Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I have been considering giving my daughter (8y/o) gingko but did not know how to determine the dosage or which brands to try- any advice would be appreciated. mom to na 8 (ds)Freddies Mommy wrote: Thanks for everyone's responses. I raised the questionbecause I ran out of my particular brand of Gingko andused an "off brand" (local pharmacy). Freddie was outof it with in 24 hours. He was foggy and unable tofocus. He was back to being stubborn and noncooperative at school. As soon as I got him back onhis regular brand he was back to himself in 12 hours.I just wanted to see if Freddie's response was similarto anyone else. I know some folks are rolling theireyes right now. But I am sure it is like the way somekids respond the gluten or sugar. What makes one child"off" may not affect another.We have yet to try removing him from the Gingko alltogether. I'm not going backwards with this kid so Idoubt it will happen say for maybe surgery. Even thenI am going to make sure the doctor pays closeattention to his attention span, response time andover all mental well being. Fortunately ourpediatrician is Asian and gets the whole Ginkgo thing.He's still on the fence about vaccines though. I'mworking on that one with him....;-)Thanks all!!!!nnaMommy to Freddie 6 yrs Full Inclusion KindyLive simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speakkindly. Leave the rest to God!
