie. His Dilantin level was 5 so that would account for the two seizures. His amount of Dilantin was raised.
2-7: Don is using his right arm, doing things such as scratching his face. Flo had asked him if the feeding tube bothered him and he said"Yes it bothers me". They removed the feeding tube and he is eating normally. The doctor has prescribed physical therapy but it has not yet started. You can imagine how happy his wife is that she has hope and is not planning a funeral. His wife expects it will be at least a few weeks until another CAT scan is done so we can only judge his progress by his responses so far.
Note that Don is not receiving any other treatment for cancer. The doctors are amazed and
don't know what to make of this.

Testimonial - Cancer

On February 23, 2001, some friends came to visit me. At this point, my friend told me she had 4 cancerous tumors the size of a golf ball in her upper chest and throat and that the doctors had given her approximately three months to live. They purchased one bottle of Noni juice and started drinking the juice on Sunday, February 25 - Sun, March 3, Lisa drank 4 ounces per day-

On Friday, March 1, the doctors called and told her that they found three more tumors and that she now had only 1 month to live. On Monday, March 5, she took 11 ounces of Noni juice, 1/3 of her second bottle. She then went to the doctors for a checkup and they were amazed at what they found. Her 7 golf ball sized tumors had decreased in size by 75% after drinking only 1 and 1/3 bottles of Noni juice!

Testimonial - Cancer between ribs & Spine

I am 31 years of age, and 2 1/2 years ago was found to have tumours between my ribs, causing them to fuse together, and also on my spine between the 3rd and 4th vertebrae
I was given radiation treatment by my doctor.
I met a noni distributor, from Inverell,who came into the nursery where I worked, and who, when hearing of my condition, recommended that I trial Noni Juice. She obtained it for me. I took 4 to 6 tablespoons three times daily, and 2 months later went back for further scans.
My doctor was amazed to find that the tumours were shrinking, and told me to keep doing what I was doing!
I then started to consume approx 4 oz (120 mls) three times daily, and three months later the scans showed that the tumours had reduced from the size of a 20c piece to the size of a garden pea, the "tails" of the growths had also "dropped off"
By the end of 6 months, the tumours had disappeared completely. That was 2 years ago, and today I am healthy and well. I am consuming approx 90 mls each day(30mls by 3 times) and will continue to do so.
I thank this distributor for introducing me to this life saving juice, and I thank the company for bringing it to Australia.

Testimonial - Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia

have had what was diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia for six years. Fibromyalgia is like arthritis, only in the muscle. The symptoms are worse with physical exercise or activity. Something as simple as peeling potatoes can cause two days of pain. Pain is often delayed one or two days after the activity.
Some doctors think that since the magnesium levels are usually low in fibromyalgia patients, the muscles actually tear. Muscles can tear in athletes with lack of stretching and over-activity, but this is way beyond normal and stretching also causes delayed pain.
Most patients also have sleeping disorder, as the muscles don't relax enough to let you sleep properly. For many patients, numerous nights are spent rocking back and forth in pain for hours, before getting a few hours of fitful sleep.
The last six years have been spent doing what little work I could do out of my home. I earned a little with multi-level marketing and some telephone work. Much of the time was spent on relative's couches when unable to work at all. A little over two years ago I went to a chiropractor who gave me some nutritional products for 12 weeks. My energy level started to increase, but none of the pain subsided. I was able to do a few more things each day.
After that, I was introduced to LifePlus products and started taking some enzymes. I had had a bad knee that was painful anytime I did the least little walking. That healed within a couple of months and hasn't returned since. So, I thought I had really found something. I then started taking Pycnogenof (OPC'S), digestive enzymes, and then later, colloidal minerals.
These things definitely helped my energy level and some of the pain. They helped me sleep a little better. At least, I was not rocking back and forth in pain every night, but I still had to take lbuprofen once or twice a week. As I kept going on the product, it seemed only to maintain but no more progress was made. They definitely helped me at least start to "get a life". Most of that terrible weak and fatigued feeling did leave.
However, I still had a lot of pain. I dreaded bending over to pick anything up or get something out of the cupboard or refrigerator. I usually waited for my daughter to do it for me. It was painful for me to get out of a chair or get in and out of the car. I could manage to do dishes and maybe go to the store for a few things, as my total activity out of my chair.
I dreaded walking very far, because of the pain, and if I 'couldn't find a close parking space, I would give up and go home. If I was going to have to walk very far in a big store I could get an electric cart. My daughter sometimes wanted me to shop with her. In order to do that we would rent a wheelchair from the mall.
I often could not sit all the way through church. It was a painful event to go to a movie. If I went to a family gathering, after being there an hour or so, I couldn't wait to get home and sit down. My underlying energy level was quite good, but pain wears you out quickly, and all you want to do is get where you can lie down or recline in a soft chair.
It would usually take a full day or two to recover from traveling any distance.
I started Noni at the end of September, and at the end of my first week I felt my movement was more free. I didn't walk so haltingly, and could move about easier.
Then I made a trip to Utah for my son's wedding, and I noticed it did not take me long to recover from that trip. I helped do some cooking for the wedding which was still painful, but my recovery time seemed less. I was off the Noni for a few days but on the way back to Phoenix, I opened another bottle. I could tell that it helped make the trip much easier. I felt it was really worth pursuing it further.
I returned to Phoenix on October first and started telling others about it. There was immediate interest and so I decided to see if I could also work toward making a living by sharing it with others.
I continued to improve. I started sleeping better, taking less lbuprofen. I noticed it was easier to bend over. I mopped the bathroom and had much less repercussion from it. As I continued through the month I started to think about what I wanted to do with my life, instead of how to get through the day as cheerfully as possible.
My Noni business started to grow and we started seeing results with other people here locally with Diabetes, infected bum healed quickly, arthritis, etc.
I started going through my canned goods and doing other extra things instead of painfully getting through the minimum. Previously, my daughter had to do most of the housework. There were times when I got discouraged as I had some emotional ups and downs in this process. I also would have a day or two when the pain was very bad, but then soon it was gone and I was better than before. I had some depression, which is unusual because most people react feeling better, mentally.
In fact, there have been three people in my downline who got off Prozac. However, I know it was working as I was doing things like getting in and out of my car without much effort, walking faster and more normally, not dreading having to get my daughter at 9:30 or 10:00 at night. I was doing so much more that I was determined to stick it out. Well, it really paid off.
At the end of being on it for two months, it really started kicking in. I am in my third month now and I am amazed at what I did over Thanksgiving. The day before, I baked a turkey, made dressing from scratch, made gravy, cooked and mashed potatoes, peeled yams, made a yam dish, went to the store and chauffeured my daughter to school, to work and back.
I was bending over and putting things in and out of cupboards and the refrigerator, doing dishes, etc. On Thanksgiving, we went to my sister's for dinner at 1:00, stayed and played games until into the evening. My nap was to fall asleep in my chair for a few minutes. The next day, I went to Prescott and Sedona with my family. We did some shopping at several stores, drove around to see the sights, etc., and got home at 12:30 that night. My nap was about 15 minutes in the car sitting up. All this three days in a row!!
After being on the product for about a month, both my daughters independently commented on how I now have life in my face that wasn't there before. I look forward to continued improvement.
I took one bottle of Noni a week for awhile. I now take about 2 tablespoons, 2 to 3 times a day. I take more if I do some major activity. I love ballroom dancing and have been able to go several times recently, which is wonderful. I still have some pain, but way, way less.
Since Noni also enhances anything else you are taking, if I have pain at night now I just take some Noni or some calcium/magnesium tablets, which now work beautifully to relax me and get me right back to sleep.
Before Noni, those same tablets would never help me at all. I have had no pain medication for weeks!

