Q. How can I find information on nopalea that is not selling nopalea?

I tried searching Google, and like you, found mostly sales sites. You might want to try Google Scholar (link below). I found some relevant articles. Also try searching nopal, which is an alternative name, and Opuntia ficus-indica, which is the scientific name.

If you go to our databases guide, also linked below, and click on the arrow next to Database Subjects, then click on Nursing, you will find good databases. To access most of them you have to have a COM account. If you don't have a COM account, you can use the databases in the box that says free databases.

Go to the databases by A to Z linked below.  The databases are in alphabetical order, so click on 'e' to search EBSCO, 'g' to search Gale and 'p' to search Proquest.

I'm also including a link to EBSCO: Health Source Consumer Edition and to Natural and Alternative Medicine. Again, you will have to have an ID to access these.

I also included a link to PubMed, which is a searchable database of scholarly articles from The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Search the term nopal and the scientific name (you can copy and paste from above). Limit to Free Full Text on the left from your result list.

Hope this helps. Let us know if we can do anything else.
