The use of noni for cancer treatment in recent years more and more popular as more research on the benefits of noni for cancer.
University of Hawaii research team led by Annie Hirazumi found that noni juice enhance the immune system works (mainly macrophages and lymphocytes) mice induced with Lewis lung cancer cells, thus able to survive 50 days more. Whereas mice not given noni only able to survive between 9-12 days. Annie is also observed that noni juice is useful for treating sarcoma.

Louisiana State University team, the U.S., led by Conrad A. Hornick, Ph.D. found that noni juice in the levels of 10% can stop the formation of blood vessels (anti-angiogenesis) in breast cancer cells and damage the blood vessels that cancer already exists, so the cancer cells die.
Maria
Gabriela was Manuele and his colleagues succeeded in proving that
scopoletin can activate lymphocytes to eradicate cancer cells as well as
lymphoma.
Not to be outdone by his colleagues, Dr. Rangadhar
Satapathy, MD stated that the noni plant has 150 Neutraceutical
(medicinal nutrients), five of which are anticancer agents:
(1)
Polysaccharides are abundant in Morinda prevent the attachment of cells
damaged / mutated into other cells, thus preventing the occurrence of
metastases.
(2) damnacanthal, similar anthraquinon, inhibits the growth of malignant cells. Alizarin, another anthraquinon, stopping blood flow to tumor tissue, thus stopping its development.
(3) Epigollocatechin gallate (EGCG). Polyphenolic
antioxidant flavonoid that is widely available in this noni prevent
mutation of cells and induce apoptosis (suicide) in the abnormal cells.
(4) terpenoids in noni preventing malignant cell division and induce apoptosis. One terpenoidnya, limonene, proven effective against breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia. Other
terpenoids, beta-carotene, helps stimulate the thymus gland to produce
more T lymphocytes, cells that can directly destroy cancer cells. Moderate
acid type triterpenoid ursolat also can prevent the growth of abnormal
cells (cancer) as well as send existing abnormal cells to commit suicide
(apoptosis).
(5) According to the research of Dr.. Heinicke, proxeronine very much present in Noni. In the intestine is converted to xeronine proxeronine. Xeronine
is also produced in limited quantities this body is required to
activate proteins in the cell before it is used throughout the chemical
process of the body. Xeronine also improve the structure and function to normalize the body's cells are damaged. Because, basically, every cell contains a protein, then the adequacy of xeronine can fix any kind of abnormal cells. From
here obtained an explanation, why xeronine different effects on each
person, but generally showed improvement according to each disease.
But behind the impressive benefits of noni so there is one thing that is often an obstacle in taking noni, that smells bad. Aroma is quite pungent, caused by acid and capric acid kaproat there is lots of ripe noni fruit. The
means used to reduce this scent is a blend of honey or brown sugar into
noni juice, then stored in glass or glass bottles for 2-4 days.
In
this fermentation process kaproat acid and capric acid will decompose
so that the smell is reduced, unfortunately not yet obtained clear
whether this affects the usefulness of fermentation process or not. According
to the testimony of its users, noni fruit is not ripe old (not many
kaproat acid and capric acid) was less potent than noni fruit is
completely ripe.
