Ginkgo Biloba The Hidden Dangers Beneath The Health Benefits

[@MrBlooCola]

What's with all these negative comments? It's as if you guys didn't even watch the video. Almost all of what he said was positive and the only negative aspect was that taking it with NSAIDs could be harmful due to Ginko's vaso-dilation effect along with NSAIDs anti-inflamitory properties. He even recommended a dosage if you want to take it.

[@ramir332]

MrBlooCola he said ginko alone will make you bleed without taking any other drug. So it is bad!

[@JDMaya]

HE SAID IT WOULD OR COULD HAPPEN TO SOME OR CERTAIN PEOPLE.

[@therealmichaelaguirre6722]

Yes. Nice a listener.

[@sugarjagi2211]

Whatever drug we take that is in excess or use improperly (right dosage, timing, other drug interactions) is bad. What he says is just an awareness that even herbal medicine such as gingkobiloba, if not taken properly, can be bad, because, you know, these substances too have chemicals in it, altho not synthetic, that may affect the normal physiological and biochemical processes of the body.

[@missball404]

what about the side effects to all these prescription drugs doctors are prescribing??? smh

[@sphinxhutc2829]

Exactly you were right on target with that comment the more we talk about this shit better I help forget to set please f****** killing mafia down

[@sphinxhutc2829]

You are right on target with your comment we need to talk about this more then spread this word this medical killing Mafia is just that they don't want you to have anything healthy they want to keep you in the system American Cancer Society is the biggest scam in the United States there's been a chance and chair since 18 hundreds and more and more have come up and those doctors have been shut down because of this medical chilling mafia so stay healthy stay the f*** away from them...

[@aricars6263]

+missball404 Doctors dont wanna hear that.

[@gmogottago7746]

+maciej wrotek How would you know if it works or not? Have you tried it?

[@veraalice989]

That's is already commonly known . It says it on the drug label. They go to school to learn about drugs not herbs but I don't know if I could trust a doctor about a herbal medication. Although what he says makes a lot of sense. I would not want my blood to be thinner than it already is unless I had problem with the viscosity of my circulation.

[@uncommonsense637]

I went through the references and could not find one study that showed Ginkgo Biloba caused any kind of internal bleeding unless it was used where a individual was or had been using blood-thinners, anti-depressants or other drugs that DO interact. If you can show me that I would be willing to give it a notice. I also would like to explain a common misconception. Blood thinners are dangerous because they thin the blood irregardless of the bodies healing processes or what is actually need so they can actually cause serious issues. HOWEVER, in the plant and herb kingdom most of the time that is NOT what is taking place. Herbs like Ginkgo Biloba and Cayenne equalize the blood, there is a huge difference. The herbs do it naturally and in synergy with your body, the drug does it arbitrarily in complete disregard of the body. There is some concern about Ginkgo Biloba being possibly dangerous if taken too often, I am not willing to start emphatically that is not true. But I have researched for hours on this herb and cannot find a credible study that indicates this is the case.

[@andrereog5419]

Really?

[@liams7409]

Imagine if the doctors prescribed this INSTEAD of the dangerous pharmaceuticals that can have the same and usually even worse dangers.

[@terriestapley5475]

When you click on the link in your description box and follow the prompts to your article, it only allows you to view the first page of the article, at least that’s what happened when I tried- this is very interesting information and I was looking forward to learning more-

[@reidbowens]

In the page search bar type in Ginkgo and the information will be there.

[@bobbylong8348]

I've been taking 250 mg of Gingko and 75 mg of Aspirin together for more than 10 years, never had a problem. I do this in the interest of counteracting the bad influence of cigarettes, which I haven't been able to quit.

[@gitanjalireddy4372]

I used to take 1 pill every day in the morning before breakfast. During my exam time I increased it to 2, one before breakfast and one before dinner. I started having horrible headaches. I thought it was because of the test stress but after my exams I quit Ginko biloba completely. The headaches stopped almost miraculously. I had a bit of anxiety after quitting and that’s when I realised I would create a dependency on it if I didn’t act quickly so I said goodbye to it since. Blueberries, curcumin, apple cider vinegar are other things I include in my regular diet which helps with anxiety and good brain health.

[@duchuyhuynh]

You supposed to take it after meals?

