Through my workplace, I've been introduced to the amazing folks over at Hawaiian Organic Noni. On their farm in Kauai, they produce, package and sell 'Noni Fruit Leather.'

Relatively unknown in the way of superfoods, Noni is actually an old Polynesian medicinal fruit. The problem with Noni is that it has a shelf life of about two days, since fermentation starts to occur rapidly after ripening, which means it cannot be distributed and sold commercially. This led to the creation of Noni Juice. Unfortunately, Noni Juice is made in a way that renders any potential benefit useless. Read more about Noni Juice and why it should be avoided here.

At Hawaiian Organic Noni, the fruits are compressed to make fruit leather at less than 115 degrees Fahrenheit, because enzymes start to denature at 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Noni juice is usually pasteurized at 130 degrees Fahrenheit, killing pretty much all of the useful compounds in the fruit. Noni fruit leather, on the other hand, is as close as you can get to eating the fruit itself. It retains almost all of the fruit's compounds, while increasing the shelf life to two years, without any required refrigeration!

Here are a few of my favorite things Noni can do:

1) Lower blood pressure & cholesterol (good for diabetics.)

2) Noni fights cancerous cells and raises the T-Cell count. In one case, Stage 4 colon cancer was cured in four months by taking five to seven 2inchx2inch pieces of Noni fruit leather daily. The fruit has no side effects, and can actually help counteract the negative effects of chemotherapy. In the worst cases, stage 5/terminal patients had vastly increased quality of life when eating Noni daily (no pain or depression).

3) An antioxidant, one 2inchx2inch strip of Noni fruit leather contains around 6,000 ORAC units of antioxidants. The recommended daily intake of ORAC units is supposed to be 3,000-5,000. Read more here.

4) It's a super effective painkiller, about 75 percent as effective morphine, with none of the side effects. This makes it extremely effective for arthritis, toothaches, bruises, inflammations, etc. In one case, an athlete who pulled his Achilles tendon made a complete recovery in about four to six weeks with daily application of topical Noni (such as the Lavender Lotion).

5) It's a natural flea, tick and worm preventative in animals. Shots aren't needed if the animal is fed Noni regularly. The fruit has also been known to cure horses of Lyme disease, and heal hip dysplasia. It also promotes growth of fur.

6) Noni has been known to cure Psoriasis, acne, heal scars, remove skin tags, and greatly reduce liver spots.

And there's so much more it can do...
