Thanks but no thanks.

This is a company that boasted how a series of 14 clinical studies have been produced that prove the effectiveness of their "bio active" beverages. They boast how they have conducted more clinical studies than "any other network marketing superfruit company". Well what is that saying exactly? I mean how many superfruit companies are we talking about here, and how empirically sound, are your tests; is your science, and are your scientists?

Tahitian Noni boasts how they maintain 52 "scientifically-validated" patents, a "research facility" and "scientists" on staff that have produced over 35 peer-reviewed publications. I'm not impressed, not by the product, not by the bogus scientifically engineered mumbo jumbo, and least of all by the sales antics pulled by its reps...

I read about an investigation into this company that involved a hidden camera used by a private investigator whom got in touch with a Tahitian Noni dealer. This particular TNI rep was running a web site that claimed the juice could cure erectile dysfunction. Mind you, these sites are at least supposed to be monitored by TNI, and yet the site was never dealt with directly.

As one might expect, the dealer discusses the 10,471 million benefits of the drink, and how it includes everything your body could ever need. Despite claiming that the substance is filled with healthy substances, vitamins and fruit juices, he fails to explain that the product can only legally be sold under the "novelty foods" category in accordance with the FDA.

Next comes the onslaught of "before and after" stories where one guy hadn't had an erection for 7 years, and miraculously achieved one after drinking Noni. Another one involves people with various wounds and lacerations, and how they heal up to 3 times faster while drinking the beverage. Yet another one involves an element called damnacanthal, which apparently is only found in "nature" and can slow down tumor growth. He follows this load with a story about people in a Netherlands hospital who were terminally ill and waiting to die, whom are now all walking around healthy due to having consumed Tahitian Noni juice.

When the undercover investigator asks about HIV, the dealer suggests that there have been some individuals cured, but that he "couldn't say for sure".

This is common for companies like this, and so long as claims are not made official, it is apparent that they do nothing to stop their associates from saying what they like so long as it is not made as a public statement directly from the company. Sadly, the company convinced famous actor Danny Glover to promote the juice, which he did, only to later retract his statements and detach himself from the company after seeing the hopes dashed of terminally ill patients whom had their hopes raised by these criminals, just before dying.

Damn dude, that was somewhere between hate-enciting, and depressng. Good post though, I don't know much about these guys with the exception of a friend of mine who tried it and said it was FAIL. He said it tasted somewhere between, old stale grape juice, prune juice, mollasses and do you remember that shitty drink called Moxy? Yeah, a real delight.

Its all too easy for these kinds of creations to be whipped up by any assjack with the ability to sell something, and there are a few other products we've talked about on these boards that share the same sentiment. Too much hype, too little truth, and a whole lotta suckas making these guys rich, BUT, I want to stress, for all the things people say, this company has to be doing something right because they're pretty damn popular. You can't just assume every single one is a scam.

I haven't seen too much on the internet that suggests this company is a blatant scam, but that doesn't mean it isn't. It's a "miracle" juice afterall, and to say a vitamin or mineral helps treat this, or fortify that, or fight off those doesn't mean much if its not enough to actually show a result.

I think its probably a load of hype and nothing more, but I've seen companies that aren't quite as good at hiding it..((cough cPrime cough))..oh excuse me.

Greetings and respect to you Vincent555 and Rickdowns77,

It is on so many MLM juices and tablets that I must agree are of very little promise, but on Tahitian Noni I am forced to disagree with both of you entirely. The great morinda fruit has been used for generations for over 2,000 years because of the immediately noticeable health benefits. People living in the jungles felt how wonderful it made them feel, and I am one to believe that says a great deal. Say what you wish of MLM scams, but this was one of the smartest foods that could have been used in such elixirs.

This product is the closest thing that can be attained aside from the fruit itself, and I also feel that for those that find it to be of such an offensive taste, you consider that your taste is much influenced by your culture, and that not everyone has grown to adulthood on hamburgers and orange juice. It is not from a medical perspective that I can explain to you the benefits of the great morinda fruit, but I can attest to the wonderful taste and the way it makes you feel, having had them in our home throughout my childhood.
