Millions of people worldwide use noni juice to improve their vitality and well-being.
Studies conducted by several companies have demonstrated possible health benefits of the noni plant, and more specifically, Noni juice. Scopoletin is one of many natural components of noni. It is a little known, but hard-working chemical that has been found to have beneficial effects.
Scientists have shown that noni juice may help support the immune system and help cells more readily absorb nutrients.
Many noni juice products being sold today often bear a deceptive label stating, "100% pure noni juice", but the statement is confusing as it implies to the buyer that the juice in the bottle is 100% noni juice. Many companies, however, are actually selling diluted and/or mixed noni juices.
Brazil Botanical's noni is 100% pure fresh-squeezed noni juice, with no additives, no preservatives, nor flavors. The shelf life of our bottled pure noni juice drink is 2 years. Our 100% pure noni juice is fresh-squeezed, using traditional methods to ensure the highest quantity of active polysaccharide compounds and brix count for greater effectiveness. Unlike like other manufacturers, Natural Styles doe not allow the juice to ferment for months, which can cause the fruit to rot. The darker the juice color and very soy sauce taste usually indicates that it has undergone excessive fermentation. There is no evidence that such fermentation is in any way beneficial (why would added alcohol be more beneficial?).
Brazil Botanical's Noni is guaranteed 100% pure noni juice, not one drop of water or any other adultering substance is added to it. Each batch of our noni juice is pasteurized and bottled in a highly controlled, USDA approved facility and is also Kosher certified for your protection. Natural Styles' Noni Juice potency is guaranteed and goes through several tests before, during and after processing.
If you chose to drink pure noni juice and avoid the flavored and high-priced noni juices sold by some multi-level marketing (MLM) companies, you will enjoy the benefits of pure noni at a reduced cost. Most MLM companies reconstitute their noni with water and flavors in order to pay commissions to their distributors. Most MLM companies inflate the price of their products as much as 700% of the true cost of the pure juice. Some MLM noni juices are very expensive and include high shipping costs as well.
Check the label of a noni product carefully for its ingredients; make sure that you are paying for pure noni juice, not for a diluted product. Also make sure that your noni juice is pasteurized.
Morinda Citrifolia, the Scientific Name of Noni
Noni juice is prepared from the fruit of Morinda citrifolia, a Polynesian plant with centuries of use by native peoples as a natural health tonic and beneficial skin care aid. Pure morinda citrifolia juice should be reddish brown in color and the finished product should contain little or no noni pulp.
Noni, a Superior Antioxidant
Pure Noni Juice is a superior antioxidant that has been found to help the body eliminate harmful free radicals in the body's circulatory system, tissues, and cells, and as a result, noni use may increase energy levels.
How much should one drink per day?
Drinking 1 oz of noni juice on an empty stomach is our suggested method to assure maximum benefits. Taking noni juice on an empty stomach is believed to aid in cellular repair. Some noni users drink a glass of water before and after drinking noni juice to help the body absorb the juice and flush toxins from their bodies.
Keep in mind that pure noni juice has strong pungent taste and odor. The strong taste can easily be improved by the addition of grape or cranberry juice or your chosen fruit juice as a mixer or chaser. Many people prefer to drink it with no added juices and soon become used to its natural taste.
Noni Sources and Quality
Natural Styles has unlimited supplies of the finest, purest noni juice available from Tahiti, Hawaii and Samoa.
With 10 years, over 2 billion dollars worth of noni juice has been sold globally. It was virtually unknown in North America before it became a
nutraceutical phenomena in 1994. Small quantities of noni had been sold in pharmacies in Tahiti and Hawaii before 1993. The 1994 nutritional supplement act in 1994 opened the doors for novel natural food products in the US.
Brazil Botanical supplies noni juice that has been certified by the government of the European Union for distribution by brokers, wholesalers, investors, retail outlets, doctors, salesmen, buyers, importers, exporters, dealers and end users.
