Uses Section

Deleted a bunch of unverifiable information on uses of camu camu that had invalid references or no references. 174.21.119.58 (talk) 22:43, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Very poor link - took me several tries to get the correct page on the Dr. Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases site. I have corrected the link. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 23:28, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The uses section still has at least one issue. For the claims made preceding this quote: "This is only a partial listing. For a complete list, see Dr. James Duke's Ethnobotanical database[2]", I was unable to verify the rankings in the database cited. An exhaustive search and comprehensive reading of the site provided revealed only claims made as to purported uses of camu camu's constituent chemicals; I could find no comparative rankings of botanicals. Perhaps such a ranking does exist, but it was not at the cited resource, and it may not be appropriate to list these claims in any case, without further references available at Dr. James Duke's website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.42.229.75 (talk) 13:17, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cama Cama and Depression -- nice try, guys

Reworded the wild and unfounded claim that Camu Camu can be used to fight depression. After digging through dozens and dozens of new-age websites, all rehashing the same baseless claim, I found a great citation in Dr. James A. Duke's book "Duke's Handbook of Medicinal Plants of Latin America" in which he lists the "theoretical" benefits of Cama Cama. Yes, that's right. The original source of all this nonsense regards this information as "theoretical". Wikipedia is meant to be a source of facts, not claims. If you herbalists want to spread your disinformation and rubbish, that's fine, but please at least read up on what is and is not a citation -- some random 300 word article on herbnet.org with no citations of its own does is NOT a reliable source.
