Complementary Medicine / Re: Noni Juice?

Here is aomething I found about Noni.......
"ABOUT NONI JUICE:
Dr. Heinicke is regarded as the world authority on the medicinal properties of the Noni fruit. It was Dr. Heinicke who identified the active ingredient in Noni as a rare alkaloid to which he gave the name Xeronine. Noni is one of the best raw materials to use for the isolation of Xeronine (it is also found in smaller quantities in pineapple).
Green Noni (picked mature but not soft) is preferred as it contains the greatest concentrations or Xeronine and Proxeronine and also has a pleasant taste.
Proxeronine is the precursor to Xeronine, which is produced in the intestine and plays a vital role in cell function.
The fact that over the centuries most of the Pacific Islanders independently discovered Noni as an integral part of their medicine is proof of its powerful healing properties.
Xeronine is a relatively small rare alkaloid that is physiologically active in the picogram range (a picogram is one trillionth of a gram). It occurs in practically all healthy cells in plants, animals and microorganisms. However, the amount of free alkaloid is minute and is well below the limits of normal chemical analytical techniques.
Even though Noni fruits have a negligible amount of free Xeronine, they contain appreciable amounts of its precursor Proxeronine. This precursor has a relatively large molecular weight of about 16,000. In contrast to most plant colloids it does not contain sugars, amino acids or nucleic acids. Thus most biochemists have overlooked this relatively abundant molecule that occurs in most tissues.
Noni fruits also contain the inactive form of the enzyme that releases Xeronine from Proxeronine. Unless this proenzyme is properly activated, Noni Juice has few pharmacological benefits. Fortunately if Noni Juice is taken on an empty stomach, the critical proenzyme escapes digestion and enters the intestines. Here the chances are high that it may become activated and release Xeronine.
Xeronine is produced in the intestine so optimal efficacy is achieved when Noni juice is taken on an empty stomach.
Noni makes people feel better because Xeronine converts certain brain proteins into active receptor sites for endorphins, the "well-being hormones."
Noni Juice has been used for centuries by native Samoan, Hawaiian, Tahitian, and South Seas Islanders to maintain optimal health. They believe Noni to be responsible for the healing of almost anything that afflicts them, and brings them a feeling of well being. Our Polynesian Noni is processed within 6 hours of harvesting.
During 1997-98 Dr Neil Solomon, M.D., Ph.D. spent most of his time researching both the scientific and non-scientific evidence — case studies, reports from Doctors and other experts and clinical trials — involving the island fruit noni to see if and how it works. He also interviewed more than 40 Doctors and other health professionals who collectively had data representing over 8,000 people who had or were using Noni.
The following table represents Dr Solomon’s findings:
Condition # who took Noni for that condition % helped
Arthritis 673 80%
Pain 3,785 87%
Dr Solomon’s findings were consistent with other research that Noni:
Lowers high blood pressure.
Works with melatonin and serotonin to help regulate sleep, temperature and mood cycles.
Increases body energy
Acts as anti-inflammatory and anti-histaminic agent.
Alleviates pain.
Has antibacterial properties that can protect against digestive and heart damage.
Inhibits precancer function and growth of cancer tumors.
Dr Ralph Heinicke believes that the critical building block to make Xeronine is contained in Noni. Healthy people generally have adequate amounts of all of the other components in Noni except for Proxeronine, which is frequently present in only marginal amounts.
Over 50 isolated nutraceuticals have now been identified in Noni, some of the more important ones are found in the below table:
Xeronine Scopoletin Proxeronine
Morindadiol Proxeronase Rubiadin
Serotonin Magnesium Damnacanthal
Carbonate Nordamnacanthal Protien
Anthraquinones Sodium Caratenoids
Bioflavonoids Morindine Morindone
Terpenes Soranjidiol Plant Sterols
Iron Sitosterol Phosphate
Glycosides Rubiadin MME Alizarin
Acetin GlucoP Ursolic acid MM-MA-R GlucoP
Caproic acid Caprlyic acid GlucopyranosePA
Asperuloside Serotonin precursors Vitamins
Trace elements Alkaloids Enzymes
Cofactors Multi-receptor activators Chlororubin
Methionine Alanine Isoleucine
Arginine Leucine Aspartate
Lysine Cysteine Phenylalanine
Cystine Threonine Glycine
Tryptophane Glutamate Valine
Tyrosine Histadine Proline
Serine
Used for centuries as the universal health elixir, Polynesian Noni Juice is a powerful natural health tonic!
Suggested Use:
Shake well. Take 15 — 30 ml mixed in fruit juice or taken by itself on an empty stomach hour before a meal once a day (preferably before breakfast).
Pure Noni juice has the taste of some bitter herbs that if they taste that bad, they have to be good for you. You can add 15-30 to your favourite juice to disguise the taste if you desire."
