Depression and Noni
ROLE OF NONI
IN STRESS, DEPRESSIONS, INSOMNIA (SLEEPLESSNESS)
STRESS AND ITS EFFECTS –
Stress is something due to constant worry about family matters, relationship, health concerns; job pressure etc seriously affects our metabolism and cause sleep deprivation. This is the domino effects of stress.
The body’s management of stress relies on the nervous system, and the closely linked endocrine system (also known as the hormone secreting system). The inability to predict life’s events, and the loss of control in an unstable environment, s creates stress that can easily increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Nutrition and stress
The role of nutrition plays a greater role in stress management. Along with other certain nutrients, Noni is key element in combating stress. But before we can fully understand how important nutrition is in managing stress, we should understand what happens in the body on a chemical level.
The Biochemistry of stress
Let’s take a closer look at what happens in the body when we perceive a threat. The brain receives a stimulus we call a stressor and the hypothalamic area of the brain is stimulated. A message is immediately sent to the pituitary (the endocrine gland situated in brain), which in turn stimulates the adrenal gland and the sympathetic nervous system. From here, messages go to many organs of the body such as the heart, lungs and stomach.
In a fraction of second, the entire body is changing to meet the demand. The pulse quickness, the lungs takes in more oxygen to fuel the muscles. Muscles tension increases, blood pressure goes up, pupils dilate, and perspiration increases. These physiological preparations occur, to some degree, every time we face a stressful situation.
NONI JUICE
To help manage this automatic chemical process that our body experience when we are face with either a physical or mental stressor, we have to keep and maintain our optimal internal well being intact. This is only possible when each of our organs is running smoothly. Since organs are made of cells, then cellular health is of extreme importance in maintaining optimal internal well-being.
Xeronine
NONI juice rejuvenates the cells of the body, in addition to vital organs and glands. This rejuvenation is mainly due to a substance called xeronine. According extensive research by Dr. Ralph Heinicke one vital element called proxeronine found in NONI juice which is converted to xeronine in our body. This xeronine is distributed to cells within the body through the Golgi apparatus. Dr. Neil Solomon illustrates how xeronine is distributed in the body by using the image of a mail carrier getting letters to the correct address. The Golgi apparatus is the mail carrier carrying the xeronine to all the addresses of sick cell that are in need of xeronine. Xeronine is necessary for the body to strengthen and repair cells in all of the body’s organs. In a very important laboratory experiment, Dr. Ralph Heinicke showed that 100 percent of the mice who were fed purified xeronine along with the deadly poison tetrodotoxin, survived. Conversely, 100 percent of the mice who were fed just tetrodotoxin died. These other results from his work show xeronine’s ability to rejuvenate and repair cells.
Noni as an Anti – oxidant
NONI juice is extremely high in anti – oxidants, and it has a most important anti-oxidant quality in the body. Anti-oxidants help to prevent the destruction of cells from excessive oxidation, super oxides, and free radicals:
Oxidation of the cells is caused by (among other things) stress. When the immune system is in overdrive from tress, then there is an overproduction of internal steroids and hormones that cause a snowball reaction of more stress. The result of this process is that instead of being our body’s defense against disease, the immune system becomes our body’s adversary.
Further, NONI juice has macrophage phagocytosis immune system activity that makes it the single most effective therapy necessary to counteract an autoimmune system problem that is generally brought on by degenerative stress causing a chronic lack of gastrointestinal integrity.
Our autonomic bodily functions, systems and organs, expect to have the necessary neutraceuticals including, but not limited to vitamins, minerals, proteins, proper dietary and plant nutrition. Noni juice in the cells lessens the oxidative stress of DNA, thus preventing mutant protein synthesis, age related diseases and rapid aging, and this promotes a long quality, disease free life.
Poor nutrition, coupled with high levels of stress for long periods of time, is definitely a cause for illness. When we are under stress, our body releases the stress hormone cortisol, corticosteroids and other internals steroids. These hormones then cause the proinflammatory immune factor (IL-6) to be excreted. IL-6 exacerbates auto immune conditions. The powerful inflammatory immune factor also pulls calcium from the bones into the arteries, thus causing arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, as well as osteoporosis. It also destroys the individuals’ vitamin K. Noni Juice, the miracle plant from paradise, has over 150 phytonutraceuticals, including calcium. In addition, as an adaptogen, Noni Juice allows the body’s biochemistry to react more positively to the hormones and other substances released during a stress response.