TESTIMONIAL - Cat

My cat has been with us for fifteen years already and has never fallen sick. One day, it was not able to pass motion and was passing out blood all over the house. This cat is toilet trained and it has never dirtied the house before. I could see that it was in pain. Then I remembered that I could also feed my cat with noni juice. I tried to feed it but it was reluctant to drink. I ended up applying half ounce of noni juice on its front legs and paw, so that when it cleaned itself, the noni juice will be consumed. The next day, it has recovered and back to normal and as active as usual. Thanks to this miracle fruit.

TESTIMONIAL - Menopause

When my doctor told me I was pre - I thought he meant historic. He meant - pre-menopausal. I was only 47 at the time. This frightened me as I thought I had a long way to go before that fun stuff. Well sir - the hot flashes, the night sweats - the mood swings – the incessant crying and anger was overwhelming. I had to take showers twice - once to get clean - the 2nd time to wash off the sweat. I had to blow dry my hair before leaving the house. I was soaked most of the time. I took evening of primrose - Vitamin E, meno-basics - an herbal cocktail of all kinds of great herbs - to no avail. My face was always red hot. I always felt like someone got out the kitchen torch - except there was no creme Brule! I had fans in every purse and used the church bulletin every Sunday to cool off. Finally, my sister introduced me to NONI juice in Feb, 05. Hey I thought, I am not interested in Hormone Replacement Therapy - it has side effects. Ok - let's try it. I even bought an apron that said - " I am still HOT - it only comes in Flashes!"

Within 1 week - no flashes - no sweats - no ruining my good clothes. No chills, no red face. I kept telling my mom and sister how great I felt - my mom was very skeptical and said maybe my menopause was finished. I visited my doctor and told him - he was amazed and had no explanation. He said I was now mid-menopause - but who cares - I feel amazing. Now I say - I am 50 - and still AMAZING! Thank you NONI!

TESTIMONIAL - Back Pain

At the age, 16 I severely injured my back. All the sports I used to love I could no longer play due to my disk herniations. I went though months and months of physical therapy, but it never helped. All the therapist would smile and say your doing great and let me on my way. BUT I WAS STILL IN SO MUCH PAIN!I went back to my doctor and he suggested surgery or steriod shots. I choose the shots, but eventully decided not to take them. I suffered in pain until I was 19 years of age. This was the year I was introduced to Tahitan Noni juice. A month and a half later, after drinking 2 ounces a day of the Tahitian Noni juice, I have no more pain. I now play basketball for fun and occasionally go bowling. I thank God for bringing noni into my life.

TESTIMONIAL - Energy

I started using noni juice seven weeks ago and since then my energy levels are soaring. Noni juice has changed my life. I no longer have acid reflux, the pain in my lower arms and wrists are gone, the pain in my knees is gone, and I haven't used any sinus medications in over a month now. I can go up and down the steps without gasping for air. I can't say enough about this juice; it has changed my life. Why not let it change yours?

TESTIMONIAL - Pregnancy

I started drinking noni juice for good nutrition when I found out I was pregnant. It gave me increased energy and lowered my stress levels in just a few days. I drank noni juice every day during my pregnancy and never experienced many of the "pit falls" of pregnancy, such as morning sickness, mood swings, lack of energy, and headaches. When I went into labor I drank an ounce of noni juice every hour, and did not use any pain medication for delivery. I delivered a healthy nine-pound baby boy. He was very alert after birth. He was able to lift his head and focus his eyes on me while nursing. My midwife was amazed at my 48-hour check up because I had almost no swelling or soreness. I had such positive results with noni juice that I began giving a fourth of an ounce to my newborn when he was a few days old. He likes taking noni juice; it is the only thing I've given him other than breast milk. I've noticed slight differences between my son and other babies his age. He rarely cries, sleeps easily, and is very attentive when he's awake. At two months he had complete head control and started rolling over. I don't know if his development and temperament has been effected by noni juice, but I'm glad to have such a healthy, happy baby boy.

TESTIMONIAL - Thyroid Cancer

I was diagnosed as having an inflamed goitre on July 2002 and was sent to a specialist.

A biopsy was performed in November and within 5 days I was in hospital to have a removal of my thyroid operation on 28th November.

On 5th December I was again operated on, due to complications and the fact that the biopsy had proved malignant. Two hours after that operation, I was again in surgery due to heavy bleeding.

Two weeks after this time, my friend called to see me and bought me a bottle of Noni Juice. I left it in the refrigerator. She again returned and after reading some books she had bought with her, I decided to take the juice very seriously…

My first bottle I drank in 10 days, and continued around that amount or more, until I recovered.

When I was due to have radiation, I consulted my doctors about staying on the Noni Juice. They examined the contents of the bottle, read a book I had loaned to them, and told me I could keep drinking it throughout the radiation. At this time they took me off OROXIN, for two weeks prior to the radiation, to “weaken me”. Imagine their surprise when that did not happen, I felt strong and well throughout the radiation.

The doctors and nurses were amazed – everyone else in a similar situation as I was, were weak and nauseous, and I just powered through.

When I came home my two sons both had tonsillitis, and my 5 year old was due to have them removed. I started them on Noni Juice, at 10mls daily, and very quickly my 5-yr old lost his fever and the tonsils in both diminished back to normal size.

I just love this juice, and I can’t help talking about it to everyone.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)-Lou Gehrig's Disease

I would suggest 40 mls/3 x day of Noni Juice as part of the dietary regimen for people with this disorder.

