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.

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.

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.
