I've been taking Noni juice for babs. I read a study where Noni juice was found to "cure" babesia.

How are people taking this fruit - in extract form or juice? How did you like or not like it? Are there differences between the various brands or extract vs. juice form?

I have been interested in this as well. Do you happen to have the link to the study?

I may add it to my children's protocols. I have the nutramedix Noni. I have no idea which is better.

I read on the Nutramedix site that the Noni extract is very concentrated. You may want to take a look. The above study uses the juice of the fruit, not the extract, though.

Here's some further info I happened to come across today -

i remember reading on here that someone believed it helped cure them of their babesia. I remember because I did have babesia and I added it to my treatment after reading how successful someone on here was.

I used the nutramedix noni.

Hey Maureen,
Thanks for the post. Did you get rid of your babs? If so, how long did it take once you added the Noni? What else did you take along with the Noni to get rid of it?

i took the noni most of the time throughout babesia treatment. i was on mepron/zith for 3-4 months. then switched to mepron/biaxin/bactrim. i was on babesia treatment for 7 1/2 months but the babesia symptoms were gone after about 4-5 months. i just wanted to be sure.

i never had any of what i thought were my babesia symptoms afterwards. i had the classic drenching nightsweats, and i had a lot of muscle weakness. i just had a FISH test through Igenex because i have had some neuro. symptoms back since mid December and the babesia test was negative.

i think the noni helped my immune system a lot. before my babesia treatment, i had already been treating lyme disease with biaxin/plaquenil only and was feeling a lot better, but could not get rid of the nightsweats and the heavy legs feeling/weakness. that went away with the babesia treatment.

I think it was Brussels who had success with Noni. I'm not sure if it was the extract or juice, though. I don't have typical babesia symptoms. My main symptom is pain.

I do notice an increase in pain (herx?) when I drink the juice. I got a bottle that was Vitamin Shoppe brand & they put raspberry flavor in it so it's not so nasty.

I've been dowsing the treatments & I've just been treating with herbs & supplements. The dowsing says I don't need to take the drugs. I would like to avoid the drugs if possible but I would take them if I have to.

I have seen a few people say they have done it with the herbs only. I guess I'll see. I never felt better from taking abx. If I did, I'd probably be more positive about them.