Researchers at the University of Hawaii have induced cancer tumors to grow in experimental mice and then injected specially prepared noni juice into their abdomens. Preliminary results of these studies have reported real benefits and the studies are progressing.
A National Institute of Health is currently funding Phase II of a clinical study that is being conducted by Dr. Brian Issell at the University of Hawaii to see if noni can be used as a possible treatment for cancer. The NIH also funded an earlier clinical study done at the University of Hawaii in the late 1950's. Based on a toxicological assessment done, noni juice is considered generally regarded as safe (GRAS).
Other non-medical studies and surveys have found that 78% of the more than 8,000 noni juice users reported that it helped them in some way, aiding weakened immune systems and circulatory systems.
The Future of Noni
There are many by-products of the noni plant such as: noni juice, noni fruit capsules, noni leaf capsules, to name a few. There are many possibilities for the plant yet to be discovered.
Natural Styles uses only noni plants of the highest quality grown by farmers hand-harvesting organic noni in the South Pacific to provide the highest quality pure noni juice at the lowest possible price.

The Many Benefits of Goji Juice
Lycium barbarum
BrazilBotanicals.com uses a proprietary technology called “Cryoflux” to concentrate the Tibetan Goji juice that preserves the bioactive constituents, flavor and color of juice of the fruit. It is the best method for guaranteeing the Lycium barbarum polysaccharide content. Using standard flash or kettle pasteurization usually destroys the beneficial properties of the juice.
Health benefits
The health benefits asscociated with the goji juice should be clarified I've been reading about the health benefits of goji juice for years. Some animal studies suggest possible health benefits from goji juice, such as reductions in blood pressure and cholesterol. Marketers also list extensive health benefits of goji juice, even though there are few published clinical trials in humans. This is the case when it comes to exploring the health benefits of newly discovered super juices. One must realize that Goji Juice is a food product and not sold as a drug.
Weight loss
Some users of Himalayan goji claim anti-aging and weight loss benefits. The weight loss that occurs from the use of goji juice is due to the natural suppressing of the bodies appetite. Drinking goji juice has been used as a way to help with weight loss for countless years by the Chinese. The drinking of green or white tea with goji juice is also said to help with weight loss.
Nutritional benefits
The nutritional benefits of Goji juice are being corroborated and confirmed by research and clinical studies. Parents may want to consider adding Goji Juice to jello so children might enjoy the nutritional benefits of the juice. Children will discover early in life that maintaining good health can also fun and delicious! Goji juice can also be added in children's popsicles and other treats. They won't think of the juice as being a medicine or vitamin supplement, but as a delicious and healthy bonus to a treat they already enjoy. Try delicious and health Goji Juice today!

Noni Quality-Laboratory Tests
Morinda Citrifolia
Noni (morinda citrifolia) fruits grown and harvested from cultivated organic fields in Hawaii and Tahiti. Freshly harvested fruits are sanitized, mashed, deseeded and immediately dried by our proprietary process to maintain the enzymatic activity, color and aroma. No preservatives are added. Each batch is analyzed for color, flavor, concentration and microbial count.
Noni Juice “Footprints”
Some noni companies are using questionable "footprint" comparisons without providing necessary parameters of the tests for easy comparison. What is being measured in the "footprint" comparisons? Is it a measurement of the purity and/or potency of noni juice? The obvious test of Noni Juice is whether it is 100% pure or not. Does adding water and/or flavors make Noni Juice more effective? Natural Styles' approach is simple: we sell the highest quality 100% pure noni juice possible backed by independent lab tests for purity, potency and safety. Simple and pure the way nature intended.
How can Natural Styles offer pure Noni Juice at such an affordable price?
Noni Juice Benefits and Competing Brands
Brazil Botanicals is the foremost supplier of 100% pure, 100% natural and 100% organic Noni juice since 1997. Early on we here at Brazil Botanicals, recognized the health benefits that result from supplementing our western diets with this 'healing fruit.' We have labored diligently at great sacrifice to provide Noni fruit juice in the same form as consumed by the ancients of Polynesia. Additionally, we have gone a step further and have scientifically analyzed the Noni fruit juice to identify the truth about its’ health potential.
