Noni Juice cured the pain from osteoarthritis; also, no colds or flu for the last year. After a few days of taking tahitian noni juice, I was able to stop using my cane, take longer walks, get up and down stairs better. I'm no longer on any meds for my knee. It also helps me to sleep soundly all night. I've been taking a maintenence dose of 2 TB twice daily for about 3-4 years. My family uses noni juice and noni cream for all sorts of first aid remedies....it also cured a friend of ulcers.
Blood Pressure
Posted by Don (Melbourne, Australia) on 04/18/2013
Today I turned 47, but in 2002 my BP was 190/140 sugar levels through the roof and cholestoral way too high. 11 years of daily drinking 1-2oz of a noni juice from Tahiti, and my BP is around 140/85, (still high but I am 125kg or 280lbs or so) - cholestoral is fine and sugars so close to normal doctor isnt worried. Although I've added 20kg in that 11 years, I have more energy than before, and I laugh at those who get a cold or the flu (I may get a sniffle for 24hrs, but that is rare) I have never taken prescribed meds for any of the above issues...

Hello I know for sure is a yea. Why? Because both my parents use to take more than 10 pills daily back in 1997, now my mom only takes 6 ounce of noni juice daily my dad's the same thing. My mom had heart problems, thyroid, high blood pressure and so on. My dad had arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetic. Before, everytime they miss a pill out of the 10 plus I was talking about they get sick. To me its very simple. FDA will never approve noni or accept the the goodness of it cause of political reasons and also a pay cut for them and the doctors. Noni has been good to me my wife and our 7 kids, and even my parents. Natural cure is better than most medicine but they wont tell us that. Thank you very much. God Bless

I've been taking noni for about 3 years. Before starting on noni I had a hard time getting up out of chairs or even bed without hurting and moving like a really old person. Now I move up stairs without hanging onto the handrail and sometimes stopping halfway. Works for me!
Heartburn
Posted by Barbie (Manila, Philippines) on 10/05/2009
HI, I have had GERD for about 9years and spent a lot of money in the hospital, underwent laboratory rocedures, medcations, water theraphy for years as well as taking leafy vegestables for 1 year. I also had chronic bad breath for about 11 years now. these two things made my social life miserable. Till my faith of continue taking natural remedy to cure the GERD. First, I'd like to explain how patients experience the food from the stomach rise up to the esophagus (reflux) and the abdominal pain whenever we eat or hungry is simply because when the lower esophageal sphincter doesn't function properly, acid and food can reflux up from the stomach into the esophagus. This can lead to pain (heartburn) and damage to the lower esophagus. This damage can cause strictures (narrowing) of the esophagus, and eventually, cancer of the esophagus. Frequently, dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter is associated with a hiatal hernia, in which the lower esophagus and upper part of the stomach slips up into the chest. I TRIED TAKING OATMEAL AS HOT BEVERAGE AND GRADUALLY IT HEALED MY GERD. I STARTED TAKING OATMEAL WITHOUT SUGAR AND FLAVOR FOR YEARS, AND NOW, I'M FREE OF GERD. I CAN EAT WHATEVER I WANT. At first those who suffer from GERD MUST AVOID ALL TOMATO BASE FOODS, OILY, MILK, COFFE, JUICES AND OTHER DAIRY PRODUCTS becaue it trigger the feeling of bloatedness, and the food are unable to dissolve within 3hours. Foods must be dissolve from the stomach within 1 hour and goes down to the small intestine for another routine. i just wnat to share this. i hope this will help to those who have GERD. I'm now free from GERD but still on battling my chronic bb and the problem is within my tongue...I hope I could find remedy to it. thanks