Free Radicals
Important biochemicals in the body are typically made up chains. When those chains are broken either by stress due to the overproduction of certain hormones inside the body, it is like a strand of pearls breaking apart on the floor. Try as you might, you cannot catch them all at once. Once of a chain has been broken, our bodies cannot “round up” up these free radicals all at once.
Depending on the overall health of our bodies, free radicals may roam inside the body causing a lot of damage to cells. In fact, free radicals have been known to hit a cell so hard that it damages a cell’s mitochondria which is located in the center of the cell. This is where the rejurivenating ability of the xeronine found in Noni is so essential.
NONI Juice Helps Relieve Cellular Stress.
Our autonomic bodily functions, systems and organs, expect to have the necessary neutraceuticals, including, but not limited to vitamins, minerals, proteins proper dietary and plant nutrition, that is absolutely mandatory for continuing peak performance. When these organs and systems don’t get exactly what the need, they go into a state of degeneration, followed by debil tating subtle stress.
Sick stressed out cells find relief with Noni juice. The unlimited essential nutraceuticals present in Noni get inside the sick stressed cell and repaired it.
Transfer Factor and Noni
The body’s immune system is a very complicated, multifaceted system. The immune system must recognize invaders and react to each invading alien substance. Then it has to remember the alien substance so it can react to it even more quickly the next time it tries to invade the body. The immune system is able to perform these functions using hormone like signal substances called transfer factors or neuro transmitter. When the immune system is low on transfer factors from chronic and degenerative stress, it starts to have problems to the point where it actually turns on the body it is supposed to protect.
However, Noni Juice helps create and acts as a catalyst to the amino acids from which transfer factors are made. Through its boosting of the body’s creation of amino acids. Noni juice may speed up the transfer factor inducer function in already healthy bodies, and it may also stimulate to the transfer factor function to work again in depleted bodies suffering from chronic stress and related diseases.
Positive thinking and stress
We must remember that opportunistic organisms are that way by nature. They are always looking for a weak link, and home! Our bodies have fantastic rejuvenating power that is literally built on. With proper nutrition including NONI juice, exercise, and positive thinking, you can shield your body from those organisms wanting to get in your body and make you sick.
CAUSE OF DEPRESSION AND THE SEROTONIN CONNECTION
There is not one single factor that can be pinpointed as the cause of depression. Thyroid conditions can cause mental depression. Female hormone imbalance can cause mental depression. Grief and loss can cause mental depression. Medication, chronic pain, genetics, gender and possibly viral infections can cause depression. Some studies indicate that environmental factors like poverty or abuse, contribute to the cause of depression. Living with a depressed family member or an ill parent can also predispose a person to depression.
Although the cause of depression varies greatly from one person to the next, most people with depression have something in common: low levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin, also called 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), is the brain's `happy chemical.’ Serotonin is often referred to as the body's natural mood-altering drug and changes in serotonin levels can quickly alter mood. If serotonin levels drop to low levels, depression is almost sure to follow. It is manufactured in our body using the amino acid tryptophan. When tryptophan is readily available, the body can use it if needed to increase serotonin levels. Manufactured by the body, it is found along with its receptor sites in the brain, blood platelets, and lining of the digestive tract. It is also a precursor to a hormone called melatonin, which plays multiple life giving roles in the body, including regulating biological rhythms. The pineal body present in our brain plays an important role in secretion of serotonin and melatonin
Drive away depression with NONI
NONI helps in correcting the depression symptoms in the following ways
NONI a safe Way to Increase Serotonin
Noni juice is a normal and safe way for us to increase the effects of this feel good hormone. Whole foods such as NONI juice that elevate serotonin levels naturally, have no side effects. Using precise proportions and relationships to one another, nature combines vitamins, minerals, and other phytochemicals, co-factors that make up our food, so as to enhance the benefits of each individual component. In its innate wisdom, the body decides what it needs from nutrients and eliminates anything it does not need.