Noni or Morinda citrifolia has been used in Polynesia to provide health benefits for over 1000 years for various ailments. According to island folklore, tradition and history these effects would appear more than anecdotal.
Unfortunately the overzealous promotion of such a beneficial fruit juice coupled with the overstating of available scientific literature has created some controversy as to the truth about Noni. Brazil Botanicals is known for its forthright presentation of Noni fruit juice as a dietary supplement that supports good health as a natural dietary solution/ addition to the western diet. We are firmly committed to investigating, providing and promoting the truth about Noni fruit juice.
The truth about Noni fruit juice is that it must be made only from ripe fruit. Brazil Botanicals only uses fruit from the South Pacific including the islands of Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu. The fruit needs to be harvested when it is yellow to white in color. Green or immature fruit will not provide the potent phytochemical constituents that are responsible for supporting good health. Studies show that the most important phytochemical content for each respective fruit and or vegetable comes together during the natural ripening process. And this is true with Noni. Traditionally juicing is carried out over a 2-4 week period of time using the traditional gravity press method.
The weight of the fruit, which has been placed into sacks and allowed to age, is placed into a large 500-gallon container providing for a natural press. Natural Styles™ has optimized this procedure through a bladder press method, which delivers an improved quality of Noni fruit juice as well as providing for the freshest possible juice. The juice initially obtained is a yellowish-red color, which ultimately darkens to a mahogany brown color. The juice is then pasteurized to stabilize polysaccharide content and preserve the quality of the juice.
The truth about Noni fruit juice is that the longer the juice ages before pasteurization the more it breaks down via enzymatic degradation resulting in a lower polysaccharide content. Natural Styles™ has proven through optimizing this process that the best Noni fruit juice can be provided in a way that preserves the tradition of the islands and the potency of the fruit.
The truth about Brazil Botanicals is that we are committed to “only ship good product.” We are able to do this through our GMP efforts and attention to detail.
The truth about Noni fruit juice is that in order to be assured of optimizing the health benefits of this Polynesian pharmacon it is important to get the real thing. Natural Styles™ is dedicated to being the source for not only the real thing but also the truth about Noni fruit juice.
Enjoy the benefits of 100% Pure USDA Certified Organic Noni Juice. For thousands of years the people of Polynesia have used the parts of the Noni (Morinda citrifolia) plant for many health concerns.*

SEO Simulation using Six Sigma principles, google analytics
Dear Google Analytics,
I love all of the help tools and reports you provide with google urchin. You track most of the variables that I need to make informed decisions about the e-commerce websites I am responsible for tracking.
But my clients are a little more demanding. They want to know exactly how their business strategy is doing in real-time and how the long-term impact of their PPC and generic keyword strategy is going to impact their business. They want to know EXACTLY how much they are going to make for every dollar spent on PPC and other paid online and offline advertising and they want all the information immediately.
I need to be able to show my clients what is going on with their campaigns and marketing strategies by creating a VISUAL REALTIME SIMULATION of their business based on twenty or so sliding 0-100% levers that a user could tweak to match what they are really doing in their SEO campaigns and how the market is responding to their input. They could also use feedback from online surveys from their employees and customers in web pages to collect data for the 0-100% levels that impact the simulation. (I am also working on a project to control factors that impact website optimization, I'm still on the waiting list for google's website optimization program).
In order to give my clients more accurate projections, I had to spend several days trying to parameterize every single variable that affects the keyword impressions and conversion rates to their websites. I have a list of over 100 conversion factors so far, and about 20 of them are controllable by adjusting the:
Time of day ads are display,
Day of week ads are shown,
Day of year ads are shown, (have to do this manually for now – example: it would nice to stop your ads selling winter coats during the spring and summer)
Age of visitor, (msn only)
City/region and country of origin of visitor,
Gender of visitor, (msn only)
Household income of visitor, (msn only)
Etc. (maybe you could more data from salesgenie.com or
I had to come up with a list of 100 ways (website referrals, advertising, link exchanges, etc), to drive traffic to the site with the corresponding click thru rate for each tactic to come up with the number of visitors going to the target website (funnel).
