Noni and Its uses

Noni is a Plant called as Morinda citrifolia,its sanskrit name is Aashyuka. Common name Indian Mulberry.

Why Noni Juice?
"It is a well-know fact that the body absorbs liquids faster and more effectively than solids. Absorption is a very important thing to consider when taking natural supplements."

Reasons to Drink Noni Juice  by Dr. Neil Solomon M.D. Ph.D.

1. Prevent and Protect Against Cancer -- Morinda citrifolia might exert a preventative and protective action against cancer during the initiation stage, which is the first phase of the formation of the cancer. Many feel antioxidant activity is an important function of Noni juice and one of the reasons so many people have reported success with cancer while using the juice.

2. Alleviates Symptoms of Arthritis -- There are several ways in which Noni may alleviate the undesirable symptoms of arthritis. Pain is the number one complaint with arthritis. Because Noni has analgesic qualities, it can help relieve this pain. Morinda citrifolia has also been shown to contain scopoletin, which has anti-inflammatory and histamine-inhibiting effects, both of which are excellent for the promotion of smooth joint movement. The cellular-enhancing qualities of Noni may also minimize damage to the joints and other involved tissues.

3. Fights Heart Disease -- Noni juice can help with high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Some scientists believe that Xeronine can help promote a healthy cell structure within the circulatory system. Noni juice can also lessen the symptoms of heart disease.

4. Lowers High Blood Pressure -- In my research, 85 percent of Noni juice drinkers reported decreased blood pressure while drinking Noni juice.

5. Strengthens the Immune System -- Noni juice boosts the overall immune system of the body and helps to maintain optimal health. Noni may help modulate a healthy immune system by either enhancing an already functioning system, by stimulating the components of a sluggish one, or by decreasing an overactive immune system. The mechanism by which Noni can do these different functions is called Adatogenisis.

6. Reduces Symptoms of Fibromyalgia -- Many people who suffer from fibromyalgia experience loss of energy. An increase in energy from Noni is a very positive side effect from the juice. Seventy0seven percent of people with fibromyalgia reported lessened symptoms after they began drinking Noni juice.

7. Fortifies Cell Structure -- Noni is believed to fortify and maintain cell structure. This can be accomplished by Noni helping the body heal itself and because Noni can aid "sick" cells in repairing themselves.

8. Helps Control Diabetes -- Noni can aid in the regulation of insulin secretion by the pancreas, helping control diabetes. Drinking Noni may also help relieve diabetic symptoms through its ability to stimulate the body's production of nitric oxide. Both may also be important factors in decreasing symptoms such as poor circulation and vision problems.

9. Reduces Symptoms of Asthma -- Noni may help in reducing the severity of the symptoms of asthma by boosting and modulating the immune system and enhancing the cellular structure of the bronchioles.

10. Fights Depression -- Noni's ability to modulate natural bio-chemicals such as brain hormones might be why many people have felt less depress after drinking Noni juice.

11. Offers Pain Relief -- Some scientists believe that Noni is associated with the body's production of a very important biochemical known as serotonin, which may involve the xeronine system that is believed to promote the body's ability to ward off pain.

12. Helps Promote Weight Loss -- Noni may help you lose weight by promoting better sleep, aiding in the regulation of blood sugar levels, and by boosting the number of antioxidants in the body.

13. Helps Control ADHD -- Noni may be helpful for this condition in both children and adults thought its ability to modulate the production of some of he chemicals in the brain as well as increase overall cellular health in the brain.

14. Helps Treat Migraines -- Preliminary results show that there is a non/serotonin relationship. Studies suggest that Noni juice was clinically helpful in the treatment of migraines.

15. Successful in the Treatment of Addictions -- Noni juice has been said to be successful in the treatment of addictions to heroine, cocaine, marijuana, nicotine, alcohol, prescription drug use and caffeine.

16. Protects Against Strokes -- Noni may help inhibit premature coagulation in the blood, preventing platelets form clumping together into clots associated with strokes.

17. Lowers Cholesterol -- Noni is a potent free radical scavenger that can contribute to lower cholesterol levels and prevents LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) from oxidizing.

18. Increases Memory -- Noni may be used by the brain to encode long-term memory and enhance blood flow to the brain.

19. Strengthens the Nervous System -- Noni functions as a "messenger molecule" that may allow nerve cells in the body and the brain to communicate effectively.

