Scam Posted: 11-23-05 16:54pm
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 Posted: 12-03-05 14:36pm
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.
Http://www.Bellaonline.Com
/articles/art4883.Asp (copy and paste this
next to the bellaonline.Com after you have
gotten to the web page.)
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. Posted: 02-23-06 22:40pm
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 Posted: 04-21-06 15:24pm
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! Posted: 06-05-06 11:47am
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!
