Noni has been using for thousands years by the Hindu ayervédica
medicine, the Polynesian Healthers and the pre-columbus Caribbean
shamans. In the west medicine it has been using for more than
10 years, so there are few research about its applications. From
those ones, there are two important ones to mention.
The first one is an epidemiological research coordinated by Dr.
Neil Solomon. In this research the benefits obtained
by more than 10.000 noni consumers who use the juice to face different
health problems were evaluated. Between the health problems treated,
we can emphasize here (parenthesis shows percent of improvement):
* Cancer (67%)
* Heart disease (80%)
* Diabetes types I & II (83%)
* Smoking (58%)
* Sexuality problems (88%)
* Obesity (72%)
* High blood pressure (87%)
* Arthritis (80%)
* Depression (77%)
* Allergy(85%)
* Sleep problems (72%)
* Stress (71%)
* Digestion problems (89%)
According to Dr. Solomon, most of the patients who did not improve
their health, did not because they did not take the proper doses,
or did it not as long as needed. He also shows than noni juice
can be taken with traditional medicines since it don't have interactions
nor side effects. It's also safe with pregnant women.
There also are few science bibliography
about the use of noni to treat some of those health problems.
