Camu Camu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia), also known as CamuCamu, Cacari, Camocamo, is a

small ( approx. 3 meters tall) bushy river side tree from the Amazon rain forest

region of Peru, which bears a red/purple cherry like fruit. Its small flowers

have waxy white petals and sweet smelling aroma. It has bushy feathery foliage.

The evergreen, opposite leaves are lanceolate to elliptic. Individual leaves are

3 - 20 cm in length and 1 - 2 cm wide.

It is a close relative of the Jaboticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora) and the

Guavaberry or Rumberry (Myrciaria floribunda).

Description

Long used by native peoples, wild camu-camu is harvested directly into canoes.

The fruit has only recently come into large-scale cultivation and sale to the

world market with Japan being the major buyer. It is relatively easy to

cultivate. It survives best in hot, damp tropical climates but will grow in the

subtropics, surviving temperatures down to just above freezing. It requires

copious water and withstands flooding. Trees begin to bear fruit after about 4

to 6 years.

Its fruit contains about 2800 mg of Vitamin C per 100 g of fruit, or almost 60

times the concentration of oranges.

[edit]

Uses

The nutritious pulp has a citrus taste and is traditionally prepared into a

refreshing drink . It is more recently also used in, ice creams, sweets, etc.

Processed powder from the fruit pulp is beginning to be sold in the west as a

health food in loose powder or capsule form. In addition to the high vitamin C

content it contains the amino acids valine, leucine and serine, and is also rich

in flavonoids.

[edit]

Conservation issues

Currently, the over-harvesting of wild camu-camu threatens to make it an

endangered species. Efforts are underway to encourage the commercial growing of

camu-camu in the Amazon River Basin. see links.

What's the website URL, ? From what you posted, it looks like

it with would not be good for me as both nicain & beta carotene are

among the many things I need to avoid as a diabetic. They both raise

blood glucose readings. And to get the amount of vitamin C I need,

I would have to eat over 500 grams per day. I suspect that would

also mean eating quite a bit of fructrose, which is also not something

I should not have.

Thanks ,

I hadn't really heard much about camu camu but it was mentioned in the book,

" Living Well With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia " by J.

Shoman. There isn't much literature about it yet, but if it has been

inhibiting

my various herpes viruses, I will certainly continue with it. I bought

some yesterday and have been taking it.

I bought the lysine cream (actually it's more of an ointment) at Whole Foods

but I've also ordered it online here - they have lots of lysine products:

I know CamuCamu is expensive; but isn't not having shingles better ?

I wish you would tell people where you bought The Lysine Crems.

So I would begin the CamuCamu or Acerola berries or Rose Hips

a.s.a.p.; then if your shingles; clear up you will know that is it.
