Ginkgo Biloba
"Ginkgo biloba is commonly used in the treatment of early-stage
Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, peripheral claudication,
and tinnitus of vascular origin. Multiple trials investigating
the efficacy of ginkgo for treating cerebrovascular disease and
dementia have been performed, and systematic reviews suggest the
herb can improve the symptoms of dementia. Ginkgo is generally
well tolerated, but it can increase the risk of bleeding if used
in combination with warfarin, antiplatelet agents, and certain
other herbal medications. Clinical issues of safety, dosing, use
in the perioperative period, and pharmacology are addressed in
this review. (Am Fam Physician 2003;68:923-6. Copyright© 2003

Astonishing Memory Pill (Ginkgo)
October 22, 2000 - Excerpts from Miracle
Cures By Jean Carper
"The plant's reputed most active chemicals, the ginkgolides, are
generally extracted from the leaves and turned into tablets of
various
potency. These potent ginkgolides are unique to the ginkgo tree
and are
not found anywhere else in nature."
"In a large, very tightly structured study, published in 1996,
German
investigators at the Free University, Berlin, observed the use
of
ginkgo on 222 outpatients at forty-one study centers around the
country. The subjects, all over age fifty-five, had been
diagnosed with
mild to moderate Alzheimer-type dementia or dementia caused by a
series
of mini strokes, known medically as multi-infarcts. For six
months the
patients were given either a dummy pill or a daily dose of 240
milligrams of standardized ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761),
taken twice
a day before meals. Undeniably, those getting ginkgo did much
better."
