Q: Scam

Before anyone buys noni juice, believing that something good may happen to them.

Do a google search for the truth! The amount of this piece of garbage fruit that is in the drink is so miniscule that there is not any of the antioxidents from the fruit. It is supplemented and many other items are added in to make it pallateable.

This is a total scam and no one should waste their money on this.

I would rephrase it and say there is no evidence that noni juice does anything that the manufacturer or salespeople says it does. I've researched noni juice on my own and have found only one study that demonstrates any usefulness of the juice...And the study was in a rat. The post was nothing more than an advertisement.

My fiance was invited to a presentation by someone who seemed knowledgeable about finances and was talking about making money and so on.

So I went with my fiancee to this presentation not really knowing what to expect and it was to sell tahitian noni juice. We were not interested!! It was this whole pyramid thing going on and so many people in the audience were in on it (i could tell by the exaggerated actions and comments) it seemed so rehearsed.

They said to buy some books that would teach you how to sell the product or something. They were asking for $200 to get 2 or 3 books and 3 bottles of this juice.

I also saw a sign out front that if you were a member you had to pay $10 to get in to the presentation!

We left before it was over!!! This all seemed like a scam!

Yes it was a scam. They are called ponzi organizations and they make their money based on the ignorance of the people they con into selling thier snake oil.

My in-laws were selling nekkin magnets and that is all my father-in-law would talk to me about. I told him that I was not interested in magnets and that there was no way on earth I woul dbe paying $180.00 a month for multi-vitamins. I take one-a-day brand and that is that.

Needless to say, consumer reports did a report on how effective magnets are and I was not suprised to see that the folks that had the magnet shoe inserts had more foot problems then those that either had regular shoe inserts or no inserts.

Do not get involved in amway, avon, princess house, nekkin, tahitian noni, usana, fill in the company, unless you want to alienate yourself from all of your friends and family and lose all of the money you have. These companies are wealthy not because they sell product but because they sell little companies to all of the people that are crazy enough to believe that they can build a little pyramid of success on the backs of thier family.

Good luck to those that believe it is helpful but to those that are worried about getting involed, it is the voice of reason that you are hearing and you need to run away from the scam artists trying to get into your wallet.

Unbiased Research Helps
I was skeptical at fist, just as all should be, but after about a month's research I decided to try it. It does work. You don't have to join to get the juice at a good price. Just because something sounds good doesn't mean it's not.

If you dig deeper you can find that research on the noni tree and it's fruit started a good while ago. Not only that, tahitian noni is the only noni studied, not hawaiian or any other.

The biggest flaw made by people is that they do not drink it consistantly, and they do not drink enough. When you go to the doctor and he gives you a proscription, you don't not take it or take half thinking that it will save you money in the end.

All in all just do the research, you don't have to join the organization, just find an independent distributor and see if the'll sell it to you for less than retail.

I will allow impartial research speak for me.


these are just 2 of the many resources available with a simple google search.

Of course the vast majority of sites are links to snake oil sales websites but if you look at just the first page of hits, these 2 links come up.



The stuff is junk and anyone selling it needs a good cane'ing for lying to the people that are being suckered into buying it. 9 out of 10 times however the goal is not to sell noni juice but to sell a noni juice business so the pyramid scam can just keep on robbing people blind.

Just One Herb Is Enough If It Is Good.
Just wild lingzhi, scare as few will flourish in about 10,000 dead tree trunks but commercially they are cultivated widely in most countries and marketed by mlm. It is like diamonds from the earth but there are plentiful lab. Made diamonds and artificial ones that are different from natural product.

They will always say it was a scam. I really think that noni juice helps. I can feel it, especially for digestion. People are making money on it, as on everything else but do we really have a good proof that it is complete scam?? Fda claims that vitamins are bad also.

Vitamins Are Bad
I'll tell you what you show me the study the fda did that says vitamins are bad and we shouldnt take them. And I will sign up under you in the noni stuff.

If the report says the abuse of vitamins is bad than I wont.

If you can also prove to me that the noni you use is no where near the old us nucular testing facilitys, than I will.

Also you need to prove to me that this will be all that I need is the noni.

I wont need to supplement anything, not one mineral or vitmin or anything.

Noni must be it

also I would like to know that I would be taking a high orac score product do you have the score of noni?

Here is a direct article qoute from consumer reports medical guide with regard to noni.

" noni juice:
this juice, from a polynesian tropical fruit called morinda, has rocketed up the supplement sales charts in the past five years as a purported all-purpose cellular performance booster. Web sites attribute its wondrous effects to a constituent called "proxeronine." the reality: proxeronine is not a known or identified chemical compound, nor is there any reliable published clinical research on the health-enhancing effects of morinda. But it does have a significant quantity of potassium, which makes it problematic for anyone with kidney dysfunction or who takes ace inhibitors (altace, capoten, lotensin, prinivil, vasotec) or angiotensin-receptor blockers (atacand, avapro, cozaar, micardis, teveten). And there have been several published reports of people who suffered liver damage after drinking the juice. "

please refute with true medical science if you can.

Do Not Buy Tahitian Noni If You Care For Animals!
Torturing dogs and monkeys to promote fruit juice! That is what tahitian noni is doing. Good health never has to come at the expense of animals’ suffering in labs. Do not buy this brand!

Noni Juice to fight free radicals!!!
Acne and many other problems in the body are caused by what are known as free radicals. We take them into our bodies in many ways from pollution in the air and water, smoking and eating crappy, greasy fast foods and by ingesting processed sugars, just to name a few of the culprits and diseases as serious as cancer are believed to be caused by free radical poisoning.

Our bodies natural defense against free radicals are known as antioxidants. Because of nutrient deficient and over worked soil even the fruits and veggies we eat to get our antioxidant levels up can leave us well short of the actual antioxidant levels we need to successfully combat these free radicals sso we need a supplement.

I have had problems with my skin my whole life and through some good advice and a ton of research I found what's probably one of the most antioxidant rich foods on the planet. It's called NONI JUICE. Noni juice is ultra rich in antioxidants and nutrients. Only a few weeks after I started drinking Noni Juice my energy levels rose, my skin and hair became clear and softer, my nails were healthier and grew quicker and my appetite was also more suppressed because I was feeing my body what it needed and not just some fast food garbage that stuffs us and makes us fat but doesn't give us the nutrients we need. Noni Juice was a great help in conquering my skin and acne problems and I know it can work for you.
