Ginkgo Biloba Protocol

     

IMO this is one herb you want to take daily prophylactically to ward off MANY potential problems

   

“Germany’s Commission E has approved a standardized extract ginkgo biloba for as a treatment for dementia and Alzheimer’s. In both Germany and France ginkgo is widely prescribed as a treatment for age related mental dysfunction.” Jean Carper

“Hundreds of scientific studies have shown ginkgo’s beneficial effects on the human body. Because of ginkgo’s multiple mechanisms of action, ginkgo provides enormous potential protection against our most feared diseases.” Life Extension

“We have access to a simple plant medicine, ginkgo, that impeccable research shows can help protect the most important organ in our body, our brain.”  Jean Carper

“In a study of men and women average age 67 with memory problems ginkgo was compared to the memory drug tacrine. The EGG showed similar profiles of brain activity after subjects took ginkgo or tacrine or other memory drugs approved in Europe. But ginkgo was superior; it showed brain changes in as many as three times as many individuals. Alpha brain activity picked up sometimes markedly after  three hours in 66 percent of the subjects taking a one time dose of 240 mg of ginkgold compared to only 22 percent taking the standard dose of tacrine.” Doctor Itil NY Medical Center, Note what doctor could choose tacrine? Answer all of them forced by the "standard of care" straight jacket.

“When researchers tested ArginMax, a sexual-enhancement supplement that contains ginkgo, ginseng and L-Arginine, 80 percent of the male subjects had improved erection function, while 74 percent of the female subjects reported more libido, less dryness and greater frequency of orgasm.”  University of Hawaii and Stanford University

“Ginkgo biloba improves circulation and reduces platelet aggregation, as well as fibrinogen levels. Ginkgo counters blood viscosity and is routinely prescribed by clinicians for patients 50 years or older.” Life Extension

“In a study of 202 patients with Alzheimer’s disease half were given 120 mg a day of Ginkgo Biloba extract, half a placebo. One year later the GBE had stabilized the Alzheimer’s and led to significant improvements in the mental function of 64 of the 101 patients taking the GBE. There were no side effects with the GBE.” Le Bars et al  

“In a study of 46 patients with severe glaucoma Ginkgo Biloba extract demonstrated some improvements in IOP and visual field at a dose of 160 mg/day for four weeks and 120 mg/day thereafter.” Merte & Merkel 

“Research into ginkgo's effects on humans shows that Ginkgo speeds up the flow of blood and oxygen through the body and brain. It increases the manufacture of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is sometimes described as the "universal energy molecule." Additionally, ginkgo keeps the brain arteries from clogging up with blood platelets by keeping the arteries flexible so that the platelets don't collect together on the artery walls. It helps the nerve cells transmit signals from one to another. Ginkgo is a vasodilator, which means it dilates the blood vessels, especially tiny capillaries. This increased circulation helps protect the nerves from the damage that can result from a reduced supply of blood and oxygen, as often occurs with age. Promotion of circulation to the skin enhances nutrients delivered to the cells.”  Doctor Michael Lam MD

“In a review of 40 clinical studies using ginkgo Biloba for cerebral insufficiency virtually all trials reported positive results. Compared to the control group the group receiving ginkgo showed significant improvement in symptoms such as memory difficulty, confusion, fatigue, anxiety, dizziness, tinnitus and headaches with no serious side effects. ” Kleijnen et al

“Ginkgo Biloba may be extremely beneficial in the treatment of erectile dysfunction due to lack of blood flow.” Sikrora et al

"After the reperfusion event the mice they pretreated with ginkgo had approximately 50% less dead tissue than untreated animals. In the mice they treated after the occlusion, there was also a significant reduction in stroke volume. My suggestion is that if you have vascular disease, consider taking up to 120 mg of ginkgo twice daily.” Doctor Robert Rowen MD , Note a reperfusion event follows an interruption of the blood supply which can occur with heart or stroke problems

“Protective effect found for ginkgo against radiation damage The researchers found a significant dose-dependent reduction in apoptotic cells among those treated with ginkgo. While radiation-induced apoptosis occurred in nearly one third of irradiated cells not treated with ginkgo, the number declined to 5 percent or less in cells treated with the herb."    Life Extension

"Ginkgo biloba is an amazing plant it contains three powerful flavonoids that help in the fight against stress. Quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetine. Studies have proven it’s a great stress reliever because it helps improve the ratio of cortisol to DHEA."   Doctor  Al Sears MD

Proven Health Benefits

Ginkgo Biloba an antioxidant is one of the most promising and highly studied natural botanicals. Ginkgo has been double blind tested many times and shown to increase the oxygen content of the brain (See Brain Protection Protocol) and other bodily tissues. Some experts call ginkgo the most important of botanical medicines. The ginkgo tree is considered the oldest tree species on earth; an individual tree often lives 1000 years and is largely free of disease. Why?

  

Ginkgo Numerous Health Benefits

Ginkgo has been shown to promote mental clarity and concentration, relieve depression, increase neurotransmitter levels and serotonin receptor sites, increase alertness, energy and short-term memory. It has been used in China for millennia for the memory and brain. Ginkgo has been used preventatively in regenerative compounds for loss of memory and senility in cardiac protection formulas, against stroke (See Stroke Protection Protocol) and atherosclerosis (See Atherosclerosis Protection Protocol) and for hearing disorders and vertigo (dizziness) where blood flow is poor in the ears. It also offers significant protective action against the development of Alzheimer's disease (See Alzheimer’s Disease Protection Protocol), hearing (See Hearing Protection Protocol) loss and it protects arterial walls. Ginkgo has been shown to increase blood flow to the capillaries by up to 60% within one hour of ingestion.

Studies often show ginkgo must be taken for at least 4 to 6 months for most benefits to be achieved.

Several studies have shown Ginkgo to be very protective of the kidneys (See Kidney Protection Protocol) when used in conjunction with substances which attacked the kidney such as our modern wonder toxic drugs.

  

Ginkgo achieves its blood flow enhancement without any increase in blood pressure.

One of the most positive qualities of Ginkgo Biloba is the tendency of its effects to sometimes become permanent, which eventually renders continued use unnecessary. This quality is emblematic of many homeopathic ingredients. For some Ginkgo uses such as Alzheimer’s it may be necessary to use Ginkgo for three to six months to see results and the ginkgo must be taken continuously. There is MUCH evidence that starting to take ginkgo prophylactically at a relatively early age can make your life noticeably better. Ask your body if it wants that?
