Citation number 4 seems to be an article written by a company who sells such drugs

Can you please provide the name of the company? Presumably they both sell vinpocetine or other "such drugs" in addition to publishing the Alternative Medicine Review as cited in citation number 4. I'm unaware of the commercial links of the journal, but would be glad to consider any potential conflict of interest. Synapticjunction (talk) 20:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletions

I am deleting the unevidenced statements in this article.

I feel that all assertions or denials in this article should be evidenced. http://www.springerlink.com/content/jn46808130509x42/ http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/109670811/abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3714768 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3693872

Just go down the list on google scholar. I cannot find a single study that supports any of the negative results suggested in this article. If any of these edits are factually valid, I should be able to find atleast one citation supporting them, where as I cannot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.186.179.44 (talk) 14:18, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

There is a problem with Synapticjunction; he removed a "citation needed" on the statement asserting that there has not been demostration of memory enhancement effects by vinpocetine because... 'Removed "Citation Needed" cannot prove a negative' You cannot square a circle and I can prove it; I cannot understand why people are still going around saying "you cannot prove a negative". I certainly believe that "You cannot prove a negative" is not a reason to remove a "citation needed" from an unqualified claim! Agalmic (talk) 15:23, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edits by commercial interests

I have removed the bourgeoisie statements from this article and improved the wording. Agalmic (talk) 15:17, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
