Nani “Noni”
People had more or less gotten sick of my excuses for a late update, so
I shall save on explaining myself. For those who have been wondering why
is Saru-Ji always dressed in a robe, I hope this page will help you
understand it better. Ha ha.
Now let’s talk about what we are so ever concerned about: HEALTH. Yes, I
manage
to read a latest article about the Hawaiian “noni”; a miracle fruit with
amazing healing properties like many of the wonderous plants and fruits
like Neem, Gingko Nuts and good ol’ oranges. “Noni” I must admit is like
nothing I seen, and I am surprised that it can be eaten, let alone be
consumed for its amazing qualities. The Hawaiian site promoting this
fruit native to Hawaii says:
The Noni plant is a small evergreen tree that grows along Hawaii’s
beaches and in forest areas up to 1,300 feet. It has been used for
centuries by the Hawaiians to treat heart problems, diabetes, high blood
pressure, arthritis, and other degenerative ailments.
It has recently been brought back to popularity as new and exciting
scientific findings have been released. Most recently, a federal grant
was given to the University of Hawaii to study Noni as a possible cure
for cancer.
Noni has many anti-aging and life extending properties. It is the
world’s richest source of cellular rejuvenating enzymes-that fortify the
immune system, regenerate your body’s cells and actually reverse the
aging process!
We do not make any claims that Noni cures diseases or ailments; however,
people taking Noni on a consistent basis have experienced remarkable
recoveries from various medical conditions.
Noni grows throughout the South Pacific but Noni grown in Hawaii may be
the purest and most potent variety in the world. Why? There is no
pollution!
Many companies buy their fruit from French Polynesia because it’s less
expensive. “Studies reveal that in the last 30 years over 200 powerful
nuclear explosions have been detonated in that region. Massive nuclear
testing has left Polynesia’s fragile and intricate ecosystem deeply and
permanently scarred, toxic, dangerous and in many cases lethal.” This
news came from medical researcher, E. Chamberland M.D., PhD. This is a
world away from the environment of the Hana coast on Maui, where much of
our Noni is grown and harvested.
NoniMaui is harvested and processed using the traditional Hawaiian
methods. This insures “Grade A” 100% purity and potency. Much of the
fruit offered by NoniMaui grows and is harvested from wild plants where
no pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers have been used. They
are the same plants that the Hawaiians planted long ago and used as
medicine.
While I am fully convinced that it is a special fruit that will benefit
human health, I am sceptical about the fruits ability to reverse aging
process. For if it is so, I will certain get some for Saru-Ji… he needs
it more than anyone else. I am an extremely pro-Nature sort of person,
and I think the ‘noni’ is yet another more recent evidence of the
wonders of Nature and the benefit it can yield to Mankind. I mean the
only reason why people are destroying every single bit of forest is due
to the belief that some plants like the ‘noni’ can give us some good…
However, even if it doesn’t do us ANY good, shouldn’t we just conserve
Nature for the fact that our lives are nevertheless tied closely to it?
Nature sneezes and the World catches a cold – the recent Tsunami
incident is a sheer demonstration of what Nature is capable of. No, I am
not promoting a “fear-and-trembling” principle, just that I love Nature,
and I do not seek to find good stuff or returns out of my love for
Nature; I don't need Neem or “noni” to remind me that I need Nature, the
love, is purely out of passion.
