How to prepare NONI Juice? (English)

Noni is generally used for its benefits to health, not for its flavor. The management of the fruit should be very carefully, taking into account that it has a not very pleasant scent.It is important that when you buy the fruit: knows where it comes from, whether chemical or pesticide has been used during the growth of the fruit, which is the correct species, which is the size of an adult fruit.It is recommended that if you don't know the details above, you buy Noni juice in a pharmacy or establishment. Although natural Noni juice is always much better.You can prepare various forms Noni juice, this is one of them: use an adult fruit. Depending on the size of the Noni, it is possible that it needs to use more than one fruit. Crush the full fruit in a blender, and diluyalo with water or fruit juice favorite. Preferably don't use sugar. Cuelelo and take it.We recommend juice of grapes, papaya, passion fruit and pineapple juice. While Noni it more dilute, thin leaves, and the concentration of Noni by dose is lower.

For over forty years, general physicians and researchers worldwide are studying the properties of Noni. (English)

Its scientific name is Morinda citrifolia, a plant native to Panama, Polynesia, Malaysia, Australia, India, Southeast Asia and Central America. Was used for many centuries by the natives of different parts of the world to treat many diseases.

It is about the size of a potato, it looks lumpy with a translucent, waxy shell. Its color varies from green to black. It has a strong odor and stale, like cheese. It is especially tasty.

Studies on Noni demonstrate their potential to stimulate the immune system, inhibit tumor growth, regulate the cell function, regenerate damaged cells and provide the necessary xeronine body from other substances detailed below.

Xeronine is a substance that helps the body's proteins to function properly. This is found in small amounts in the Noni, but he is its precursor in the liver proxeronina becomes xeronine.

When we drink the juice from the Noni fruit, proxeronine passes through our digestive system and into our intestines, where it is sent to our liver.
The liver is the main storehouse for many essential nutrients that we take into our bodies.
Every two hours the liver must release a certain amount of this proxeronine into the bloodstream where it is converted to xeronine.

Through xeronine blood is transported to various tissues of the body. Then it is combined with serotonin, a hormone produced primarily in the brain to regulate various body functions such as mood, sleep and more.
Once this xeronine is formed combines with many proteins in the body. These proteins require xeronine to function properly.
Many of these proteins can not perform their duties without xeronine.
Not all the proteins required to function xeronina but many vital proteins acting as hormones, antibodies and enzymes need xeronine.

 

News Studies (English)

Natural and herbal products have been used for centuries throughout the world, in all cultures, from China to the Pre-Columbian peoples.
The scientific community, rather skeptical, has begun to show increasing interest in these products, while its benefits are disclosed by the media like magazines and TV documentaries.
According to traditional Chinese medicine and Western advanced studies, cancer occurs when a mass of cells of a tissue becomes so toxic and so devoid of organic food can not breathe properly, ie, it can eliminate waste and absorb nutrients. For this reason, these cells literally "ferment" in their own toxins, mutate and become cancerous tumor.
This condition may be due to several factors: its primary cause is a chronic malnutrition, over-cooked meat and eggs, starches and refined sugars, and insufficient raw foods, enzymes and nutrients. Poor circulation of the essence and the energy due to lack of exercise and shallow breathing is another contributing factor. Chronic stress and depression also play a role, as contaminate the bloodstream with toxic byproducts of adrenaline and other reactions of "fight or flight".
Noni began to capture the interest of researchers and scientists around the world in this century, and one by one, studies have revealed the wonderful qualities of Noni fruit.
Below are 3 of the most important studies in this regard:
Dr. Ralph Heinicke. Xeronine and regeneration of cells. As a researcher in Hawaii, Dr. Ralph Heinicke discovered the wonderful benefits of the Noni fruit and set out to find the active pharmaceutical ingredient of Noni. Dr. Heinicke had studied for 45 years the effects of alkaloid he discovered and named xeronine. Xeronine is a relatively small alkaloid which is physiologically very active and important for the proper function of all body cells. In this study, Dr. Heinicke found Noni juice contains appreciable amounts of the precursor of xeronine, which he named "pro-xeronine." The pro-xeronine releases pure xeronine in the intestines by contact with a particular enzyme also found in Noni juice.
Anticancer activity
Morinda citrifolia in the Lewis Lung carcinoma implanted intraperitoneally in syngeneic mice. A. Hirazumi, E. Furusawa, S.C. Chou & Y. Hokama, Proc. West. Pharmacol. Soc 37: 145-146 (1994). This is a very significant study by a team of researchers from the University of Hawaii led by Annie Hirazumi. The study by Ms. Hirazumi and colleagues was conducted in laboratory mice (C57BL6 mice specifically), identified as responsive to the cells either injected Lewis Lung Carcinoma. Mice were injected with active cells of Lewis Lung carcinoma (LLC). Without treatment, the mice died between 9 and 12 days after injection of tumor growth. A portion of the injected mice were treated with Noni juice in five separate daily treatments. Noni juice showed a significant increase in lifespan of mice in the experiment (105% -123%), with a total of 9 of the 22 mice surviving for more than 50 days. The experiment was repeated in a different batch of mice, with similar results. The research team concluded that the Noni juice, "seems to act indirectly to enhance the immune system involving macrophages and / or lymphocytes."

