  1. Topic: noni fruit ; promegranate fruit ; mangosteen fruit

    I recently saw an ad from a nutritional supplement seller (maybe, Swanson
    Health Products?) featuring a capsule containing powder from these fruits:
    noni fruit; promegranate fruit; and mangosteen fruit.

  2. I got some of the noni juice concentrate. I haven't noticed anything when I
    take it. Maybe its doing some good. Who knows???

    And, I recently saw a stop light turn red. All the traffic heading
    north and south stopped. While the East/West traffic finally started
    moving.

    My question to you is: So, what? Are you suffering from dementia?
    Or, are you just an idiot?

    But this is just nasty.

  9. Was not that much for a large bottle. About $14. No more than many other
    supps. And you only take a tablespoon a day.

    I'm inclined to believe it has some good effects and have read some good
    science on it. I think it has suffered some bad press because of the people
    trying to profit from reselling it. I got mine from Life extension
    foundation.

    Put it into a search on pubmed.org and you will find some positive results.

    Tolls, like George, babble and idiots, like you, actually reply to him.

    This is a newsgroup, Dear!

    Just thought that you might want to know.

    Time for females to stop worrying about the feelings of slimy Trolls
    like George. In other words, Dear, try growing up!!!!

  13. Keep in mind that this has a laxative effect. I tried this under the
    recommendation of my docs but ended up in the bathroom more than usual. UM

  14. The stuff is PURE fraud, and there is NO "good science" their medical
    director Neil Solomon has a long history, including fraud, and turning
    in his license to avoid prosecution (he is under a consent agreement
    never to practice medicine or give medical advice)

    The Noni scammers are banned in a number of states for consumer fraud.

    Gohde isn't a troll, he's a self-professed "expert" on health
    matters. He has to be self-professed, because it's certain that
    nobody else will confer the title on him. He also has no teeth,
    which really undermines his claims at great knowledge of health.
    (I don't claim to be an expert on the subject, but at least I
    have my own teeth.)

    It's also highly amusing that Gohde calls someone an idiot for
    responding to George in the *same thread* where Gohde responded to
    George, thus making Gohde an idiot by his own definition.

  16. Who's "Neil Solomon" ?

    And there are several places to buy noni juice/powder from. It's not like
    just one guy is making money on this. That would be like saying the guy
    making money on Vitamin A is a fraud and it's sale should be banned!

    AND how do you explain the medical studies at pubmed???

    "In the dialysis population, Noni juice should be avoided because of its
    high potassium content."

    "Based on these results, the MR extracts may act as both a suppressor of
    bone resorption and an enhancer of bone formation in vivo and may have
    some favorable effects for preventing and treating the osteoporosis
    induced by sciatic neurectomy."

    Those are for people with medical problems.

    However, what happens when a healthy person drinks it?

    Herbal hepatotoxicity: acute hepatitis caused by a Noni preparation
    (Morinda citrifolia).

    Millonig G, Stadlmann S, Vogel W.

    Clinical Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Medical University
    of Innsbruck, Austria. [email hidden]

    A 45-year-old patient was sent to our department because of highly
    elevated transaminases and elevated lactate dehydrogenase. His medical
    history was unremarkable and he took no medication on regular basis.
    Physical examination did not detect any abnormalities. There was no
    evidence for viral hepatitis, Epstein-Barr virus or cytomegalovirus,
    autoimmune hepatitis, Budd-Chiari syndrome, haemochromatosis or Wilson's
    disease. During the interview he admitted that for 'prophylactic
    reasons' he had been drinking the juice of Noni (Morinda citrifolia), a
    Polynesian herbal remedy made from a tropical fruit, during the
    preceding 3 weeks. This gave rise to the suspicion of herbal toxicity,
    which was confirmed by a liver biopsy. After ceasing the ingestion of
    Noni, transaminase levels normalized quickly and were within normal
    ranges 1 month after the first presentation. To our knowledge, this is
    the first report of hepatotoxicity caused by this herbal remedy, which
    has been highly praised in the tabloid press.

    Case Reports

    Hmmmm...hepatotoxic...

    No thanks.

  18. And, the only reason you are responding to this THREAD is moi.

    That makes you an even bigger fool and waster of time.

    Ha, ... Hah, Ha!

    Oh, by the way. My site was just re-certified again on 7/21/05.

    Just thought that an idiot like you would want to know. 🙂

    Those are for people with medical problems.

    Mark, thanks for this info.

    A 45-year-old patient was sent to our department because of highly
    elevated transaminases and elevated lactate dehydrogenase. His medical
    history was unremarkable and he took no medication on regular basis.
    Physical examination did not detect any abnormalities. There was no
    evidence for viral hepatitis, Epstein-Barr virus or cytomegalovirus,
    autoimmune hepatitis, Budd-Chiari syndrome, haemochromatosis or Wilson's
    disease. During the interview he admitted that for 'prophylactic
    reasons' he had been drinking the juice of Noni (Morinda citrifolia), a
    Polynesian herbal remedy made from a tropical fruit, during the
    preceding 3 weeks. This gave rise to the suspicion of herbal toxicity,
    which was confirmed by a liver biopsy. After ceasing the ingestion of
    Noni, transaminase levels normalized quickly and were within normal
    ranges 1 month after the first presentation. To our knowledge, this is
    the first report of hepatotoxicity caused by this herbal remedy, which
    has been highly praised in the tabloid press.

    Hmmmm...hepatotoxic...

    No thanks.

  20. Your bias is showing here. You didn't list ANY of the positive studies. More
    of them than the negative. And you need to put in the proper name. Not
    "noni".
    You think that if that's all I had read, I would have got some?

    Stacy.