Donna from Aspen Co .... lol you may have been in Tahiti I have been there twice .... and your wrong on a few accounts ... so you talked to a few people and based your information on that, silly. Did you even see a noni plant? If you did you would know it is a TREE that can grow up to 30 or 40 feet tall Most are in the 15 to 20 foot range the taller ones are much older trees.
Trees and weeds don't look the same. My noni came from and comes from noni trees not noni weeds. I will say the plant grows extremely well and fast so yes the locals say it grows like a weed. It is not a weed. Donna, get your facts straight before you put falsehoods in peoples minds, and yes lots of weeds are good for us as mentioned in another post.
Why don't these people in the island buy noni juice hahaha because it grows everywhere and they can pick it 24/7 365 days a yr because it is an ever bearing fruit .... pick a ripe one 3 months later you pick another also on the same Tree(not weed donna) is a bud, a bloom a small fruit a bigger fruit and a ripe fruit all at the same time, truly amazing. So no need to buy it. Also some don't like the smell and won't take it unless they are sick, some take it only when sick or cut or insect bites etc and others take noni fruit and juice daily to stay healthy or help with some on going health issues.
Yes they used to cut it down for several reasons you don't know about or mention. They do cut it down or cut it back because it does grow so fast, and yes because the smell of ripening fruit smells like a strong stinky cheese. Because there was NO MARKET for noni, they also cut the trees down. Not untill two very bright Mormon food scientists who had developed many food, supplements, and additives for many clients in the food and nutriental field ever introduced to noni and studied it it piqued their interest to go to tahiti and talk with many people from old ladies that use noni for cures to others and thats when they decided to R&D Noni Juice specifly Tahitian Noni because there are so many Islands many with few people and covered in Noni trees enough to supply a growing company and the world without running out (Hawaii has how many islands 6 and more populated then French Polynesia) I know people here with gooseberry bushes, red current bushes walnut trees and other things like pears or apple /plum trees in their yards yet eat very little of the fruits and nuts they bear ... so Donna why would the Tahitian people munch on noni fruit daily???? Right, does that mean it has no value as food or medicinal? No
Oh my gosh people who have lived with this fruit for thousands of yrs and when they traveled from island to island always took the noni seeds and seedlings with them because they were so revered makes me laugh the people heard it from the mormon church the men R&Ding noni are mormons the church has nothing to do with educating the native peoples on Noni you keep mentioning the mormon church stop it! And no I'm not mormon but the church has as much to do with noni from tahiti as you do with noni from tahiti. They have used it for thousands of years it was and is their medicine among other plants they use coconuts for many thing too and I highly doubt you talked to everyone on the island like you said you did unless there were less then 20 people living there.
Ah the money making part whats your solution to help the Tahitian people earning more money Mining, logging, car industry, ship building how about tourism and fishing maybe a few McDonalds restaurant? Noni grows in abundance with no market of course they cut it down but once Yes the TWO Mormon scientists discovered all the health benefits and did 3 yrs worth of work before they sold their first Non Mormon church bottle of Noni it became an instant health success in USA first then Canada and then many other countries clammered to bring Tahitian Noni Juice to their counrty next. This provided income for a fruit that was litterly falling off the trees (not weeds donna) and rotting to now suppling needed income to the peoples of these other islands like marquisis mainly and very quickly became Tahiti and French Polynesia's number one income earner, raising the standard of living of many families ... one cop quit his job as a cop because he was making more money picking noni fruit his family all got involved and doing very well. Other families have loved ones coming back to Tahiti and other islands because their families have enough money to live and their kids don't need to find jobs in other countries ..... Tourism Tahiti and French Polynesia can only accomadate so many visitors per year there infrastature can not handle any more so Noni crops are a huge boom for the country and you make it sound like a bad thing when it is the futherest from the truth. with out noni fruit exports that country would really be hurting as you know a trip to Tahiti, Moorea Bora Bora is on the expensive side ....
You say is it only for the money who are you referring to?? The Polynesians wanting and needing a new income stream for family and country, a way to get rid of a medicinal plant with amazing healing properties people world wide would like to know about and buy for their health and the health of their child or loved one?
Or the 5 Five Founders who had vision to bring something good to the world who happened to find and market a great health product that many hundreds of thousands of people and more buy to feel better or "cure" some dis~ease in their body, who just happened to be Mormon .... would it be more pleasing to you if they were Muslim, or Irish Catholic or Buddists, maybe even Christian or Satanist/Athiest would be more to your liking, since you pointed that out they were the Mormon Church .... again donna the Mormon church has nothing to do with picking and marketing noni in French Polynesia, these 5 partners happen to live in Utah and happen to be Mormons that go to a Mormon church that most likely is not in Salt Lake City as they all live an hour or more away.
I did a little experiment myself I picked a noni fruit in may 2000 this may 2015 is 15 yrs old and not one speck of mold has grown on this fruit in 15 yrs its been out of my fridge since 2007 opened and closed dozens of times and Not one speck of mold anywhere in the jar, on the fruit, the lid or the sides name one fruit/food that has that kind of properties to inhibit mold grow for more then a few weeks .... honey and noni the only two I know.
I think I have clarified most of which you wrote about the Tahitian Noni Company has added many jobs, and processing plant, harbour upgrade at/near the processing plant on Tahiti, taxes, tourism and business trips all which add clean jobs, and revenue for the government. Who is grateful an unutilized resourse for thousands of years has become a cash cow because people around the world love their noni juice and how it makes them feel and I'll bet few if any think like you noni is brought to you via the Mormon Church, they the founders have good hearts and they know they have done good in this world.
I have seen too many good things noni juice has done in peoples lives to believe one word of those that speak badly about something the creator put on this planet for us to use .... Best pharmacy in the world? God's pharmacy because he didn't make no junk

