Noni
Tuesday, July 11, 2006
A historyAncient peoples of what is now known as French Polynesia, colonized islands throughout the South Pacific. As they made their voyages from island to island in the ocean-going canoes, they brought with them sacred plants from their home islands. ??These plants contained the basic foods, construction materials and medicines used by the Polynesian colonizers. Perhaps the most important of these plants is known as Morinda citrifolia . Ancient manuscripts handed down from generation to generation, describe many uses for this plant.
This plant in Malaysia is known as Mengkudu. In Southeast Asia, it is known as Nhau. In the islands of the South Pacific the plant is known as Nonu – in Samoa and Tonga, Nono in Raratonga and Tahiti, and Noni in the Marquesas Islands and Hawaii. Here it has become an integral part of the Polynesian culture. An important source of food, the noni fruit of the Morinda citrifolia tree has been used for centuries as a food source. Early Polynesians recognized its pure value and consumed it in times of famine.

A cancer study:
AntiCancer Activity of Morinda citrifolia on Intraperitoneally Implanted Lewis Lung Carcinoma in Syngenic 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. Ms. Hirazumi became interested in the study of the noni fruit because of earlier experiences with its amazing qualities. Her father helped a good friend with the juice of the noni and later Annie administered the pure noni juice to a pet dog who was dying. The dog recovered miraculously, and Annie set out to find out more about this incredible fruit.?
The study by Ms. Hirazumi and her colleagues was conducted on live laboratory mice (specifically C57BL6 mice) specifically identified as very receptive to injected Lewis Lung Carcinoma cells. The mice were injected with active Lewis Lung Carcinoma cells (LLC). Untreated, the mice died from 9-12 days after injection from the tumor growth. A portion of the injected mice were treated with noni juice in five separate daily treatments. The noni juice was shown to significantly increase the life span of the treated mice (from 105%-123%) with 9 of the 22 mice surviving for more than 50 days. The experiment was repeated on a different lot of mice with similar results. The Research Team concluded that the noni juice: "....seems to act indirectly by enhancing host immune system involving macrophages and/or lymphocytes."
Quality
Remember quality is most important when dealing with your health. When scientists, doctors, researchers do their studies they use the most pure and potent product to do their studies . I have done some research myself and there are few companies that provide 100% Noni
Usually it is watered down with other fruit juices to make it taste better but in doing so takes away many of the health benefits of this amazing product! Dr Lindsey Duncan has formed a new company GenesisToday and with that he has launched Noni100 . checkout : www.askdrlindsey.com
Analysis show that one bottle of Genesis Today NONI100"! is equal to between 3 to 8 bottles of Noni produced and marketed by other companies.
Noni – a drink that will heal, and help you on your way to great health!