Q.& A. - Multiple Sclerosis

Q. Would you please tell me if Noni juice can help a person with Multiple Sclerosis?
What will the effects be?
The literature only says it will only affect 50% of users.?
Could you please give me your opinion and suggested dosage for a woman 55yrs with MS.

A.Dr. Mona Harrison says that it can help MS and in my experience with people using it, the effects of MS are definitely slowed down. Depression is greatly helped and in each person the other effects differ. I would suggest a minimum of 40 mls/3 x day.

Testimonial - Severe Pain and other things

My name is Colleen Abbott. I'm 61 years young thanks to Noni Juice which I have been drinking on a daily basis since July, 1996, when some business friends, Ken Roland, Tom Thornton, and Lynn Ascraft made a phone call with each of them connecting from a different state in the US. I was puzzled and annoyed that they wanted me to look at a new product in the health or alternative health world that was a simple, unheard of juice from a far away Polynesian island. My medical doctor husband was concerned when I would try new products as he was worried that the quality control might be lax or laboratory testing be non existent - making the product unstandardized and possibly harmful.

Knowing his position on products from the alternative health world, I listened somewhat skeptically to my three friends who were obviously excited about this new product and their experiences with it. Those experiences cut through my initial negativity as these gentlemen were and are men of their word as well as successful business associates. What they didn't know was that I was suffering even as we were talking on the phone and in a great deal of severe back pain radiating from the top my head, neck, and back down through my legs all the way to my painful feet. (I had failed backwards in May a few weeks before and could hardly move or do any task without a lot of agony due to constant and sharp pain.) Since I had access to heavy pain killers, I could have stayed on them but they frightened me. I felt so awful when they wore off that I was afraid I would be tempted to overuse them and become dependent on them. I'd seen people with injured backs who were hooked on pain killers and I suddenly could understand how that could happen to me. So no narcotic pharmaceuticals for me. But I was a human pain machine day and night without relief. I tried several products - different supplements to help with the pain and healing but they made no difference.

The day after this phone call I gingerly drove to the new company's warehouse nearby in Lindon, Utah, to see a man named Kelly Olsen whom I knew. Kelly was now the V.P. of Marketing of this new startup company and a friend so I figured I could pick his brain about why he was with this new company. He told me his private, positive experiences in using this juice - that it gave him pain relief- and he shared his wife's personal experiences with this juice also giving her energy and pain relief. At that point I was willing to try it so signed up as a distributor and took a case of 4 bottles of juice home with me to try it for myself.

Within 3 nights I was starting to get some quality rest and the day pain was manageable. I could begin to resume my regular life and was so pleased and surprised that I shared this juice with family and friends that very first week. Now I had tried hundreds of products before and no products ever worked so well in my body as did this juice. It has been seven years now since I first drank this juice and I still drink it several times each day. Another side benefit is that I comfortably support myself now that I'm widowed with residual income from people who use this juice and find it gives them health benefits.

At this point in time I have a long list of disappeared problems. Now I can't prove that noni made the difference but you read this list and see what you think. My back pain is gone, my hip, knee, and leg pains are gone, my neck pain is mostly gone, and my shoulders and ribs don't hurt any more. (Meanwhile, I was in 2 car accidents and reinjured all these areas again plus I pushed my ill husband in his wheel chair and took care of him for several years until he passed away in 2000. Yet I am strong and healthy today.) My allergies are gone. I take no over the counter or pharmaceutical medicines of any kind in spite of having many different kinds of prescriptions in the past for high blood pressure, stress, depression, allergies, hypo thyroid problems, acid reflux, constipation, bladder control, arthritis, muscle pain, chronic fatigue, and chronic lung and sinus infections. Minor problems such as ringing in the ears and a stuffy nose have disappeared. My hair is still thick with very little gray, my finger nails are long and strong, my skin is clear and smooth, and I have kept my weight down to a trim size 10 while drinking this juice. Also, I have tons of energy, go walking for an hour each day, dance Friday and Saturday nights, serve in my church, travel long distances by car (driving myself without getting sleepy), walk and move without pain, have a happy heart and a clear mind, conduct my business affairs with clarity and focus, and continue to avoid colds and flues no matter the season or current epidemic in my area.

And people worry that this noni juice might be expensive. You couldn't pay me enough to have the sicknesses that used to plague me all the time. The time I spent in doctor's offices, the money I spent for over the counter and prescription drugs continually drained my budget and I never felt well, never felt enough energy, never felt like I was regaining my health. That's what's really too high a price to pay. The simple bottle of this Noni Juice is the best health bargain I've ever found.

Please give yourself the gift of better health and drink this wonderful juice every day. Then share with others so they can know the same joy.

Written with love to my wonderful partners and friends,
Colleen S. Abbott, June 23, 2003, Orem, Utah, USA

Testimonial - Liver Cancer

To all you believers, sceptics and users.

I know you people that have been following Bob Irwin's fight with cancer, have been waiting for this update.

For those of you who don't know Bob started drinking the juice in September. He had liver cancer and was very close to death. He quickly got up to 12 ounces (360 ml) a day and has been taking between 12 (360 ml) and 16 (480 ml) every day since. He has been having chemotherapy every month. On February 9th he went in for a full day of tests and today he got the results. There is no trace of cancer!! The doctor calls him his miracle patient and said to him today, "you have no idea how close you were to your demise, we were all worried about you." He is having chemo again this week and they wanted him to have it again next month, WHY! Bob said they didn't want anymore so after this week it is finished and he doesn't have another appointment for three months!

Keep spreading the word everyone Noni Juice works!!!

Testimonial - Adrenal carcinoma

Good Morning (This was written to a lady in Sydney, NSW)

What wonderful news we received last week. Thanks to the kind generosity
of our Morinda friends, Trevor was able to maintain the levels of Noni to help his
condition. As I mentioned he was diagnosed with Adrenal carcinoma in December - Stage 4. His wife is due to have their first baby in approximately five weeks. He was really quite ill and had virtually lost his voice.

He phoned us last week with his results of his most recent scans and blood
tests. ALL POSITIVE, NO LUMPS CAN BE FOUND, BLOOD TESTS ALL NORMAL!!!!

We were astounded. The combination of all things he was using was the
answer. He and Vicki are so grateful to be given the chance to use the Noni Juice. We have told him not to be complacent and to keep up the juice.

Harry and I are astounded by the kindness shown and would like to thank
you all from the bottom of our hearts. This certainly restores your faith in human
kindess. Life is a circle and what you give out will return, maybe not in the same way or from the same people, but it will certainly be returned.

