Remedies Noni
What
is Noni?
Used by
Polynesian healers for thousands of years, the Noni tree bears fruit
365 days a year. This exuberance carries a vitality that, once
imbibed, encourages you, at the deepest level of depletion, to begin
the journey of regeneration and revitalisation. This renewed
enthusiasm is where healing begins - with a deep and powerful love
of life.
Noni can
both initiate and enhance feeling good via its ability to stimulate
our bodies to produce serotonin which is known as the "mood
molecule" because it modulates raw information and gives it
emotional tone.
Your
mood is like a symphony and serotonin is like the conductor's baton.
Low
serotonin levels in the brain are linked to clinical depression,
suicidal tendencies, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive
behaviours, (such as over-eating), bulimia, schizophrenia, sleep
problems, migraine headaches, autism, drug and alcohol addictions,
Alzheimer's disease and patterns of violent behaviour.
Raising
serotonin levels can miraculously make the above disappear. Prozac
(with all its side effects) is the answer from the drug companies;
Organic Noni Juice (with a bounty of fringe benefits) is the answer
from God/Goddess/All That is.
As I
said the Noni tree is the only tree in the world that bears fruit
365 days a year. This is the kind of joyful, playful, fruitful
energy we are dealing with here. It also has an amazing list of
biochemical properties that mean it is indicated as being applicable
for more conditions than any other natural product in the world
(that I know of).
As well
as xeronine (which among its many benefits repairs protein cells),
other compounds found in Noni include Scopoletin which has
anti-inflammatory, anti-histamine, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal
properties. It also lowers blood pressure, binds to serotonin to
help regulate sleep, hunger and temperature. The Anthraqunone in
Noni controls infectious bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, E
Coli and Salmonella. Noni's Damnacanthal inhibits the growth of
pre-cancerous cells while its Terpenes helps with cell rejuvenation
and its Phytonutrients and Selenium provide protection against free
radicals. The entire endocrine system gets a boost from Noni which
has beneficial effects on the pineal gland, the thymus gland, the
pancreas, adrenal glands and both male and female sex organs.

Function
Research
indicates that Noni stimulates the immune system, regulating cell
function and cellular regeneration of damaged cells. The fact that
Noni seems to operate on the very basic and critical cellular level
may explain why it is useful for a wide variety of conditions.
Actually, Noni has over a hundred primary and secondary
applications.
- Lowers high blood pressure.
- Works with melatonin and serotonin to
help regulate sleep, temperature and mood cycles.
- Increases body energy.
- Acts as anti-inflammatory and
anti-histaminic agent.
- Alleviates pain.
- Has anti-bacterial properties that can
protect against digestive and heart damage.
- Inhibits precancer function and growth
of cancer tumours.

How
much should I take?
The
following is an excellent rule of thumb, which will help you gauge
how much you may want to drink for your own unique health concerns.
Determining how much you want to consume will also help you estimate
how much money you may want to allocate monthly for the Noni.
- If you have no
serious or bothersome health concerns and you're really just
interested in Noni for its general health benefits and wellness
support, or if you have only minor "this & thats"
you'd like to see decrease or disappear, you may want to take
only 1-2 ounces per day of the juice.
- If you have
uncomfortable, but not life-threatening, health concerns, or if
1-2 ounces a day does not give you the results you'd like, you
may want to take 3-5 ounces a day.
- If you have a
chronic or an acute health concern, or if your health concern is
life-threatening, you may want to take 6-8 ounces a day.
These are the
guidelines that seem to work well for the majority of people who use
Noni regularly. You can decide for yourself where you fit in, and
weigh that against your budget, and then order your product
accordingly. Remember that, for each ounce you drink a day, you will
use roughly one bottle of Noni a month.
Remember too that
both the and the Hawaiian Noni are completely free of preservatives
so be sure to keep your bottle in the fridge once it has been
opened.

*Pooled percentage of
people who experienced objective and/or subjective improvement of
their symptoms after taking Noni. The majority of Noni users who did
not get optimal results failed to do so because they took a lesser
dose and/or took it for a shorter time than what was recommended, or
simply responded for unknowable reasons
