| Some say very very Strong medicine. Before you don't want it read about it. Plant it away from the living area due to the smell. |

We use noni regularly as an antiseptic of cuts and scrapes. Works great.
Also, collect juice drained off from the fermented/soft fruit. Add a couple tablespoons to a fruit smoothie.
Our chickens love the fallen ripe fruit.
A few years ago we had a rooster that got a leg injured in moving it here in a cage. It limped around and stood around for weeks. Then he made it over to the noni tree and ate and ate lots of the fallen fruit. In a few days he was moving about fine.

Thank you,Dr,Weatherford!
Could you,please,share more about using noni?
Do you use a slice of noni on the cut?
I don't know how ripe it needs to be to get the juice?
Does it ripe off the tree?
And I do know how that rooster felt!
No kidding!
So do people eat the fruit to ease pain?

renee puts it in the blender to form a thick mash. she applies it on the animals and on herself for minor abrasions/scrapes. one can purchase noni juice from health food stores. they also carry the antiseptic form. can be quite spendy, though.

The fruit turns white on the tree and then falls to the ground where it softens.
(The ads I've seen in the paper to buy noni always specify 'white'.)
I have taken a fresh noni (white) and put a slice on a wound. That worked.
Most often, I use some that has softened (we keep a closed jar in the fridge with a few in it).
Juice comes from the soft mushy fruit. Mash and strain to remove seeds.
To my modest knowledge, the effect of eating the noni is antiseptic / antibiotic, rather than for pain.

| I do a similiar take as James, but I put mine in a clear glass jar and set it outside in the sun. Each morning I have approximately 1/2 cup of new juices, that I drink, tastes acidic slightly like vinegar, goes down warm like a shot of alcohol..;). After about two months, I dump out the fermented fruit and start over again. I wish they could grow up here, haven't had much luck at 2100 feet elevation. Seen lots of it on Red Road. Angela |

Thank you,Angela.I have a question - do you get bugs when you put it outside in the sun?I am not sure how the closed lid will work.
Cheesecloth covered?

the methods that are mentioned are like when you put lemons in a glass jar and set them out in the sun. as a kid, i'd see the jarred lemons on peoples' rooftops. cheesecloth not required, just screw on the lid of the jar.

| No cheesecloth just a screw cap, you want the contents to stay dry out of the elements. You're essentially making "sun tea". Make sure it stays out of the rain though, a sunny place that's protected like under an eave or deck. I used to make this for years on Maui with no problems, but here maybe because of the rain/higher humidity I had problems with mold after about a month or so. After I made sure the jar stayed dry, it was fine. It's a great health tonic. It detoxifies, so in the first week of taking you may feel detox symptoms, headaches etc.. then you feel great after.