Hi everyone I was diagnosed with Aml a little over a year ago, I started taking Noni but being diabectic it kept my sugar up. I dont know if it was beneficial or not.I started using the noni without all of the taste good ingredients, this stuff is tough to drink but since i have been on it, (about 6 Months )I have stop taking my blood pressure Meds as my blood pressure is usually 110/76, Not bad for a 70 year old guy. Is Noni the reason?, I dont know but i will not quit taking it. My red blood cells are still low but i feel that i will overcome that also if i would excercise I take 2oz in the mornings before meals, which is usually a smoothie. Moman

About 10 years ago I got diverticulitis and peritonitis and was hospitalized for a week. My doctor told me that I would need an operation on my colon once I got healthier. My friend gave me some homemade noni juice to drink every morning and I took it for the 6 months after my hospital stay. When I went back to the doctor for a 6 month check up and to schedule the surgery, I no longer had any bad spots left on my colon. There was no reason to have surgery. My doctor put up the before and current xrays of my colon and asked me "What the heck did I do to cure myself like that!" I now make it myself and take it every morning.

I bought some Noni capsules just as a tonic and possible colon cleanser. After having only taken 1 capsule per day for 3 days I feel better have more energy and amazingly my desire to smoke has diminished down to 2 per day. And I actually forget that I am a smoker! I also had a stubborn little discoloration on my face for over 2 years that I would put make up on. I went to put make up on it and was thrilled to see it was no longer there. They say Noni is good for the skin, internal parasites and for addictions. I solemnley swear in my experience it does definitley work for those three things.

I am a cancer patient and as a result of the meds I have to take I sometimes after months of treatment end up having to take something for constipation. I use a shot glass and take Noni juice twice a day. I happen to use a double shot. twice a day. But then I am also taking some strong pain pills (which tend to cause constipation). When I use my Noni faithfully I do not have near the problems. If the constipation is persistent I eat fresh peaches or grapes with it. I also give Noni to my granddaughter who is 7 years old and has had problems in the past and we have really noticed a difference with 1 shot a day as maintenance for her.

A close, young relative of mine has cancer of the throat, jaw, tongue, etc. He is in the final stages of the disease and was told the treatments were not working.. He is now taking Noni juice through his Gastric Feeding tube and seems to be improving. The tumors seemed to have shrunk... the lesions are draining...he had been given the last rights.... he wanted to look in the mirror after the tumors shrunk..., he is writing notes again and is resting more comfortably and he is on pain medications also... It will be a Miracle for sure if the Noni cures him.

You simply shouldn't write negative stuff like this without sufficient research. And in regards to Noni Juice, I would say you need to try it for 12 months, religiously, and then you will have the ability to honestly review it, from a personal aspect. But don't stop there, you should also interview other people, who you trust to be honest, who have also used this juice for more than a year religiously. Then, you might have something useful to say.
There was a time that most rational people thought the World was flat. A time when it just simply didn't make sense to believe the World was round. And it wasn't until the World was circumnavigated that people sat up and said, "Well, then, maybe all this time, we were wrong."!
Sometimes you have to do the hard yards to know the truth. Sometimes science doesn't have the ability to understand why something works.
I have used Noni Juice for 15 years. It works for me. It's incredible, I don't sell it, and I have tried many types of herbs and natural medicines. Some things don't work. Some brands of Noni don't work. Could have something to do with how it is created, reconstituted, heated or whatever. All I know is that some brands have always worked for me. It's fantastic juice. It stops me from getting the flu, gives me energy plus many other benefits. Please don't scare people away from trying this juice. You are doing people a disservice.

a couple of yrs. ago, i ordered proxenal via internet contains morinda citrofolia or noni plant. i took it for exactly 45 days and the roots of my white/grey hair started turning glossy and dark like a young person. well, at the time i liked my grey hair and stopped immediately. Lately, i wanted to try to get some dark hair but couldn't remember the name of the product and started black strap molasses. After reading about Noni juice the morinda citrofolia name rang a bell and i found proxenal again on line only being upgraded to proxicine. When i purchased the proxenal, it was advertised to be the only vitamin/mineral the human body needs.I didn't notice real dramatic changes in energy level like i have had with BSM, and ACV, but the dark hair roots was really noticeable

I'm sad to hear that, but perhaps you can try the juice again at 1ox and see the diferrence, perhaps even it can cure your condition at therapeutic dossage...

