Now who's making unsubstantiated claims? Liver damage? Give me a break!

I posted a case report which showed that one person sustained a
hepatotixic reaction. Either you missed it, did not read it when I
posted it (you did respond to it) or did not understand it. Be that as
it may, here it is again:

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.

Now who's making unsubstantiated claims? Liver damage? Give me a break!

As Mark Probert pointed out, the documented case of NONI liver damage
was posted in this thread very recently. I don't know if this weakness
is comprehension, memory, carelessness or what.

I want to leave you with a healthy suggestion. Maybe substitute
something healthier for Noni for a couple weeks at a time and look for
signs of improved memory or comprehension. In this way you can test if
the NONI is causing a problem. Maybe try apple juice or Koolaid.

It doesn't matter whether you are (possibly) allergic to Noni or being
poisoned by it like the case already posted. The Noni victim in that
case recovered from his poisoning and you may be able to so also.
Maximizing your recovery is the important thing.

I take a tablespoon every few days. I don't think that would present a
problem.

As for liver damage and that study at pubmed there aren't enough details on
what was going on with that particular patient/study. And of course very
high doses of anything is not good. Also you can over due potassium just as
any other vit. mineral.

I've read similiar such warning about vitamin A & C.
And of course iron and copper can be deadly when overdone.
There's also been warnings about calcium builde up in the arteries yet most
people need higher doses of calcium as they age.

You can find adverse reactions on just about any vitamin or mineral if you
LOOK for it.

I'm not drinking bottles of the stuff. I'm using a tablespoon every other
day if I think about it, just as I take other supps.

Noni is not only over hyped but is also over demonized.

You either did not understand it or did not read it. Firstly, it is not
a "study" but a case report. The physicians ruled out every known cause
of the patient's problems and then he coughed up the fact that he was
taking this chemical cocktail, a/k/a noni juice.

I wonder if the packaging advises that there is a limit to how much.

And of course very

Stacy,
It seems that although the point of newsgroups is to share information and
ask questions in good nature, some people take it to an extreme here.

I have done a little research into noni juice myself, when a friend
mentioned it. I don't know if you have heard of monosacharides or
glyconutrients, but basically on every cell in a person's body their are
glyco-proteins and then there are monosacharides attached to those
glyco-proteins. These monosacharides or glyconutrients are how the cells
communicate. To make a long scientific explaination short, we get these
glyconutrients through our diets, but since all our fruits and vegetables
are picked green and shipped cross country, they fail to have those vital
nutrients in them because the fruits and vegetables were not allowed to
"vine-ripen". Anyways, basically if our cells aren't communicating, then
that results in sickness, diseases, etc. There are 8 vital monosacharides
and our body only produces 2 on a regular basis, so if we aren't getting the
other 6, then it isn't so mind boggling why disease and sickness is on the
rise!

As far as noni-juice goes, it has I believe, 1 or 2 of the 8 glyconutrients
in it. I believe if I understand what noni juice is, it is basically the
juice from an almost rotten noni fruit. So therefore, that fruit was allowed
to vine ripen and therefore has some nutrients in it.

Anyways, I am not an expert, but thought I would share what I have found so
far. www.glycoinformation.org is a purely informational, educational site
that is interesting. Also, www.glycoscience.org is a scientific site on the
science of glycomics and glycobiology.

MannaDRECK has been around for quite a while. They had a supplement that
they claimed treated AD/HD, until the FTC got invovled after a complaint
was filed. They were my personal introduction to the world of
AlternativeQuackFraud.

I am here to share information. Yes, Mannatech is the prime company that
first made health supplements with the necessary glyconutrients in them. But
there are other company's popping up.

As far as I am concerned, everyone needs to know about the neccessity of
"glyconutrients" and what they are. As far as getting those glyconutrients
it is up to them to choose the company or product they want to use.

Here is third-party information for you skeptics who say it's all Mannatech
hype!

Harpers Biochemistry, a medical textbook that has been educating healthcare
professionals about Glyconutrients and their role in health and healing
since 1996.

The Physician's Desk Reference (PDR), is used by 99% of all doctors and
healthcare professionals before recommending solutions to their patients.
Glyco-nutrients are listed for compromised immune systems.

Science Magazine, the premier journal for researchers and scientists
recently dedicated an entire issue to educating the science and medical
community about Glyconutrients, Glycobiology and Glycoscience. March 23 2001
Special Issue: Carbohydrates & Glycobiology

Acta Anatomica
Glycosciences - issue 161/1-4/98

International Journal of Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology.

Glycosylation is the most common form of protein and lipid modification but
its biological significance has long been underestimated. The last decade,
however, has witnessed the rapid emergence of the concept of the sugar code
of biological information: indeed, monosaccharides represent an alphabet of
biological information similar to amino acids and nucleic acids but with
unsurpassed coding capacity.

Technology Review (MIT)

Sugars could be biology's next sweet spot.

The 1990s may well be remembered in biology as the decade of the gene,
culminating in the completion of the Human Genome Project's working draft.
And the next big thing in medicine may be the study of the proteins coded
for by all those genes. But even as doctors and drug companies struggle to
interpret and exploit the recent explosion of data on genes and proteins,
yet another field of biology is waiting to break out: glycomics. This
emerging discipline seeks to do for sugars and carbohydrates what genomics
and proteomics have done for genes and proteins-move them into the
mainstream of biomedical research and drug discovery.

Scientific American - MEDICINE
Changing Cancer Cells' "Surface Sugars" can Inhibit Tumor Growth - Jan. 22,
2002
Click Here for the Complete Article.

The key to halting cancer cells may lie in their sugary coats, scientists
say. Carbohydrate molecules surround all cells and help them to identify and
interact with one another. Now new research, published today in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, indicates that altering
some of the surface sugars associated with cancer cells can control tumor
growth. The findings suggest that the sugars could one day serve as targets
for new anti-cancer therapies.

Those are all VALID scientific resources. I certainly hope there isn't a
"conspiracy" between them all to "scam" as many people as they can!!
