Question: Hello,

I have had some problems with diverticulosis and was wandering what could help prevent and or relieve flare-ups

Thank you

Answer: Dan,

Probiotic Flora-Health (1/day) and Noni Juice (1 oz. 2x/day) would be a good start. I would also get this book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle and follow its recommendations. Starch, gluten, and beans are most likely irritating the intestines  contributing to the prolongation or severity of your condition. Eliminating dairy (cow’s milk products) wouldn’t hurt either.

I hope this helps.

Question: Hello, my grandmother gave me a booklet about noni juice. She has Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

The booklet she showed me was from this company – tahitiannoni.com

My question is, I’m looking for as close to pure as possible noni juice. My grandmom won’t mind taking it straight but what can we use to ease the taste without deactivating any of the nutrients.

Second, she is taking Ranitidine, but only when needed. Can she stop taking it if continuous use of noni juice?

Thanks for your help. I saw your video because I didn’t just settle for the booklet. I did some research and saw your video and you seem to have the pure stuff.

Thanks for your time with my questions

Answer: Mike,

Our Totally Nude Noni (100% pure organic noni juice) and our Almost Nude Noni (98% pure organic noni juice with 2% organic juice extract – flavor formula) will both works perfectly here. Our 98% product tastes pretty good and is no less beneficial than our 100% formula.

As far as here medication goes, your grand mom can try going without and if the symptoms don’t go away or become too unbearable, she can always go back on the meds.

Shoot me an e-mail and let me know which juice you chose and how it works out for your grandma.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marcus Ettinger, B.Sc., D.C.

“We love caoh’s noni juice so much. Anytime I get the feeling that maybe a cold is trying to get me, I take extra shots of noni during the day and as a result I NEVER get sick, and I mean never. Of course eating 100% organic helps with building a strong immune system, of that I am convinced. Noni juice saved our dog! It helps him with pain tolerance and put an obvious spring in his step. Before noni, the first eight years of his life, his ears folded over at the tip (he’s a chihuahua). The only time his ears would straighten would be when he was excited. Ever since he started ingesting noni juice, starting with the third day, and now over the last two or three years, his ears are ALWAYS pointed straight up 24/7. Talk about cause and effect!!!”

You are welcome! Do you mind if I post your noni write-up? I think it speaks volumes to the true power of noni. Take care. Dr. Ettinger

Not at all! The more dogs which are helped, the better. He’s a ten pound dog and we give him 1/2 tsp both in the morning and 1/2 tsp at night mixed in his food. What’s more is that I originally gave the dog the noni without my partner knowing (I knew she wouldn’t be receptive because she’s very protective and skeptical) On the third day I asked, “It’s like he’s a new dog, huh?” She agreed and said “yes, it’s like he’s a new dog.” That’s when I confessed what I had done with noni and his food. When she found out what I did, she got mad at me. So I told the dog, “Sorry Panchito, your master doesn’t want you to feel better. No more noni for you!” After a few days of no noni, Panchito’s head started drooping again and he walked around looking kind of depressed. My partner told me to start giving noni to Panchito again. I’m talking night and day difference in this dog. So ever since then the dog has been on noni…and after a couple of weeks, his master started taking it daily too! ha! When you add in its amazing abilities to heal burns, cuts, scrapes, and skin inflammation that won’t go away, we are big believers in noni juice. I have lots of noni-used-on-skin testimonies, if it weren’t so sticky, I’d use it on my face to see what it could do.

All the best to you and yours…

Jason

Hi Dr. Ettinger,

I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me be free from all Lyme symptoms for good! I was diagnosed with Lyme about three years ago and received antibiotic therapy about four months exposure. I hadn’t seen any bite or “bullseye”, but went to the Doctor after having multiple physical complaints and generally not feeling well. I was treated with antibiotics and felt much better; But, the symptoms began to return especially when I had more stress in my life…Things like low energy, head fogginess, very poor short term memory, mood swings, left hand tremor..between 2-4 in the afternoon…and these were all the symptoms I had upon initial diagnosis as well as an irregular heartbeat on and off. Anyway, after another run of antibiotic therapy that was only briefly helpful, I went to CAOH.com and “asked the doctor”. You recommended Liquid Power Multi-V, Absolute Acai, Totally Nude Noni Juice, Ultra Supreme Greens, and Vitamin D 5000 IU’s/day and Resveratrol……I have to admit I forget to take some of them daily, but I am symptom free for over a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope this helps other Lyme sufferers,