Many, many thanks.

Noni - Sport's training

Noni is a powerful antioxidant drink.

Sport performance is followed by a high production of free radicals. The main reasons are reperfusion after the previous imbalance between the increased need of the organism and the ability of blood supply by oxygen, increased production of ATP, decomposition of the cells particularly white blood cells, oxidation of the purin basis from DNA, stress, output of epinephrine release of free iron, increased temperature in the muscle and its inflammation, and the reception of free radicals from external environment. Peroxidation of lipids, proteins, DNA and other compounds follows the previous biochemical steps. Antioxidants are consumed by free radicals, antioxidative enzymes are released into blood plasma, intracellular calcium is increased, the production of nitric oxide rises, the levels of hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorous acid increase. These penetrate through the membranes and oxidatively damage the tissues. Training improves the ability of the organism to balance the increased load of free radicals. The damage can be lowered by the application of a mixture of antioxidants, the most important are vitamin C, A, E, glutathione, selenium, carnosine, eventually bioflavonoids and ginkgo biloba. The lack of antioxidants can significantly diminish the sport performance and therefore the supplementation with antioxidants is for top sportsmen but also for aged people advisable.

Testimonial - Lupus, Reynauds, Anemia, Hypothyroid

In July 1998, I was hospitalized with congestive heart failure, liver and kidney failure. I was in excruciating pain and was dehydrated (I was given fourteen bags of IV) but continued with edema. After being in the hospital for a week I was diagnosed with Lupus and Schlerderma. I started taking this awesome juice from the Polynesian Islands. I started taking 2 ounces for a week and then read Dr. Solomon's book on how to take this product. I then increased my dosage to 8 ounces a day and after 17 months I was pain free, and I am in the best of health. I have now decreased my dosage to 4 ounces a day. Now at the age of 72, I am feeling the very best I have ever felt in my life! Through the years I have experienced extreme hypo-thyroidism, chronic anemia, Reynaud's disease and 10 years of Staph infections. I look like I am 60 years old; I wake up every morning and continue all day PAIN FREE!!! For a year now I have been off all of my Lupus medications, and I no longer need a fluid pill. What a wonderful life I am living due to this great PRODUCT!"

Testiomonial - Shingles

I was diagnosed with Shingles in November 1996. They were centered on the left side of my head, forehead, and eye area. I was given an anti-viral to take care of the lesions, but was told by my doctor that I would have the shooting needle like pain for a year at least, and maybe for the rest of my life. I also was numb on the left side of my forehead, and was told that was due to destroyed nerve endings, and it would always be numb. The pain I felt on the left side of my head was like a cross between an ache and a burn. The doctor said that would come and go, and I would probably feel it more during times of stress. (Oh, oh -- stress was my middle name!) In January 1997, I was introduced to noni. I thought it sounded like a good product, and I placed by first order, not even thinking about my Shingles affliction. With my very first ounce, the shooting needle like pains disappeared. (They had been happening every 10 minutes, or so, since they had started nearly 3 months prior to starting on noni). I was impressed. Having only one bottle of noni, I ran out early in February. The aching, burning pain on the left side of my head began. I quickly reordered, and found that as long as I take noni, I don't feel that pain. Oh my, what would my life be like without it??? The most surprising thing happened after I had been taking noni regularly for about 2 years. I started having tingling sensations in the numb area of my forehead. To my amazement, the numbness has all disappeared, and the feeling has returned. Would you say something has repaired my nerve endings? I would, and I would say that something was noni. I would never quit using noni. What a wonderful gift God sent to me, right when I needed it most. I never had to suffer the excruciating pain so many people have told me they suffered with Shingles."

Effects of Terpenes in Noni

Terpenes are a family of compounds that are widely distributed in the plant world. Some have biological activity while others are used only for various commercial purposes. These are substances that occur in most of the essential oils and resins in plants. For instance terpenes are the major components in the oils of citrus fruits and they include the bioflavanoids and the carotenoids.

These substances combat fungal bacterial infections and there are many stories claiming that terpenes are helpful in the treatment of glaucoma, spastic symptoms of multiple sclerosis, spinal lesions and in reducing the severity of side effects of chemotherapy.

Noni and Cancer - How much Noni

What is cancer

Simply put, cancer is a cellular malfunction. When suffering from cancer, the human body loses normal cellular controls, which results in the malignant of cell's unregulated growth. Theses cancer cells have a lack of differentiation and invade local tissue, travel elsewhere, and metastasize. The disease itself begins by one cell that mutates or changes. The abnormal cell maintains that mutation through the cell's reproduction process despite the efforts of the human body's defense system, which tries to eliminate abnormal cells. These mutated cells (resulting from abnormal DNA) then travel through the body, setting up residency in one or more of the body's organs. There are now well over one hundred types of cancer that can exist within the human body.

I believe noni's effect on cancer most likely deals with the fact that both noni and cancer work on a cellular level. It is further believed that noni enhances cellular structure while cancer, of course, destroys it. One of noni's key components, proxeronine, is sent to "sick" cells within the body by the Golgi apparatus and an enzyme, proxeroninease. The interaction creates xeronine, a cellular enhancer.

How much to drink?
While someone is on chemotherapy then 30 mls/2 x day is adequate. While not on chemotherapy then 1L/day for 4 days then 250 mls/day for the next 80 days. This is the amount people with any type of cancer should drink as a dietary support for their cancer treatment.

Q.& A. - Is it safe to take noni along with other medications?

Dr. Neil Solomon quotes, "Noni works synergistically with other food supplements and/or medications. It should be noted that noni can be used together with all other medications because there are virtually no negative interactions. In some situations, noni can allow other medications to act more efficiently. You should tell your health professional that you are taking noni as your physician might want to decrease the dose of the medication prescribed." (Text from "The Noni Phenomenon", pg 48

I find with blood thinners such as warfarin (coumarin), insulin & blood pressure tablets that those drinking noni should stay monitored with their doctor. It may be that their medication can be reduced or even done away if the body finds the nutrients in noni help with their health issue. Noni naturopath

Testimonial - Arthritis

Several years ago I was diagnosed with arthritis in my lower back. This started about seven years ago. I would sleep on my back wrong, wake up and not be able to stand up straight (my torso was leaning to the left). One day I woke up and crawled to the bathroom in pain. This was due to the pain in my lower back. I crawled back in bed and was there for the next three days. I didn't want to live my life not knowing whether I'd wake up and be able to go to work or not simply because I slept on my back wrong the night before. After that I used Advil and various other products on the market, even some health supplements. In September of 2002 I learned about noni juice. I have been taking the juice since then and have experienced minimal back pain. This is remarkable given the fact that I work construction for a living."

