Ginko Biloba, another herb under attack

August 20, 2002

A new study shows Ginko Biloba not effective. Note, this is " one " study. The

duration of the study was said to be at least four weeks. (Ginko's effects only

begin to show in four weeks.) And what about all the rest of the studies that

have been done in the past? This is no doubt more FDA backed B.S. Sure, I guess

it's better for senior citizens to take dangerous " FDA approved " prescription

meds?.....

Gary,

I believe the key to this story is the fact that the study was subjected to the same rigorous testing that the FDA demands of pharmaceutical companies ie.. The more money you have to grease our palms the more you can influence how we will respond. (grin)
