FOR CHRONIC PAIN & SPORTS INJURIES

Soothing & Healing Properties

associated with Hawaiian Noni Lotion Are

Worth Knowing About

Ed Davila, M.D., a highly regarded board-certified

medical internist in the state of Washington,

loves playing basketball. However,

along with a love for cycling and aerobic activities

can come injuries; while playing basketball, he

had injured both his right and left Achilles tendons.

With injuries such as these, patients can barely walk

and surely won't be able to play basketball. Physical therapy

is really important; even so, a person wants to

limit using painkillers and NSAIDs because of the

possibility of complications from liver, kidney, or

gastrointestinal toxicity.

Enter Dr. Davila's patient, Frank Anderson, a former

rock and roll bass player for the Nomads, Anderson

nearly had to completely retire from music due

to persistent hand soreness. Dr. Davila shared his sportsrelated

injury with Anderson, who then informed him concerning

using a lotion created from Morinda citrifolia, or

noni, an extremely perishable fruit from the South Seas,

that he himself had learned of from Steve Frailey.

While in Hawaii, Anderson met noni fanatic

Frailey, a professional organic grower whose noni plantation

within the Garden Island of Kauai has mastered the craft

of preserving all of the effective pain-killing elements within

both an exceptional lotion as well as superb whole food fruit

leather (see Resources). As a result, Frailey and his

business partner, Scott Jarvis, have made noni

lotion and fruit leather accessible to tens of thousands

of people who would otherwise find it

hard to experience the healing powers of this

very flexible fruit (generally only offered in juices

which have been usually watered down together with other ingredients).

Frailey's company, Hawaiian Health Ghana,

has a tiger by the tail in its Icy Heat Lavender Noni

Lotion (as well as regular Lavender Noni Lotion). The

company receives a lot of mail in the form of testimonials

coming from people who've felt the fast

pain-relieving properties of this amazing topical

preparation. Of course, testimonials are not really

scientific but, in this instance, they unquestionably

reflect the science of noni as well. In fact, scientific

studies shows that noni is one of nature's richest

resources of scopoletin, which is associated with the group

of plant chemicals called coumarins (this group also

includes umbelliferone and esculetin) with pain relieving

and anti-inflammatory attributes. No wonder

noni is additionally being analyzed through the University of

Hawaii for usage as part of cancer wellness programs.

Frailey gave Anderson a bottle of lotion to use. "I

rubbed it in," Anderson said, "and I noticed something

had changed within 24 hours. No more hand

pain. I actually went back to playing in a contemporary

Christian music group."

But for Anderson the tale grew to be better still.

"My wife broke her ankle two years ago, a fairly

severe break. I wet some noni fruit leather and

wrapped it around her ankle. She went to the hospital,

pain-free, and the swelling around her ankle

actually appeared to be going down. In the ER, they

asked her if it was okay to put the cast on over the

fruit leather when they learned it would eventually

disintegrate, with its active pain-relieving phytochemicals

being absorbed through the skin.

"She was told it would be at least a year before

she would be able to walk without pain. About a

week later they replaced the cast and this time she

rubbed on the lotion. Three months after the break,

she had started walking again and had almost

completely forgotten about the pain. Getting the

noni leather on immediately was important."

Dr. Davila and Anderson think of themselves genuine

models of the patient/doctor partnership. "We share

and intently listen to each other. Because of our mutual

respect and trust, he provided me with a sample of the

noni lotion." Dr. Davila recalls that around 3

days after starting the lotion, "I was pain-free, and I

could begin playing basketball and cycling again."

Dr. Davila started out exploring the science

associated with noni and its safety record, and after he was

convinced that the fruit was completely safe, he

began referfing to it to patients whom he felt would likely

make use of a complementary approach.

The outcomes were encouraging, he said. "I

started using it in my practice and was targeting

rheumatoid and osteoarthritis as well as an assorted

list of common injuries from the topical standpoint."

THE DOCTORS' PRESCRIPTION

Luckily an increasing number of medical professionals are

confirming that noni lotion and fruit leather are

without a doubt tremendously good for sports injuries, muscle

soreness, and also persistent conditions like arthritis.

Without a medication in the slightest or a medicinal

agent, noni's rich source of anti-inflammatory phytochemicals

do seem to properly decrease pain as well as

boost recovery.
