Rhonda,
There is very little research reported to date about this product in
peer reviewed medical journals. Virtually all plant foods have
molecules that will inhibit cancer cells in the laboratory. They may
even demonstrate this action in lab animals and people.
However, I think the real question is whether this product is necessary
to achieve a healthy food intake that will help with cancer recovery. A
person may choose to consume Noni juice as part of their approach to
fight cancer if they can afford it and enjoy the taste. However, please
note that I emphasized Noni juice should only be a part of a plan to
optimize odds and cannot replace an other wise poor diet, lack of
exercise, lack of stress management, etc, etc.
I have tasted it. I even tasted it again to see if I could tolerate the
taste, which I cannot. The future research would need to be VERY strong
for me to choose to spend my money (and hope) on this product.
I have not had a recurrence of my 1995 breast cancer without consuming
Noni juice.
I hope this perspective is helpful to you.