Testimonial - Allergies

"My chiropractor introduced me to take noni about three years ago because I was having such a terrible time with allergies. I had been to allergists before and received no relief. It took me about three months to see a significant, but unmistakable, change in my health. I was constantly stuffed up, not able to function with simple tasks it was so bad. I had extreme allergies to hay, cats, cigarette smoke, pollen just to name a few. I had tested positive for nearly everything. If I came in contact with hay or cats my eyes would be swollen and itchy for days, and I would most likely have an immediate asthma attack. My allergies are now 99% completely gone; I have no problem being around any of the above and regularly handle hay and come in contact with horses… not a problem! I was extremely skeptical at first, but I am now a living proof that noni does work."

Testimonial - Hepatitis C

"I served two tours of duty in Vietnam in 1967 & 1968, and like so many other Vietnam Veterans of my era, I contracted Hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is a real epidemic running rampant through many vets of the Vietnam War, and is an insidious retroactive disease that lays dormant for decades then strikes with a vengeance. You can carry the virus for years, as I did, and never know you have it until it hits you. When it hit me, it came on hard. I was diagnosed three years ago with the disease and also found, through a liver biopsy, that the disease has now caused severe cirrhosis and fibrosis of the liver as well. My doctor told me that on a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 being healthy and 4 being end stage liver disease, I was a 3. So I started a very difficult daily Ribivirin and weekly interferon injection treatment which very quickly caused severe anemia. Now I had to take the medication Procrit to counteract the serious drug induced hemolytic anemia that was now a major medical issue for me in addition to the Hep-C.

After a long consultation with my doctors it was mutually determined that conventional treatment was not helping. The present drug therapy I was undergoing was deemed unsuccessful and to continue the course of treatment would only worsen my health. The decision was made to discontinue treatment immediately. According to the experts my next step was to prepare myself for the inevitable, a liver transplant somewhere in the future. It was at this point that I made the commitment to do everything in my power to do use natural and alternate methods possible to avert the ravages of my liver disease and use noni juice as the main ingredient in my recovery. I modified my diet to include organic raw fruits and vegetables, daily doses of vitamins, along with at least one meal replacement of the complete protein powder containing noni mixed with fresh juices and six ounces (180 mls) of noni juice twice daily, morning and evening. Almost immediately I began to feel better, and within a month I had more energy than I had felt in years. My skin color lost its jaundice, and when I returned in 90 days for my doctor’s check up, I had lost 30 pounds. I was brimming with energy and my liver enzymes were lower than they had ever been. They are remaining that way too. Today I enjoy my life to the fullest, and even with my impaired liver function I show no apparent limitations or effects of the severity of my health condition. I have learned to pace myself, I continue to watch my diet, keep stress at a minimum and I sustain my health by drinking a liter of noni juice a week for good maintenance."

Healthy and Happy Pets-Dr. Neil Solomon

We love our pets. In America alone, we spend more than $20 billion a year on them. Yet sadly, just like people, animals are less healthy because of poor diet, lack of exercise, and the rise in chronic, degenerative diseases. But that doesn’t have to be the case.

During his research on noni juice, Dr. Neil Solomon, M.D., Ph.D., gathered positive data from thousands of people who drink noni. Throughout this time, he became keenly aware that noni’s healing influence didn’t stop with humans. Thousands of animals, both farm and domesticated, have used noni with results just as amazing as their human friends.

In this book, Dr. Solomon shares the information he has learned from veterinarians, farmers, and pet owners from around the world. This book will teach you things like how much noni to feed your pet and the best way to give it to them. You will also learn the noni protocol that top-notch veterinarian Dr. Gary Tran has used with over 10,000 animals to get them healthy and keep them that way. Dr. Solomon shows pet lovers everywhere how to use noni juice to help keep their pets as happy and healthy as they can be.

Stress-Dr. McPhilamy

"Our autonomic bodily functions, systems and organs, expect to have the necessary neutraceuticals, including, but not limited to vitamins, minerals, proteins, proper dietary and plant nutrition, that is absolutely mandatory for continuing peak performance. When these organs and systems don't get exactly what they need, they and the cells from which they are made go into a state of generation, followed by debilitating subtle stress.

Sick, stressed out cells find relief with noni juice, which sustains a cell's flow-through ability. If a cell can stay malleable enough to permit harmful substances such as acids, overproduced hormones and other toxins to actually flow-out of the cell, while at the same time allowing nutraceuticals to flow in, the stressed out cell can be repaired. Noni juice helps cells with this "flow through" function. Being able to rid itself of toxins is obviously very important to cells since it prevents pressure buildup that could cause cellular inflammation." (Pg. 19)

ISA NAVARRE'S NONI SCALP TREATMENT

Don't worry, this treatment will not turn your hair purple!

TRY THE NONI SCALP TREATMENT FOR:

Various scalp conditions including:
· Dandruff
· Eczema
· Psoriasis
· Itchy scalp
· Scalp sores

HOW TO APPLY THE NONI SCALP TREATMENT:
1. Pour some noni fruit juice in a medicine cup or small plastic cup. You will need at least one tablespoonful. Use as much as two ounces if your condition is throughout your scalp, if you have a lot of hair, or if your condition is relatively severe.
2. Wrap a towel around your neck and shoulders.
3. Hold the cup with the noni over your head. Part the hair over a section of your scalp. Pour some of the juice on this area so the noni makes direct contact with your skin. As you pour the juice on, massage it into your hair so it does not drip off your head.
4. Repeat Step 3 with different sections of your scalp. Apply the noni to your entire scalp, or just those areas that need it. Put a second and third coat of juice over problem areas.
5. When you have applied all the noni, massage it into your scalp for a few minutes.
6. Brush or comb your hair. Then let it air dry, or cover your head with a towel or an old shower-cap.
7. Keep the noni on for a few hours, or overnight, or just until it dries. Then rinse out the noni fruit juice and wash your hair.

MORE ABOUT THE NONI SCALP TREATMENT:

Repeat this procedure daily until the condition improves. You may need someone else's help to do this procedure, especially if you find it difficult to reach your arms up over your head.

In researching whether noni can be used safely on the hair, I collected many hair samples that included natural, treated, as well as gray hair. Part of each sample was soaked in noni fruit juice for over twenty-four hours, and then studied. I also examined the samples under a microscope.

Noni appeared to have no negative effect on the natural and gray hair samples. I noticed that after using noni on my own scalp (I kept it there until it dried, and then washed it off), my natural hair seemed softer and to have more "body".

