Tahitian Noni Juice
What Is Noni ?
It is an evergreen shrub or bush
that can grow to a height of between fifteen to twenty feet.
The fruit looks like a green grenade which is covered with
reddish brown seed pits that give it a lumpy texture. The
fruit starts green, turns yellow, ripens to whiteness &
falls from the tree.
The tree bears fruits all year round. Once one fruit is picked,
a new one will take its place after only three months! The
noni fruit, in its raw form, smells foul & tastes just
as bad.
Noni originated in India, it now grows in various parts of
the world such as French Polynesia (the best known of these
islands is Tahiti), Hawaii, Southeast Asia & etc. It grows
best in mineral-rich volcanic ash.
The earliest reference to noni being used as a medicine dates
back several thousand years to India's Sanskrit writings when
it was used in Ayurvedic medicine. Noni is used in the native
medicinal systems of the islands of the South & Central
Pacific, including Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga & Hawaii, Southeast
Asia for example Malaysia & the Philippines. Parts used
include the bark, leaves, flowers, fruit & seeds.
Noni was, and still is, prescribed by the native Polynesian
healers to treat pain, inflammation, burns, skin problems,
intestinal worms, nausea, food poisoning, fevers, bowel &
menstrual problems, insect & animal bites etc.
According to Dr. Neil Solomon, Noni has been reported to be
safe for pregnant and nursing mothers. Noni can also be taken
with all medications & other food supplements. It is non-addictive.
Nutrients in Noni
Over 150 nutraceuticals have been
found in the noni fruit, some of those identified are : anthraquinones,
beta-carotene, calcium, linoleic acid, magnesium, pectin,
potassium, proline, protein, proxeronine, proxeroninease,
scopoletin, beta-sitosterols, sterols, phenylalanine &
tyrosine, ursolic acid, all the B vitamins & antioxidants
like vitamin C, proanthocyanadins & anthocyanadins.
Benefits of Noni Juine
Our bodies work by biochemical
reactions. Examples include growing hair, digesting food,
healing injuries, fighting infections, walking, thinking,
feeling etc.
There are certain processes in our body that are primary &
supportive of the entire body. Any change in these primary
processes can cause dramatic changes throughout our whole
body & other aspects of our life.
Two of the main primary processes include the processes of
synthesis and of communication. Synthesis include all the
things that our bodies make, for example, proteins, connective
tissues, new cells, hormones, DNA etc.Communication refers
to the flow of chemically controlled information among the
cells, for proper co-ordinated growth of the human body as
a whole.
Globular proteins are the workhorses for both synthesis (enzymes)
& communication (cell wall receptors) processes.Globular
proteins are long strands of amino acids connected like beads
on a string. Big & wobbly, they spend only a very short
time in the precise shape that does most of their intended
work.
More about proteins...
. Enzymes catalyze every biochemical reaction in the body
& the cell wall receptors are responsible for much of
the communication that occurs biochemically in the body.
. To increase the effectiveness of an enzyme or receptor,
our bodies produce a small molecule called xeronine that wedges
itself between the strands of protein, making it more rigid
& hence spending more time in its biochemically efficient
configuration. Dr. Ralph Heinicke, a research biochemist,
pioneered the study of the alkaloid Xeronine.
. Xeronine is produced in the body (large intestine) from
the building blocks Proxeronine, Proxeroninase and Seratonin.
Our bodies contain all of these blocks but proxeronine may
be in short supply. Under usual circumstances, the liver stores
proxeronine, releasing it into the bloodstream every two hours.
Additional quantity of proxeronine required comes from the
food that we eat.
However soil depletion and environmental degradation have
reduced the amount of xeronine building blocks in our food.
Also illnesses, ageing, stresses, highly active lifestyles
etc. have placed an increased demand on the proteins in our
body. To increase the supply of xeronine in our body, more
proxeronine will need to be supplied through our diet.
Noni is found to contain, in abundant quantity, the building
blocks for xeronine, namely proxeronine and the enzymes needed
to convert proxeronine into xeronine, known as proxeronase.
One of the first scientist to research noni was Dr. Ralph
Heinicke.
Noni's 5 Main Uses
1. Daily Tonic - Can be taken
along with other supplements, including vitamins, minerals
& herbs, including: pycnogenal, germanium, vitamins C
& E, chondroitin, aloe vera etc.
