Talk:Emu oil

message: I added the POV tag because the article appears to equate emu oil with "snake oil". The American Emu Association http://aea-emu.org/faq#t13n30 has reliable information on the anti-inflamatory and moisturizing properties of emu oil as a TOPICAL treatment that are not mentioned in the article.

text: Indeed. It seems to be more "snake oil" than "emu oil", if you take my meaning...--cjllw | TALK 14:02, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Article says, "There are two different types of emu oil, with different origins. The first type is made by rendering down the fat of the emu."
What's the second type?
I can't figure it out:
Corn oil is made from from corn.
Motor oil is made from motors.
Body oil is made from bodies.
Baby oil is made babies.
How's the second type of emu oil made? DyslexicEditor 00:31, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh!  Who knows, the entire article is dubious, plethora of supposed supporting research cited notwithstanding. It's as if someone in the marketing department of Emu oils-R-Us thought that it would be a good wheeze to treat wikipedia as free advertising space. The more egrarious promotional passages need deleting, if not the entire present content.--cjllw | TALK 01:11, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Reference 4 from the FDA website has absolutely no sources for it's information. The FDA article is not in and of itself self-validating within an academic context. There are no mentions of studies proving or disproving anything mentioned within the article, no hard factual data, no professional analysis, and hence absolutely no validity to the FDA article as a reference and it definitely should not be an influence on the overall tone of the article.
An organization like the FDA is not actually an authority without proper source citations and hard scientific evidence to back it's claims. Please keep in mind that this organization routinely approves drugs that have harmful long term effects on humans such as Fen-phen, Vioxx, Bextra, and Cylert. If anything, given this organization's history it needs to be held to a MUCH HIGHER ACADEMIC STANDARD.
The short version: No proof, no validity. Especially not for an organization that has done so much to discredit itself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.123.214 (talk) 22:44, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I just bought what I thought was "100% pure Emu Oil" and turns out it's cheap vitamin e oil. I just spent the day trying to find authentic sources of information about Emu Oil. Based on what I can find, the only authentic sources seem to be the American Emu Association, the FDA, and National Institute of Health. Outside those sources I found plenty of official-looking commercial websites with blatantly deceptive information on emu oil. Corwin8 (talk) 17:26, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Authentic Sources

message: Just wanted to make a note that I restored the sentence about chapped lips and dry skin, along with the source, as I feel that it is a pretty important use that is not covered in the article. I re-evaluated the source and cannot find it selling products anywhere, and it seems pretty authoritative. -download ׀ talk 22:12, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
