Ginkgo (aka gingko or ginkgo biloba) is in essence a blood thinner that can help a variety of mental ailments.  Ginkgo is also considered by many to aid against cancer as ginkco can normalize a cell PBR receptor (which controls how much cholesterol goes into the cell) and PBR receptors on cancer cells tend to go berserk.   Lastly, ginkgo is a powerful antioxidant. 

For those taking blood thinners (like aspirin) or antidepressants (which you should never use anyway for depression) then you should know the ginkgo mixed with these chemicals could cause problems.  There is some back and forth over the effectiveness of ginkco and possible side effects.  You'll have to make up your own mine.

• Ginkgo reduces Ovarian Cancer by 60%
  
• Ginkco injections (specifically ginkgolide A and B) shrinks cancer tumors by 80%
  
• Ginkco reduces breast tumors by 80% and brain tumors as well
  
• Ginkgo fights aging by counteracting 'rusting' of nerve cells
  
• Study shows Gingko helps with memory
  
• Study shows Gingko just as affective against Alzheimers as the drug donepezil

 

Please note that many of the cures on this website are in a state of incomplete progress. To simplify, I have created a 'best natural cures' page which I believe contain the most effective, non-drug, non-surgical cures available.
