[edit] Zija
I would think a good percentage of the visitors to this page come because of Zija International, a company that specializes in Moringa drinks. I don't work for them and have no relation to them, but I put a link to them the other day on this page, which was deleted. I didn't put a talk page up first since I figured no one would take down such a link, since, at least in my history, and again I've never met anyone having anything to do with that company, Moringa equals Zija Intl. Are they not the largest, or at least most prolific, distributor of moringa in the US? --Mrcolj 13:08, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Colin, I took down your link. But if you want to put it back up, go ahead. I have grown a lot of Moringa trees without ever hearing of this company, but thats just me.
- As a side not I am cuirass as to how they are able to remove the oxalate content of the Moringa, as it’s over 1%. I suffer from kidney stones, so I could not drink Zija myself simply due to the extreamly high level of oxalate. Brimba 17:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
Support merge of Drumstick (fruit) into Moringa oleifera. Badagnani 03:33, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Oppose merge of Drumstick (fruit) into Moringa oleifera. Although it is certainly the same species, the subject is fundamentally different: one is a tree, the other a food. The tree entails all its taxonomy, geography, and many varied uses (water treatment, oil, nutrition) and the Drumstick is a traditional Indian vegetable. If merged, then I would wager that eventually, drumstick (fruit) would again be split off as a daughter article. Drumsticks are good enough to deserve their own article (esp. on the English language Wiki). Simple links between the two is best. Istvan 14:31, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Support merge of Drumstick (fruit) into Moringa oleifera. There are sections on the usages of plants as food in the articles for many multipurpose plants. There is a lot of overlap between the two sections, and I don't see anything gained by having the content split out in this case. Waitak 08:41, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject International development
It was just the use of the seed in water purification that caught my attention. On that basis I have added it to Category:Appropriate technology and also draw your attention to this WikiProject. Cheers, Singkong2005 13:36, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed
I have been doing research on this plant for a project I am conducting. Of all the research I have seen no where has it been stated that spirochin is a toxic alkaloid, nor it is said to be in Moringa Oleifera. It has been announced to have been found in Moringa Pterygosperma, but studies show that it is not harmful. In fact, results show it could have positive pharmaceutical aspects. Could someone find the source of the previously stated data or update this page to the most recent findings? Sothisislife101 20:44, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
