Benefits of Noni (morinda)

For people in Indonesia, a noni plant or Morinda citrifolia usually seen in the villages. even growing wild. not many people know about the benefits of noni ( morinda ). Besides that, many people do not like the noni fruit to taste and smell unpleasant. If we know the benefits of the noni fruit ( morinda ), we would be surprised. In fact, the noni fruit does not prefferred this, noni as herbal and natural remedies can provide many benefits to our health. Noni ( morinda ) is one of the many types of herbal are amazing. Many people consume noni juice to get health benefits. In the market also already in form suplement or juice packaging.

As reported in the pages deherbal.com quoting from the book Healthy With Noni, author Mary Goreti Waha, STP. Medical research on Noni ( morinda )or Noni started at least 1950, when the scientific journal Science reported that Pacific Noni fruit showed anti-bacterial properties against M. pyrogenes, P. Aeruginosa, and even E. coli are deadly.

Studies and research on Noni ( morinda ) continues to be done by various research institutes and universities. Since 1972, Dr. Ralph Heinicke, renowned biochemist from the United States began to conduct research on the alkaloid xeronine of the enzyme bromelain (an enzyme in pineapple). He later discovered that the Noni fruit also contains xeronine and precursor (proxeronine) in large numbers. Xeronine is one of the important substances that regulate the function of proteins and specific cells of the human body.

In 1993, the journal Cancer Letter reported that some researchers from Keio University and The Institute of Biomedical Sciences in Japan who do research on 500 species of plant claimed that they found anti-cancer substances (damnacanthal) contained in Noni ( morinda ).

Leading research institutions in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Taiwan, Austria, Canada, and even the National Academy of Sciences, a center of scientific study of national prestigious in the United States has conducted various research on Noni ( morinda ). Meanwhile, researchers at the University of Hawaii has also done much research on Noni ( morinda ), including research on the activities of anti-tumor and anti-cancer Morinda citrifolia published in a scientific journal (Proc, West Pharmacology Society Journal, vol, 37, 1994).

A survey conducted by Dr. Neil Solomon of the 8000 users Noni juice (Tahitian Noni) involving 40 doctors and other medical practitioners indicates that Noni juice to help restore a number of diseases, such as: cancer, heart disease, digestive disorders, diabetes, stroke, and a number of other diseases that shown in the following table.

Research conducted by Dr. Neil Solomon above focuses on TAHITIAN NONI ™ Juice contains 89% Noni juice, because it is the most widely consumed at the time. Because it must be if the study used 100% Noni Juice is working power of his Noni Juice will be much stronger, so the likely amount of "percentage who helped" by Noni will be much higher.

Through intensive research conducted by scientists at the laboratory, demonstrated the superiority of the outer Noni biasa.Tanaman contains various vitamins, minerals and enzymes, alkaloids, co-factors and plant sterols that occur naturally. In addition, leaves and roots intact Noni ( morinda ) contains amino acids which are the main protein source.

Noni fruit water content of about 52 percent. Several studies have been conducted to determine what elements are contained in Noni. Studies and research has shown the presence of substances of interest in Noni juice, although not all identified. New in 1993, a researcher (Helen Sim), the master's thesis entitled The Isolation and Characterization of a Fluorescent Compound From The Fruit of Morinda citrifolia: Studies on 5-HT Receptor System reported the existence of substances in the Noni fruit that is not known by him or his friends. Most of these substances related to health and has been demonstrated only in the Noni fruit.

The following are other benefits of Noni fruit that have been scientifically proven.

Increase Endurance Body

Clinical investigations conducted by Dr. Schechter (Institute of Natural Medicine in California) yield important data about the ability of Noni juice, which stimulate the production of such T cells in the immune system (T cells play an important role in fighting the disease); strengthen the immune system, especially macrofaset and lymphocytes from the cell white blood; showed anti-bacterial effect; have the effect of anti-pain / pain (analgesic); inhibits cell growth of pre-cancer / tumor that is the ability to normalize the function of abnormal cells.

Mona Harrison, MD of Boston University School of Medicine and medical director of the DC General Hospital, USA reported that Noni increases the function of the thyroid gland and thymus gland, which is believed to act against infections and problems associated with the immune system.

Normalize Blood Pressure

According to Neil Solomon, MD.PhD, health problems of American researchers reported that the Noni fruit contains a type of phytonutrients, namely scopoletin which serves to widen the blood vessels that are narrowed. This causes the heart does not have to work too hard to pump blood, so blood pressure became normal.

