Costa Rica Noni
Fruit
Nature's Healer

Costa Rica Noni Fruit
In Costa
Rica a very special plant grows in
abundance.
This plant is known
to us by it's botanical name
of
“Morinda Citrifolia”. The native
Ticos, however,
know it
simply as “Noni”, which when translated means "A
Gift from God".
Ancient
manuscripts, describe the many valuable
uses for this unique plant.
The
native Indios and
Rainforest Shamans of Costa Rica used the seeds,
the bark, the roots, the leaves, the blossoms and
the fruit.
Morinda
Citrifolia is also one of the most
beautiful
plants in Costa Rica with its large dark green shiny
leaves and its creamy white flower blossoms. The
Morinda Citrifolia plant matures very quickly,
reaching heights
of 15 - 20 feet!

The plant yields
fruit all year round and the more fruit
that is harvested, the
more it produces!
On every branch of every plant, there
are many fruits
in various stages of development, so the
fruit must
be checked and harvested regularly.
The mature fruit is green and measures about
the size
of a potato. When
the
fruit is ripe, it turns
yellowish-white
and becomes very soft and
aromatic. For
health and
beauty purposes, the fruit is harvested when it is ripe.
Over-ripened
fruit is allowed to fall to the ground to
replenish the soil, as the Noni fruit
is very
rich in nutrients.
The native Indians of Costa Rica have been harvesting
and preparing their own "Noni juice" and other Noni "remedies" for centuries.
Now, many of these
ancient
traditions, preserved for centuries, by Rainforest Shamans, are now
being shipped around
the world.
The native Indians of Costa Rica
harvest the fruit,
just before it is fully ripe and
then
place it in a jar
with water, in the direct sunlight. Once the fruit is fully
ripened and fermented, it is mashed
into a puree and
the juice is extracted
through a cloth. The remaining
pulp mixture is often used for other health and
beauty purposes.
Now, in modern times,
it has attracted the attention
of botanists, scientists, researchers and medical
professionals around the world!
Noni Juice appears
to be nature's
universal antidote,
for almost all illnesses. It works
for many
different health problems. This
Costa Rican fruit is reliably reported to be
beneficial in treating (but not curing): cancer, hypertension,
Type 2 diabetes,
gout, digestive disorders, infections,
injuries, lung diseases,
high cholesterol values, and drug
and tobacco abuse.
French researchers, have confirmed that Noni Juice
is non-toxic and that it exhibited consistent central (brain) pain relieving activity. Most of the important research on this fascinating
juice was done by Dr. Ralph Heineke.
Dr. Heineke
received his Ph. D. in
biochemistry, from the University
of Minnesota.
Dr. Heineke believes that much of the therapeutic
benefits of Noni Juice are
related to an alkaloid
called 'proxeronine' in Noni Fruit, that becomes
converted to the alkaloid xeronine, in the body.

He feels that the healing properties
of Noni Juice,
are due to this alkaloid
precursor, which appears to
effect: cancer, lower blood pressure, heal
infections,
relieve arthritis, lower blood sugar, and relieve pain.
Twenty five years ago, Dr. Heineke
isolated the
enzyme xeronine, from bromelain. He
discovered
that xeronine is manufactured in small quantities,
in the human
body and plays a critical role in the
function of enzymes and proteins in the body.
Xeronine is depleted under any kind
of stress.
The proneronine from Noni Juice,
is readily converted
to xeronine, by intestinal cells full of serotonin.
Lack of xeronine,
disrupts the body's resistance
to illness, infection and chronic degenerative diseases.
The quantity of xeronine produced, declines with
aging and all forms of stress
(viral illness, injury,
surgery, difficult occupation, worry and
anger). This
may explain why high stress persons
are vulnerable
to more illnesses and chronic degenerative illnesses.
The 'happy go lucky' individual,
maintains optimum
xeronine levels and manages to avoid
serious
illnesses.
When a psychologist improves an individual's mental
and emotional state, any disease present may
begin to improve because
xeronine is no
longer being stolen,
by the stressing incidents in the person's
life.
Noni Juice
can help avoid depletion of xeronine
that would ordinarily
ensue from
a stressful life.
Without proper xeronine levels, vitamins do not
work
and serious illness may result, including cancer,
premature aging, viral illness and immune
system
malfunction.
When a protein or enzyme fails to function properly,
due to low xeronine levels, every cell, tissue and organ
needing that protein or enzyme, may
fail (heart disease,
kidney disease, diabetes). Restoring
correct xeronine
levels may
alleviate those diseases.
Dr. Heineke states that xeronine is by far the
best treatment for reversing hard
core
drug addiction.
He states, "By flooding the brain with xeronine, the
proteins in the brain are changed.
Within a matter of
days, brand new receptor sites
are created due to xeronine's work on proteins.
Now you have normal receptor sites in the brain,
that respond to xeronine,
instead of
drugs". Nicotine
addiction can be cured in three days by the same
mechanism.
Noni And Pain
Many people use DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide)
to
relieve
pain. DMSO is unable
to relieve pain adequately,
because it is a simple solvent. When
DMSO is
applied
to the skin, it releases the skin
xeronine, which
gets transported deeper
to the
painful area where it
affects cells, relieving the pain.
DMSO often acts wonderfully the first time it is
applied,
but works less
well
the second time and
perhaps
not at all on third application,
because all the skin xeronine
is gone. Time will be needed for restoring skin xeronine.

