No, Noni does not cure cancer. But it can give you tremendous nutritional support for the battle.

To cite just one of many studies: Researchers at the University of Hawaii School of Medicine introduced cells containing a strain of lung cancer known as Lewis Lung Carcinoma into a group of mice especially bred to be highly susceptible to this type of cancer. Within 12 days, the mice that were not given the Noni Fruit extract had all died. However, the group of mice given the extract remained alive and healthy through the end of the trial!

Of course, mice are not human beings. Even still, this is rather compelling research.

HOW DOES NONI DO IT?

Noni Juice supports the immune system in the following ways:

1. According to a study at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Noni may have the ability to help disrupt the vascular (blood) networks that support cancerous tumors. At certain concentrations, Noni was able to "induce vessel degeneration and apoptosis in malignant tumor tissue in cells with established capillary networks within a few days of its application". (Apoptosis is a form of cell death in which a controlled sequence of events leads to the elimination of cells without releasing harmful substances into the surrounding area.)

2. Another study at the John Burns School of Medicine reports: "Morinda Citrifolia (Noni) has been found to possess both prophylactic (preventative) and therapeutic potentials against the immunomodulator sensitive Sarcoma 180 tumor system”.

3. A study done by the scientists at UIC College of Medicine found that Noni was "able to prevent DMBA-DNA adduct formation”. DNA Adducts are one of the early stages of DNA mutation that scientists believe ultimately causes cancer. Here is more info about DNA Adducts (also in wikipedia).

4. Noni was also found to be an “inhibitor of Ras function". Ras cells are a precursor to some types of cancer.

5. The phytochemicals in Noni Juice are receiving a lot of attention for their ability to interrupt the cancer process. Senior Science Advisor to the U.S. Public Health Service, Dr. D.L. Davis states, "Phytochemicals can take tumors and defuse them. They can turn off the proliferative process of cancer”.

6. In fact, Noni makes the body's existing system work better in the fight against disease. As you are probably already aware, white blood cells are the body's mechanism for fighting many diseases. It turns out that "Noni increases the ability of the immune system to produce chemicals that enhance the killing power of the white blood cells".

Nothing But Noni Juice is not a cure for cancer. However, it is a powerful nutritional supplement to use in your battle against this devastating disease.
