Must have been the 7 p.m. new I saw with Peter Jennings. Anyhow, he went on and on about "Ginkgo Biloba", and how it had improved the memories of Alzhiemers patients. What caught my attention was that they showed PET scans before and after administration of this herbal drugs, and the increase in activity throughout the brain following ingestion was startling. I don't go in for herbal remedies (as I have expressed before), but this one impressed me. The Chinese have used Gingko for memory enhancement for centuries. ------ Mary Ann