Case Reports
#1
A colleague of Dr. Heinecke, gave
proxeronine
(Noni's
active alkaloid)
to a woman who had been
comatose for 3 months. Two hours later she sat
up in bed and asked where she was.
#2
A male patient became impotent and developed
a rash, while taking cholesterol-lowering medicine.
When switched to xeronine, his cholesterol
values
became normal
and his potency returned.
My personal knowledge of Noni Juice is fascinating.
An elderly man developed
trouble walking and became
confined to bed. His physician advised him
that
there
was no medical treatment for this problem and that
he would die soon.
He started taking Noni Juice, regained his ability to
walk
and was in good health one year later.
A 55 year old male with insulin requiring diabetes,
gained 35 pounds after going
on insulin therapy. He
started Noni Juice
and lost 25 pounds over a 6 week
period. Additionally, his blood sugars have shown
significant
improvement.
For one month, I had been troubled by a deep right
lower abdominal aching that occurred several times daily,
lasting only
a few minutes. This
pain seemed to
me..
like it might be
from seminal vesiculitis, because it
radiated into the right
side of the
scrotum. This pain
immediately ceased after starting
Noni Juice.
Because Noni
Juice benefits both pain and infections,
it was impossible to be certain which was being
corrected.
Taking Noni Juice regularly keeps body xeronine levels
intact and strengthens defenses against chronic degenerative
disease. As with many natural products,
there are no known
side effects. I think Noni Juice might be beneficial in
patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis, osteomyelitis and HIV.

Noni Juice and Cancer
Japanese
researchers determined that an
antraquinone compound, found
in Noni Juice, named
damnacanthal was
the most active extract of 500
extracts,
tested against the K-ras-NRK cell, a precursor
to several cancers.
Noni Juice
appeared to act
directly on host macrophages and
lymphocytes
to
counteract cancer cells.
Case Reports Using Noni
Juice
In Patients With Malignancies
#1
A breast cancer patient in France refused surgery and was placed on
xeronine, a Noni Juice precursor, three
times daily. She made a complete
recovery.
#2
A Tahitian woman with cancer,
was given only
weeks to live. A friend
urged her to try Noni Juice,
which she did, resulting in recovery.
#3
A Canadian
woman, aged 35, suddenly developed
a large upper abdominal tumor mass. Her physician encouraged her to have exploratory surgery, but
she decided to try Noni Juice.
In three days, she began to vomit copiously,
bringing up large amounts of
tissue.
The mass,
promptly began to decrease
in size. When she returned to
her physician one month
later, the mass was gone and a scan
showed no
evidence
of malignancy.
NONI is available as fruit and liquid.
I would suggest
taking 2 ounces, twice
daily, for malignancies, until you are certain you are getting
better. Then the
dose can be decreased to one ounce, twice daily.
Noni can be found in markets and stores, as a fruit, which needs to be allowed
to ferment, so that it becomes soft and changes color, from green
to light yellow, before consuming.
Take an ounce of the fruit pulp, two or
three times daily, until you improve, when the dose can be decreased. The
fruit pulp, admittedly has an unpleasant
taste, which can be masked, by grape
juice concentrate
or unsweetened fruit juice. Do not add sugar,
as
this
interferes with phagocytosis of bacteria and
tumor cells.

he became convinced
that natural substances are safer, more effective and
cheaper than drugs.
His research,
led to writing the book, 'A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work'. You can see more about this book and the recommended health products, on their website. In Costa Rica, the book is available at International Libreria and Mora book store.

