Reiter’s Syndrome
Reiter’s syndrome is a group of symptoms consisting of arthritis (inflammation of the joints), urethritis (inflammation of the urethra), conjunctivitis (inflammation of the lining of the eye) and lesions of the skin and mucous membranes. The cause is unknown.
The exact cause of Reiter’s syndrome is unknown. It occurs most commonly in men below age of 40. It follows an infection with Chlamydia, Campylobacter, Salmonella or Yersinia. There may be a genetic predisposition to the syndrome.
The symptoms of urethritis usually appear within days or weeks of infection followed by a low grade fever, conjunctivitis and arthritis developing over the next several weeks. The arthritis may be mild or severe with involvement being asymmetric and in more than one joint.
The risk factors for the syndrome include infection with Chlamydia, Campylobacter, Salmonella or Yersinia; being male; and possibly, genetic predisposition. The disorder is rare in younger children, but occurs in adolescents.

Role of Noni
Noni contains all the vitamins like vitamin A , vitamin B complex, vitamin C and vitamin E. It contains all the trace minerals. A number of major components are identified in the Noni plant such as 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.
Antibacterial activity of Noni : Acubin, L-asperuloside and alizarin in the Noni fruit and some other anthraquinone compounds in Noni roots, are all proven antibacterial agents. These compounds to fight against infectious bacteria strains like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus morgaii, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Shigela. These antibacterial elements within Noni are responsible for the treatment of skin infections, colds, fevers and other bacterial-caused health problems Noni is a powerful immune enhancer. It helps to eradicate the infection in our body by its property to stimulate the immune system. By stimulating body immune system, Noni releases various mediators interleukin (IL12 and IL1), interferon and also helps in releasing the phagocytes cells by stimulating RE system and helps in the process of destroying those microbes by phagocytosis process with help of stimulating body auto immune power.
Noni contains various nutraceuticals that have antimicrobial, anti viral, anti parasitic, anti histamine and anti inflammatory effect. Such as :
- Scopoletin Analgesic, anti inflammatory and antimicrobial activity
- Anthraquinone : Controls infectious bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Salmonella, etc.
Noni is a selective COX-2 inhibitor. There are several other ways in which Noni alleviates the undesirable symptoms of arthritis. Pain is the number one complaint with arthritis. Researchers at an independent research facility found that indeed Noni was a selective inhibitor of COX-2 enzyme. In addition, the Noni did no damage to the COX1 enzyme.
Role of Scopoletin in Noni in arthritis and inflammation
Another reason for Noni’s pain fighting qualities stems from several of its constituents. Noni contains Scopoletin, which has anti inflammatory effects. Scopoletin is needed in the body for smooth joint movement. It also produces anti-histamine effects.
How Noni works ?
The natural integrity of Noni is only part of the reason for its effectiveness. There are two additional reasons contribution to Noni’s effectiveness for a broad range of conditions:
1.Unique Combinations of Substances
2.Synergy of its Substances
