Noni Supportive In Cancertherapy

Cancer though considered as one of the most dreaded diseases yet there is no reason for it to be graded as deadly disease. It may seem that today we are in the middle of a cancer epidemic but some statistics support the fact that we are yet to reach there.

Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells which tend to proliferate in an uncontrolled way through the process of metastasis to nearby tissues or the other body parts. It is not contagious and malignant tumors are responsible for cancer instead benign tumours. In addition to inherited genetic defects, other factors such as environmental pollution, exposure to UV and poor lifestyle, radiation and immunosuppressive drugs are also responsible for aggravating it.

Cancer is curable and at times preventable. It is not necessary that the course of treatment for cancer would be that of modern medicine.Some therapies target and stimulate body’s immune system and boost immunity to fight with the invading pathogens.
One of the strongest health benefits of Noni (the fruit of Morinda citrifolia)isits ability to work at the cellular level to stimulate and enhances the production of various defense mechanism of the body. A research led by Anne Hirazumi, University of Hawaii demonstrated that on treating cancerous lung cells with noni and PEC (peritoneal exudate cells),the PEC defense cells were activated that killed a large number of cancerous cells resulting in significant reduction of tumours.

Similar series of experiments conducted by Hirazumi and her team determined that noni could stimulate the production of macrophages and the activity of nitric oxide, tumor necrosis factor and interleukin which are recognized as anticancer agents.

Despite the advancement in cancer therapies,noni offers a supporting hand to fight cancerin addition to diet changes,exercise and other healthful habits. It has also given great benefit to lessen the side effects of chemotherapy.