Memory
Loss..
Tied to Pulled Teeth

You may be losing more than a bit of your bite,
when the dentist pulls one
of your teeth. You may also be forfeiting some of your memory.
A Swedish study
of 1,962 people, compared the memories of those who had
lost all their teeth and wore dentures with those, who still had teeth. "When
people have no teeth, their memories are clearly worse, than when they have teeth,"
researcher Jan
Bergdahl, associate professor of psychology, at Umeaa
University, told Agence France Press.
While previous studies on rats and monkeys,
found a link between teeth
and memory, this is the first large scale study on humans, to find the
same
association. "Teeth appear to be of the utmost importance to
our memories," Bergdahl said.
He and his colleagues, don't know how much impact, the loss of a single
tooth may have on memory. They plan to investigate how many
teeth
a person needs
to lose, before their memory is affected and how tooth decay and tooth implants,
affect memory loss,
the AFP reported.


George W. Bush and FDA

Approves Use of Implantable
Microchips, in Human Patient's Skin

1984 - is Here in Full Force
Big Brother is Watching!
DIEDTRA HENDERSON, AP Science Writer -
Wed.
Oct. 13th, 2004

The Food and Drug Administration on
Wednesday
approved
an implantable computer microchip, that can pass a patient's medical details, (And other information), to doctors and governments.
VeriChips, radio frequency microchips, the size of a grain of rice, have already been used, to
identify
wayward pets and livestock. And nearly 200 people,
working in Mexico's attorney
general's office, have been implanted with
microchips,
to access secure areas, containing sensitive documents.
Delray Beach, Florida based Applied Digital Solutions,
said it would give away $650 scanners, to roughly 200 trauma centers around the nation, to help speed
its entry, into the health care market.
A company spokesman would not say, how much
implanting
microchips, would cost for humans, even though micro-chips, have been implanted in some,
including Scott R. Silverman, the company's chief executive officer.
The company is targeting patients
with diabetes,
chronic cardiac conditions, Alzheimer's disease and those who
undergo complex
treatments, like
chemotherapy, said
Dr. Richard Seelig, Applied Digital Solutions' vice
president
of medical applications.
It's the first
time, the FDA
has approved medical
use
of the device, though in Mexico, more than 1,000 scanable microchips, have been implanted in patients.
The microchip's serial number, pulls up the patients' blood type
and other medical information.
With the
pinch of a syringe, the microchip is inserted
under the skin,
in a procedure, that takes less than 20
minutes and leaves no stitches.
Silently and invisibly, the microchip
stores a code,
similar to
the identifying UPC code, on products
sold
in grocery stores, that releases patient specific
information,
when a scanner passes over the chip.
At the doctor's office, those codes stamped onto chips,
once
scanned, would reveal such information
as a patient's allergies and prior treatments.
The United States
Federal Drug Administration, in
October
2002, said that the agency would regulate
health care applications, possible through VeriChip.
Meanwhile, the chip has
been used for a number of security related tasks, in prisons and high security
government offices.

Federal Court Bars FDA
From Forcing Vaccines,
on American Soldiers!

In this season
of "Vaccine-mania" comes some common sense from an unexpected source, the federal court system.
Wednesday, a U.S. District Court judge ruled the
Defense Department must immediately stop inoculating troops with anthrax vaccines, because the FDA
acted improperly, when
it approved the
experimental
injections, for general use.
In his decision, Judge Emmet Sullivan, found the FDA
violated its own rules, by approving the vaccine,
late last year. The ban on involuntary
vaccination, will remain in place, until the
FDA reviews the anthrax vaccine properly.
Or President Bush
determines that the
normal process,
must be waived,
because of emergency circumstances.
This is Nonsense, he should not be
able to Force
Poison Vaccinations on anyone!
Up to now, American troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, have been required
to be vaccinated and those who refused have been punished and sometimes
court marshaled, because they did not want to be injected with the
poison.
Moreover, troops
stationed in South Korea and
other
parts of Asia and Africa,
have been
forced to take part in
anthrax and smallpox vaccination programs, despite
complaints from several of the American
Soldiers, that the anthrax
vaccine
made them sick.
The judge's ruling,
was based on a suit filed in
March 2003, by six American Soldiers. (Including one, who
is a
breast-feeding mother)
and civilians,
who
argued the FDA never properly reviewed the
vaccine's
ability to protect against inhalation anthrax.
The suit contended, that the drug
was never shown to be effective and that some vaccinated troops,
experienced extreme fatigue, joint pain and temporary memory loss,
after being vaccinated.