The effects of noni on treated hair varied and were inconclusive. This is not surprising, since there are so many different kinds of hair treatments. Just to be safe, those who have treated hair and wish to do the Noni Scalp Treatment should wash off the noni after about twenty to thirty minutes. This is plenty of time to allow the noni to work on your scalp, while not interfering with your hair treatment.

How Often Should I Drink Noni Juice-Dr. Neil Solomon

In an attempt to answer this question, a study of metabolic kinetics of noni puree has been carried out at the UIC laboratory in Rockford, Illinois. The metabolic kinetics of noni puree was studied in female rats after oral administration on 1 ml noni puree per 100 grams of body weight. Scopoletin, a well known major component in noni puree, was chosen as a marker and monitored in the plasma and in different organs over time. Results showed that to maintain a higher blood concentration of scopoletin, noni juice* should be taken every two to four hours. For overall health maintenance, however, noni juice* should be taken every six to twelve hours, no matter how much you drink. You should divide the doses into several servings, rather than take the total daily supply all at once. Results demonstrated that the frequency of drinking noni juice* is more important than the amount you drink. The distribution of scopoletin in various organs indicates that noni is absorbed into different tissues approximately one hour after administration. The peak concentration in different tissues occurred at about three hours.

Noni Component - ARGININE in noni

Arginine and Children
Adults require nine essential amino acids but infants and growing children require a tenth amino acid, arginine. Arginine is made by the liver as a step in producing urea in order to rid the body of the toxic build up of ammonia in the muscles. Children, however, cannot manufacture arginine fast enough to keep their bodies detoxified in addition to caring for the manufacture of necessary proteins required for their growth, therefore they must obtain it through their diet.

Arginine and high energy requirements
There is a high energy compound called creatine phosphate which is important in keeping energy stores high in muscle and other excitable tissues such as brain and nerve. Body builders and other athletes often supplement themselves with this important nutrient so that their energy levels will remain high. Arginine and methionine are both important amino acids required by the body for the synthesis of this compound within the body and must present in adequate amounts for this process to take place. Both of these amino acids are found in noni juice.

Arginine also stimulates the release of growth hormone and insulin. Like alanine it is involved in immune system processes as well as the synthesis of collagen, insulin, elastin, glucagons, and haemoglobin.

(Body injuries sustained through the day may only consist of micofibre injuries within the muscles. These are repaired during stage 4 of sleep (the deepest stage of sleep) when growth hormone is released. For those with fibromyalgia, sleep is disturbed and these repairs do not take place, giving rise to continually aching muscles. The disturbed sleep also gives rise to chronic fatigue in the individuals.)

Arginine and Reproduction
Men consuming arginine as a food supplement have been able to have sperm count and motility improved where there was previously poor sperm count and activity.

NONI AS A YIN/YANG FOOD SUPPLEMENT REGULATOR

YIN/YANG: AN IMPORTANT PART OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE
The Yin/Yang theory has been used in many different ways in Chinese philosophy, but it has been extensively used in the biological and medical fields. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the human body is an integrated whole. Diagnosis and treatment of the body is founded on this concept. A healthy body depends on the balance of Yin/Yang. All diseases result from an imbalance of Yin/Yang. When these two forces are in balance, harmony and equilibrium are achieved. The basic nutritional theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine arise through the concepts of Yin/Yang and Qi. Yin, meaning "in the shade," is considered to represent darkness, the moon, coldness, and passivity. Yang, meaning "in the sunlight," represents light, sun, heat, and activity. Too much Yin results in physical symptoms such as cold, fatigue, and general weakness. Too much Yang results in physical symptoms such as fever, hyperactivity and swelling. Qi is a vital energy that represents various functions of the body.

There are millions of Yin/Yang pairings in the human body. Every element, cell, organ, and system has its own Yin/Yang. The net results from the interaction of these micro-Yin/Yang pairings are manifested as a macro-Yin/Yang status of health. They interact and strike a dynamic balance to achieve normal well-being. The basic theory of Chinese medicine is based upon the regulation and balance of Yin/Yang by using herbs, food, massage or acupuncture, and nutrients.

Noni acts as both a micro-sized Yin/Yang regulator and as a macro sized Yin/Yang regulator. Its regulatory power is seen in the way the fruit can benefit two opposite health conditions such as diarrhea and constipation, or high or low blood pressure. While noni's ability to benefit two opposing diseases baffles some and even discourages others from using noni. I believe it is wonderful proof of its Yin/Yang regulating abilities. In fact, the Yin/Yang theory may be the best way to explain the beneficial effects of the noni plant - the regulation of the balance between Yin/Yang to achieve a harmony in the body. Yin/Yang is why one simple plant can do so many things in so many different ways. Along with this theory, noni also appears to be able to tonify Qi, clear heat and toxins, and invigorate the blood. The properties of this plant are sweet, stinky, and neutral. Noni Juice enters the lung, spleen, liver, and kidney meridians. Therefore noni is beneficial for many different health conditions.

In order to better understand Yin/Yang, I want to share a few examples of other herbs that have limited Yin/Yang regulating abilities. Take for example Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng). The herb is often given for weakness and is considered a Yang tonic. In a double-blind study, thirty-six noni insulin-dependent diabetic patients were treated with ginseng (either 100 mg, 200 mg, or placebo). The result was that ginseng elevated mood and improved physical performance. However, American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is considered a Yin tonic and is given for hot constitutions. That is why American ginseng is recommended for women with hot flashes. Its effects as an adaptogen are similar to those of Asian Ginseng, but women often respond better to this form. Proxeronine in noni juice* is also an adaptogen that balances the Yin/Yang through the dual regulation that originally strengthens the Yin and then enhances the Yang.

An adaptogen is an agent that increases the body's ability to adapt to environmental and internal stress by strengthening the immune, nervous, and glandular systems. An "adaptogen" is able to enhance human body resistance to stress, disease, and the environment as well as normalize metabolic functions. It is able to increase metabolic efficiency, heighten in an unspecific way the resistance of the organism to various environmental influences, and reduce the predisposition or susceptibility to illness. It is also able to improve our ability to adapt to different external or internal disturbances, and enhance the body's non-specific resistance to external stresses or to noxious effects that are physical, chemical, or biological. An adaptogen allows you to maintain your health and allows for a higher quality of life and longevity. As an adaptogen, noni qualifies as perhaps the ultimate Ying/Yang regulator since it helps bring balance to the body regardless of the disease or chaos at hand.

