In
the book, The Pain Cure, Dr. Dharma Khalsa demonstrates
how chronic pain may gain a life of its own by in a sense
jamming the nervous system pathways open. For example, in
a painful condition that is chronic such as back problems,
as the pain signals and impulses are sent to and from the
brain, they begin to engrave a pain pathway on the body’s
nervous system, Biological “gates” through which
pains signals and impulses pass may even become jammed open
with constant use. Therefore, even after the original inujury
should have been resolved, the pain continues, becoming
an illness all its own.
Things
such as lack of sleep, stressful lifestyle, repeated injury,
physical inactivity, lack of important dietary nutrients,
hypoglycemia, and a serotonin or endorphin deficit may
cause the body to jam open its biological gateways and
experience chronic pain. Some of the most common types
of chronic pain include arthritis, back pain, and migraines.
The
ancient Indian healers, traditionally used Noni for pain,
both acute and chronic. Many times parts of Noni plant
and fruit were applid topically to injured areas of the
body. Modern science has shown that some of Noni’s
pain-relief agents include terpenes, found in essential
oils, which are known to aind in cell synthesis and cell
rejuvenation. Other essential nutrients in Noni that may
work synergistically in pain relief are proteins, amino
acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals.
In
addition, we believe that noni is associated with the
body’s production of a very important biochemical
known as serotonin, which may involve the xeronine system,
that is believed to promote the body’s ability to
ward off pain. Serotonin plays a large role in the healthy
function of the brain and nerves, the largest players
in the pain cycle. Research has shown that serotonin,
triggered by the brain, tells the nerves that first pick
up pain signals to calm down.
In my study, of the 5,139 people who consumed Noni drink
to help reduce their pain, 86 percent reported some successful
results.
Amount
of Noni usage : The average amount consumed by the 86
percent who reported pain relief was 3 ounces per day.