The results of tests on animals showed that scopoletin lowers high blood pressure and normal to low (hypotension, abnormal). However, scopoletin contained in Noni fruit can interact synergistically with nutraceuticals (functional foods for treatment) to regulate high blood pressure became normal, but not lower blood pressure is already normal. Never found a case where the blood pressure down to normal resulting in low blood pressure (hypotension).

Experts from Stanford University, University of Hawaii, University of California (UCLA), Union College of London, University of Meets in France who has studied the Noni plant is agreed that the role lower blood pressure in many cases.

Simple clinical trial conducted by Scott Gerson, MD (from Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York) shows that many users Mengkudu reported that their blood pressure becomes high when stopped drinking Noni juice and return to normal when taking Noni juice on a regular basis .

Against Tumor and Cancer

An interesting paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Association fin. Cancer Research 83rd in San Diego, California, 1992 is "Anti-tumor activity of Morinda citrifolia on Lewis Lung Carcinoma in the mouse injected." In this study, rats were given an injection of Lewis Lung Carcinoma (a type of cancer). All mice that did not get the care with Noni ( morinda ) die within 9-12 days due to cancer. While rats treated with Noni ( morinda ) able to survive 105 to 123 percent longer (40 percent of experimental mice live up to 50 days or more). The study was repeated several times and each time Mengkudu proven to significantly extend the life-aged rats exposed to cancer compared with rats not treated with Noni ( morinda ). In summary, the results of this study revealed that Noni can inhibit tumor growth.

A year later the journal Cancer Letters (vol.3, 1993) reported the discovery of anti-cancer agent / damnacanthal in the Noni ( morinda ) extract capable of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.

There are some cases of cancer patients who consumed Noni fruit juice and be cured, among other cases, patients of Dr.. Harrison (DC General Hospital), who suffered from liver cancer and stomach swelling caused by excess fluid. During the 7 days taking Noni juice, swelling in the stomach is reduced significantly. Haru stomach fluids testing showed that cancer cells have disappeared.

According to Drs. Judah Folkman of Harvard University, Noni works synergistically with other micronutrients in menghamhat blood flow to the tumor cells. The mechanism is similar to squalen oil (from shark liver) that control brain tumor growth and prolong experimental mice by destroying the means of circulation of the blood supply to the tumor cells.

Eliminate Pain

The ability of Noni fruit has been known as an analgesic agent in the history of traditional medicine, so this plant is called a "painkiller tree" or "headache tree". Scientific research has proven beneficial effects of Noni to cope with the pain. In 1990, researchers found a significant relationship between dose of Noni juice extract with analgesic activity of rats (generally, the more widely used analgesic effect will be stronger).

Many theories that explain how the mechanisms work Noni ( morinda ) relieve pain. One is the theory of Dr.. Ralph Heinicke (renowned biochemist from the U.S.) who said that xeronine who play a role in relieving the pain. This is associated with the ability to normalize protein xeronine in abnormal cells, including cells of brain tissue, from which he came the pain.

Some cases of chronic pain such as headaches constantly, muscle soreness and joint pain nerves healed after taking Noni juice.

Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic

The compound scopoletin (hydroxy-methoxy-coumarin) is very effective as an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic. Medical literature reported the successful treatment of arthritis, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and allergies by using scopoletin. Bryant Bloss, MD, an orthopedist from Indiana, the U.S. reported the success of Noni juice cure back pain that caused also 15 people and patients. Meanwhile, the 8 patients reported knee pain (osteoarthritis) almost does not feel taking Noni juice. Three of his patients. Bloss who suffer from asthma progress with the reduction in cough. Some patients with arthritis also begins to experience the real progress after drinking Noni juice. She offers Noni juice as food additives / supplements and not as a drug to the patient.

Anti-bacterial

The results are published darn Pacific journal Science (vol 1.4, 1950) reported that Noni ( morinda ) contains anti-bacterial ingredients that can be used to treat heart disease and digestive problems. Antraquinon that many compounds found in Noni roots turned out to be against Staphylococcus bacteria that cause infections of the heart and the Shigella bacteria that cause dysentery.

Noni ( morinda ) is anti-bacterial against: Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Proteus morganii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella montevdleo, schotmuelleri Salmonella, Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysenteriae, Shigella flexnerii, Shigella paraciysenteriae BH und III-Z, Staphylococcus aureus.

Dr. Robert Young, microbiologist from Utah, USA find yeast molds and fungi with a toxin it produces can lead to diseased cells because the degree of acidity (pH) increases. By taking Noni juice, the situation can be overcome because Noni ( morinda ) helps regulate the body's pH balance, thus increasing the body's ability to absorb vitamins, minerals and proteins.