all of you with gerd, hiatal hernias and indigestion need to start out with one oz of fresh squeezed wheat grass. Read up on what good wheat grass should look like and go to your local smootie shops to look for it. I gaurantee it will heal all of these complaints. You must however cut out all the acid junk from your diet. Look up an alkaline diet. I've studied these topics for years and years. I had all these above mentioned problems and cured them all. The only issue is when you go on a healthier alkaline diet and add one oz of wheat grass at least five times a week, you will start to detox. Stick with it. It will change your life. You may find it unpleasant or burp it up at first.. But take it on an empty stomache earlier in the day when ur up and about.. Eat about hour n half after. Within two weeks you wont feel your gerd, or indigestion as long as you adhear to a better diet cutting out all the acid foods. Look up acid alkaline charts. Change your life! You can do it! It will work!!

Maybe you were sensitive, or allergic to Noni? It's better to start off with small doses of anyway.
I've had obvious positive benefits from drinking the juice. Mostly to do with increased enery levels and no episodes of the flu. I have tried a lot of differrent brands of Noni juice, and I find the reconstituted ones don't seem to work for me. The brands mixed with other juices seemed just fine though.
Detox

In the first instance I found Noni amazing. I was suffering from thrush, & tiredness etc. I stayed on it for about 3 months for 'detox';and it got rid of waste like no other.(parasites included, saw them in the loo bowl)
I gained new energy levels and mood improved. My partner also went on it for weight-loss and deep cleansing. He was very happy with the results since he did not drop his in-take of food or do any exercise.
However and I don't know why I have felt further treatments of noni since have not given the same amazing 'oomf' of energy. I have definitely noticed it pays to get a high-quality Noni (like a rich dark coloured syrup) as other makes of noni are simply watered down hence far less effective (& weak) in treatment. cheers,

I planted a noni tree in my back yard about 10 years ago. It is huge now. Gives me all the noni I need. We harvest it and let it ripen until it stinks. Then we put it in a bowl in the frig and after about 2 months, this brown liquid has formed at the bottom of the bowl. Then we put it through the juicer. Using about 2 tablespoons in a small glass of grape juice (optional) on an empty stomach. This stuff is amazing! Good luck!

Posted by Tony (Tn, Usa) on 02/08/2014
Hello Nicola from Dungannon, Northern Ireland:
The type of Noni that's best is from Hawaii. Look for either Aloha Noni or just Hawaiin Noni. I would also suggest you to buy the glass bottled type and not plastic. There are also options to buy either standard Noni or organic Noni. If you can afford it I'd suggest the organic Noni. You can also buy Noni in capsule/pill form as well.
However, I think the better option is to buy it in the liquid form. It's better absorbed this way. The recommended dosage varies for whatever you're treating. Noni is great for pain and inflammation which are certainly symptoms associated with any type of cancer. Since this is a cancer question, as much as 6-8 oz.+ can be taken daily. Start lower and work up. The maintenance dose is usually around 1-2 oz. daily. Hope this helps! God Bless and Good Luck!

