Treating ailments with 'wonder-juice'A new wave of elixirs promise miraculous properties, from treating depression to tackling cancer.
It's about the size of a potato, ripens to a yellowish hue and has been used by the Polynesians for centuries. It is called the noni fruit and while it doesn't taste like the food of the gods, some sellers would have us believe it is miraculous.
