I thought that Morinda citrifolia or the source of Noni Juice as an exotic plant to be found only in Tahiti or South Pacific. It the Philippines it could be only in coastal towns near the Pacific Ocean?
Please take note that as per Dr. Tito Contado, CEO of PMCI, Morinda is no 2 among the herbal medicine; no. l is mangosteen.
But then my brother told me in the bike ride last Sunday that there are plenty of Noni juice plants in 4th st. I went there immediately after the bike ride and saw just one plant heavily laden with ripe fruits. I picked two fruits for curiosity.
This young plant is growing in front of our House
A forest of Morinda C at 4th Street in Carebi
Even at a busy street, there is fruiting morinda tree!
Today, I returned for the pictures and really my brother was right; there is a multitude. I even have a growing plant in front of the house. I must have uprooted a dozen of those young plants when I did the yard keeping.
How is the Plant Useful?
Also known at Indian mulberry, Noni or Morinda citrofollia has been used by Polynesians for 2,000 years for various diseases. According to Dr. Rey Sahelian, Noni is useful as anti viral, anti bacterial, anti hypertesive, anti inflammatory, auto immune system enhancing.
Some suggest that it is effective in cancer cure (see link at the bottom)
It exhibits mild action as anti helemnthics (eradication of worms) exhibits mild activity for infection, chewing its leaves is used for reducing blood sugar. In Bicol region, Morinda is used for controlling high blood pressure.
In some researches in cancer, Noni used in conjunction with other regimen produced significant results in controlling neoplasm growth,
Noni Juice need not be imported. It is manufactured by PMCI headed by Dr. Tito Contado; they are based in Los Banos Laguna. He can be contacted at t2contado@yahoo.com
I met with Dr. Tito Contado, the CEO of PMCI (Philippine Moringa Citrofilia Inc) the maker of PhilNoni juice as we discussed orthomolecular nutrition, and cheapcures. Dr. Tito was my guest entrepereneur in my entrep class 3 months back in Lipa City. I remember his product as one of the top 4 herbal medicine in the world. Two are from the Phil: they are mangosteen and Nino Juice and two Akai and Goji are from elsewhere in the world
Dr. Tito is a professor at UPLB, and a graduate of no less than Cornell University of New York. He worked at United Nations for 22 years and an expert on this nutritional products and alternative medicine
As I looked at the list of diseases where PhilNoni is effective, there are 30 in all. Is it a panacea?