- Boosts general health & performance.
- Dramatic improvement in weakened conditions.
- Increased absorption, assimilation, utilization of vitamins,
herbs & minerals.
- Powerful anti-oxidant function for protection from free
radical damage.
2. Analgesic - For treatment of pain & headaches.
- The noni tree is also known as the "Pain & Headache
Tree".
- Beneficial for back & neck pain, muscular & nerve
pain, migraine & tension headaches.
- A 1990 study conducted at the Laboratory of Pharmacosny
of the University of Meets in France found noni to have a
central analgesic effect.
- According to studies reported in the journal Planta Medica
(Analgesic and Behavourial Effects of Morinda Citrifolia;
pg 430-434; Oct 1990), noni has been found to be 75% as effective
as morphine sulphate in relieving pain without the toxic side
effects of morphine. Unlike morphine, noni is not addictive.
3. Immune Support According to clinical trials conducted by
Dr. Schechter, director of the Natural Healing Institute in
California,
- Noni stimulates the production of T-cells in the immune
system. T-cells play a pivotal role in fighting disease.
- Noni acts to enhance the immune system involving macrophages
&/or lymphocytes, which are a vital part of the body's
natural defences.
- Noni has been shown to combat many types of bacteria.
- Noni inhibits precancer function & the growth of cancer
tumours by allowing abnormal cells to function more normally.
4. Anti-inflammatory - Effective for muscular & joints
conditions such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Reduction of pain & swelling in injuries such as bruises,
strains & burns.
- Beneficial for ulcers, cellulitis, scalp conditions, itching
rashes.
- Use as a poultice, applied to the affected skin.
5. Adaptogen (Normalizing Function)
- Helps restore body's internal organs to normal function.
- Scientific documentation of benefits for gastrointestinal
system (diarrhea, heartburn, nausea, colitis, ulcers), reproductive
organs (menstrual problems, fibroids, yeast infections), liver
& pancreas (diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis), respiratory
system (asthma, sinusitis, emphysema), endocrine system (thyroid
& adrenal disease), cardiovascular system (heart disease,
high blood pressure, stroke), nervous system (stress, depression,
memory, sex drive, energy) etc.
- Isolation of the compound from noni called scopoletin by
the University of Hawaii in 1993 attributes the new compound
to lowering blood pressure, reducing inflammation, killing
bacteria & fungi & preventing tumour growth.
- The phytonutrient, damnacanthal, found in noni, was found
to be an inhibitor of some precancerous cells. Reference :
"Induction of normal phenotypes in ras-transformed cells
by damnacanthal from Morinda citrifolia" Hiramatsu T,
et al. Cancer Letters (1993) 75:161-166
Antibacterial, Antifungal & Antiparasitic Agent
With the presence of active components like anthraquinones,
scopoletin and terpenes (e.g. beta-carotene & ursolic
acid), Noni is effective against bacteria and fungus.
Extracts of damnacanthal, one of the anthraquinone compounds
have been shown to kill the parasite responsible for malaria
called Plasmodium falciparum. Reference : The Medical Parasitology,
The C.V. Mosby Company, London (1971)
Damnacanthal is also potent against leishmaniasis, a parasite
condition.
Noni proved to be vigorous in its antiparasitic action when
an alcoholic extract consisting of morinda citrirolia and
other plants was tested against the human parasite worm called
Ascaris lumbricoides. Reference : "Screening of indigenous
plants for anthelmintic action against human Ascaris lumbricoides:
Part II" Indian J Physiol Pharmacol (1975) 19:unknown
The Noni plant has brought hope
and helpful benefits to people for the past 2,000 years. It
is not completely understood how Noni juice works in the human
body, but several scientific studies, as well as anecdotal
evidence from Noni juice consumer testimonies, say it works.
In the past 50 years, scientists
and researchers around the world have begun to better understand
how the compounds found in Noni fruit work. The majority of
the published research has come from researchers at the University
of Hawaii School of Medicine, as well as other laboratories
in France and Japan.
World reknowned Noni expert, Dr.
Neil Solomon, collected data from over 200 health professionals
representing 20,000 people who drank Noni juice. In his book,
TAHITIAN NONI JUICE, he tabulated results from this pool of
people who experienced objective and/or subjective improvements
after drinking TAHITIAN NONI juice.
