Not Just for Diabetics: The Fruit That Will Work Wonders for Your Body

I first encountered the noni fruit (known in Latin as morinda citrifolia) over a decade ago when Israeli entrepreneurs began marketing it in the country as a miracle drink, capable of solving a wide range of health problems, from diabetes to muscle degeneration and even various types of cancer.

The first bottle I bought was meant for the father of a friend who had Parkinson's, and his condition was deteriorating by the day. I hoped that even if there was no chance of returning him to his previous state of health, the noni would at least contribute to a somewhat better daily routine. Fortunately, it worked, and just a few months after Willy started taking noni, there was a significant improvement in his condition.

Although he did not return to being a healthy person and did not fully recover from the disease, his daily feelings improved tremendously, and he resumed activities he couldn't do for a long time—a fact that delighted me immensely.

Far Eastern countries—China, India, Polynesia, and others—have been utilizing the benefits of this amazing fruit for over 1500 years. It was first discovered there and later 'dripped' to other countries like Tahiti, Hawaii, Malaysia, and more.

The fruit reached the Western world only after undergoing a comprehensive series of studies that qualified it for marketing as a dietary supplement in the form of a drink or concentrated capsules—because the fruit itself is almost impossible to consume naturally due to its sharp taste and smell.

Dr. Richard Dix, an American physician who studied noni for several years, asserts that noni keeps our bodies healthy by providing all the nutrients we need and helping our bodies return to their 'initial' state before knowing processed food and other harms that caused self-destruction.

High Blood Pressure

Dr. Monica Harrison from the U.S. is one of many who support the consumption of noni drink. One of her patients had suffered from high blood pressure for years and tried all possible methods to lower it without success.

Dr. Harrison then suggested trying noni drink. "After two months of drinking noni, I could not believe the last reading: the patient's blood pressure had dropped, reached a normal level, and remained there for over nine months."

According to Dr. Harrison, what caused this is an ingredient called scopoletin, specializing in dilating constricted blood vessels. "When the heart doesn't have to work hard to pump blood through narrow vessels, the pressure immediately drops, and that's exactly what noni did," she says.

Dr. Isabel Abbot, a botany expert, also praises noni for "excelling in balancing diabetes, high blood pressure, and various types of cancer."

Feeling Depressed, Tired, and Unmotivated? The Energy Bomb is Ready for Action

One study on noni fruit examined its impact on our body's 'good feelings' button and revealed particularly surprising data: out of 8,000 people who participated in the experiment, 80% reported a significant improvement in these feelings shortly after starting to take noni. "I don't know how it's logical that this thing helps me cope with my depression, but it's just a fact. Every time I take it, it energizes me and fills me with energies I don't have," says Chris, one of the participants.

Arthritis

Dr. Tatiana Belos, a doctor who incorporates noni into her treatments and offers it as a dietary supplement, testifies that most of her patients who began including noni in their regular diet received the help they hoped for. "Noni acts in the body as an anti-inflammatory agent and caused change not only by improving my life but also in improving the lives of many of my patients whom noni helped with arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome."

Digestive System

Data tracking patients with various digestive system diseases shows that most of them (close to 90%) experienced significant improvement after starting to use noni—thanks to the positive effect of serotonin on the small intestine.

Not many people know this, but it turns out this hormone (responsible for feelings of happiness and positive energy, which is released in our body mainly after vigorous physical activity) is found not only in our brain but also in various centers in our body. One of them is the digestive system, in the small intestine. The 'meeting' of the essential noni components with this hormone caused a different kind of 'joy' in the digestive system, benefiting patients.

Highlight – Cancer Treatment

The global medical community is particularly interested in noni fruit due to numerous studies conducted on it in the context of healing cancer cells—whether they have not yet developed in the body or the disease is already in its advanced stages.

The hypotheses about noni's impact on malignant tumors are many and varied, but in one thing, most doctors agree: if used as an addition to conventional treatment given to cancer patients, it may enhance and accelerate its effect while generally strengthening the patient. In any case, it should not replace conventional treatment entirely and should not be preferred solely on noni use.
