Sorry about that Freddie, I didn't know noni juice was such a big deal in the States. As with kava down here in the south pacific it's a cultural thing like tikis. The funny thing is, it's a big American firm that imports all the Nonis from Tahiti. So what do they do with all the stuff? The must sell some of it in the States. Can you enlighten my understanding of the Noni issue in your country?

Guess what, after a month of trying (a tbl spoon/day) our local Noni, I've discovered that my gray hairs are disappearing and bright new dark hair is growing back, I actually look younger. Yesterday, after a haircut and in seeing my new hair color, my hairdresser made the remark "Are you using hair dye?" and when I answered, "never in my life" we were both perplexed. Then I figured it must be the Noni. This might be a good natural way to keep hair from going gray. I will continue the Noni testing for a while to see if anything else happens and will keep you guys informed here on TC.

are making Unproveable Medical Claims. Medical claims like this are illegal in the US, Western Europe, and their territories. New Caledonia is still a teritory of France, right? Noni can only be sold as a Novel Food in France & French territories and no claims of cures or medical wonders can be made by anyone in relation to the fruit since no noni products have been licensed for medical or therapeutic use. This coupled with multiple medical findings that link []ingestion of Noni to Hepititis](http://www.eurojgh.com/pt/re/ejgh/abstract.00042737-200504000-00009.htm;jsessionid=GM5QM1ppJppLq26vYdM2SsJlf25JvsLW2hZGvGX7GxTfMqF27kN8!-251499885!-949856144!8091!-1?index=1&database=ppvovft&results=1&count=10&searchid=1&nav=search) is a pretty good reason to NOT post about Noni in a forum dedicated to Tikis. Besides the fact that Noni has nothing to do with Tikis!