Noni juice* works like a very powerful tonic herb to maintain the balance of Yin/Yang perfectly. Let me be more specific with just one example. Many have had a hard time understanding noni's dual regulation of blood pressure. Noni juice* benefits both high and low blood pressure in humans. Except for a known component of scopoletin, which is known to benefit high blood pressure, we do not know why noni juice* helps low blood pressure. This is where the Yin/Yang balancing comes into play. Specifically, I believe the substance proxeronine noni juice* (which later the body converts into xeronine) is a key chemical molecule in our body that balances, regulates, and modifies Yin/Yang on a micro level.

Why Noni Helps many conditions-Dr.Neil Solomon

The following text is written by Dr. Neil Solomon:

"Before delving into each of the specific health conditions for which people use noni, I want to quickly summarize how I believe noni is able to help so many different health problems. While the working theory I am about to present does not cover the only reason noni is such an effective natural health supplement, I believe it does help explain why this ancient fruit is able to improve the symptoms of so many varied types of health problems.

One of these theories used to explain noni's health effects revolves around one of its putative main components -proxeronine. It is believed that once in the body, proxeronine travels to specific parts of the cells, such as the mitochondria, microsomes, Golgi apparatus, reticuloendothelium, electron transport system, DNA, RNA, etc. Within the cell, these components communicate with each other (intracellular) and with other cells (intercellular). It is established by Dr. Anne Hirazumi that noni augments the release of high amounts of nitric oxide from immune cells. I coupled her work with the work from the 1998 Nobel Prize winners in medicine who are Drs. Robert Fuchgott, Feried Murad, and Louis Igano. These scientists demonstrated that nitric oxide in low concentrations allows cells to communicate with each other. Nitric oxide becomes one of their special languages. The 1999 Nobel Prize was awarded to Rockerfeller University Biologist Dr. Guenther Blobel who explained how proteins are shipped to cells using a "postal and zip code" sort of system. I believe when a person does not have optimal health, it is because some cells are sick.

Relying on research from other scientists, I have constructed my own theory about how the body is able to distribute the important biochemical compounds in noni. According to the theory, once in the body proxeronine travels to specific cells and settles in the cell's Golgi apparatus and reticuloendothelium. Within these structures, proxeronine combines with other natural biochemicals and building blocks (i.e. hormones, proteins, enzymes, serotonin, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants) where it exerts its action. It is postulated the Golgi apparatus and the reticuloendothelium then assemble all the necessary compounds into a specific "package" and deliver the "package" to the parts of the cell which are sick, or they may carry the "package" via the blood stream to other sick cells in other parts of the body, similar to how letters are sent to a specific address based upon the specified postal code. This is called the Noni Phenomenon.

As the receiving cell opens the "package" sent by the Golgi apparatus and the reticuloendothelium, the packaged proxeronine combines with another cellular enzyme called proxeroninease. According to the research by Dr. Ralph Heinicke, this combination converts into xeronine. Others believe that xeronine aids the cell to repair and regenerate itself. This is one way I believe that noni juice helps the body heal itself.

A simple illustration of this would be to compare proxeronine to that of a conductor of a symphony orchestra. Just as a conductor skillfully conducts the participants in an orchestra, proxeronine directs the various amounts of nutraceuticals, other natural biochemicals and building blocks (i.e. hormones, proteins, enzymes, serotonin, vitamins, antioxidants) to go to that part of the sick cell(s) to help in healthy regeneration. Once this happens, under the direction of its conductor the cells once again work in harmony and play beautiful, helpful music.

One might logically ask why use noni juice to replenish proxeronine? Why not obtain it from food? The answer is simple. Noni IS a food and is by far the richest known source of proxeronine. It has more than forty times more proxeronine than its closest competitor, pineapple."

Have vegetables lost their nutrients?

That green vegetable: who needs it?

Matthew Engel finds, with some relief, that broccoli may no longer be good for you.

If you sit anywhere long enough - be it the banks of the Ganges or a saloon bar - sooner or later you will hear someone say something interesting.

It happened to me last week in the most improbable place imaginable: the public gallery of the European parliament at Strasbourg, where whole eons can pass without anyone saying anything remotely interesting.

The remark I heard, or thought I heard, was: "Broccoli has lost 80 per cent of its nutritional value." The implications of this were staggering. No other item of food so powerfully represents the dictates of healthy eating against pleasurable eating.

"Eat your broccoli or else," is the most consistent mantra of the average
mother-son relationship.

In our household, we have staged - in my wife's absence - NSB (No Stupid
Broccoli) weeks as a counterattack.

It has even acquired political resonance. When George Bush snr declared, as president, that he hated broccoli, he was furiously denounced by all the worthy mothers of the United States. But I can tell you that Al Gore lost heavily among male voters because he was, quite obviously, an enthusiastic broccoli eater. You can tell.

So was it possible? Had I misheard? If broccoli isn't good for you, what's it good for? I rang Tim Lang, professor of food policy at Thames Valley University, England, who said: "I wondered when someone was going to get on to this." He put me in touch with a man called David Thomas who said: "At last!"

Thomas is a British researcher who did something simple, the essence of all major breakthroughs. He went to the British Library and found all the past editions of The Composition of Foods by McCance & Widdowson, the leading authority on British nutrition, which notes the content of all major foods. The book first came out in 1940 and by checking right back, he was able to plot some startling trends.

The problem is both broader and narrower than the Strasbourg broccoli remark suggests. Thomas's research refers specifically to trace elements, those obscure minerals which we all know we need because it says so on the side of cereal packets.

Thomas discovered that, since 1940, there had been some stunning declines of these in all fruit and vegetables: calcium is down 46 per cent; sodium down 49 per cent; copper down 75 per cent. More specifically, carrots have lost 75 per cent of their magnesium; broccoli has lost 75 per cent of its calcium; and sodium has disappeared entirely from runner beans. There are less dramatic declines almost across the menu.

Most of us are vaguely aware that we need calcium for healthy teeth and bones: that's the sort of thing you hear from advertisements. But copper? Apparently, it's a crucial guard against premature aging in general, and ailments as varied as piles and emphysema in particular.

Sodium? You can get too much of it, but it's essential to the working of the nerves and muscles. Magnesium, meanwhile, has all kinds of magical properties in warding off anything from kidney stones to PMT. And virtually all our intake comes from vegetables, fruit and nuts. That much is accepted science.

There are at least two possible explanations for these findings. Thomas thinks it is to do with the nature of modern agri-business, which has dumped huge quantities of fertiliser on the soil, increasing the content of the basic growth elements at the expense of everything else. Lang takes it further back: to plant breeding in general.

