I have not discerned any effect on my health or sense of well-being one way or the other. I have always thought of CoQ10 as an anti-cancer supplement, so I have only used it intermittently (believing of course that since I have PD I am immune from cancer). Ginkgo biloba I have more experience with....have taken it for the last 6-8 months on a semi-regular basis. It is well known as a brain food, recommended in the Smart Drug literature for increased blood flow to the brain, memory enhancement, etc. I'm willing to believe that more blood in the brain is more conducive to brain health than less. It's hard to say whether I'm experiencing any beneficial effect. I am seven years into PD and still manipulating mathematics and finance daily at work, with no slip-ups that I'm aware of. My husband suffered memory loss following a bout with the flu, and he testifies that gingko has restored some of his memory function. I believe other members of this list also use gingko, maybe they have more definitive results..... Lisa, did you change your address? Your mail is being returned to me! Re: Danny 's request for NADH info, I might suggest an archive search. I can imagine that our archives have more info on NADH than any other source known to man :-) Kathie Tollifson [log in to unmask]
