I hate to add this, since it could back the Noni claim, but Thor
Heyerdahl (http://en.wikipedia
Kon Tiki, spent over a year on Fatu Hiva, an island that is part of
French Polynesia. While there he had time to study the bones and
skulls in mass burial sites that were easily accessed. He found no
evidence of tooth decay until white explorers came by and introduced
the natives to refined sugar. Before then they ate the cane sugar in
the raw form and didn't have decay issues.
That's just one example, but, overall, he found less evidence of
diseases from skeletons that were likely before contact with Western
Civ. There were diseases when he was there, and this is one thing that
eventually drove him and his wife away from the island. This isn't to
say the native life was perfect before white explorers came by, but he
did think that there were indications the natives' health was better
when they lived by the "laws" of nature.
Yes, it does play into the claims by Noni and does sound extraordinary,
but this isn't just some conspiracy theorist or kook saying or
suggesting this. If you're in doubt, you can find the book "Fatu Hiva"
and read it. It was published in 1974, but in my experience, it's hard
to find.