Sincerely,

Jane Buckley

Eczema is a chronic skin condition, characterized by dry, red, flaky patches of skin.  Eczema appears most commonly on the face, neck, elbows, wrists, knees, behind the ears, and on the scalp. During acute episodes, the patches become oozing, inflamed, and itchy.  There are currently two recognized classifications of dermatitis: atopic and contact.  Contact dermatitis is typically aggravated by direct skin contact with allergens, such as chemicals, wool, lanolin, soap, or cosmetics.  Atopic eczema is usually triggered by inhaled or ingested allergens, such as certain foods, pollen, dust, or animal dander.  Some literature discusses a third classification, "dysregulatory microbial eczemas."  This category refers to eczema caused by the introduction of microflora into the horny layer of the skin, and a breakdown in the epidermis, resulting in inflammation.

Food allergies appear to play a significant role in atopic dermatitis.  The presence of severe eczema has been associated with an increased tendency to produce food-specific IgE antibodies.  Although the subject is debated, maternal antigen exposure during pregnancy and lactation may increase the chance of eczema in infancy.  Studies have confirmed that women who avoid antigens during pregnancy and lactation, and exclusively breast feed have reduced occurrence of infants with atopic eczema.

Antioxidant nutrients help support the immune system especially when the body is under stress, thereby, reducing the risk of many illnesses including cancer, cardiovascular disease and other chronic degenerative diseases.  It is not advisable to take large amounts of one or two antioxidants while excluding the rest.  For optimal protection, a nutritional supplement program should include multiple antioxidants.  The primary antioxidants are vitamins A, C, E, beta-carotene, selenium, coenzyme Q10, and lipoic acid.  Also, there are other powerful antioxidant sources such as selenium, grape seed extract, and green tea.  There are many other nutrients that also function as antioxidants.

AA case-control, population-based study was published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition to investigate the link between antioxidant nutrient intake and the risk of atopic dermatitis (AD) in children.  The researchers enrolled 180 children with atopic dermatitis and 242 without AD all being five years old.  Their diets were assessed by using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and fasting blood samples were used to analyze fat-soluble vitamins such as retinol, alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene and vitamin C.  The results were a reduction of AD by 56 percent in children with the highest intake of beta-carotene in comparison to children with the lowest intake.  There was a similar association with vitamin E at 67 percent, folic acid at 63 percent and iron at 61 percent reduction in AD risk.  Highest levels of alpha-tocopherol were associated with a 36 percent reduced risk of AD and retinol was at 26 percent lower risk.  The researchers stated “These findings suggest that higher antioxidant nutritional status reduces the risk of AD and that such risk-reduction effects depend on nutrient type.”

THANKS,
DALE FRANKENBERG

Dale,

A: I would add the Probiotic FloraHealth (1 per day) and a (1 Tbsp/day) of the Ultra Supreme Greens powder. If you want to cover every base, add an ounce of noni juice each day. It’s amazing for the stomach and intestines.

Let me know if you have any additional questions or need any help with ordering the products.

Sincerely,

Noni – the almost forgotten superfruit!

Our Beginning – Noni!

Noni juice was the very first product we ever offered, over 10 years ago now.  We were one of the first to import the juice from the island of Tahiti, getting it bottled here in the US.  Since that time noni juice has been sold all over the world and we ourselves have sold literally tens of thousands of bottles.

Over the last couple of years our other Superfruits have stolen some of the limelight from this tried-and-true fruit, to our regret.  We have so many customers that call to tell us that Noni has helped their sports injuries, digestion, and other difficulties.  We wanted to make sure that Noni was still something that all of you were thinking about! 

Our Noni Juice is as good as it can get.  Still imported from Tahiti (the best source), certified organic and kosher, and with a wonderful fruit puree blend in our Almost Nude Noni to cut that "interesting" taste.  (We still have the Nude 100% Noni for any purists out there!)

The bottom line is that noni is an incredible little fruit, it may not taste very good, but wow the benefits!  We have written and gathered great information about this special fruit – yes even before wikidpedia existed!

Take a look at the following articles:

Noni a fruit worth knowing!