[@BillySmith-nt8vk]

never had a problem with ginko

[@coryphillips1783]

How many years have you been taking it?

[@mirvgeorge3290]

I wonder why this doctor don't explain how dangerous proscription drugs are.. Instead of hating on a natural product...smh

[@woodroblue8332]

so true he want u too buy his

[@martinkupilas9338]

Probably because the dangers of all prescription drugs are given on the leaflets of all prescription drugs

[@AaronBatteenA3]

This was informative, and he's certainly not hating on Ginko. He spends the first half the video explaining the benefits. Everything - even natural products - have side effects and it's important for people to be educated on them.

[@rightcoast4983]

mirv george I was planning on saying exactly what you did... I'll take natural stuff all day over prescription drugs.

[@chromiakocosmos8888]

I now right?

[@stevecommisso9686]

This is one of the best reviews I have seen. One the one hand the Dr specifically gives all the information leading to the positive aspects of GB and then very correctly states the things to look out for. It is the best review cause either you will have negation or you will have someone "super-hyping" a supplement. This review is enough for me to subscribe to the channel and look up more things regarding the Dr's research. Thumbs up!

[@doniphan72ify]

Steve Commisso ... Well if it's so good , than how come he never once cited the study that's shown that ginko causes internal bleeding in the brain and elsewhere ? He even doubled down and said Ginko on its own can do this without any supporting medications . I'm not saying that ginko doesn't possibly do that , I just don't know , but it seems to me that this is another doctor that is trying to slow the supplement train down by telling you the great benefits and then scaring the shit out of you from ever trying it by telling you it has this huge side effect that can kill you , and all of this without giving any proof or citing of a controlled study

[@panchotheaddict420]

before taking ginko i had brain fog, tennis elbow, poor circulation to my legs which caused severe cramping when i went out for jogs. since taking ginko all those things have supsided and now i feel like im in the moment now. a sense of calrity

[@marieg1625]

Thank you! I started taking Gingko Biloba last night because I have trouble remembering and I have noticed that I have been having hard time concentrating on what I needed to do on a daily basis.

[@urosaleksic6950]

How is going now?

[@marieg1625]

I honestly don't feel much of a difference. I guess I have to use it for months to be able to feel the best effects of it.

[@sampheonix]

+Kiss 2makeup did that work?

[@marieg1625]

you know what I have noticed that this past months I've been taking it, I've been more alert and my memory has been good, but on days that I missed taking it.. my memory slows down a little.. I don't know if its just cause I'm stressed or tired.

[@sampheonix]

It means it's addictive

[@elitedonk]

Ginkgo Biloba gives me crazy, vivid and sometimes lucid dreams.

Ginkgo biloba, or maidenhair tree, is renowned worldwide for its medicinal properties. This remarkable tree is known as a 'living fossil', as it is the sole survivor of an ancient group of trees that date back to beyond the time of the dinosaurs. The maidenhair tree remains virtually unchanged today and represents the only living bridge between 'higher' and 'lower' plants (between ferns and conifers).

Great information,my dad is 85 yrs old with dimentia,he also had a mild stroke last yr that affected his left side, particularly his left hand which he says always feels really cold,do you think GINKO could possibly help him,and what dosage should he take and how often??? Thanks so much in advance..

[@georgeseraganian271]

taking ginkgo biloba Jamieson brand for 5 years.helps cognition and eye sight. thins blood to flow through small veins leading to eyes and brain. take once or twice a day.. have had no problems with it.

[@derekonlinenow777]

How about modafinil? What are the risks and consequences?

[@CyanSupernatural]

As far as my experience it enhanced my alertness a lot. It was more subtle though, and didn't make me anxious like adderall or such stimulants. However, it made it so I couldn't breathe that well and I felt a pressure on my chest each time I took it so I stopped.

[@freddiebatistajr.6443]

Never had any problems personally!!!

[@anasazirose]

3:52. Could be dangerous if combined with an anticoagulant drug or any NSAIDs..... 1- COULD be, 2- don't combine, 3- Your statement is that gingko is dangerous if combined with NSAIDs and is backwards.... It's the NSAIDs that are dangerous if they are combined with gingko, heck the NSAIDs are dangerous without combining with anything.

[@notoriousei9650]

[@olivertanner7993]

Thanks for the thorough presentation. Great job!

