There is some evidence that Ginkgo helps ameliorate symptoms of MS. This is a pretty good study, though it needs to have a much larger N.

Here is another article on the same study.

There are many studies that link Ginkgo to memory, but the findings are, IMHO a bit soft. I think that there are indeed herbs (and very likely Ginkgo) that improve memory. But I’d like to see more and better studies. Maybe I’m just a stickler for scientific rigor.

In any case, this is a great (and cheap) way to improve cognitive functioning in MS sufferers with hardly any side effect.

huge progress in this. As a person who could benefit from repair of brain neurons, I like it!

The whole stem cell issue has to be marked by a conversation about how converted adult cells are different that embryonic stem cells (those that come from dead babies). I’m not willing to kill kids in order to be made well. I’m not a vampire. Or a democrat (though those two are basically the same).