The seeds we plant in our gardens now have been specially bred to mature earlier, to resist disease, to last longer, to look better. The unglamorous business of trace elements is way down the priority list. And if that's true for ordinary gardeners, it's going to be 10 times more true at the industrial level, where our diet is controlled.

Thomas, it has to be said, is not a wholly unbiased observer. He is in the food supplements business. He thinks it's possible that somewhere in these statistics are the answers to the mysterious increase in a variety of diseases and problems - diabetes, asthma, allergies in general, leukaemia, eczema and so on. For all I know, this is drivel. But there are questions here that require answers.

Lang thinks so: "I don't understand why nutritionists aren't looking at this. It's an issue that will come, I'm absolutely convinced."

In the meantime - and this is not going to go down well with at least one
eight-year-old I know - the answer is not that we can give up broccoli.

On the contrary, we have to eat four or five times as much to get the benefit that would have been available 60 years ago. Eat more broccoli or else!

Noni and anti ageing - fruit flies

Fruit Flies and Noni ~ Anti-Aging!

Even though most of us don’t look like a fruit fly, about 70 percent of our genes that are known to cause human malignancies are found in similar form in the fruit fly. With these impressive genetic similarities and their short life span scientists often use fruit flies for their studies. Professor Steven Gallant has experimented feeding noni to fruit flies. He believed the same group of polysaccharides in noni that Dr. Ann Hirazumi found to help fight cancer may also extend the life of fruit flies. His results are exciting. In his experiment, most of the water-fed fruit flies died between 40 and 60 days, and none lived past 80 days. However, a large number of noni-fed fruit flies lived past 80 days. In fact, some were still alive after 100 days and also their mobility throughout their life was greatly improved.

Dried or Pureed Noni?

POWDERED OR DRIED? - Does the product contain fewer beneficial components because it is made from dried or powdered noni?

Many noni companies use a dried or dehydrated form of noni and then reconstitute it with a sweetened water solution. If you see extensive settling or notice separation, it is likely dried noni. The problem with dried or dehydrated noni is that beneficial compounds are lost during the drying process, removing useful components and weakening the potency of the juice.

Dried or powdered noni usually has not been cleaned properly or is dried in the sun. Insects, mold and germs are routinely found in this type of botanical material.

“The freeze-drying of biological material, which is to be quantitatively analyzed (micro-amount level) for compounds of low or intermediate molecular weight, should be either omitted or handled under strict control. This is because compounds such as amino acids, sugars, flavonoids, glycosides, coenzymes, peptides, etc., might be removed from concentrates and (or) the
ground biological material by the high vacuum’ (Analytical Biochemistry, June 1983).

This means that when a fruit such as noni is dehydrated, volatile compounds (the components that make noni effective) can and will be lost. Manufacturing dehydration processes are even more aggressive than the laboratory scale process mentioned above. Thus, the loss of volatile
compounds is even more evident in commercial powdered noni products. Any other method will cause even greater nutrient depletion than those mentioned in the previous quote.

PROCESSING - There are many different ways noni products are processed and brought into the commercial market. The most popular methods are explained below along with some pros and cons:

The Puree Method - the entire noni fruit is used in creating the juice. The fruit is picked when fully ripe and is then mashed finely (excluding the seeds) into a liquid puree. Because this puree is thick, flavouring juices are added to make the fruit into a liquid, palatable consistency before pasteurisation and bottling. Although still under scientific investigation, there are many beneficial properties derived from the noni fruit that you receive in products manufactured using this method. The juice is more palatable with the addition of flavouring juices and natural flavouring juices can enhance the nutritional benefits of the juice.
CAUTION - Some noni products have too many flavouring agents or too much water added which weakens the overall potency of the juice.

Juice Only Method - With this method, the noni fruit is picked when the product is ripe or very ripe, bordering on rotten. When the fruit is this ripe, the juice literally drips off of the fruit. The fruit is then placed over large screens and the juice drips off from the fruit and is collected in large tubs. This juice is then cleaned and bottled often without adding any other flavouring agents, sweeteners or thickeners. Sometimes companies will add water to the juice before bottling it for increased volume. There are currently no regulations on noni juice, so companies can legally add as much water back to the juice as they desire.
CAUTION - This may be the purest form of noni juice, but it can be difficult to palate because of noni's inherit strong taste. The natural juice can also be diluted undetectably and it may still bear the 100% pure juice label because of the lack of regulation. Juice made from this method is at a great risk of being rotten due to over ripening and this process excludes any beneficial properties that could be contained in the noni pulp.

Tablets and Capsules - With this method, the noni fruit is picked when it has reached maturity.The fruit is then passed through a dehydration or drying process that removes the majority of moisture content from the fruit. The dried fruit typically undergoes a process called "irradiation" to clean and sanitise the dried fruit. It is then ground into fine particles that are encapsulated or bound into tablets. Tablets and capsules may be more palatable, convenient
and easy to consume, but do these few pros outweigh the cons?
CAUTION - Because of a lack of scientific research on dried or dehydrated noni, its
efficacy in this state is largely unknown. Anytime a fruit is dehydrated, certain nutrients and compounds are lost. It has yet to be determined which properties in the noni fruit are lost during this process, but it is impossible to prevent some nutrients from being lost.

The Powdered Juice Method - With this method, the noni fruit is generally picked when it has reached maturity. The fruit is then passed through a dehydration or drying process that removes the majority of the moisture content from the fruit. After being irradiated, the fruit is then ground into fine particles that are added into a liquid solution consisting of flavouring agents, sweeteners and thickeners. You can identify this juice by pouring it into a clear container and letting it sit overnight. If black, grainy particles settle to the bottom of the cup, the juice has been made with this process. Also, the particles are readily identifiable floating in the juice. This juice may have a good flavour, but at what expense?
CAUTION - The drying or dehydrating process removes nutritional value from the fruit. In addition, it is difficult to determine how much noni you are getting in each serving and some of these products bear a high sugar content as artificial
sweeteners have been added.

Only drink the noni juice that is made from noni fruit puree directly from noni fruit which has been harvested to preserve its nutritive properties. It should never be tampered with - it remains in its liquid state from harvest to bottle, preserving the live compounds for maximum potency. The copmpany should control the process from the noni tree to the consumer’s hands, ensuring the most natural and most nutritive noni product on the market.


Noni products are getting more and more attention all the time. Over the past 6 years, the health and beauty market has become flooded with different noni brands and products. But not all noni products are the same, so it is important to know what to look for before you make your purchase. To find out more about noni and the noni industry, please visit the International
