Noni - is it too good to be true?

RE: Noni - is it too good to be true?

Hi Sonia,

It is very good for you, but not the elixir of life, and some people are actually allergic to it.

It is a more powerful version of Aloe Vera Juice really. My American friend swears by it, as helping her thyroid problem, but her sister is sick each time she tried to drink some.

I find personally whenever there is a lot of hype about something, there is always some suspiscion[&o] And that if it really were that good, the NHS and all world health organisations would be buying it up.

Now that's true.

Hmm... depends how much clout the company producing it has got. The bigger companies will just squeeze them out in favour of their products which are probably no where near as good.

Love and Reiki Hugs

RE: Noni - is it too good to be true?

Personally i think it depends on the quality of the Noni juice.
Some are overly diluted etc.
I used to swear by it myself, until i was introduced to another juice made from the whole fruit puree of mangosteens.
This is imho, way more potent than Noni or Aloe vera. It also has a lot of scientific research behind it and it also tastes good !
It is relatively new not only here, but in the west generally........but i am sure we are all going to hear alot more about it in the future.
I have some info. by a Doctor who uses this in place of many drugs...as he says, why use drugs, when a food will do....
Any body wanting more info, feel free to contact me.

I've never heard of any of those, what do they achieve?

Thanks

Sometimes, what is good for someone isn't necessarily good for someone else. We are all individual and have specific requirements. What may agree with someone, may actually make someone else ill!

An excellent way of getting in touch with your 'higher self' is to buy a pendulum, as you begin to use this tool to get in touch with the part of you that knows all there is to know, you will be given specific information.

For example, you can ask your higher self "Is it in the interest of my higher self to take Noni juice", and it will give you a yes or no. Using a pendulum is just a tool, like a carpenter uses his/her tools to make beautiful pieces of furniture.

Using a pendulum in this way, takes out the guess work, all you then need to do is trust in the information you are being given.

Love and light

To me it tastes awful - that much I do know. [:'(]

But may be good for others. As Rosi 1 points out we're all different & tend toward different problems, so depends on you and what you may be considering taking it for. [sm=scratchchin.gif]

RE: Noni - is it too good to be true?

There is a good book on the subject if you are interested by a Neil Solomon who has spent 10 years researching Noni (ISBN: 1-887938-90-7).

It looks at how safe Noni is and 16 different illnesses and conditions it can treat. It also suggests how much to take, including quantities for animals!

I know someone whose says their diabetes is kept in check with it.

The statistics from the research on how many people benefit by decreased symptoms across a range of 29 conditions vary from 52% (MS) to 90% (increased Energy and Digestion). The research covered 25000 drinkers in over 80 countries.

If there is a specific condition anyone is interested in from the book, let me know.

You can also look at the studies for both mangosteen and noni at:

Put "xanthones" (these are the active compounds in mangosteen) or "mangosteen" into the site search to view the published research. Then try looking up Noni.

I have found the mangosteen juice to be more beneficial than Noni, with over 40 xanthones in it, each relating to a specific health benefit. The most obvious advantage it has over the Noni is that it tastes delicious.

RE: Noni - is it too good to be true?

Thanks for all the interesting replies. A collegue of mine has just started to sell noni and I've got a bottle. I must admit at the moment I think it tastes horrible!! (So do my children!) But I've been suffering with Achilles tendonitis and since taking the noni it has improved. This could be coincidence or as a result of the sports therapy exercises I've been doing - whatever something has helped.
