What is GB? > What is GB? Ginkgo Biloba I think, correct me if I'm wrong... >> What is GB? > > Ginkgo Biloba I think, correct me if I'm wrong... I am not prescribing Gingko for several reasons. One is that it is a blood thinner and so is aspirin, motrin, etc etc and the combonations I have seen producing serious nose bleeds. I worry about bleeding in other parts of the body i.e. Brain. Murray Grossan, M.D. Www.earaid.info > >> What is GB? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Murray Grossan, M.D. > Www.earaid.info Another reason for not prescribing Gingko Biloba is that is does not work. It has had no greater effect than a placebo. John It works for some people.

Did it work for you? It had absolutely no effect on me... It had no effect on me, either. I tried it for about 3 weeks about 3 years ago. I read a study that melatonin might help after taking it for 30 days. I had tried melatonin before, but only for a couple weeks. It didn't help me after 30 days, either, but at least I felt I'd given it a fair trial. That was about 6 months ago. About 3 1/2 months ago, I decided to try Gingko Biloba for a full 30 days. After that period was up, I thought maybe my 10 year case of tinnitus was a bit less noticeable. I have now been on it for 3 1/2 months and I do believe my tinnitus is significantly less noticeable that at any point since my diagnosis ten years ago. Study of one :-) cheers Paul > > >> What is GB? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Another reason for not prescribing Gingko Biloba is that is does not > work. It does not work for you but does not mean it does not work for all people. It has had no greater effect than a placebo. This depends on who performs the experiment and how he performs it. Look up the evidence from the German doctors. > John- - > > - - > >> What is GB? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Murray Grossan, M.D. > Www.earaid.info The proper answer to this question is not whether GB should or should not be prescribed but how much this med should be prescribed so that it does not cause bleeding. Do you eat 10 Big Mac burgers each time you visit MacDonald? Then should Big Mac burgers be recommended for human consumption?

The problem is that in our world of herbs, multiple medications, etc it is easy to cumulate an excess of bleeding factors that results in bleeding. Since I see these on a regular basis, I have concerns. Then too the Gingko is not well callibrated in some of the products and may be from root or leaf, which are different. > On 9/14/07 6:51 AM, in article > 1189777876.620638.187...@y42g2000hsy.googlegroups.com, "fyfp...@gmail.com" [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > - - i have been taking GB AND aspirin for the past several years with the advice of my doctor.

Those American patients you have met bleending after taking GB either take GB on their own without guidance from experienced individuals or their doctors are bunch of quacks. >i have been taking GB AND aspirin for the past several years with the >advice of my doctor.

It will catch up with you one day. Then it will probably be too late.

Then it will probably be too late. Do you have any empirical evidence to support this? That is to say, out of a sample of 1000 patients taking XYZ amount of GB a/o aspirin, a certain percentage will get bleeding in nose or in brain. This has to be predicated upon an assumption that there is excessive amount of this medicine substance accumulated at the end of one day. > Elly > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > -- > Posted via a free Usenet account fromhttp://www.teranews.com
