Noni Motivation
“From our 12 years repeated-experiment in University of Hawaii using scientific technology on noni juice…it is naturally expected that noni juice might be beneficial to treat and/ or prevent human cancers by enhancing the anticancer immune systems inhuman body just as that in mice.”
