effects on my T?? Days, weeks, months or even years?

Thanks,

There is a whole page about Ginklo here.
It also talks about what dosage to use.

I experienced after a couple of days.  My suggestion to you is as
follows:
(1)get the GB made of leaf but not extract.
(2)if you felt comfortable with it after taking it, then stay on it
for a long while(at least 3 months).  After all, it helps your blood
circulation which might in turn help other things.

Let it be on your conscience if Simon follows your advice and suffers a
stroke.  Quit playing doctor, Francis, you are obviously unqualified to do
so.  Do you carry malpractice insurance?

Whatever information in this ng has to be discussed with the doc
first.  That seems something you forget.

I discussed this conversation about Ginko Biloba with my
doctor.  He has forbidden me to take it.  He says it causes
internal bleeding in the body and brain, and is a definite
risk for stroke.  The combination of aspirin and ginko is
especially dangerous.  This scientist knows a lot more about
blood thinners than I do, and I'll take his advice.  When I
read your advice to add aspirin to ginko in combination I
felt a chill.  People will die taking this advice.

Best wishes,

Right, and Francis didn't include any caveats in his dangerous
recommendation.  Earlier, I tried his black bean recommendation and it cost
me a few friends.

Hmmm...  Perhaps Black-Eyed Peas, or Crowder Peas?  Perhaps
you should see 16 doctors about this sudden attack of
Munchaussen Syndrome.

To combine gingko with aspirin comes from cock-sucking months.  Do you have one?

Two of my doctors said it is safe but i have reservation
about these
two _licensed_ answers.  Thus I had to go back to
re-negotiate with
one of them and he finally agreed that I stop taking adult
aspirin
while taking on gingko biloba.

My second question is: could an amount of 500 mg gingko
biloba dried
leaf be sufficient to prevent stroke like a tablet of adult
aspirin?

Thank you in advance for your viewS.

FP

~~~~~~~~~~

You were taking aspirin and ginko biloba at the same time,
and your doctors were equivocal.  This means to me you were
ill-informed and so were your doctors.

Watch your language, Francis.  This is a polite group.

Here's another one:

Please let me get clear on this one.  Are you suggesting that we
should NOT take 2 together?  I have always operating on the
assumption
that the thinner the blood, the less likely is a stroke going to
occur. Is that true?

TKS.,

FP

And again, another one:

Could you show us the link to these liternatures?

I went to a large hospital specifically for this question.
The doctor
told me that in her 'experience' for the past many years,
patients
that are on both do not show any more bleeding than just
one.  But
then again, it depends on the amount a patient takes of either.

And, finally, this:

The final answer regarding taking gingko and adult aspirin
together
from my Cambridge doctor is that: yes, you can take both of
them on
the same day as long as (1)the gingko is less than 120 mg in
terms of
extract(or 500 mg of dried leaf) AND (2)the coated aspirin
less than
50 mg.

If anyone has better answers than this one, by all means
raise it.

There is a difference between 'recommending' and being 'ill-informed'.

> Watch your language, Francis.  This is a polite group.

That kind of language is used to counter-act a tone which I perceive
comes from street delinquents such as those in the district of Harlem.

Let's put Gingko in perspective.
Many many  people take it for years without problems. It does reduce clotting.
My objection is that for the risk involved, and for the evidence presented for
curing T, I think the negatives outweigh the positives.
there are many good products out there. When they are without prescription
there is a tendency to take more than the recommended dose. this is what
happened to Dexatrim - a really excellent nasal medication when persons took 2-
3 x recommended dose.
the other problem I have with Gingko is lack of standardization of the dosage
and content.
But again, many person do take this without problems.

Where did I give this advice?  It comes out of your cock-sucking month!
