A review led by Austrian scientists and published in the Sept 2009 issue of Fortschritte der Neurologie-Psychiatrie suggests that Ginkgo biloba extract is at least as effective as commonly prescribed drugs in treating dementia.

Kasper S and Shubert H from Medizinische Universität Wien in Vienna, Austria reported that the ginkgo biloba extract, EGB 761,  affects  pathomechanisms relevant to dementia, such as Abeta agregation, mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, and hypoperfusion.

Kasper and Schubert reviewed 10 randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of the ginkgo biloba extract in the treatment of dementia, specifically Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia.

They found three of the four large trials showed the ginkgo biloba extract was significantly more effective than a placebo in treating mental dysfunctions.  Six smaller trials are consistent with the larger trials.

Only one study was inconclusive; this was in large part due to questionable external validity resulting from uncommonly rigorous patient selection.

The reviewed trials along with the most recent clinical trial suggest that the ginkgo biloba extract is most beneficial to patients with neurosychiactric symptoms

experienced by the majority of dementia patients.

The ginkgo biloba extract was found as effective as cholinesterase inhibitors, which are commonly used to treat dementia including Alzheimer’s disease.

One trial showed that compared to donepezil, a centrally acting reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor marketed under the trade name Aricept by its developer Eisai and partner Pfizer, the herbal medicine was not inferior to the Alzheimer’s drug.

The reviewers suggest that EGB 761 has its place in the treatment of dementia.

Headaches are one of the most common ailments people experience. It is estimated that 50 million people seek medical attention for headaches every year in the US alone and over $500,000,000 is spent annually on headache medicine. There are many herbal remedies for headaches that can help you without taking chemical based medicines.

The two most common types of headache are tension headaches which are caused by muscular tension and headaches caused by a constriction of blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. A few of the common causes are stress, poor posture, caffeine, eye strain, low blood sugar, allergies, sinusitis, and tiredness. There are also more severe problems that can cause headaches, but they are far less common. It is estimated that 90% of all headaches are tension headaches.

According to a report by 7th Space Interactive, a survey done in Hong Kong showed an interesting trend.  Although many of the Cancer patients questioned did use Western medicine for their treatment, many also integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in some way.  This is just one example of the potential of combining alternative medicine with conventional Western practices.

Details of the Hong Kong study on the preference of Chinese cancer patients

Close to 800 patients were interviewed for this survey.  The results showed that 42.9% used Western medicine practices for cancer treatment exclusively.  Everybody else used at least one form of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with five patients solely using TCM.  The popular treatments from both disciplines include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, herbal medicine, and diet.

Another interesting find of the Hong Kong study; many of the cancer patients did not tell their doctors that they were using TCM along with the Western treatments.  Despite a trend of believing in the combined positive effect of TCM and Western medicine, the Chinese patients do not feel comfortable talking about their preferences, at least with their doctors who are practicing Western medicine.

Fortunately, across the world, from North America, to Europe, to the East, alternative medicine practices, which have always been a part of every culture, are being recognized more and more for their potential, if not to replace Western medicine, than to complement conventional techniques and practices.  This bridge is the beginning of not only new breakthroughs, but also a new, more open-minded way of thinking.

I am really enjoying the end of this decade and have been thinking about what has taken place. And I feel so ready for all the new things that I have been working toward to support the New Year and the next ten years of my life.

I have been focusing on what I want in my life and what I am ready to leave behind. The last ten years began for me with a terrible auto accident that left me and my husband stunned, shaken and weakened for quite a long time. Recovery may still be ungoing due to the effects of tissue damage, sometimes worse than broken bones. The nightmare of that time coincided with a depressing decline in our business and a feeling that we are spinning our wheels and not going anywhere.  Read More…

PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Ginkgo biloba may help reduce peripheral vascular disease (PAD), but showed no evidence it reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a new study from the American Heart Association (CIRCOUTCOMES. 2009 Published online before print November 24, 2009, doi: 10.1161/.109.871640).

The study’s aim was to look at ginkgo and CVD, which was a preplanned secondary outcome of the Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory (GEM) Study, published in November 2008. The GEM trial reported ginkgo had no effect on the incident dementia.

For this new double-blind trial, researchers randomly assigned 3,069 participants older than 75 years of age to 120 mg of Ginkgo biloba twice daily or placebo. After six years, ginkgo supplementation was associated with a reduced risk of PAD. Only 35 PAD events were reported among the subjects; 12 (0.8 percent) in the ginkgo group and 23 (1.5 percent) in the placebo group (P=0.04).

However, ginkgo did not prove to reduce CVD. There were 355 deaths in the study, 87 due to coronary heart disease with no differences between the ginkgo and the placebo groups. There were no differences in incident myocardial infarction (n=164), angina pectoris (n=207) or stroke (151) between the two groups. There were 24 hemorrhagic strokes, 16 in the ginkgo group and eight in the on placebo group; this was not statically significant.

“Ginkgo biloba not only improves declining memory but offers specific benefits for other cognitive functions as well” that’s how Dr. Reiner Kaschel, Clinical Neuropsychologist at the University of Osnabrueck, Germany, summarizes the results of a comprehensive new scientific publication.

Internet shopping, online-banking, non-stop heavy traffic, unfamiliar and complicated ticketing machines, PINs for mobile phones and credit cards – our everyday professional and private lives are varied and complex and demand a permanently high degree of mental performance. Because certain cognitive features such as information processing, speed and flexibility of thinking, as well as ability to concentrate tend to decline with age, more and more people feel there is a gap between demands and performance. This is leading to greater interest in possible ways to combat cognitive decline.

A new approach to assessing the scientific evidence for Ginkgo biloba

Kaschel analyzed the scientific evidence for Ginkgo from a total of 29 published clinical trials to clarify whether Ginkgo extracts may be recommended to improve declining mental performance. Central to Kaschel’s publication were the following questions not yet fully explored in the scientific literature:

- Does Ginkgo biloba improve mental performance in general or are there specific areas of cognitive functions where the extract shows a particular benefit?

- Which specific aspects of memory are strengthened?

- Does Ginkgo biloba also offers benefits for selective attention, executive functioning or intelligence?

The review covered all placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized studies between 1980 and 2007, in which function-specific tests for cognitive decline were applied. The study findings were then analyzed for separate areas of mental performance: Memory, attention, executive functions, and intelligence.

Efficacy shown in all areas of cognitive function

29 studies with a total of 2,414 participants being either healthy old adults or patients showing first signs of cognitive decline provided the database for the review. In total 209 Ginkgo – placebo comparisons were analyzed with the result that in all cognitive functional areas examined, Ginkgo extract showed significant positive effects compared to placebo. Drug effects could thus be proven in areas including but not limited to short- and long-term memory, concentration, attention and executive functions with a probability 4-8-fold higher than expected purely by chance.

Author’s Conclusion: „There is consistent evidence that chronic administration (of Ginkgo extract) improves selective attention, some executive processes and long-term memory for verbal and non-verbal material.”

EGb 761® is a patented Ginkgo biloba extract developed and manufactured by Dr. Willmar Schwabe GmbH & Co. KG, Karlsruhe, Germany. It is widely recognized as the best researched phytomedicine world-wide and is available in more than 80 countries.