I also created a 2nd funnel alongside my target website to represent the impressions and clicks that all my combined competition is receiving. For example, let's say I received a 1% market share of visits, that means my competition will receive 99 visits for the same time period. You could have measurement indicator marked 0-100% just above the two funnels that can be adjusted to your current estimated market share in real time.
I would like to represent each visit with a tiny moving colored ball that:
ü starts out as an impression,
ü then as a visit to a website,
ü then as a visit within 4-5 level shopping cart, (represented as an inner funnel)
ü until it finally becomes a confirmed order
The color of the ball changes as it goes through different levels (perhaps the colors of a rainbow: from purple to blue to green to yellow to orange to red). There will also be little holes in the funnel to represent dropout rates, where the color of the ball could change to black and be stored in a measured 0-100% dropout tray. If you click on a small ball, it could bring up a new window that would reveal in real-time it's:
ü reverse IP address,
ü the referring website URL,
ü the referral keyword/query,
ü entry time,
ü length of visit,
ü repeat or new visitor,
ü the referral city,
ü zip code,
ü GPS location on a map,
ü number of page visits,
ü current web page visited,
ü and the ability to invite that visitor to chat with you in real time.
I know this can be done, because a company called boldchat.com is doing some of these things right now (but they don't provide the overall real-time analytics overview that I am proposing nor an easy way to show analytics).
Then I track 4-5 steps within the shopping cart to identify the drop out rates at each level until finally an order is confirmed.
Then I use analytics' e-commerce tracking to identify the products sold, their value and quantity = gross revenue.
I then subtract all of the costs associated with the sale: PPC, advertising, etc to come up with the net sales.
Then I can finally tell my client with more assurance how much PROFIT they are making for every dollar sold for any particular time period and compare it with preset goals.
At any time, a user could view the status of every ball that entered the system: I recommend they view the initial URL visited, the referral URL, the referral keyword, the name of the city, state the user is from, etc.
By using TIME sliders, one could choose between: live data, by minute, by hour, by week, by month, by year. If you let the simulation run in the future based on the sliding levels you have selected, you could see the long range effects of your campaign without losing money, and be confident enough to put your campaign in cruise control if it is a successful business model. Some variables that you control may have a positive or negative impact on other controls, that's where an AI modeling system could be helpful. You could also have your AI program determine if and when a user is reaching things like levels of diminishing returns. For example, what is the threshold level for investing money in a particular keyword. Will investing 10x more money always increase sales by 10x?
Here is a rough draft of what I have explained so far as a drawing:
http://mightymalls.com/pccanalytics2.htm
I also have a very large spreadsheet with variables that affect impressions through confirmed orders that I would be happy to share with you.
I have looked at integrating the Six Sigma principles with this live analytic model.
Six Sigma Methodology Steps: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control, Design, Verify. They are time tested principles that fit well within web analytics.
If this project works well for my clients I am sure it can help all of Google Analytics/Urchin clients as well. I think it could be a great learning tool for school and for business people who don't know much about analytics and its importance in e-commerce.
My next project is to integrate live analytics with traditional market planning and effectiveness. I have to thank you for creating analytics because it helped me strengthen weak areas, which reduced waste, and identified opportunities that had potential for growth.
Please feel free to contact me anytime. Thanks for making analytics such a useful product.
Sincerely,
Christian Wilson

P.S. Here are some more ideas for you:
It would be great if you could determine what zip code a person lives in based on their IP address, because the 2000 US Census has a wealth of information about people based on their zip code. You could use the information to predict customer purchasing behaviors.
