Noni appears to be nature’s universal antidote for almost all illnesses.

It works for many different health problems. This Polynesian fruit is reliably reported to be beneficial in treating (but not curing) cancer, hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, gout, digestive disorders, infections, injuries, lung diseases, high cholesterol values, and drug and tobacco abuse.

French researchers confirmed that Noni is non-toxic and that it exhibited consistent central (brain) pain relieving activity. Most of the important research on this fascinating substance was done by Dr. Ralph Heineke. Dr. Heineke received his Ph. D. in biochemistry from the University of Minnesota.

Dr. Heineke believes that much of the therapeutic benefits of Noni are related to an alkaloid called ‘proxeronine’ in Noni, that becomes converted to the alkaloid xeronine in the body. He feels that the healing properties of Noni are due to this alkaloid precursor, which appears to effect cancer, lower blood pressure, heal infections, relieve arthritis, lower blood sugar, and relieve pain.

Twenty five years ago, Dr. Heineke isolated the enzyme xeronine from bromelain. He discovered that xeronine is manufactured in small quantities in the human body and plays a critical role in the function of enzymes and proteins in the body. Xeronine is depleted under any kind of stress. The proneronine from Noni is readily converted to xeronine by intestinal cells full of serotonin.

Lack of xeronine disrupts the body’s resistance to illness, infection, and chronic degenerative diseases. The quantity of xeronine produced declines with aging and all forms of stress (viral illness, injury, surgery, difficult occupation, worry, and anger). This may explain why high stress persons are vulnerable to more illnesses and chronic degenerative illnesses.

The ‘happy go lucky’ individual maintains optimum xeronine levels and manages to avoid serious illnesses. When a psychologist improves an individual’s mental and emotional state, any disease present may begin to improve because xeronine is no longer being stolen by the stressing incidents in the person’s life. Noni can help avoid depletion of xeronine that would ordinarily ensue from a stressful life.

Without proper xeronine levels, vitamins do not work and serious illness may result, including cancer, premature aging, viral illness, and immune system malfunction. When a protein or enzyme fails to function properly due to low xeronine levels, every cell, tissue, and organ needing that protein or enzyme may fail (heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes). Restoring correct xeronine levels may alleviate those diseases.

Dr. Heineke states that xeronine is by far the best treatment for reversing hard-core drug addiction. He states, “By flooding the brain with xeronine, the proteins in the brain are changed. Within a matter of days, brand new receptor sites are created due to xeronine’s work on proteins. Now you have normal receptor sites in the brain that respond to xeronine instead of drugs”. Nicotine addiction can be cured in three days by the same mechanism.

Noni And Pain

Many people use DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) to relieve pain. DMSO is unable to relieve pain adequately because it is a simple solvent. When DMSO is applied to the skin, it releases the skin xeronine, which gets transported deeper to the painful area where it affects cells, relieving the pain.

DMSO often acts wonderfully the first time it is applied, but works less well the second time and perhaps not at all on third application, because all the skin xeronine is gone. Time will be needed for restoring skin xeronine.

Case Reports

#1 A colleague of Dr. Heinecke gave proxeronine (Noni’s active alkaloid) to a woman who had been comatose for 3 months. Two hours later she sat up in bed and asked where she was.

# 2 A male patient became impotent and developed a rash while taking cholesterol-lowering medicine. When switched to xeronine, his cholesterol values became normal and his potency returned.

My personal knowledge of Noni is fascinating. An elderly man developed trouble walking and became confined to bed. His physician advised him that there was no medical treatment for this problem and that he would die soon. He started taking Noni, regained his ability to walk and was in good health one year later.

A 55 year old male with insulin requiring diabetes gained 35 pounds after going on insulin therapy. He started Noni and lost 25 pounds over a 6 week period. Additionally, his blood sugars have shown significant improvement.

For one month I had been troubled by a deep right lower abdominal aching that occurred several times daily, lasting only a few minutes.. This pain seemed to me like it might be from seminal vesiculitis, because it radiated into the right side of the scrotum. This pain immediately ceased after starting Noni.

Because Noni benefits both pain and infections, it was impossible to be certain which was being corrected.

Taking Noni regularly keeps body xeronine levels intact and strengthens defenses against chronic degenerative disease. As with many natural products, there are no known side effects. I think Noni might be beneficial in patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis, osteomyelitis and HIV.

Noni and Cancer

Japanese researchers determined that an antraquinone compound, found in Noni, named damnacanthal was the most active extract of 500 extracts tested against the K-ras-NRK cell, a precursor to several cancers. Noni appeared to act directly on host macrophages and lymphocytes to counteract cancer cells.

Case Reports Using Noni In Patients With Malignancies

#1 A breast cancer patient in France refused surgery and was placed on xeronine, a Noni precursor, three times daily. She made a complete recovery.

#2 A Tahitian women with cancer was given only weeks to live. A friend urged her to try Noni, which she did resulting in recovery.

#3 A Canadian female aged 35 suddenly developed a large upper abdominal tumor mass. Her physician encouraged her to have exploratory surgery but she decided to try Noni. In three days she began to vomit copiously bringing up large amounts of tissue. The mass promptly began to decrease in size. When she returned to her physician one month later the mass was gone and a scan showed no evidence of malignancy.

NONI is available as fruit and liquid. I would suggest taking 2 ounces twice daily for malignancies until you are certain you are getting better. Then the dose can be decreased to one ounce twice daily.

Noni can be found in markets and stores as a fruit which needs to be allowed to ferment so that it becomes soft and changes color from green to light yellow before consuming. Take an ounce of the fruit pulp two or three times daily until you improve when the dose can be decreased. The fruit pulp admittedly has an unpleasant taste which can be masked by grape juice concentrate or unsweetened fruit juice. Do not add sugar as this interferes with phagocytosis of bacteria and tumor cells.

Written by Dr. James A. Howenstine who is a board certified specialist in internal medicine who cared for office and hospital patients for 34 years. After 4 years of research into the field of natural health he became convinced that natural substances are safer, more effective and cheaper than drugs. His research led to writing the book; ‘A Physicians Guide to Natural Health Products That Work’. You can see more about this book and the recommended health products on their website. In Costa Rica the book is available at International Libreria and Mora book store.