20. Encourages Detoxification -- Noni can increase the rate of liver detoxification by more than 50 percent.

21. Improves Skin Condition -- Noni can be used topically. Its anti-inflammatory and histamine-inhibiting effects can help fight allergies, skin conditions and inflammation

Noni and Diabetes

DEABETES MELLITUS and NONI   By Dr.Rangadhar Satpathy

Diabetes Mellitus is a clinical syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia (increase glucose level above normal in blood) due to absolute or relative deficiency of insulin caused by the degeneration or hypo activity of the B-cells of the pancreas. That causes the following metabolic disturbances.

• Depress the glycogenesis (formation of glycogen from glucose) and increases glycogenolysis (convert of glucose from glycogen). So glycogen contains from liver and muscles low down and in blood the glucose level raises.
• Glucose combustion (oxidation) is depressed in absence of insulin. So extra cellular glucose level rises
• The rate of gluconeogenesis (formation of glucose from other than carbohydrates) increases. Thus glucose level in blood rises.
• Depot fat mobilized and liver loaded with fats.
• Ketone bodies are produced at a faster rate and can cause ketosis and diabetic coma.

Diabetic can classified primarily in two types
1) Type-1- insulin dependant diabetes mellitus (IDDM).

2) Type-2 – Non-insulin dependant diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)


The cause of Type-1- IDDM is various. Those are

i) Genetic factor –HLA linked genetic predisposition.

ii) Some viruses like EMC virus, Mengo virus 2T that destroys the

Pancreatic B-cells.

Pancreatic pathology: In type -1 – IDDM the islet of langerhans is infiltrated with mononuclear cells like activated macrophages, T lymphocytes, Natural killer cells and B lymphocytes. That condition is called ‘insulitis’. It causes the destruction of more or less all insulin secreting B-cells. So body produces little or no insulin.

The cause of Type-2 – Non-insulin dependant diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) are:

• Faulty life styles, over eating, obesity, lack of exercise.

• Over weight predisposes the reaction in our liver and peripheral fat stores lead to pro-inflammatory and pro-Thrombotic (blood clotting) changes with elevated C Reactive Proteins (CRP), interleukin -6(Il-6), and fibrinogen (all made in the liver) plus platelet activation. These lead to hardening of the arteries, blood clots, HBP, heart attack, stroke and diabetes.

• Constant dwelling on severe stress full situation causes diabetes. Stress elevates epinephrine, nor-epinephrine, ACTH, cortisol and prolactin that acts as an antagonist to insulin.

Pancreatic pathology – In Type-2-NIIDDM deposition of amyloid on the islets tissues occur. But here very less no. of B-cells are destroyed. So in this case body produces enough insulin.

Here increased hepatic production of glucose and resistance to the action of insulin are main cause of NIDDM.

Insulin resistance may be due to

• An abnormal insulin molecule

• An excessive amount of circulating antagonist

• Target tissue defects.

ROLE OF NONI JUICE IN DIABETES
1. Xeronine in Noni juice helps to clear up the resistance to the action of insulin by the following way.

2. Xeronine combines with the inactive abnormal insulin molecule and help modify its rigidity to make it active.

3. Xeronine combining with insulin helps more glucose combustion (oxidation) in peripheral tissues and also helps to enhance the cellular permeability to glucose. So that extra cellular glucose level falls.

4. The habit of overeating in human being is the cause of obesity. The obese people generally feel hungry due to low serotonin levels. Obesity also causes the insulin resistance to glucose and hence the predisposing factors of Type-2-NIDDM. Noni helps to secrete more serotonin that eliminates the desire of eating more. So it indirectly prevents obesity and helps in preventing diabetes.

5. Noni helps to enhance the body immunity power by the synergistic action of its all components in cellular level. Thus by modulating the immunity power it may help to correct the ‘insulitis’condition of pancreas in Type-1-IDDM so that it prevents from destruction of B-cells in pancreas and also activate the B-cells to produce more insulin

6. Noni helps to reduce anxiety and lessens the stress response to some extent by elevating the serotonin level in blood.

