Pick’s disease
Pick’s disease is a rare and irreversible form of dementia. It causes personality changes, loss of social skills, loss of intellectual function, and speech disturbances. In some ways, Pick’s disease is similar to Alzheimer’s disease. Pick’s disease tends to affect only certain areas of the brain, while Alzheimer’s can affect any part.
It is the early appearance of a personality change that helps distinguish Pick’s disease from Alzheimer’s. (Memory loss is often the main symptom of Alzheimer’s.) People with Pick’s disease tend to behave inappropriately in different social settings. The changes in behavior continue to get worse and are often one of the most disturbing symptoms of the disease.
Pick’s disease is rare. It is more common in women than men. It occurs in people as young as 20, but usually begins between ages 40 and 60. The average age of onset is 54. The disease can progress slowly. Over time, the tissues in two parts of the brain (the temporal and frontal lobes) shrink. This shrinking is called atrophy. Symptoms like behavioral changes, speech difficulty and impaired intellect occur gradually, but continue to get worse.
People with Pick’s disease have abnormalities called Pick bodies and Pick cells inside nerve cells in the damaged areas of the brain. Pick bodies and Pick cells contain an abnormal form of a protein called tau. This protein is found in all nerve cells. But some people with Pick’s disease have an abnormal amount or type of tau. The exact cause of these abnormalities is unknown.
A genetic basis for the disease has not yet been determined. Most cases of Pick’s disease are not inherited.

Role of Noni
Noni contains all the vitamins like vitamin A , vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E. It contains all the trace minerals. A number of major components have been identified in the Noni plant like scopoletin, octoanoic acid, potassium, vitamin C, terpenoids, alkaloids, anthraquinones (such as nordamnacanthal, morindone, rubiadin, and rubiadin-1-methyl ether, anthraquinone glycoside), sitosterol, carotene, vitamin A, flavone glycosides, linoleic acid, Alizarin, amino acids, acubin, L-asperuloside, caproic acid, caprylic acid, ursolic acid, rutin and a putative proxeronine.
How Noni works?
The natural integrity of Noni is only part of the reason for its effectiveness. There are two additional reasons contributing to Noni’s effectiveness for a broad range of conditions :
1. Unique Combinations of Substances
2. Synergy of its Substances
NONI a safe Way to Increase Serotonin
Noni juice is a normal and safe way for us to increase the effects of this ‘feel good’ hormone. Whole foods such as NONI juice that elevate serotonin levels naturally, have no side effects. Using precise proportions and relationships to one another, nature combines vitamins, minerals and other phytochemicals, co-factors that make up our food and to enhance benefits of each individual component. In its innate wisdom, the body decides what it needs from nutrients and eliminates anything it does not need.
NONI contains the amino acid tryptophan
NONI juice contains 17 among the total 20 amino acids including all 10 essential amino acid. The amino acid tryptophan plays a great role in manufacturing this neuro transmitter serotonin. When tryptophan is readily available, the body can use it if needed to increase serotonin levels.
