Nope there is no demonstrable evidence that supports ginko having any effect. The one study from JAMA had a small sample, and a 60% dropout rate before the end of the study. In other words as far as I can see with this dropout rate it should never have been accepted for publication in the first place. You cannot conclude anything when you lose most of the sample before the end of the study.
As for no studies finding it doesn't, well shooting people in the head cures cancer. But there's been no studies supporting it. " There also are no studies saying it doesn't." Same logic as what you're using. Then again I guess you can be comfortable with unproven, potentially harmful treatments given to people who are the most vunerable. I won't support such unfounded myths being applied to these people. On 12/1/05, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Larry doesn't read his own links. It seems to work for dementia.