7. Improves sleep.

Since the intake of sugar – even natural sugars – may be important to track in a diabetic’s diet, it is good to note that 4 ounces of Noni juice equals one fruit exchange.

(Please Note: Type-1-IDDM should never substitute Noni juice for insulin shot. This type of diabetes may be able to reduce his or her insulin by using a natural supplement such as Noni juice under the supervision of a doctor).

Noni and Cancer

AN APPROACH OF ALTERNATIVE AND SUPPLIMENTARY ,THERAPY WITH NONI TO  CANCER PATIENTS.
There are more than 300 alternative cancer treatments available to the public. Very few people know which of the 300+ alternative cancer treatments are the strongest. There is a very wide range in the effectiveness of these 300+ treatments. Among them Noni is in top ten rank.
It is absolutely true that natural substances from Mother Nature are highly effective against cancer than the highly condensed, highly potent synthetic molecules made by the drug companies. But we have been taught that chemotherapy drugs kill cancer cells far better than anything Mother Nature can put together. Why is there such a huge disconnect between the truth and what we hear almost every day of our life? Why is it that people are so hard to convince that some alternative cancer treatments are vastly superior to any orthodox cancer treatment that is currently in use?
Chemotherapy does not target cancer cells. In fact, chemotherapy kills far, far more healthy cells than it does cancer cells. What this means is that chemotherapy must be given in very, very low doses, spread out over long periods of time, and the therapy must include gaps between the treatments. This "pacing" of the drugs is because too many healthy cells would be killed if too much chemotherapy were given too fast. The reason conventional medicine treats cancer like a chronic disease is because orthodox treatments would kill the patient long before the treatments would kill the cancer.
Mother Nature's cancer treatments, called natural cancer treatments, or more commonly "alternative cancer treatments," generally do absolutely no harm to healthy cells. This is because the human body, which was made by Mother Nature, knows exactly what to do with Mother Nature's minerals and nutrients.
Virtually all natural treatments for cancer do not kill healthy cells - not a single one.
This is the key - because alternative cancer treatments do not harm or kill healthy cells, the items from nature that can kill cancer cells can be given in much higher doses than chemotherapy - without any gaps in treatment!!
Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery virtually destroy a person's immunity system. A well put together natural treatment will actually build the person's immunity system to make sure the cancer will not return.
But there are two key things we need to understand about alternative cancer treatments.
First, ninety-five percent of cancer patients who go with alternative cancer treatments have already been given up for dead by conventional treatment. In other words, they first went for conventional treatment, their body was destroyed by the conventional medicine, THEN they decided to go with alternative cancer treatments.
Second, very few alternative cancer treatments can cure people sent home to die by conventional medicine, very few of the cancer patients sent home to die,pick a treatment strong enough to give them a fighting chance. In other words, very few of these cancer patients pick one of the most potent alternative cancer treatments.
These two things create a severe disadvantage for alternative medicine. Alternative medicine has lost between 1 and 4 years to treat the patient and build their immunity system - because the patient was using conventional treatments.
In addition to that, after conventional treatments, the patient is in far worse physical and mental condition than they were when they were first diagnosed. This is why there are so few alternative cancer treatments that can achieve a true cure rate of 50% on these patients.
If we put all of this together we come to the following facts:
1) Almost 100% of all newly diagnosed cancer patients go with conventional medicine first.
2) About 97% of these patients die, or are sent home to die and later die, due to their cancer and/or their cancer treatment.
3) Only a very small percentage of the cancer patients sent home to die ever go with alternative cancer treatments, others they simply go home and die.
4) Of those who do go with alternative cancer treatments, only a very small percentage of them pick a treatment strong enough to give them a 50% chance of survival.
Is it any wonder that deaths from cancer continue to rise in spite of the power of some of the alternative cancer treatments?
Noni come under alternative and supplementary therapy for cancer and helps to cure cancer by several means. Yes it is true that a 4th grade cancer cannot be cured by any means. But when there is the chance of cure rate possible in preliminary stage by using the alternative way of treatment so why should not it be used for the betterment of humanity?
Other reason of not advising for alternative treatment for cancer by the oncologists is that they are not aware about the facts what it contains and how it helps to cure and prevent. Also they should be aware that in which stage and in which condition an alternative system of medicine in cancer treatment is most beneficial for both patient and doctor.
It needs a revolution.