Myth and reality of Morinda citrifolia L. (Noni) (English)

Summary

Background: Morinda citrifolia L. is a traditional medicinal plant, to which ascribe several properties, but there are few published studies that scientifically validate its use.
Objective: To review and update the scientific information that can attest to the medical use of the species, particularly fruit. Methods: We used the keywords Morinda citrifolia, Morinda Morinda bracteata litoralis or to conduct a review in the available databases (PubMed, Cochrane, ESBCO, SciELO, LILACS, CUMED, MEDNAT, RECUE). From the results, were searched for original articles and analyzed the information to associate each ethnomedical use with scientific research that could validate their pharmacological and toxicological safety.
Results: We found a total of 47 references in the databases consulted. Only 5 endorsed, mainly in preclinical models in vitro, the pharmacological activities of the fruit juice for ethnomedical uses related to cancer and immunostimulation, as well as pain and inflammation. Job security was sustained for only 1 acute oral toxicity work carried out with ethanolic extract of fruit and 1 article reported on a patient with chronic renal failure and health problems observed with the ingestion of the juice. The leaves and roots of the plant are less researched than the fruit.
Conclusions: The available scientific information, not to validate the use and safety of traditional use of Morinda citrifolia, because it is limited to studies
Preclinical pharmacological and toxicological research, supporting the safety, are insufficient.

Keywords: Morinda citrifolia, herbal medicine, herbal remedies, complementary medicine, ethnomedicine, toxicity.

There is a growing popular interest in and use the fruit of Morinda citrifolia L. (Syn, Morinda bracteata Roxb. Morinda litoralis and White), family Rubiaceae, has been promoted by various popular publications, including the press, reporting, or rather misinform, to the public on alleged scientifically proven properties that have that species, and some even claim that the figure reached more than 120 health problems which can be treated, even cured, with the plant and its extracts.

Noni, one of its popular names, is one of the most important traditional medicinal plants in Polynesia, where the information is focused primarily on the topical application of the leaves, roots, bark and green fruit. However, it is reported that this pattern has changed towards the use of use of the fruit juice, ripe or in a state of putrefaction, in Hawaii during recent years. Some research publications attributed to Ralph M. Heinicke, based on traditional Polynesian uses, have been a promoter of the use of noni in various indications, including cancer treatment emerging from research results. 

The traditional use of noni by Polynesians related effects attributed antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antitumor, anthelmintic, analgesic, antiinflammatory, antihypertensive and immunostimulant, is said to be used for more than 2 000 years. 2

Many health professionals are consulted by their patients and friends about the truth or not such effects and these are devoid of adequate scientific information that will enable a rational response, leading often to give answers that start " I think ... " or "I do not think ..." or simply say "no."

The problem can not be seen in a simple manner, it is not the phrase to be or not to be the illustrious English writer Shakespeare, nor is it a matter of "believing or not believing" as if it were addressed as a philosophical problem of dogmatic in which it decides to accept a myth or refute a priori.

Medicine is a science and decisions have to be supported by research. Every day, advances in medicine method based on events or results, such as items to make the best decision when choosing a behavior, therapeutic or diagnostic, before a health problem.

Available literature on the subject in question, are scattered and many are for specialties that are not available to physicians in clinical practice.

Irrational use of both drugs as medicinal plants or other procedures, it is the opinion of the authors universalized health problem. The World Health Organization recently published a document that addresses this situation for traditional and complementary medicine. 3

Another related, but not least, is given in experience "good" anecdotal personal, medical, or people who have self-medicated with the administration of fruit juice or other parts of M. citrifolia. Those who know, at least elementally the importance of clinical trials, they know that case reports and a series of cases has no scientific value to establish the efficacy and much less the effectiveness of treatment because the expectation of a inadvertently induce favorable response bias in the results that lead to false positives. Perhaps the most misused terms in medicine and pseudo-scientific works are those 2 mentioned above, is often said that one approach is effective or cash without having the results of a clinical trial, with impeccable methodological design to evaluate these goals and then appear show as lacking scientific conclusions. Inferences of this nature, show a lack of knowledge and inexperience of the author of such conclusions. Unfortunately, many colleagues engaged in clinical practice worldwide not know or understand, at least in an elementary way, the methodology for developing a new drug or treatment that includes clinical trials. This deficiency leads to assimilation as "scientifically proven fact" a lot of information they receive by not having developed skills in critical analysis of scientific literature.

