Dosages (Camu-Camu) — Food farmacy, 3–4 fruits providing 300–400 mg vitamin C (JAD).
Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Camu-Camu) — Not covered (AHP; KOM;
PH2). Most FNF entries above based on the fact that camu-camu is a very rich edible source of
vitamin C.CANADA YEW (Taxus canadensis Marshall) XActivities (Canada Yew) — Abortifacient (f; CEB; DEM); Diaphoretic (f; DEM); Diuretic (f;
CEB; DEM); Fibronolytic (f; DEM); Hypotensive (f; FAD); Sedative (f; CEB); Stimulant (f; DEM).

Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Canada Yew) — Not covered (AHP; KOM;
PH2). Though poisonous, the twigs, berries, and leaves have been used in brewing a beverage
(Iroquois, Penobscot) (DEM). All plant parts (except perhaps the red aril) of this and other yews
contain highly toxic components and are considered poisonous. Ingesting as few as 50 leaves
(needles) has resulted in fatalities (FAD).CANADIAN GOLDENROD (Solidago canadensis L.) ++Synonym — S. longifolia Schrad. ex DC.
With good reason, many authors have taken a generic approach to Solidago. EFS aggregates S.
odora and S. virgaurea. PH2 confesses that S. canadensis, C. gigantea, and S. virgaurea have
been interchangeably mixed in the market. Few of the compilers, including yours truly, could
positively identify which species is in the apothecary jar, and probably none of the chemical
studies are vouchered. While I have maintained citations for several species, I think the identities
are all suspect.