I worked a long time in geriatric healthcare. A woman who was a herbalist with healing remedies, brought a bottle of this Noni juice in and requested it be given to her mom (advanced dementia) 2oz daily. Much to the furrowed brows of us all non-believers in 'snake oil potions'. We had to mix in her thickened fluids. I have noticed alot of meds and potions my way, and watched the long term effects. But I have to say, for a bedridden/WC bound pt. I was amazed at what was happening. Just over a week she had energy to eat. After a couple of weeks clarity in eyes, responsive. After a couple months. Clean, clear glowing skin. The were no spider veins or varicose veins. I didn't notice her legs before hand, but I can say, they were that of a 30 yr old. The darkness was coming back in her hair. And just to be sure im not imagining this, I looking at her complete bloodwork 6 mths later and a values were normal range. We were all baffled, she had the best results in the facility. No UTI ever!!! Ohh! It gets better, the flu went around. All she got was slight increase in temp for couple days.
Yes we are believers. We bought a bottle and shared. I noticed alot of phlegm coming up my throat first couple days, then increased energy, skin looked better. Bought more and stayed on for the month. One morning, I walked outside and slipped on ice, did the splits. After, I felt a bump in my groin/right inner thigh. The next day the bump was there, but no pain. My hockey player hubby couldn't understand why I wasn't in excruciating pain. 2 days later after the injury, I finished the Noni juice bottle in the morning. Then the next morning, I woke up in agony, like I was giving birth. I believe in NONI juice.
Heartburn
Posted by Linda (Atlanta, GA) on 06/20/2007
★☆☆☆☆
I have had heartburn from time to time over the years. Then I married a man who was always positive that his health was far better than mine - or anyone else's. In fact he talked as if I had one foot in the grave at the age of 32. He was always trying one obscure allopathic drug, remedy, herb, etc. He had read about a juice that according to a magazine of case studies that was produced by a company that sold the juice, it was such a miraculous health elixir that it could even cure cancer if taken in large amounts. All he talked about for a year was that juice and how I needed to try it. It was expensive and that was my excuse for a while. Finally I decided to humor him and drink the juice. If it didn't improve anything then at least I would hear no more talk of it. If it did improve my health overall then I would be a believer. The dosage of this juice was 1 - 2 ounces per day, but my husband insisted that I drink 16 ounces per day - because I was in such bad health (which was not true). I drank the awful juice and immediately had fire-breathing dragon heartburn. It was extremely painful but my husband insisted that it was the toxins coming out of my body - I should just stay with it and the heartburn would subside and my general health problems will disappear. The juice tasted like dilled blueberries but was supposedly made from some rare fruit on an island called noni fruit. I humored my husband at the expensive of my own personal discomfort of dealing with continual - non ending, severe heartburn day and night. After 4 cases of the juice had been consumed and there were no health benefits shown, but one new health problem (severe heartburn) I told my husband enough is enough - I will not drink that fire-breathing dragon juice ever again and I don't want to hear a single word about it ever again. I stopped drinking the juice but the severe heartburn did not go away. I gave it some time - to get it out of my system. Still had it - though not fire-breathing, scorching hot as before, but still severe. I began drinking baking soda mixed with water to ease the pain, but this only lasted a few hours at best - same with antacids. My doctor prescribed Previcid and that helped. It was great to live without heartburn but then I stopped taking the prescription because I do not want to take a pill every day for the rest of my life - that surely would damage my liver over time and cause a serious health problem. It has now been years since my last sip of the noni fruit juice and I sit here at 4 AM telling you my story because I went online in search of a home remedy for acid reflux that is longer lasting than baking soda and a better alternative than pills but instead found this site - saw you were looking for answers on why there is an increase in the cases of GERD over the last 30 years and thought I'd offer my personal experience of how an abundance of a juice making fantastic claims changed my life by giving me a permanent health issue - GERD. I believe if we expose ourselves to the wrong foods/drinks/ingredients over an extended period of time, we can cause a great variety of harm to out digestive system. What is wrong for one person may not be wrong for another. We are all different and I think we have come to assume through the practice of medicine and self medication from the readily available plethora of over the counter medications, we have begun to ignore the natural signals our bodies use to alert us to problems. After the first 1 - 2 days of fire-breathing dragon heartburn that began immediately after drinking the juice until it later became constant, I should have listened to my body - not my husband and stopped drinking it. There was obviously an ingredient in that juice that was reacting with my normal PH levels or something else within my stomach and/or esophogus in a very bad way.

I am a native of Jamaica and Noni juice is by far the best natural remedy ever. Growing up I remember my Grandmother stored the fruit in a jar and allowed it to ferment, sure the smell and taste might be unbearable at first but after a while you will learn to acquire the taste and smell. I know that this fruit works wonders because I have seen my whole family grow up on it and its healing properties are wonderful. I would recommend this fruit above any prescibed drugs.

First couple days, 1oz or 1 oz twice a day then increase 2 oz once or twice a day up to 6 oz per day or more ... drink lots of water, this also helps detox the arthritis and toxins from the body. 1 oz for half your body weight or 2 litres/quarts per day sip the water and add one or 2 oz to the water so you get the benefits of noni throughout the day, .... best to hold the noni juice under the tongue for a minute or longer before swallowing the added benefit is it gets into the blood stream faster then if you swallow it .... also soak a gauze cloth and place it ontop of the arthritic area, mix Noni Juice into a good skin cream and rub that into the affected area a couple times a day ... or straight noni juice rubbed into the arthritic area ....
One company has a great noni skin cream and some ppl get arthritis relief just rubbing on the Noni cream .... hope this helps ...
ps.... bedtime take 1 oz or rub in or put noni soaked gauze over the area or soak cotton ball and tape it in the belly button. Noni will work in the body/cells to correct the cause of the arthritis .... look on line for healthy foods or diet changes ..... a doctor of Naturapathy told me some foods we like to eat we are allergic to we don't break out in hives but it causes problems like inflamation in joints, muscles, headaches, migrains, stomach, bowel issues, being tired etc ..... this was my dad's problem 6 or more things he likes to eat and drink actually caused his many health symptoms. When he stopped eating the foods that the food allergist told him to stop he detoxed and all symtoms went away he never saw his doctor for over one and a half years .... amazing what foods we like to eat can harm us .... hope this helps.