Set the Cycle of Moods (moods)

One of the capabilities possessed by scopoletin is able to bind serotonin. According to Drs. Harrison (DC.General Hospital, USA) scopoletin peneal glands may increase the activity present in the brain, which is where serotonin is produced and then used to produce the hormone melatonin. Serotonin is an important substance in the granules of blood (platelets) lining the human gastrointestinal tract and brain.

In the brain, serotonin acts as a neurotransmitter, the signal conductor of advice and precursor of the hormone melatonin. Serotonin and melatonin helps regulate some of the body such as sleep, body temperature regulation, mood (mood), puberty and egg production cycle, hunger and sexual behavior. Lack of serotonin in the body can lead to migraine, dizziness, depression, and even Alzheimer's disease.

Set the Cycle Energy Body

Dr. Harrison also reported that the body's energy frequency changes are also caused by the positive activities of Noni juice. Effects, among others; can stabilize blood sugar, reduces menstrual pain time, reducing the desire to urinate at night for men who experience swelling of the prostate.

According to Drs. Heinicke (biochemist from the U.S.), xeronine also play a role in the process of the body's energy cycle. He explained the mechanism as follows, xeronine will be absorbed in the space adjacent to the absorption of endorphin and act as a precursor hormone (co-hormone) to activate the receptor protein that gives a good feeling / comfort. As a result, people will feel comfortable and have a lot of energy after taking Noni juice.

Key Benefits

Research on Noni continues to grow, both conducted by the physician and botanist and biochemist. The study focused on the chemical contained komponen-komponen/susunan Noni and therapeutic effects against various diseases.

These studies show that Noni juice can stimulate the immune system, regulating cell function and regeneration of cells damaged tissue. The facts show that Noni can set the cells at the primary level and the tipping may explain why Noni can be used for a variety of health conditions.

Doctors in the United States already provides many reports of successful use of Noni juice to his patients. Dr. Richard Dicks (from New Jersey, USA) said, "we begin to realize that we must go back to the basics of our body. What is meant by metabolism in the body is burning nutrients. Noni juice protects the body by providing nutrients needed by the body. "

Additional efficacy

Noni has a property, other properties that have not been proven medically, but the empirical has a lot of people who experienced health improvements and increased after eating fruit extract. Some health problems can be overcome by using Noni:

   1. Digestive System: Flatulence, injury to the small intestine, stomach ulcers, vomiting and food poisoning.
   2. Respiratory system: cough, bronchitis, sore throat, tuberculosis, cholera, fever in infants, sinusitis, asthma.
   3. Cardiovascular System: high cholesterol, heart muscle thickening, increased transport of oxygen within the cell.
   4. Skin diseases: burns, wounds, scabies, boils, cellulite, skin worms, dandruff, ringworm, and inflammation of the skin, ulcers on the skin, and skin problems on the other.
   5. Mouth and throat: sore throat, bleeding gums, cough, mouth sores, toothache.
   6. Menstrual disorders: pre-menstrual syndrome, irregular menstrual cycles, pain during menstruation.
   7. Ageless: Noni juice can be used as a tonic to overcome the wrinkles caused by aging process.
   8. Diseases in the body: Diabetes, chronic hepatitis, pelvic pain, headaches, impaired renal function, bladder stones, disturbances in thyroid hormone.
   9. Immune deficiency: Disease Epstein-Barr virus, chronic candidiasis, a disease caused by HIV infection, lack of energy (AES = Altered energy syndrome).

Why is one type of plant can cure so many diseases?

Scientific research shows that the constituents in fruit Mengkudui have the efficacy to stimulate the formation of immune response, cleanses the blood, regulate cell function, regeneration of damaged cells and inhibit tumor growth. Phytochemicals (chemicals found naturally in plants) has efficacy for the prevention of disease and is rich in antioxidant content. Noni ( morinda ) has a very broad spectrum of phytochemicals, some of which are only found in Noni. The phytochemical phytochemical-synergy with each other to produce amazing healing properties.

Dr. Joseph Betz, chemical researchers from the FDA (Food and Drug Association) division of Natural Products Center For Good Safety and Applied Nutrition at the U.S. said that some experiments have shown that Noni juice can soothe muscle movement and have anti-allergic effects.

In 1992, Dr. Isabella Abbott, professor of botany at the University of Hawaii said that Noni more and more people use to cope with diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and many other diseases.
