Iresine celosia info
This had been inserted into the beginning of the article. It belongs in an article on Iresine celosia, which I'm too lazy to create at the moment, so I've saved it here:

"Iresine celosia has a 3000-year-old traditional application by the Maya pre-Columbian civilization.  Its anti-tumoral properties were discovered in 1960 by a well-known naturopath, Efraín Contreras in Nicaragua.  In 1972, he introduced Iresine celosia as herbal product to Dr. E. Jirón, Director of El Retiro Hospital in Managua.  Many cancer patients with no hope of recovery were able to go home, enjoying better health and wellbeing. In 1983, The Ministry of Health of Nicaragua appointed a scientific commission to give its conclusions on Iresine celosia's beneficial virtues. Which were as follows: Iresine celosia a) had cytostatic anti-mytotic properties on malignant tumors; b) Iresine celosia did not present any toxicity.c) Iresine celosia did not give any secondary effects.  Iresine celosia therapeutic virtues are being studied in the European Union. "  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.104.39.2 (talk) 21:05, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
