Tried it years ago. Slightly better focus, but some absolutely horrible headaches here and there. Never had the desire to try it again.

I was aware of side effects such as  bleeding of the brain and bleeding after surgery, however I figured I would Google some side effect side effects just to be sure, and here's a short list of known side effects of Ginkgo biloba...
anal sphincter spasms


bleeding after surgery
bleeding of the eye (imagine blowing your nose and feeling like your eyes teared up and when you wipe on your notice it's fucking blood LoL)
blood in urine (take it from me, when your piss looks like hot sauce, it kind of gets your attention)
cardiac arrest (that'd suck)
coma (really can't complain about this one. I really need  to catch up on some sleep)
constipation
death (kind of an inconvenience)
diarrhea
distortion of taste
dizziness
dry mouth
edema
fertility reduction
.......e...t....c....

death, sounds more like a main effect than a side effect.

Be careful questioning his medical opinion.......he discusses and shares his theories and experience with consultants who seek his advice.

You want better mental acuity?

2-3 grams of Acetyl L-Carnitine with some caffeine.  Empty stomach, morning and afternoon.  

You're welcome.

Well, the surgeon at the hospital asked him if he was ever in medical school or was a pharmacist.  :D :D :D

I think he said "did you ever break in a medical school or pharmacists to steal painkillers?"

Where do you find all this crap?

I know a top notch neuro surgeon who gives ginkgo biloba to his patients after brain surgery. I know a bunch of them and they're all fine.

It has antiplatelet properties, similar to aspirin.  You'll be fine provided that you're not taking any blood thinners or heading into surgery soon.

Well, the bookcase came in a box.

And what's wrong with searching for odd used books at thrift stores? Sure, I could've picked up a replacement copy of Atlas Shrugged for $4.39 on Amazon and had it in my bookcase in 2 days, but it was more fun looking for it in every thrift stores shelves I came across for 3years before finding it for $.50 (maybe it was a dollar? I forget), & in the meantime picking up dozens of other books for $.50-$2. Few novels, but majority being books on business, philosophy/socialogy, history, biographies, & textbooks. Endocrinology (my favorites being from the 1950's), kinesiology, pathology, pharmacology, etc...

wait, you have time to scour thrift stores, when the fuck do you find time to do that with all your celeb meet and greets?

Or is is it that your real life is just hanging around thrift stores in between begging for spare change and the celeb life is just a fantasy?

I will have to mull that over....

Obsession

That's probably what I would say as well. If I were some 52yr old loser with social anxiety disorder and agoraphobia.

You would probably say you had a waterproof IPad and you were posting from 500ft underwater because you had just broken the world free diving record.