You could collect percentages of people in zip codes with a particular gender, age, household size, income, etc. Get free data from here:
http://www.melissadata.com/Lookups/ZipDemo2000.asp
Collect and aggregate conversion rates based on zip code.
Show best converting zip codes based on a keyword
Tie in all parameters into the keyword conversion predictor/analysis tool mentioned above, create something similar to a stock market display but using keyword conversion rates.
Use a live conversion measurement tool to predict conversion rates (compare current with projected conversion rates). Use something like this but add the parameters I mentioned above.
http://www.paloalto.com/common/calculators/conversionrate.cfm
Allow users to control conversion rates by allowing user to select zip codes level for each adwords campaign.
Keep in mind you are going to have multiple cities for one zip, and multiple zips for once city.
You could probably use an aggregate of zips for one city if it makes it easier for you to get started.
Build a cross reference table of demographic data for each keyword. Create a tool that would predict customer behavior based on zip code.
Use individual and company data in salesgenie.com in addition to Melissa data.
http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/index.htm
IDEAS:
Have analytics show a map of highest converting zip codes, regions/counties/countries for specific keywords, times of day, days of year.
If you know the zip, then you will know county/region, state, country, continent
Allow customer to select ads from zip level or demographic info. (instead of just from a metropolitan area).

Keep in mind you are going to have multiple cities for one zip, and multiple zips for once city.
You could probably use an aggregate of zips for one city if it makes it easier for you to get started.
Build a cross reference table of demographic data for each keyword. Create a tool that would predict customer behavior based on zip code.
Use individual and company data in salesgenie.com in addition to Melissa data.
http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/index.htm
IDEAS:
Have analytics show a map of highest converting zip codes, regions/counties/countries for specific keywords, times of day, days of year.
If you know the zip, then you will know county/region, state, country, continent
Allow customer to select ads from zip level or demographic info. (instead of just from a metropolitan area).
Idea for Google Adsense and Kiva.org
Dear Adsense,
I appreciate Adsense for making it easy to earn money for my websites,
even if it is only a few dollars a day.
I am impressed how kiva.org, a website that creates micro loans for
people who have very limited economic opportunities can get tiny micro
loans that can have an immediate impact on their quality of life.
I was thinking it would be nice if a new tab in Adsense could be
created to allow users to contribute a portion of their earnings to a
micro loan program like kiva.org.
Sometimes donations made from a country to another country do not
always reach the people that need it the most. If you start where the
need is, then the rest of the country will eventually benefit. (i.e
despite the hard work and good intentions involved, much of the
donations made to the Live Aid concert did not reach most of the
people it intended to benefit).
If google could track and keep the donations tracked to specific micro
loans, in the same sophisticated way they track adsense ads, and
perhaps feature those sites that have elected to donate a portion of
their proceeds to kiva.org, perhaps with a special symbol, that would
be great.
Perhaps that symbol could link to a world map and an exact micro loan
transaction that indicates where the need for donations are most
needed and where exact kiva.org donations are made. I understand that
kiva.org takes photos and notes about each loan to each person, so
perhaps that information could be fed into the world map display. It
would be interesting to see how a single 50 cent adsense donation
could be traced to an exact transaction, were you could see a photo
and name of a beneficiary receiving the loan and doing something that
will benefit him/her in the long run (buying a cow to milk it).
In the adsense back office, a user can review a list of all the micro
loans he/she contributed to (along with corresponding names and micro
loan projects).
A user could select the location, ages, gender, quality of life
indicator, types of needs, and type of micro loan made from the
adsense backoffice.
Since adsense earnings are split between advertisers and google,
perhaps google could match the contribution by paying part of any
administrative expenses, so that the user donation can always benefit
the micro loan recipient 100%.
Perhaps you can have a chart of the top donors to the micro loan, much
the same way the March of Dimes does fund-raising.