[@AshtrayHDlate]

So if it gives one a higher risk of bleeding, it should not be considered as a supplement for someone who had a heavy stroke(vein bursted) a year and a half ago? When i heard about this plant, first thing that crossed my mind was that someone suffering from a stroke (one half of the body lacks feeling, and impaired speech) can further improve if taking the right ginko biloba supplement. If anyone knows something more for this specific case, please let me know. Thanks.

[@user-ur9wy1lt8z]

Just because it's an herb don't mean it can't have side effects. Herbs are poisonous as well, and some are as lethal as chemicals.

[@marciab1279]

True

[@ahmedhumoud8250]

can I take ginko biloba with magnesium ?

[@StaarGaazingJPEG]

I experimented with it for several years in the hottest day of summer I would take a tablespoon of dry powder and steep it with my tea. I can go all day long on a bike and not be tired. I'm not young. I have had no negative side effects I recommend it highly to everyone that is still interested in an active life. And if you are a student at any age you will benefit tremendously . And this to your morning routine. Take a capsular or two of it. Ginkgo biloba is just leaves from a tree.

Are you being paid by Big Pharma? All you had to say is dont take with Nsaids and not try to scare people into not taking it.

I read so many positive things about ginkgo. I have a friend who has lyme disease and macular degeneration. As I am doing my research I found your youtube. I read only 5-8 a day no more then that to eat. I am interested in ginkgo to boost my memory. Can I email you on a personal note?? Thank You

[@LisaPassions]

So I suggest that if anyone taking this for the first time, take only a quarter of that dosage to see what it does to you first 🤔 be mindful & careful with ginkgo bibloba can be too strong for some people. I had a bad experience with it and many other's have to.

There's loads of people saying he's hating on this herb, I didn't get that from him at all, he was just advising of the right dose to take because if you thin your blood and have a condition like say: von willebrand it could be fatal. All he's saying is there is a dose to take and he clearly listed the benefits.

I use tahini for pain when I get it. I wonder if it would be bad to take Ginkgo Biloba is I use the ground sesame? I do have low blood pressure. I have never seen it over a 100 and a 100 would be high for my blood pressure. Most people that get blood pressure as low as mine feel sick an lethargic Iv'e never taken medicine for my blood pressure because I think it is just my normal blood pressure, even when I was an older teen the nurses would say that I have blood pressure of a child. I am very athletic and I'm 40 now. I just wonder sometimes if my brain and body get enough blood circulation. I sleep with my legs elevated a couple times a week and I practice deep breathing, because I want circulation. I also like to try to get in touch with my genetic memories and I was wondering if Ginkgo might help. I like my brain to work for me at it's optimal level.

[@amybloom1945]

+Amy Bloom I just sleep with my legs elevated a couple days a week because I get paranoid about having lower blood pressure then what is considered normal. I practice deep breathing because I get paranoid of my low blood pressure.

Hi Dr. Meschino, I am a healthy 32 year old and on 37.5mg of plavix from 75mg for a blood clot I had which is dissolved. Can I continue to ween off plavix and use ginko eventually to replace the plavix in the future? Any thoughts or advice Doctor? Seems to me cardiologists should be considering natural alternatives like gingko, vitamin E, gingerol, tueric, Strauss Heart Drops etc. instead of anti-platelets and anticoagulants and even some heart meds.

[@sinchi558]

+ramir332 FALSE

[@ramir332]

[@sinchi558]

My pleasure, Ginkgo biloba will make you bleed only if you combine it with other anticoagulant medicines or supplements, if you use the incorrect dosage (safe dosage is below 200 mg daily), or if you suffer from a coagulation related disease. If you use Ginkgo correctly is totally harmless in my experience. Regards.

[@Vicorcivius]

Why don't you talk about all of the side effects of synthetic drugs you constantly prescribe to people? The synthetic drugs on average do much more harm to people than herbs do. No one disputes that Modern medicine has done great things for many people and helped extend many peoples lives. But it has also done a great deal of damage to people as well and that is rarely if ever talked about, It is always swept under the rug and kept out of sight of the masses. There are many herbal compounds produced by plants that can help treat many illnesses and cure some illnesses as well. Yet the modern medical industry will push the synthetic man made compounds that usually have horrible "side" effects over the herbal remedies that exist in nature. That is what is a crime against humanity and it needs to end now.
