What the Media, Doctors and Researchers have to say.
Over 700 medical and scientific reports have been written proving the nutritional, medicinal and healing powers of the Moringa tree. Some of the endorsers of the Moringa include the John’s Hopkins School of Research, US National Academy of Sciences, and the Indian Council of Medical Research. Some of the reports document the effectiveness of diseases and disorders such as: Lupus, edema, arthritis, epilepsy, asthma, parasites, Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, bronchitis, ulcers, gastritis, prostate disorders, kidney pain, gout and more.
The Discovery Channel was so impressed with the Moringa tree that it created a multi-million-dollar documentary on the tree. A first in the TV industry. National Institutes of Health (NIH): The March 2008 issue of the NIH “Record” praises Moringa Oleifera and states that; It was also recognized by the National Institutes of Health as the Botanical of the Year for 2007, and praised again in 2011 and 2012.
It is valued worldwide for its ability to treat over 300 diseases. It has the ability to retain high concentrations of electrolyte minerals, allowing it to stay internally hydrated in the driest of conditions. Africans have honored it with names that translate to: “Never Die,” and “The Only Thing that Grows in the Dry Season,” “Manna Tree” and “Mother’s Milk.” The Moringa tree is helping to rid hunger and malnutrition and has saved more lives in Third World countries than any other food or substance.
A November 2012 feature in the National Geographic noted that, gram for gram, dried Moringa leaves have 25 times the iron of spinach, 17 times the calcium of milk, 15 times the potassium of bananas, 10 times the vitamin A in carrots and nine times the protein of yogurt.
Moringa has the highest protein ratio of any plant identified so far. Food scientists once believed that only soy had protein comparable to meat, dairy or eggs. Now they have added Moringa to the top of that very short list. Many consider Moringa’s protein superior to soy, as it is more digestible and non-allergenic.
International aid organizations now produce and/or promote the use of Moringa in poverty stricken areas. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 80% of the world’s population relies on traditional medicine (i.e., plants rather than drugs) for their primary healthcare needs. L. Fuglie, director of the Church World Service in West Africa, found that powdered Moringa leaves were more readily embraced by rural villagers than other dietary aids or pharmaceuticals, and decided to put it to the test. After a 2 year pilot project in the villages of Senegal, his organization recently convinced the government to promote Moringa as part of the national diet.
Lack of Vitamin A, due to malnutrition, causes 70% of all childhood blindness. That translates to 500,000 children going blind around the world every year. The Bethesda, Maryland-based “International Eye Foundation” is now using Moringa, with its high content of beta-carotene converting to Vitamin A in the body, to combat childhood blindness.
Doctors are using Moringa to treat diabetes in West Africa and high blood pressure in India.
It can staunch a skin infection, feed livestock, and enrich the soil, increasing the nutritional value and growth of other crops. Dozens of humanitarian organizations, including the Church World Service, the Educational Concerns for Hunger Organizations, Trees for Life, and the National Science Foundation are pursuing research on the use of Moringa Oleifera to combat health challenges. In addition to its high nutritional value, Moringa boasts an impressive list of traditional medicinal uses by various cultures around the world.
Moringa has fought child death and disease due to malnutrition in Africa. Moringa, a near perfect food, has a niche in staving off the current food crisis threatening more than 100 million people worldwide. - Endorsement by Wanda Dyson, M.D.
