what you think about it ?
I can give you LOTS of answers but you will be required to do some reading and thinking.

I have a massive amout of GOOD info on WHY and HOW many of these things, and many more, can help the MS problem by protecting Myelin from damage. It all comes for the NIH-NLM. I have both the abstracts and full text articles in many cases.

I do not understand why there is not more discussion here on this board about this stuff.

I would like your comments and feedback if you want my info.

Most of the time I think I am only talking to myself.

I regret seeming so negative but some negative experiences have had their effect.

You already have some good info from the right source.

Re: Ginkgo

Post by lyndacarol »

In the conclusion of this second article posted by Dignan, it was stated there were no side effects reported for ginkgo. Apparently, some have been discovered since this article posted in 2006; yesterday Dr. Oz related that ginkgo is a natural painkiller for headaches, especially migraines, but that ginkgo is not advised for diabetics because it raises insulin levels (about 5:30 in this video).

In searching for an appropriate thread to post this ginkgo information, I discovered that many people are using it – believing it would help MS, I used it for many years too, but have now discontinued.

Nowhere else have I heard of this ginkgo/insulin connection:

Who do you want for your doctor? A few year ago, the AMA published the average life span of doctors was 56 years. They have stopped. I wonder Why.
I have read the Bio’s of many natural health doctors, dietitians and researchers.
Most seemed to lived 70 to 90 odd years, one to a 108 and he had diabetes and only had complications the last 2 years.

2013 review: herbal medicines contamination

Post by jimmylegs »

Contamination and adulteration of herbal medicinal products (HMPs): an overview of systematic reviews (2013)
https://link.springer.com/article/10.10 ... 012-1353-z

Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this overview of systematic reviews is to summarise and critically evaluate the evidence from systematic reviews of the adulteration and contamination of herbal medicinal products (HMPs).

Methods
Five electronic databases were searched to identify all relevant systematic reviews.

Results
Twenty-six systematic reviews met our inclusion criteria. The most commonly HMPs were adulterated or contaminated with dust, pollens, insects, rodents, parasites, microbes, fungi, mould, toxins, pesticides, toxic heavy metals and/or prescription drugs. The most severe adverse effects caused by these adulterations were agranulocytosis, meningitis, multi-organ failure, perinatal stroke, arsenic, lead or mercury poisoning, malignancies or carcinomas, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, nephrotoxicity, rhabdomyolysis, metabolic acidosis, renal or liver failure, cerebral edema, coma, intracerebral haemorrhage, and death. Adulteration and contamination of HMPs were most commonly noted for traditional Indian and Chinese remedies, respectively.

Conclusions
Collectively these data suggest that there are reasons for concerns with regards to the quality of HMPs. Adulteration and contamination of HMPs can cause serious adverse effects. More stringent quality control and its enforcement seem to be necessary to avoid health risks.
