Rose, so sorry about your mom... I've heard pro aand con on noni... obviously it can't hurt... however, with this being a nerve conditiion.. I would look more towards the nerve formulas or nerve regeneration formula in the files.. I would also get you mom drinking fresh juices, eating raw to help .. I will do some further research into this syndrome for you. Suzi\PS I believe we had a discussion on this some time back in the archives I will check for you.

Also look into the Blood purifying formula and the immune tea under and Schulze...... I did not find anything in the message archives so it must be another syndrome I am thinking of...

Rose, this syndrome is thought to be

caused by the person’s own immune cells attacking their peripheral

nervous system. It can get bad enough to require a respirator. I

have known a few people who have had it and are perfectly fine today.

Just be prepared that it might get worse before it gets better. Some

people recover within a few weeks. Some have chronic tingling and

weakness for a few years. I have no personal experience with noni

juice. I tend to use things that are more locally available. My

personal opinion is that no one juice, pill, herb, food, etc. will cure

anything and everything. The body is just to complex an organism for that.

Hang in there and tell your mom she has a lot of good people pulling for her.

Hi All,

My mom is in the hospital with a severe variant of Guillian-Barre'

Syndrome. I happened to be chatting with a woman at my son's therapy

center yesterday and she swears that Noni Juice cured her husband of

Hodgekins Disease. She is, of course a distributor of said juice,

and subsequently gave me all of her marketing materials. :-)

However, I am willing to convince my mom to try anything that might

help speed up her recovery. At the moment, she is essentially like

a quadraplegic. It is very frustrating for her because prior to this

virus attacking her nervous system, she was a healthy, active,

independent 71 year old! Just 1 week ago she was at the mall with my

kids and I! Now, she can barely move from the shoulders down!

Any opinions on Noni Juice, or any other products that might help

with nerve and muscle rehabilitation would be greatly appreciated.

– I’m sorry to hear about your daughter and her brain

injury. And to have it be caused by

her bio mother – unbelievable!!!

Have you tried the aphanizomenon flos aquae (AFA) with her? There’s a book called Edible Microalgae by Dr. Bruno, and this is what is says

about brain function:

Enhanced Brain Function, Behavior, and Learning

The brain contains and

uses one of the highest concentrations of nutrients of any organ in the body.

Oxygen consumption is the best indicator of " fuel use " -- almost

everyone recognizes how vital oxygen is to the brain. Unlike many organs (e.g.,

the liver) that have cellular fuel reserves, the brain is almost entirely

dependent upon a continuous blood supply for fuel. Children’s brains are

even hungrier, more metabolically active, and proportionally larger than

adults’ brains. Per pound of body weight, children eat more food, drink

more fluids, and breathe more air than adults, thereby increasing their

potential exposure to toxins. Also, younger children’s blood-brain

barriers and intestinal linings are not as developed and are therefore less

protective than those of most adults. This means that more incompletely

digested foods and toxins can leak into a child’s bloodstream and brain.

Beta-carotenes and

antioxidants found abundantly in microalgae may

contribute to protecting the central nervous system (CNS) from oxidative

stress. Lipids, which comprise most of the brain tissue, are especially

sensitive to oxidative damage. Researchers in Israel

and Japan

have demonstrated the protective effects of antioxidants in experimental animal

brain trauma models. 43,44 Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of some

disorders of the brain; hence antioxidants have become attractive therapeutic

agents. 45

Furthermore, brain trauma and injury tends to increase whole-body oxidative

stress. 46

In 1985, Cousens published two case studies on the use of AFA

blue-green algae in the improvement of Alzheimer’s disease. He reported

“some significant return of function” such as decreased hand

tremors, better balance, and improved short term memory, attention span,

judgment, and reasoning in one patient; in the second patient there was no

significant return of previously lost function, but there was a halting of the

typical “progressive degeneration associated with

Alzheimer’s” along with a corresponding improvement in the

patient’s marital relationship. 50

Valencia and

colleagues at the Neurolab Clinic associated with the

University of New Mexico demonstrated that patients

suffering from mild brain injury who ate this Aph. flos-aquae (http://tinyurl.com/iw4k) showed a 25% improvement in about half the time as patients who

did not receive it. 52 According to Valencia,

in his study of more than 150 patients over two years, patients who ate AFA

algae alone had improvements similar to those in a two-month hospital-based

rehabilitation program. However, the best results were achieved when neuro-rehabilitation was combined with eating Aph. flos-aquae

algae, better than Aph. flos-aquae alone or the hospital program alone. Valencia’s

research team hypothesized that Aph. flos-aquae algae seems to promote

reparative neuroplasticity - or, in lay terms,

rewiring of the circuitry of the brain.

Valencia also conducted electrophysiological studies of brain waves and

found that the ingestion of Aph. flos-aquae algae was linked with pronounced

improvements in brain function, notably in the ability to focus and

discriminate between various auditory signals.

You know Harvard did a study a few years

ago on the affect of prayer on health and healing. They were surprised to

find a huge correlation. Tell your mom we love her, and I am thinking

about her daily. . Make sure her parish priest knows she could use

his support too; a visit from him might help her depression a bit.

Thank

you so much for your information and good thoughts, Janet. You are always

such a great help to me on this list!!!

I wanted to share this testimony to the power of prayer with all of

you.... My mom is a Catholic and last Saturday night she went to mass.

They were doing blessings of the throat (in honor of some Saint or something)

and my mom was debating whether she should go up front and have her

throat blessed. By that point, her legs were starting to get kind of

heavy, so she wasn't sure she'd make it up to the altar and back. Well,

she eventually decided to go up.

When she was admitted to the hospital last week, the doc's said

that this was likely to travel up to her throat and affect her swallowing and

breathing, that she'd have a breathing tube and feeding tube temporarily,

etc. Well, a week has gone by and it hasn't progressed to that. In

fact, the doc's are a little stumped. They said that her case of GBS is

quite severe and they were sure by now that she would be on a breathing

tube. But she is not. My cousin, who was in church with her last

Sat night pointed out to me yesterday that she believes the blessing of the

throat is what has kept this wretched disease from attacking my mom's throat. I

believe it!!!!

I'm heading off to the hospital now to spend the night there -- my mom

is now starting to feel some pain and she is very depressed. Please continue

your good thoughts and prayers, HAWK family. It is greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

My mom is in the hospital with a severe variant of
