Totally bogus ad copy?

[edit]

Homeopathic remedy by a homeopathic house with made-up claims to have ancient roots, and citing a nonexistant form of hypericum. Also, a made-up study.

The resemblance to English "my sore nse" does not appear to be coincidental.

Seems outrageously bogus ad copy. Like trying to see what can be put past wikipedia editors.

Should be marked for deletion. If any can show reason why it is not a total scam, give them a short time to do so, then take it down.

  • I've reduced the article to a bare stub, and will be adding references from appropriate sources. The previous content, although seemingly referenced, was unacceptable. All of the references and information regarding hypericin, a plant derivative of St. John's Wort, was inapplicable. Although this species is a St. John's Wort, none of the references provided gave any indication that this species was the source of the researched material. Information about hypericin therefore belongs in a different article. The reference to the Indian publication Rediff was also removed, as it failed WP:MEDRS (and, indeed, was a striking example of why popular media sources should not be used to support medical claims; it mischaracterized a small in vitro study as a "100 per cent" cure).

[1] [2] [3] It is an ayurvedic remedy and not a homeopathic one. Surely Wikipedia editors ought to know the difference. Please see the google scholar and other links above. I have not made up names for plant species and all work done for this was ethically done by various wikipedians only to be pulled down by opinionated ones! Hypericin is a derivative of Hypericums. Please read the research before ruining work like this. NatureisScience2 (talk) 17:56, 25 October 2012 (UTC) NatureisScience2[reply]