The aforementioned reasons, led the authors to perform a search of published scientific papers, in order to review, update and comment on information that would endorse the medical use of the species.

Noni Studies (English)

The scientific community has begun to show increasing interest in these products, as the benefits become more widely known. Noni began to attract the interest of researchers around the world in this century, and one by one, studies have revealed the wonderful qualities of Noni fruit.
Dr. Ralph Heinicke and Ala Palu are working in the extraction and the structure of the Proxeronine and Xeronine. Dr. Anne Hirazuni Kim is continuing work in Noni and the effects on lung cancer cells called Lewis.The Dr. Mian Yin Wong is working on the first human clinical trial using Noni juice from the University of Illinois Rocaford. Studies are underway in the chemopreventive effects of Noni juice in smokers.
Dr. Fugisawa at the University of Hawaii has investigated the effects of Noni juice and chemotherapy drugs to cancer cells in the sarcoma line 180.
Brigham Young University is investigating specifically the COX-II restriction enzymes. As a result of this investigation, these individuals have discovered Noni's ability to restrict COX-II enzymes without disrupting the operation of the enzymes COX-I.
Scientists are also investigating the properties of Noni juice against bacteria, fungi and parasites. Dr. Ho at Rutgers University is doing studies discovered novel components in Noni. Investigations are in the powerful antioxidant properties of Noni. Research scientists are studying the toxicological properties of Noni allerginicitas and genotoxic.

The pro-xeronine releases pure xeronine in the intestines by contact with a particular enzyme also found in Noni juice. Dr. Heinicke's theory is that when xeronine is released, it acts at the molecular level to repair damaged cells. Dr. Heinicke states that the primary function of xeronine is to regulate the rigidity and shape of specific proteins. Because these proteins have different functions in cells, this explains how the administration of Noni Juice causes an unbelievably wide range of physiological responses."Some of the problems that drinking Noni juice can help favorably are: high blood pressure, menstrual cramps, arthritis, gastric ulcers, sprains, mental depression, poor digestion, injury, atherosclerosis, problems with blood valves, senility, drug addiction , relief of pain and many more. Although this list seems to be a page torn out of a manual of a man traveling medicine, is probably conservative. " Dr. Heinicke

What is NONI? (ENGLISH)

Leaves Noni Noni fruit is a natural fruit that enjoys a rich tradition among the peoples of Polynesia. The promotive qualities of Noni have been registered through generations among the peoples of the South Pacific, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, India and the Caribbean Islands.

The native healers of Polynesia share countless traditional uses of noni; they use the noni fruit and juice for several beneficial purposes. Each part of the noni plant has different uses for centuries has served as a dietary supplement, skin moisturizer, nutritious supplement, shampoo and sometimes as a cleaner. This is due to the many applications that the fruit acquires from island to island.

The Tahitian Noni International Company determined that, due to the ideal conditions of climate and soil and because the islands of French Polynesia are still in pristine condition, the best source Tahitian Noni.

The tree to the bottle
To create the success of the harvest and manufacture of Tahitian Noni International, the food research scientists Stephen Story and John Wadsworth carefully studied the noni fruit from the tree, the environment, as did the ancestors Tahitians who used precious fruit. Noni fruit is picked, packed, transported and processed in order to keep intact its natural benefits. Our quality assurance system is responsible for seeing that the properties are preserved.

In conclusion, we have come a long way to ensure that the quality of our product is optimal control of Tahitian Noni International, because we have a complete process control from harvest until the product is in the bottle in the hands of consumers.

Noni (English)

It is considered one of the most beautiful plants in the islands and is an important component of a traditional Polynesian garden. The plant reaches a height of about 15 to 20 feet (5 - 7 meters) and it produces its fruit throughout the year. The tree's flowers are creamy white. When ripe the fruit turns yellow and then white. About the size of a tomato.

The fruit of the Morinda citrifolia plant produces a strong-tasting juice that has been used in Polynesia for over 2000 years for its beneficial health effects.

NONI plant and leaves Traditional healers pick the fruit before it is fully ripe and placed in a flask exposed to direct sunlight. When fully mature a puree of the fruit and the juice is extracted through a cloth. Now the juice is ready for use.

Noni has been held in high esteem in Polynesia for centuries, but until now has never found a market in the Western world. Tahitian Noni International is the first company to offer American consumers Noni.