NONI helps keeps and maintain our endocrine system in a balance condition
NONI by its unique combination of all its ingredients and phytochemicals keeps our all endocrine systems in a well balance condition including thyroid gland. The abnormal secretion of thyroid hormone is also one cause of depression. By keeping the thyroid gland optimal condition also indirectly helps to relieve thyroid related depression symptoms.
NONI contains the amino acid tryptophan
NONI juice contains 17 amino acids among the total 20 amino acids including all 10 essential amino acid. The amino acid tryptophan plays a great role in manufacturing this neuro transmitter serotonin. When tryptophan is readily available, the body can use it if needed to increase serotonin levels.
In the survey conducted of the 1,111 people who consumed Noni for help with their depression, 77 percent reported some of their symptoms decreased after drinking Noni.
NONI AND ITS ROLE IN SLEEPLESSNESS (INSOMNIA)
What Causes Insomnia?
There are many possible causes of insomnia. Sometimes there is one main cause, but often several factors interacting together will cause a sleep disturbance. The causes of insomnia include:
Psychological Causes – Anxiety, Stress, Depression,
Physical Causes - Hormonal changes in women. These include premenstrual syndrome, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause
Decreased melatonin – The levels of melatonin, the hormone that helps control sleep, decrease as a person ages. By age 60, the body produces very little melatonin.
Medical conditions like arthritis, asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, and Parkinson's disease.
Other cause - poor eating habits, caffeine and tea habit, smoking habit, cat-naps sleep in day time, & lack of exercise can also effect on your sleep.
Pain - Pain and discomfort from a medical illness or injury often interfere with sleep.
Role of NONI in insomnia
Noni helps to reduce your mental stress, anxiety, depression by maintaining your serotonin level in your body in a balance condition. Serotonin is an important initiator of sleep. Our body makes serotonin from the amino acid tryptophan. Noni is rich with tryptophan, hence Noni helps to raise serotonin levels and promote sleep
Noni may helps to keep your endocrine system in a balance condition and helps to reduce insomnia with hormonal imbalance related cause
Melatonin is a hormone secreted naturally by the pineal gland. Melatonin is the sleep hormone. Melatonin is secreted mainly at night. Noni helps to secret more melatonin from the pineal gland of our body.
Noni may helps to reduce pain in many chronic diseases by its selective COX-2 enzyme inhibiting property. Hence Noni may also help in sleeplessness associated with pain.
Poor eating habits, lack of proper nutrition is also one cause of sleeplessness. Noni is rich with all vitamins, essential minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and 150+ other important micro nutrients which we don’t get from any other food or herb. So Noni helps to provide your body a super cellular food.

Infertility - What is it?
Infertility primarily refers to the biological inability of a person to contribute to conception. Infertility may also refer to the state of a woman who is unable to carry a pregnancy to full term. There are many biological causes of infertility, some which may be bypassed with medical intervention. Women who are fertile experience a natural period of fertility before and during ovulation, and they are naturally infertile during the rest of the menstrual cycle. Fertility awareness methods are used to discern when these changes occur by tracking changes in cervical mucus or basal body temperature

Broiler Chicken may lead to Poly cystic ovaries and infertility
Broiler chicken causes infertility (PCOD/ PCOS)
In my studies at rVita health center with patients suffering from Poly cystic ovaries and female infertility it was clear that the modern day broiler chicken intake has a clear effects on women reproductive hormones and health. 25 years back country like India were truly on naturally grown country chicken when the incidence of PCOD is 59% lesser reported. Currently the entire country lives on artificially growth accelerated chicken which the country pays now as highest incidences of female infertility.
Physiologically if you look at the growth stages of Broiler chicken, they attain fullest growth just on 40 days which was originally 90 days. The growth accelerators used has a very negative impact on the female reproductive hormones and leads to PCOD or infertility.
What is important? - Artificially grown Broiler chicken (protein) intake or your children's reproductive health and healthy generation???