I think it is easier to approach and convince people to donate to
worthy causes if they know there is:
no upfront costs,
all proceeds can be tracked and printed out at the end of year and
sumbitted with taxes,
a way to localize the micro loans according to: ages, gender, quality
of life indicator, types of needs, etc,
a means to trace micro loans to every penny with photos and notes of
each transaction,
a way the system benefits the adsense publisher, user, adsense and the
micro loan recipient,
a way people can make comments on specific transactions using a social
commentary blog,
gives people a feeling that they are really making a difference
because they can see how each transaction benefited someone in the
world (without worrying how much of the donation was used for
"administration fees")
This system could be used to direct benefit people after a natural
disaster, since much of the money spent on relief aid is misdirected,
wasted and not accounted for.
Once this is all in place, I recommend you have Oprah launch it with
google adsense and the people at kiva.org or a similar micro loan
program. Can you imagine having Oprah creating an adsense campaign on
live TV and then seeing thousands of donors and micro loan
transactions being made and tracked in real time?
I believe that corporations and religious groups could help target
where the need is most needed. It will be great to be part of
something that will work and will help eliminate the hopelessness of
people (most of the people that are suffering and women and children).
I hope you can use or adapt this idea. When I was a teenager I
remember staying in an expensive hotel in a third world country which
overlooked a large slum on a steep hill. I felt guilty about not
being able to do anything that would immediately help that large group
of people. With the partnership of google adsense and a program like
kiva.org, there can be system to help people that is both trackable,
benefits everyone involved and will have a long term impact of the
quality of life for people that need it most.

New Modern Hawaiian Plant Section
A new section has been added to the islandtrend.com website. It covers platns that were brought to Hawaii after the 1800's by Europeans and Asians. Some plants were used as food. medicines or fragrances. The impact of growing pineapples on Hawaii tragically altered Hawaii's destiny and impacted the local inhabitants. They lost control of their land and destiny as an indigenous peope.

Opening a car door with your locked keys inside with cell phone & spare keys
TruthorFiction.com asserts that the posting below is fiction:
www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/l/lockedcardoor.htm
Summary of the eRumor
A suggestion that if you are locked out of your car and don't have an "Onstar" type system in your car, just call home and have someone use the wireless remote over the phone to your cell phone, and it'll work.
Onstar says no way
(One version of the eRumor says this only works on Onstar systems) Onstar users, of course, can have their door locks opened remotely by calling Onstar. But that's because of the cell phone connection that Onstar has with the system in the car. The wireless remotes that you use to open your doors are radio transmitters and will only work if you're using the transmitter in the vicinity of the car itself.
The REAL TRUTH
It worked for me! 3/9/2007
Here's what I did:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Another FREE Tip: Get FREE 411 Calls from your Cell!
Cell phone companies like to charge up to $1.75 for 411 information calls. Most of us do not carry around a telephone directory in our vehicle which makes the situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option simply dial:
1-800-FREE-411 or
1-800-373-3411
without incurring any charge at all. You will hear a brief 15 second sponsored message that you can ignore.
Program this into your cell phone now.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Your cell phone call help you in grave emergencies
Your cell phone can actually be a lifesaver or an emergency tool for survival. The emergency number worldwide for mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and if there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly enough, this 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Please only use this number during an emergency.
Feel free to pass these free tips to your friends and family.

French Polynesian presidency threatens legal action
The French Polynesian presidency says it will take legal action against the opposition’s Gaston Flosse for alleged defamation after the veteran politician announced that he would take the President, Oscar Temaru, to court for alleged fraud.
The dispute centres on the affairs of US-based noni juice company, Morinda, which Mr Flosse says was allowed to get away with eight million US dollars in tax exemptions in a move that amounted to abuse of public funds by the government.
But the president’s office says Morinda’s activities were challenged by the tax authorities to ensure they complied with the law.
It says the checks were carried out before May 2004 when Mr Flosse was still the territory’s president.
The statement says Mr Flosse is not well placed to make such accusations when questions have been raised about links between him and Tahiti’s Shell petroleum company.
