Ginkgo - there's a problem with research

[Ray200]

Spurred on by a report in the Newscientist mentioned on this site (which I haven't read but others have) I have this to say about research into Ginkgo...

There have been many trails conducted. But they all seem to have one thing in common. The participants are given it on a 7 /52 frequency. Time after time, Ginkgo fails. It's quite obvious by now that Ginkgo doesn't work like that. Why should it!

I had a tinnitus free day yesterday. Well, from about 11am to 5:30pm. I have 3 of these a fortnight, by only taking 3 x 30mg of the stuff on one day, and the relief comes during the following. I also have the occasional bonus day, maybe 3 or 4 days after ingestion.

I can only guess at why Ginkgo works like that for me. The guess being that the compounds need time to be cleared from the brain otherwise the potency / impact of the next dose is lost / cannot happen.

What needs to be done to instruct scientists involved in the research searching for a cure that they are making a school boys error in assumption...

I have a few posts on my trials with Ginkgo which can be viewed by clicking on my username.

Thanks for commenting on my Post Ray - where do you get this Ginko from and what dosage please?

Holland and Barrett on the high street. Dosage as above but 30mg have been discontinued. Will let the group know shortly.
